» Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers... We the People are Setting the Table Now  [ By Cindy Sheehan]  We the people put the Democrats back into power because we want to see a change in this country and a rejection of politics as usual. We want politics as unusual. We want to see the issue of impeachment and a speedy and safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq de­ politicized and brought into the realm of "right and wrong" where these issues belong, not "right and left."

» Milton Lost: Can We Regain Paradise?...I have completed my latest appeal to reason and humanity. I dedicated this piece to the victims of the brutal economic policies inspired by Milton Friedman's perverse mind.
In my essay, I assert that the poor and working class need to unify to overcome Corporatism, predatory Capitalism, and the criminal class. I remind readers that despite the false dichotomy that has been etched into our cerebrums, there are alternatives that lie between the two extremes of collectivist Communism and individualistic Capitalism (i.e. Distributism). Enumerating 25 examples of significant psychological/structural barriers to evoking significant change in our malevolent system (I wanted to give readers some objectives to target), I ended the piece on a hopeful note by concluding that we have it within our power to end plutocratic rule through widespread prolonged strikes and boycotts.
