North Korea

So, I was reading this article today about North Korea, and a particular piece really stuck out to me: A spokesman for the North Korean People’s Army released a statement earlier today saying the military has been “authorized to attack the American imperialists using smaller, lighter, and diversified” nuclear weapons. “We are ready any day, […]

A love note

To my progressives, liberals, radicals, and people seeking change, a love note: Why must we continue to look to other people/groups to make the changes we want to see happen?

Prop 37 confusion

I’m confused. I’m concerned. I’m thinking of moving to Colorado, where they passed some measures that actually make sense!

Barack Obama came into office promising "the most transparent administration ever" and pledging to protect whistleblowers.

Nature

Reblogged from How Do We Know?: If ever there was a loaded word, it's probably "love". But "nature" is at least a close second. In common speak, "nature" seems to mean "that which is not, or is not influenced, by man", which puts man at odds with nature. A rather strange concept, for a society […]
