- Steve Weissman: Tibet and the Games Nations Play
  Posted by Jeff from Truth Out
  "The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese Constitution lists Tibet among other areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China," the State Department declared in 1943. "This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of these claims."

- George W Bush Sewage Plant In S.F., With Your HELP
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5
  To dishonor George W. Bush, the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is changing the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. The group would like to rename the facility to the "George W Bush Sewage Plant." Write In! If we can't get the overdue rightful impeachment or immediate war crimes tribunals this is a helpful start.

- Howard Zinn: The End of Empire? | ForeignPolicy | AlterNet
  Posted by Damianmann from Alternet
  In Iraq, in Afghanistan, and at home, the position of the globe's "sole superpower" is visibly fraying. The country that was once proclaimed an "empire lite" has proven increasingly light-headed. The country once hailed as a power greater than that of imperial Rome or imperial Britain, a dominating force beyond anything ever seen on the planet, now can't seem to make a move in its own interest that isn't a disaster. The Iraq government's recent offensive in Basra is but the latest example with -- we can be sure -- more to come.

- Race and the Social Contract
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  Globalization presents the United States with an enormous challenge. Rising to the test will require big investments in the public good — from infrastructure to education to a safety net protecting those most vulnerable to change. Americans must once again show their ability to transcend group interests for a common national cause.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Vote for ( ) - THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

There are a lot of major issues that haven’t been addressed this time around. It’s not even disapointing anymore. It’s so typical and to be expected that it doesn’t even affect me any longer

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.
That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…
US fellows: W A K E U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!
