My letter to Nancy Pelosi
91% of Americans do not want the US to engage in any military action in Syria. Over and over again, Americans have shown the way to their elected represented representatives and those representatives have been deaf to their voices.

Comments on the PBS documentary "Coal"
(The documentary “Coal” aired on PBS last week and is available now online here.) I was extremely disappointed in the content of this program.

What financial crisis?
The collapse of the world financial system is still in full swing.  Good information is thin on the ground because those most culpable are doing their best to hide the full implications of their crimes.

Pull Up Some Dust and Sit down
Every social movement has its music.  From the union movement  in the early part of the 20th Century to the 60’s revolution to Africa’s apartheid;  everywhere voices were raised together against the forces of injustice and misrule.  There are important reasons why music belongs in every revolution.
