Max Comfort Hits The Campaign Trail -- The Big Dressing Down An article in the Wall Street Journal -- Candidates Figure What Voters Need From Them Is A Good Dressing Down -- gives us hope today for the end of sartorial madness and the tired old suit and tie routine. When politicians begin to break free of their suits of armor you know change is in the wind. Of course, Max Comfort, has known this for some time.

TIBET MURDERED BY CHINA What has happened to Tibet in the last few decades is no less than the crime of the ages – the defeat and disappearance of a society dedicated to enlightenment and spiritual evolution at the hands of ruthless, materialist, totalitarian Chinese invaders.

SUSPEND GATT-NAFTA AND REBUILD LOCAL ECONOMIES To get out of this new depression mess now requires a rebuilding of local economies. To accomplish this task we must suspend GATT-NAFTA rules or gut them entirely - and rebuild a democratic trade regime reflecting the will of the wage-earning majorities around the world. Imagine that, a democratic trade regime where the people elect their representative! We've had enough of capital's predation over labor and democracy.

How's That Government Vagina Workin' For Ya? The thought of women terminating a pregnancy, and expelling a zygote, drives some people crazy. So crazy in fact they want to own every women's body and deny them the right to control their own reproduction and family size. These same zealots also believe in a male sky god who, apparently, tells them that this "moral" tyranny is the way to go. Well, let me say once again, Get Your Goddamn Religion Outta My State!

LET'S HEAR IT FOR MORAL RELATIVISM More than simply bad manners, however, armed with unchanging beliefs absolutism becomes both cruel and dangerous - witness the Muslim terrorists, the Taliban, the Christian crusaders, the Inquisition, and thousands of years of human slaughter. In effect, all such absolutist dogmas are the root cause of inflated egos, of cruel and torturing certainty, of imperialism, genocide and war – all the very opposite of religion

The MAT Doctrine – Mutually Assured Torture Given recent events, we are now being made fools of, and made to look like Good Germans just following orders.. without limits. This when Iran and Al-Queda reveal they would never waterboard their foreign terrorist prisoners more than 150 times. Its against their morals. This is, of course, in response to the recent revelation that we did one of their terrorist captives 183 times, and then covered up the fact...

An Inconvenient President - Our Modern Tragedy One cannot view Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth eco-documentary without thinking what a completely different country, world, and environment we would now have if Gore had won the presidency and the election had not been stolen by Bush.

DRUG POGROM - The Drug War pogrom is indeed an "organized massacre of innocent people" and an insanely expensive, cruel, and counterproductive idiocy.

The "Productivity" Scam - Measure Of Misfortune Ddating from the onset of "free" trade, (read forced trade with the greater slave) the bulk of "productivity gains" touted by our totalitarian capitalists are the result of labor's outright extortion and "arbitrage." - a nice word indicating the power of employers to de-employ Americans and employ desperate, non-unionized, foreigners without rights, freedom, or protections.

The "Populist" Epithet – On Smearing The Majority Reading and hearing the ruling elite media stooges these days one comes to the conclusion that, apparently, a populist is a horrible thing to be. Imagine, a supporter of the rights and power of the people! Good God, the cheekiness of these upstarts questioning the control of society by big business or the wisdom or our legions of corporate-money-fed beltway fascist wannabees.

Free trade... try Democratic Trade It is now evident the NAFTA/GATT regimes (dictated by capital) have, like other stupid deregulations, generated far more costs and problems than the systems and regulations which they replaced... all at immense costs to our economy, standard of living and national security. So-called "free trade" fails the democratic test, produced as they were in secretive conclaves and foisted upon a purposely ill-informed public.

POPULATION TAKINGS - The Costs Of Belief And Per-Capita Ruin Every birth beyond replacement represents a per-capita "taking" of a portion of everyone else's per-capita earthly estate – i.e the per-person amount of space, land, water, and resources. The on-going rise in population today means such takings not only affect private property but all the commons, our commonwealth, as well as our economic and environmental security

INDEX OF DEMOCRATIC ECONOMIC FREEDOM The conservative Heritage foundation and Wall Street journal released their annual Index of Economic Freedom. At the top of this year's index are Hong Kong and Singapore, two countries not exactly known for the freedom and democracy of its people... and that is my point. What exactly does this index measure, is it freedom or corporate fascism and control by the money powers? Is it the freedom of the wage-earning?

Forget Hillary, TradeWatch's Lori Wallach For President Seeing Lori Wallach on Bill Moyers Journal program last night, it became clear to me that the ONE candidate the democrats should consider and draft for president is Lori Wallach. Here is a bright, articulate, lawyer who has spent the last 20 years fighting against the trade fascism imprinted on the American society by the ruling elites.

EDITOR FREEDOM IN CAPITAL'S MEDIA WORLD One way to free the press from today's mega-corporate leviathans and their profit-seeking, ruling-elite, owners is to free editors from the constraints of their at-will employments. The Editor Freedom Act is one such proposal.

Did You Elect Your Voting Machine? We need to recover our paper-ballot voting systems in order to have voting integrity, honesty, believable democracy, and we need our own representatives to give us the choice in this most important matter. Democracy can only come into being and proceed from the ground up, and so derive its authority from the most basic unit of society – the city. How did your city choose its voting processes... or did they?
