Who is going to profit off a properly implemented carbon tax? Yes, companies making green products will benefit as their products will become more competitively priced (ie reflecting their true value)... but what is the mysterious organization that will g … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/30/2008
Wow. The US propaganda machine is breathtaking. I didn't count, but I'd estimate 55 Americans, 20 Chinese with some others sprinkled in for a veneer of objectivity. (see comment)

First Time Ever: Canada Decides to Deport U.S War Deserters

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/15/2008
You are only looking at this through one lense - that which assumes that if the US decides something is OK, that means the rest of the world must agree with it. Unfortunately, the pre-emptive war of self-defense doctrine that was followed is illegal by … (see comment)

Uncle Sam's Fingers are All over the Canadian Copyright Bill

Comment in News (9 diggs, 4 replies) - on 06/25/2008
Remember - the most power we have in society is not our pathetic check-in-the-box-every-four-years, it's _how we choose to spend our money_. Don't support those behind this kind of shit. And don't support companies like Microsoft who are trying to help … (see comment)

This guy decided to build a flying machine. He put something together, which he thought looked pretty good. It had feathers on big long sticks, just like a bird. To launch it, he went up to the highest cliff around, got in and went down the ramp over the … (see comment)

As others have mentioned, Iceland has been doing this forever. And Sweden, I think has 1/3 of homes heated with geothermal heat pumps. If you want leadership in the world, look at Scandinavia (and Finland). They consistently rank tops in nearly every me … (see comment)

The Simple Life

Comment in News (9 diggs, 2 replies) - on 01/21/2008
The core of the issue, IMO, isn't about stuff you have or don't have. I don't think people spend enough time properly figuring out what they want from life. Then, use that as a razor to cut through all of the advertising and attempts to sell you stuff tha … (see comment)

School bans flags.

“Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever … (see comment)

Noam Chomsky Talks about Democracy’s Invisible Line

Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/14/2007
It depends on your definition of control. If you mean to force you to do whatever the powers-that-be want whenever they want, then yes, totalitarianism is more effective at that. However, the current system of control in "democracies" is much more effecti … (see comment)
