Boy, I sure am happy for all those billionaires who made another couple billion dollars this week. If there was ever any FURTHER proof needed that capitalism is inherently evil comes the news that global stocks hit an all-time high yesterday. A new record! The financial rulers of this planet actually make more money when […]
Neoliberalism is an insidious form of class warfare. Just ask the middle class how they feel about their fragile economic state while the 1% keep amassing more and more wealth. Society is supposed to function to improve the lot of everyone, not just a tiny minority at the very top of the financial food-chain. I […]
NRA revisionist myth NUMBER ONE: Along with the ridiculous “good guy with a gun” concept, this is the dumbest argument put forth by the gun-humpers. Your collection of puny little pea-shooters doesn’t guarantee you will be protected from the state. They don’t need your guns. Their guns are bigger than yours: WAY bigger. The U.S. […]
A gun is a weapon of mass destruction; an invention of man created in our pathetic attempt to control nature and exert power over our fellow citizens. In America today, we have a plague of mass shootings carried out by deranged individuals with easy access to weapons which are intended to kill as many people […]
So here we have another self-loathing closeted gay man who, because he can’t deal with his own homosexual feelings, reacts violently to the realization. Like virtually the entire Republican Party, Omar Mateen was so ashamed of his sexual feelings and so filled with self-loathing that he felt the need to symbolically kill those urges by […]
Another one of my heroes is gone. Muhammad Ali was, if nothing else, one of the coolest guys on the planet. Super-intelligent, articulate – poetic even – and beautiful to look at. I still remember the Thrilla in Manila and the Rumble in the Jungle; the ‘Rope-a-dope’ and of course, Angelo Dundee. Even before he […]
Last month the International Monetary Fund issued a report admitting that neoliberalism – the economic philosophy which has driven Western capitalism for decades – has been a failure. The report, “Neoliberalism: Oversold?” strikes at the core of this evil ideology and echoes what critics of neoliberalism have been saying all along: instead of delivering economic […]
The Dome of the rock sits on the most controversial piece of land in the world. The Dome itself is situated on a disputed area in the middle of Jerusalem in the very center of Israel. Centuries of conflict have enveloped this tiny sanctuary. The Dome is at the center of a current, ongoing military and religious conflict. Just […]
The American Dream has become The American Nightmare for most people. One of the problems is that many of us can’t see – or aren’t old enough to remember – how much of that dream has slipped away over the past 50 years. Where to Invade Next? is filmmaker Michael Moore’s personal indictment of contemporary […]
In my younger days, I was a bit of a hot-head. I’m the first one to admit that I used to get angry about a lot of really dumb stuff – enraged, even. About pointless, meaningless crap. Several years ago I was given the nickname “The Rage” by one of my co-workers. I never got […]
