This Friday, March 28th, a diverse group of over 100 cyclists,
videographers, artists and community leaders came together for the
"Still
We Speak" rally in Union Square to denounce the NYPD's First Amendment
abuses, which include the parade permit rules limited the number of
people
who can legally assemble in a public place.

Question: Is denouncing NAZI literature as
"fascist" and "inciting people to murder" ...
"clearly crass and self-serving exercises that
pay lip service to the idea of freedom of
speech while being little more than vehicles
for xenophobia?"

Activists decide to vote
By: Joanna Bernstein
Posted: 3/28/08

Despite their concerns about universal healthcare, workers' rights, the
Iraq war, and climate change, many campus radicals have been reluctant
to vote. The students claimed that the federal government is too corrupt
to fairly count their votes.

However, in light of recent sociopolitical revelations, self-proclaimed
activists at Guilford College have decided to vote in the 2008
Presidential election.

After practicing social deviance for years, anarchists, communists, and
other political minorities have succumbed to participatory democracy.

Sophomore peace and conflict studies major Alyzza Callahan registered to
vote as an independent last weekend.

The Top Ten Craziest Things John McCain Has Said While You Weren't Watching
By Cliff Schecter, AlterNet
Posted on March 29, 2008
http://www.alternet.org/story/80622/

John McCain has been saying a lot of downright nutty things lately.
You've probably come across some of them, such as his admitted lack of
knowledge about economics or his excitement at the prospect of remaining
in Greater Mesopotamia for the next ten decades. Yet, alas, much of his
craziness has been lost in the fog of the ongoing battle between Sens.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential
nomination. So here's a recap of some nuggets of wisdom you may have
missed -- from McCain's mouth to Bellevue's Ears.

10. Responding to a student who criticized his remark about our staying
in Iraq for 100 years, McCain quipped, "No American argues against our
military presence in Korea or Japan or Germany or Kuwait or other
places, or Turkey, because America is not receiving casualties."

Blue Collar, Bare Cupboards

Ten miles outside Eugene in west central Oregon, little
wooden houses and mobile homes make up the town of Alvadore.
The homes are too far apart to give the town--population
1,358--the appearance of a city, yet too close together for
it to come off as true countryside. Old, domestically
manufactured cars line the streets, as well as a few rundown
mom-and-pop convenience stores.

Body of War

We just passed the grim milestone of 4,000 U.S. military
members killed in Iraq since the invasion five years ago.
Still, the death toll climbs.

Typically unmentioned alongside the count of U.S. war dead
are the tens of thousands of wounded (not to mention the
Iraqi dead). The Pentagon doesn't tout the number of U.S.
injured, but the Web site icasualties.org reports an official
number of more than 40,000 soldiers requiring medical
airlifts out of Iraq, a good indicator of the scale of major
injuries. That doesn't include many others. Dr. Arthur Blank,
an expert on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), estimates
that 30 percent of Iraq veterans will suffer from PTSD.

Fingerprint Scans Replace Clocking In

By DAVID B. CARUSO - 3 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's happening at Dunkin' Donuts, at Hilton hotels,
even at Marine Corps bases: Employees are starting and ending their
days by pressing a hand or finger to a scanner that logs the precise
time of their arrival and departure, and the information is
automatically reflected in payroll records.

Manufacturers say these biometric devices improve efficiency and
streamline payroll operations. Employers big and small buy them with
the dual goals of keeping workers honest and automating outdated
record-keeping systems that rely on paper time sheets.

The new systems have raised complaints, however, from some workers who
see the efforts to track their movements as excessive or creepy.

"They don't even have to hire someone to harass you anymore. The
machine can do it for them," said Ed Ott, executive director of the
New York City Central Labor Council of the AFL-CIO. "The palm print
thing really grabs people as a step too far."

Former New Left leader Carl Oglesby on the '60s, his old friend Hillary
Clinton, and the dream of a left-libertarian alliance
Bill Kauffman
April 2008

In the 1960s there emerged a New Left. Until it was infected with the
viruses of violence and Leninism, it was contemptuous of the Old Left’s
embrace of bureaucratic centralism and committed to “participatory
democracy,” civil rights for blacks, and, above all, the withdrawal of
U.S. forces from Vietnam.
