Massey Customer Campaign-Mirant Energy Coal Warrior 2005-06-07 5:21 PM
Mirant Energy(Formerly Southern Energy), now owns most of the generators PEPCO used to own. They have proven to be a dirty and aggressively "pro-coal" company. THEY WILL NOT DISCUSS THEIR SOURCE OF COAL-only that CSX and Conrail ship it! They act like they've got something to hide, and in coal there is but one skeleton in the closet dependant on the source of the coal: MTR MINING!. As a result, it is reasonable to suspect that they have made a number of purchases from Massey Energy-the company responsible for some of the worst MTR mining abuses! (text/plain)

May Day Versus Loyalty Day Mary La Rosa 2005-06-07 3:49 PM
May Day versus McCarthy era like "Loyalty Day" opened a UN Conference against Nuclear Weapons that seemed doomed by ambiguities and lack of reportage from its very start?¦ including vague US intentions towards peace contrasted by recent trends towards a nuclearised weapons program that supports pre emptive strikes. Meanwhile, Israel demanding Iran halt its nuclear weapons production is still vague about its possession of nuclear weapons and adds to its crimes against humanity in the Occupied Territories by dumping nuclear production waste on someone else's homeland (text/plain)

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Archie Kennedy 2005-06-06 11:35 AM
Unfortunately, the mindset and the mass media fall heavily under the spell of the wolves that prey upon the innocent. Roy the Wolf terrorized Cape Bretoners in the 1920's and now Paul the Wolf is doing the same thing on a much larger scale. (text/plain)

Why Such Drastic Changes Sought by Neo-cons? D. Burbeck 2005-05-25 7:50 PM
