Must see documentary: Sri Lanka's Kiling Fields
Submitted by TomJoad on 15. June 2011 - 11:36I just finished the Channel 4 documentary Sri Lanka's Killing Fields, which gives gruesome details regarding war crimes committed in the Sri Lankan civil war. The documentary only covers the last couple years of the decades long conflict, so check the wikipedia articles below for background information. The documentary is extremely graphic, so viewer discression is advised. The links I provided are temporary and will be down within the next few days.

Neighborhood Vegetables Garden Work Parties.
Submitted by Laurenceofberk on 14. June 2011 - 11:23In Berkeley and Oakland I have been organizing "Neighborhood Vegetables." Most weekends we have at least one "garden work party." Ten or fifteen people gather in someone's front or backyard garden and help them do whatever they need to grow food.
The Reagan Advantage
When the Righties squark about unemployment today the lack of memory of the Reagan years, just like they ignore Sen. Vitters escapades. Lets remember that Reagan had an economy that produced products, workers had Unions, Corporations where not considered People, Corporations actually PAID TAXES, and Automation had not been fully integrated into the manufacturing process. As a point of reference to those times the World did not have a its 10 Million user until 1990. Reagan's unemployment figures by 1984 had dropped from a high of 10.8 to 8.0% in time for the elections.
Voting law changes
Submitted by michaelb44 on 14. June 2011 - 10:56Thom, recent changes in voter laws in Republican controlled states will requirer goverment issued photo ID's and other obstacles, that make it more difficult if not impossible for some people to cast a ballot. In the case of seniors, many of whom don't have a state drivers license, may lose their voting rights. This is the the most reliable group of voters that Republicans can count on. Could this disenfranchasing of voters backfire and cost conservatives elections. What is your opinion?
