Prophecy 2004 Brent Herbert 2004-01-11 9:09 AM
The following piece is intended to be 'inspirational', another attempt to share a 'virtual experience' you might say. In an attempt to save on disk space, I include links to one location. On Earth Day, April 22nd, 2001, I released a set of predictions describing how events would unfold up to and including the year 2004. Given how eerily accurate those prognostications turned out to be I anticipate that the predictions concerning 2004 will also follow the same pattern and come to pass. (text/plain)

Equitable International Development Silas Wain 2004-01-08 4:00 PM
Over the past few weeks I have been working on synthesizing the argument that, the time is now for the ecological revolution to go mainstream. Look at the signs that we are no longer in balance with the earth. From my observations our civilization does not share the intelligence/resources to foster the common bonds of humanity. Nor does the majority cultivate a respectful relationship of spiritual interdependence of all of life, its diversities and polarities. (text/plain)

In early July, 2001, John Ashcroft warned justice dept officials to avoid commercial air travel. What did JA know of the "existing threat level," why did he cut the anti-terrorism budget by $58 million, and why did he deny his own FBI a Z. Maussaoui search warrant? Hillary Wants To Know.

They Pry Them from Our Cold Dead Fingers Sharon Harris 2004-01-07 8:04 PM

School buses take our children to huge government buildings where socialism is taught in theory and by example, and the most treasured spiritual values and are banished. That's why we have the right to bear arms -- to defend our children from the invasion of their MINDS. (image/gif)

Club for Growth uses Hate, Hypocrisy and Insults to attack Dean Moore's Shadow 2004-01-06 7:47 PM
The same Individuals who awarded Dean one of the highest grades on CATO's Fiscal Report Card on the Governors were also behind this TV ad: "Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs."

Capitalism: Is Capitalism The Problem Or Is It Human Greed? Gabrielle Reilly 2004-01-05 11:17 AM

I write this article for people much like myself, idealistic and desiring a fairer, more stable world with less violence, less starvation, equal rights... you get the picture. Throughout the quest of searching for solutions I evolved from being purely idealistic, and more often than not counter productive, to finding practical applications based on successful models that have actually been implemented and utilized around the world. That’s the whole point isn’t it? Not just to fight for “something” but to actually improve “something” for the greater good of mankind. (image/jpeg + 2 comments)

PEACE PEOPLE! Possabilities of Progressive Policies is Presently Powerfully Popular CultureJamCleveland 2004-01-03 2:57 PM

We are living in the past if we think the voting public is not ready to elect a progressive, populist President. This is not the past. Dean's way is precisely the WRONG approach. Heck, look what Dean did to Vermont - he took a 74% re-elect rate and whittled it down to 50.4% in 2000, before quitting in 2002 to "run for President" while the ranks of "progressives" and republicans grew in Vermont until no Democrat could get elected, and his own Lt. Governor lost to the Republican in 2002 - Vermont is governed by a Republican and NO POSITION DEAN EVER HELD IN VERMONT IS IN DEMOCRATIC HANDS NOW. (image/jpeg)
