But could a British victory have paradoxically ended slavery sooner? Would they have been able to restore slavery after freeing thousands of slaves to fight with them? 8  |

 Patrick Walker: Can't Hillary Haters All Just Get Along? (Part 1) The Political Left in the US hasn't been able to demonstrate the remotest unity in decades. Maybe generations.

Suzana Megles: A Beautiful Soul
I am always enamored by reading the lives of some special people who thankfully become aware of injustices - whether to animals or to people and try to rectify them. Elizabeth Fink would turn her gifts to trying to address what she perceived as an injustice to the Atticus prisoners after the

John Whitehead: Kick Open the Doorway to Liberty: What Are We Waiting For?

 Adam Parsons: In praise of Russell Brand's sharing revolution For all of Brand's joking and braggadocio, a sagacious theme runs through his new book: that a peaceful revolution must bring about a fairer sharing of the world's resources, which depends upon a revelation about our true spiritual nature. |
 Richard Girard: Teaching Civil Disobedience The plutocratic oligarchs in our country are intent on dumbing us down until we are little more than mindless robots that work ourselves to death at their behest. All work should have dignity: Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR and JFK saw it. Marx saw it, Theodore Roosevelt saw it and MLK saw it best of all. The Jeffco School Board's proposal is an attack on what they believed. Here's a list of some history they wouldn't allow taught 12 |

 Dennis Trainor, Jr.: Ukraine Uprising: U.S Hypocrisy + Russian Aggression VS. Movement of the Squares After two months of protestors in Maidan Square in Kiev, Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych has been ousted and yet, with support from Russia, remains defiant.

 George Eliason: Is the Rebellion in Ukraine Really Aimed at Creating a National Socialist State? This article argues that the rebellion in Ukraine is not fundamentally aimed at forming closer ties with the European Union.
