Condemnation of the Israeli Attack Upon Gaza.

http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/14193/ http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/14217/ http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/14194/ http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/14202/ Violence only begets violence. While both palestinians and israelis have the indivisual right to defend themselves. The retaliatory airstrikes by Israel, and the rocket attacks by Hamas, only serve to spawn an endless sequence of violence. The palestinians should try non-violent strategies of passive resistance, and the israelis should show self restraint in responding, and dealing, with terrorist actions. An eye for an eye and the world goes blind.

Police Label Which Cars Are Unlocked.


http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/index.cfm?sid=201679&sc=98 Oh thanks alot police. (sarcasm) Who is the head of this police force anyway, Inspector Clouseau? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Jacques_Clouseau This activity violates the publics right to privacy, not to mention security. What were the police thinking? With cops like these, who needs criminals?

The Communal Values of Kwanzaa


http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/index.shtml Kwanzaa is an african-american celebration. This most people know. But some do not realise the social teachings of this ethnic holiday. http://dartreview.com/issues/1.15.01/kwanzaa.html I feel that it is a good thing that black people are developing a sense of community, and equality, among other principles of Kwanzaa. Co-operative economics need not be aggressive, and/or oppressive. It could, and should, be voluntary, as well as humanitary.

Santa Claus is a Communist.


http://www.tursiops.cc/idhop/communism/santa.htm It's not just his suit that is red. Santa Claus epitimises the Gift economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy. He distributes items without monetary compensation, and his elves work without receiving wages. And even NORAD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norad is tracking his movements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NORAD_Tracks_Santa Season's Greetings/Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas, to all of my readers.

ShopRite Refuses to Make Birthday Cake For Boy Named Adolf Hitler Campbell.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28269290/ Stores should be able to show discretion in making such descisions. To refuse to serve certain people is there sovereign right as buisness owners. And it's not like they couldn't make up there own cake. I'm also afraid that this unfortunate boy will be mistreated, and/or ostracised, by other people as he grows up. Parents should also show some sound judgement in naming and raising there children.

Airborn Fungus Infects Church Volunteers.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/health/22lung.html If you ever get a fungal infection of any kind, make sure to avoid all sugar. Sugar feeds the fungus. Fungus damages the immune system. There are both allopathic and naturopathic treatments for fungal infections. There is fluconazole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluconazole, olive leaf extract, garlic, and acidophilus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidophilus. http://www.fungusfocus.com/fungus/findex.htm

Greeks Riot, After Teen Boy Is Shot By Police.

http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/1208/p06s02-wogn.html http://libcom.org/news/rioting-explodes-across-greece-08122008 http://libcom.org/news/athens-polytechnic-occupation-publishes-communique-09122008 I am glad that direct action is being taken against the corrupt government of Greece. However I would urge passive resistance, rather than violent uprisings, if at all possible. Non-violence worked in India, against the British. And it should be tryed as a first resort. Governments should not be allowed to get away with killing there own people. But violence begets violence. So all efforts should be taken to prevent the turmoil from escalating. I wish the people of Greece the best of luck this Holiday season.

Indian Muslims Rally Against Terrorism.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/world/asia/08muslims.html It is a refreshing relief to see people of faith stand up against sectarian violence. The Islamists do not represent muslims, any more than the dominionists charecterise Christianity, or hindutva Hinduism.

Michael Moore Calls For Public Ownership Of Auto Industry.

If you've been reading my blog before, you'd know that I support the ideas of participatory economics,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parecon and worker's self managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers%27_self-management, on a purely voluntary and private co-operative basis. I feel therefore that the workers themselves, instead of the government, should be given shares of the company, and then be able therefore to share the profits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_sharing Here is what Michael Moore proposes however. http://www.alternet.org/workplace/110051/michael_moore%3A_save_the_auto_industry_and_kick_its_ceos_to_the_curb/ As I've mentioned before, I do feel that socialization is perferable to subsidization. However, I also feel that free-market private enterprise, without government involvement, is better yet.

Headaches And Backaches Might be caused By Ill Fitting Bra.

http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/110063/headache_and_indigestion_--_caused_by_your_bra/?page=1 Now being male, this is not the reason for my health problems. Trust me, I'm not fat enough to wear a bra. But some women, maybe out of vanity, and or ignorance, are not wearing properly fitting bras. And therefore they do not have good posture. This puts a strain on the spinal cord. And as any chiropractor will tell you, spinal cord problems can cause many different health problems. So remember ladies, check and see if your breasts are getting good support from your bra.

Natalie Maines Is Sued For Defamation.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28061353/ Natalie Maines was recently named in a lawsuit, because she suggested that evidence might indicate that the "West Memphis Three" http://www.wm3.org/splash.php are innocent of killing three children, and that instead one of the children's step-father might have done it. The Memphis Three are three young men who are thought to have fallen under suspicion because of there interest in paganism and heavy metal music. However I would note that pagans tend to believe that it's wrong to harm other people. Both christians and muslims however have been known to engage in "honor killings", of those who are regarded as being at odds with the faith, and/or parental authority. So I'd be more inclined to think that a fanatical christian/muslim cultist killed these children than neo-pagans. Eventhough some idolotors, like the thugee, have historicly been know to offer up humans as blood sacrifices to there deities. So you just never know. Hopefuly all of the facts will be known, and justice will be done in this case. And I also feel that people should be allowed to speak freely about there feelings regarding certain situations. I mean what are people afraid of? If the step-father did not do it, he should have nothing to fear. However, if he did kill his step-children, for whatever reason, the truth should come out regardless.
