The bottled water corporate scam and fantasies of purity and virtue Bottled water is often no better tasting or safer than tap water. Then why do we buy it? Fantasies of purity and virtue aid the corporate campaign to get us to pay what we could get for free.

Protecting the Torturers: Bad Faith and Distortions From the American Psychological Association The American Psychological Association has gone out on a limb protecting psychologists' participation in abusive behaviors at Guantánamo and elsewhere in America's national security prisons. This article provides additional evidence of the limits to which the Association has gone. Only a full discussion of the links between psychology and the national security state will bring change.

Paranoia, depression, or a world of hope: We live in a nation dominated by fear. That fear arises from the economic insecurity that permeates our society and from the disowned destructiveness of American society, instead ascribed to our “enemies.” We can either continue to fear, be immobilized in self-attack and hopelessness, or acknowledge our destructiveness, accept the world’s uncertainty, and transform it into a constructive force for creating a better society.

The Avian Flu Threat is Real As talk of an avian flu threat has spread, so too have various conspiracy theories, based on the Bush administration record of dishonesty. One recent theory is that the avian flu threat is largely bogus and is being hyped to allow government money to flow to drug companies. This article demonstrates that the threat of an avian flu pandemic is not bogus, and is, indeed, real.

Toward a Society of Equals Emotions and metaphoric "frames" play a large role in how political messages are perceived. Currently pervasive frames, based on a metaphor of the polity as family, assume inequality. Can alternate frames based on an ethic of equality be imagined?

The Sex Lives and Sexual Frustrations of US troops in Iraq Over 100,000 young adult US troops are in Iraq for long tours of duty. Yet, virtually nothing is known about their sex lives while there.

Total surveillance state takes giant leap in Britain Britain is constructing a system of surveillance cameras that will be able to record and store for years every trip taken by every driver.
