"Wooldridge and Stamper are featured speakers for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a relatively new but powerfully motivated group of current and former police officers, judges, prosecutors, and politicians who have come out against America's failed war on drugs. ... These aren't stoners. They're former public servants, and many risked their lives for a cause they now say is mistaken. That's powerful stuff. When a guy tells you he regrets what he's done for most of his career -- and what he could well have died for -- his words take on a unique credibility and urgency."

"Just thinking of what Joseph Frederick did makes me chuckle. It was a silly stunt that would have been laughed off by anyone with a trace of a funny bone. But rather than enjoy or tolerate the joke, school officials harshly punished him. And so it became a federal case - one about to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court."

"The character of politicians or the motives of lobbyists aren't the important issues. The issue is that Representatives and Senators should be held account for their actions, and the people are entitled to the tools and procedural reforms to make that possible."

"During the Vietnam War, anti-war troops had no legal protection against expressing their views and were forced to do so through underground newspapers, said David Cortwright, one of the day’s speakers. Cortwright is a former soldier who served in Vietnam and wrote a book about that era’s military resistance, 'Soldiers in Revolt.' But while the Internet has replaced those underground papers and service members enjoy the limited protections of DoD directives, Cortwright said, those “in uniform” who speak out must still endure critics who would call them unpatriotic. Or, worse, cowards."

"The cautionary tale of Matthew Bandy is burning up the Internet, especially tech sites. Until recently, the 16-year-old Arizona boy faced life imprisonment for possessing child pornography; each of the nine images on his computer carried a possible 10-year sentence. Matt adamantly denied the charge, although he admitted visiting adult sites. The caution: Your computer could be storing and distributing child pornography without your knowledge. It could be what is called 'a zombie.' A virus, worm or 'bot' may have almost invisibly infected your operating system, perhaps when you opened an email attachment or clicked on the “wrong” (not necessarily adult) website."

"Call me a conspiracy realist, but I doubt that 'safe and effective' had much to do with the FDA deciding to ban stevia. Nothing drives this point home better than this little tidbit: the FDA initially labeled stevia as an 'unsafe food additive' after an anonymous complaint. (Yes, an anonymous complaint!) You simply cannot make this stuff up. But stevia has been used by other cultures for thousands of years with no ill effects. Yes, thousands of years."

"Chukhadzhyan was placed under arrest for 'disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and aggravated assault on Officer Carlson.' How an unarmed man commit 'aggravated assault' on a heavily armed individual – who summons his buddy to help him out – is a question that could be profitably pondered by people not hopelessly held hostage by statist assumptions."

"What is ominous about the petition is how broadly the Justice Department views the government's power to tax. These views are hardly consistent with limited government and low taxes. Unfortunately, the Department has a long line of cases to back up its position. This is blunt notice to anyone who thinks the government has no legal authority to tax wages and other income."

"The failure of politics reveals itself in nearly every instance of conflict in human affairs, though war and battle are the most visible and almost the most dehumanizing of these conflicts. The burnt-out shells of Nagasaki and Hiroshima that laid smoldering in the wake of nuclear immolation are testament to the fact that humanity’s very survival as a species rests on the abolition of war. And the abolition of war rests on the abolition of the maker of war: nothing less than the abolition of States will lead to 'perpetual peace.' The alternative is paragraphs of war broken up by the occasional punctuation of the armistice."

"'What are you, then?' 'I am an anarchist.' 'Oh! I understand you; you speak satirically. This is a hit at the government.' 'By no means. I have just given you my serious and well-considered profession of faith. Although a firm friend of order, I am (in the full force of the term) an anarchist. Listen to me....'"

"We are convinced of the necessity of the state to keep the unworthy in line and to manage their affairs down to the most niggling detail. That this impairs our own freedom does not occur to us because we have already surrendered it voluntarily like well trained domesticated animals. We love the leash and take delight in the praise of our masters. We enjoy our relatively better appointed homes and the other rewards of our relative prosperity and think we are the right kind of people."

"Hardyville would heal. Hardyville would be okay after some fashion. But it would never be quite the same, and we all knew that. There were tensions and factions never seen before. Values clashing. Troubles lurking. But for the moment we were united in common humanity and a conviction that, no matter what we might disagree on, not one of us would ever again permit a thing like what happened that night at the Goodins' house. Never. Not ever. Civilized people simply don't. "

"More and more people are saying something to that effect. Micro$oft’s crooked ways are causing more people to switch to Linux, including people who would rather not switch. Here are some of the things I’ve stumbled upon these last couple of days, some of which you may already be familiar with." [ERev Editor's note: I had been fooling around with Kubuntu 6.10 from a live CD for months. Now it runs resident on a separate machine next to the one on which I'm putting this together. I should be completely M$FT free before long. I really like KDE. Korundum/QtRuby sounds promising !!! TE]

"Light from the Sun is arguably the ultimate form of renewable energy, but the high upfront cost of installing solar panels discourages many consumers from capturing their own power. A renewable energy company called Citizenre is looking to change that with an innovative business model that allows homeowners to rent the panels, taking the startup costs off their hands."

"According to Pohoresky, families who choose homebirth come from a variety of socioeconomic, cultural and religious backgrounds. 'Most families are looking for an experience where they have more involvement in their decisions and a familiar atmosphere.' Moms and families have more control over many of the details of a home birth. 'Decisions are made by the mother and family of the many different options for birth, which at home can also include water birth'." [Improves to this level from a slow start.]

"According to Frances Saunders, in her well-documented book, 'The CIA and the Cultural Cold War,' the CIA financed and groomed the avant-garde art movement from which abstract expressionism, performance art and the other freak shows of the art world emerged. In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, the Agency wanted to move the center of art away from the social realism of European artists, which threatened the status quo with its powerful, realistic depictions of the human condition."

"You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was some new restriction on free speech in Communist China. But it isn't. The U.S. Government wants to force bloggers and online grassroots activists to register and regularly report their activities to Congress in the latest astounding attack on the internet and the First Amendment."

"The world's thirteen largest oil and gas firms, for example, are either partially or wholly nationalized through 'state-owned firms through which governments retain profits from oil production.' Exxon, the world's largest private oil company, comes in at number 14 on that list."

"Some of the key 'evidence' linking Saddam and Al Qaeda was generated by torture. The fact that the 'confession' later turned out to be false did nothing to resurrect the scores of thousands of people who have been killed in Iraq since the U.S. invaded. ... Cole explains that 'Bush needs torture … to generate false information that exaggerates the threat to his regime, so as to justify repression'."

[These comments came with Garry's Loose Cannon e-mail] "Some articles just write themselves. I've never encountered such an article. However, some articles are written by many other people and then those many articles are excerpted and strung together by someone too lazy to write his/her own article and the result might be something like an 'original' article appearing on a website under the title of 'Too late to Barr the door.' That way, while the article didn't write itself, all the little cuts and snips and pieces add up to an article that speaks for itself, and very little additional comment needs be added." [I think Garry put that perfectly.]
http://www.freecannon.com/BarrTheDoor.htm
"So which is it? Is Iraq a place the United States can’t afford to leave? Or is leaving a threat credible enough to force al-Maliki to shape up? There’s a third possibility: Bush may practice Orwellian doublethink, the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at once, never letting himself see that both can’t be true."
http://fff.org/comment/com0701d.asp
"The argument for this new war – buttressed with 'facts' that as usual went unchallenged by the corporate scribes – is actually stronger and cleaner than the collection of conflicting mendacities that led to the invasion of Iraq. It is vain to hope that the Democrats, who have themselves demonized Iran with such ferocity, will stand against the call for the new war when it comes, in the terms now being established by the Administration."

"What the hell are Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi waiting for? What do Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have to say? The front-runner in the other party, John McCain, was so loud in his denunciation of the 'cruel, inhuman, and degrading' punishment of detainees. But he later said he was very pleased to vote for the Military Commissions Act and its denial of habeas rights to those same people."

"Linux, through the GPL is perfectly designed to limit the natural temptation to abuse power by decentralizing every step of production, use, possession, and ownership. Such a model of organization can in no meaningful way be compared to the centralism that was necessary to any Marxist or Mercantilist state or empire. If you, dear reader, can and know how to download and burn a 700 MB file to CDROM, then you likely have all you computer software you need to take one important decentralist step to a freer world."

"Software companies are just beginning to realize that miserly protection of software code is not always as lucrative as giving it away and participating in certain open-source software practices instead. Open-source software -- code that is available for use or modification at no charge -- is growing in popularity among software companies. IBM, Sun Microsystems and other big names in the software niche all have some sort of open-source product offering."

"Americans who received most of their political information online (15 percent) has doubled since the previous midterm election in 2002. And almost a third of the public -- 31 percent -- used the Internet during the 2006 campaign to get political news and discuss the election through e-mail."

“What gives birth to a quest? Is it something within an individual—a yearning that offers no peace until it’s satisfied? Or does some stimulus so deeply insinuate itself into one’s imagination that it drives one to learn or experience more?”
http://endervidualism.com/salon/books/roberts.htm
"The state's R&D subsidies, its subsidies for substituting capital for labor, its subsidies to technical education, its patent system--all of them have had a massive distorting effect in promoting skill- and capital-intensive forms of production. And in the process, they have promoted the deskilling of blue collar labor, the shifting of control over production work from the shop floor to white collar hierarchies, technological unemployment, and a two-tier job market."
http://mutualist.blogspot.com/2007/01/you-dont-get-to-be-pharoah-by-working.html
"The Democrats' eagerness to cut interest rates on student loans reflects a time-honored Washington maxim: If it's good, it should be subsidized. In this case, as in most others, the truth is just the opposite: If it's good, there's no need to subsidize it. ... Different types of schools respond differently to increases in subsidies, and price hikes can take several forms, including cuts in state funding and internal aid as well as increases in the official tuition. But the general effect is pretty clear: When someone else is paying part of the tab, consumers do not worry as much about the cost, so the cost tends to be higher."

"The crucial element is the complex web of barriers that hurt Latin America’s ability to compete, creating all sorts of disincentives for making more efficient use of technology and increasing productivity. Some of these barriers relate to the outside world—tariffs, quotas, multiple exchange rates and excessive regulations against foreign producers. Other obstacles are domestic—government-owned enterprises, barriers to entry into certain industries, and inefficient financial systems."
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1893
"Those who disparage the ideas of deregulation and limited government claim that we need a large activist government to reign in the excesses of capitalism. Such persons trust government bureaucrats to enforce regulations in a responsible manner. The actual record of big government indicates that such trust in government is unfounded."
http://www.mises.org/story/2445
"It is regrettable in any event for people to suffer under the weight of a state and its military apparatus, but the present arrangement — a system of military-economic fascism as instantiated in the United States by the MICC — is worse than full-fledged military-economic socialism. In the latter, the people are oppressed, because they are taxed, conscripted, and regimented, but they are not co-opted and corrupted by joining forces with their rapacious rulers; a clear line separates them from the predators on the 'dark side'."

"[Question] Why do some believe that there is a human instinct for war and that it's inherent human nature to kill? [Zinn answers] It is an easy explanation. And it is useful for governments because it turns people away from examining the imperial motives of governments."

"Here is the victory scenario: Bush and Cheney will claim that their air attack on Iran succeeded in destroying Iran’s (non-existent) nuclear weapons program. The victory claimed by the Bush Regime and the propagandistic US media will 'make America safe from nuclear attack.' This will restore Bush’s popularity and move the US back to a 50-50 political split in time for Karl Rove to steal the 2008 election with the fraudulent electronic voting machines built and programmed by Republican operatives."

"Remember oil? That thing we didn’t go to war in Iraq for? Now with his war under attack, even President George W. Bush has gone public, telling reporters last August, '[a] failed Iraq … would give the terrorists and extremists an additional tool besides safe haven, and that is revenues from oil sales.' Of course, Bush not only wants to keep oil out of his enemies’ hands, he also wants to put it into the hands of his friends."

"His core fan base isn't easy to categorize either: It includes hackers, futurists, science-fiction enthusiasts, Joyceans, Poundians, Forteans, Discordians, anarchists, libertarians, anarcho-libertarians, devotees of psychedelic drugs, mystics who sound like scientists, scientists who sound like mystics, people who believe in vast secret conspiracies, people who don't believe in vast secret conspiracies but have a sense of humor about them, people who aren't sure whether they believe in vast secret conspiracies, humanist psychologists, pookaphiles, and people who weren't any of the above until they randomly happened on one of his books like a glass of tomato juice spiked with some unpredictable psychedelic compound."

"Having studied economics and monetary history and having experienced the ravages of inflation firsthand with the Continental currency, they decided to establish a monetary system based on gold and silver coin rather than paper money. They knew that while the government could still debase the currency by 'clipping' a bit of each gold coin it received before putting the coins back into circulation — a process of plunder that governments used before the printing press was invented — that was a relatively small danger, especially compared with paper money, which could be expanded at will through the printing press.

"Andy led a small group of curmudgeons in North Central Connnecticut in the 1970s and 80s, called 'Constitutional Revival.' He published a newsletter, and an annotated edition of the US Constitution--of which a dog-eared copy lies on my desk as I write--and lectured upon it wherever he could get an invitation. Everything I know about that document, I learned at his feet. He fulfilled his life's mission to demonstrate in its favor at every law school in the country; quite often, the students (never the faculty!) invited him inside to present his views and take questions. "

"Yellow journalism was a common tactic by those writing articles on cannabis to demonize the substance and ultimately influence public policy prior to the plant’s criminalization. Newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst filled his newspapers with racist and sexist appeals and used other assorted dirty tactics to demonize cannabis, a plant that posed a major threat to the future profitability of his timber and paper manufacturing endeavors."
"It now looks as if the Bush administration may have realized that an out-of-the-blue, Pearl Harbor-style air and missile attack on Iran's nuclear facilities is politically infeasible. Instead, the White House will order a series of small 'border incidents,' pinpricks similar to last week's raid on an Iranian mission in Kurdistan, intended to provoke Iranian retaliation. That retaliation will then be presented as an Iranian attack on forces, with the air raids on Iranian nuclear targets called 'retaliation.' Fabricated border incidents have a long history as casus belli; perhaps the Bushies can dress some German soldiers up in Polish uniforms."

"Although President Bush’s escalation of the Iraq War has been opposed by a substantial majority of the American people, many generals, the Iraq Study Group, and most Democrats and some Republicans in Congress, the most important opposition may come from Iraqis."

"When did the truth become an unspeakably radical position? At a time when what we need most is frank and honest discussion about the imperialist role the United States plays in the nightmare of global violence and militarization, what we see instead is an effort on the part of the antiwar movement to play politics with language."
http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Jan07/Mowrey17.htm
"Paralleling Iranians' favorable opinions of Americans as a people, however, is their unified opposition to any US government intervention in their country. This directly contradicts what Vice President Cheney and others believe – that if the US were to attack, the population would rise up to help the Americans fight the Iranian regime. Judging from my experience, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, US intervention seems to be the only issue that will unite most Iranians with the Islamic regime."

"Niemoller broke very early with the Nazis. In 1933, he organized the Pastor’s Emergency League to protect Lutheran pastors from the police. In 1934, he was one of the leading organizers at the Barmen Synod, which produced the theological basis for the Confessing Church, which despite its persecution became an enduring symbol of German resistance to Hitler."

"Critics have been comparing Children of Men to Blade Runner, to 1984, even to The Road Warrior. OK, fine. Compare away. But I think such comparisons only lead to false expectations about Children of Men. It stands absolutely alone, unlike almost any other movie I’ve ever seen, on a political level, on an action level, and on an emotional level. It is — dare I say it? — epic."

"I ask you this: Suppose I went pub-crawling in London and stumbled on an unknown play by Shakespeare, the equal of Lear and unquestionably genuine. Maybe Shakespeare had left his driver’s license with it. Suppose further that I sent it to New York, and to the English department at Harvard (which these days might or might not have heard of Shakespeare) and told them that it was my senior essay in creative writing at Texas A&M. Are you sufficiently hallucinatory to expect an explosion of appreciation?"

“To the extent that someone believes that individual liberty is paramount, that government is to be distrusted under all circumstances, that the Bill of Rights is the most important part of the constitution, that government has to be kept small, that the private sector should largely be left untrammeled, that trade should be free, the tax burden low, and that war should be defensive, that person fits within libertarian parameters.”

"Our right to shut down our own bodies and brains is a logical extension of the principles of the Enlightenment, and it fits neatly with personal liberties relating to mind-altering substances, consensual sex, birth control, elective surgery, and (surely soon to be an arena of political conflict) genetic performance enhancement. Despite all the ink spilled on Schiavo’s unconscious body, the right-to-die movement has every reason to focus its energy on the rights of those who are still uncontroversially competent to decide for themselves. After all, persistent vegetative states are rare; the merely terminally ill we have in relative abundance."

"Less than 5 percent of all Internet users are presently consuming more than 50 percent of all bandwidth. Broadband ISPs hate these super users and would like to find ways to isolate or otherwise reject them. It's BitTorrent -- not Yahoo or Google -- that has been the target of the anti-net neutrality trash talk from telcos and cable companies. But the fact is that rather than being an anomaly, these are simply early adopters and we'll all soon follow in their footsteps. And when that happens, there won't be enough bandwidth to support what we want to do from any centralized perspective. A single data center, no matter how large, won't be enough. Google is just the first large player to recognize this fact as their building program proves."

"[T]hese architects ... recognized that their wholesale militarization of American policy and society would be a tough sell to voters who might wistfully prefer the Jeffersonian pursuit of happiness to global empire. Thus the September 2000 document acknowledged that the 'revolutionary' changes it envisaged could take decades to bring about – unless, of course, the nation was struck by what PNAC called 'some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.' ... The war in Iraq was launched solely to serve the political ambitions, personal fortunes and radical ideologies of a small group of American elitists (and the delusions of grandeur of its little handmaiden in the UK). It had no larger strategic benefit or moral purpose, despite all the ever-shifting rhetoric to the contrary. "

"Mr. Bush did not betray Mr. Olbermann; Mr. Olbermann betrayed Mr. Olbermann. Of course he is certainly not alone in this. We most all do this to one extent or another (else how could I recognize it so well?). But blaming our failings on others is but to continue the pathology. Until we stand up and shoulder our own responsibilities for our lives, choices, and actions, we will get exactly what we deserve: being treated as children."

"You see, I used to say that Microsoft was guilty only of 'doing good business.' Then I realized that using the State to bludgeon competitors and abusing copyright is only 'good business' in that crooked state-capitalist sense, and not 'good business' in that sense describing noble, upright, honest entrepreneurship. A state-capitalist is only a 'good businessman' if money, privilege, and power are taken to be the ultimate standard of judgment without regard to ethical practices."
