Moon,

Barry copy pasted a post on the Occupy Santa Rosa website. I just checked the site and there are a couple of comments. But it's not an active discussion on the website. I personally have...

Yes, Sonic.net is the best ISP in this area, by far. Been with them since 2001, which was my first opportunity to get my own internet access (before that I lived in the family "compound", where we...

The "official" informally consensed attendance count is 4,400. This was based on counting marchers as they passed a single point. I missed the march, so did others who also came around 3:30 p.m. or...

From what I can tell via the internet, Occupy Santa Rosa, is a support protest for Occupy Wall Street, coinciding with similar protests all over this country and the world.

I've been a...

There's an Occupy Santa Rosa scheduled for Saturday, October 15. I wondered why the organizers were waiting so long and was told it was the day called for, to occupy the planet, by the Occupy Wall...

Rosa Parks was an active member of a movement and a leader in a Civil Right organization prior to her famous action. (Or inaction?) Refusing to move was a strategy that had already been used a year...

When I first heard about Chemtrails in the late nineties, I spent many hours looking at everything I could find online. Since I'm not a Biochemist, Climatologist, Chemicals Engineer, Aerospace...

Edie,

Undocumented workers can't get insurance or registration because they can't get Driver's Licenses. Used to be, they could. Now, they can't. It's really that simple.

I support the bill. I met Michael Allen in the Living Wage Coalition of Sonoma County back in 2001 and he quickly impressed me with his intelligence, sense of humor and commitment to social justice....

Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale is a cautionary future dystopian fiction that describes very similar ideology and behavior. She published it in 1985.

Thank you for your understanding and clarity Hieronymos,

If it appears I was demanding names from Star Man, I was not clear. He only needs to describe the specific conflicts, what the positions...

So, SM, you have no specifics regarding internal conflict in the Green Party in the last eleven years. You talk about Cointelpro in the Sixties, which is well documented, The Church Commission, first...

The two sections, first where you ask me if I'm kidding. And the one where you ask "more sarcasm"? Were me channeling the tenor of the public debate. I was only in a small way, making a joke. Those...

You're preaching to one of the converted Hotspring44. The elitism I was criticizing wasn't the reverse joke, role reversal performance, of the piece. It was the clear, serious claim that one reason...

Just don't offer it for sale or breed it!!! If you do, you'll be in for it!

Why the slanted headline? The article starts with the well reported news that pro-Gadhafi fighters were killed, and ends with reports of rebels being killed by Gadhafi's forces, and the old, but...

Regarding Ron Paul becoming president. Don't worry about it. Ain't gonna happen. No way, no how. Too many defects, warts, skeletons. The Repubs will never nominate him and an independent or...

So S2T, according to you, and your "sources", Australian Socialists want to help Australia, but American (U.S. and apparently Latin American) Socialists want to destroy America and take it over and...

Someguy,

What you left out of your summary is that Australia is a Social Democracy with strong unions, a viable and powerful Labor Party, and a very deep and wide set of Social Services (expensive...

Barry,

I find the rest of your reply to S2T cogent, but the part I quoted above is demonstrably false. Deregulation started under Reagan, then Bush I, but took great strides forward under Clinton....

S2T,

If this financial apocalypse comes to pass, as summarized in the previous/original post, isn't it to the advantage of those who owe money in dollars? If I am correct, and I'm not certain that I am, I...

Good luck with your group Mykil. I hope you find what you're looking for. I find that I do, quite often.

As for me, I encounter sufficient paranormal activity here daily, to satisfy my Jones.

S2T,

Your claim is just as specious as when you first spouted it here on waccobb.net a few months ago. Just cause a Black African won a court case in Virginia to hold another Black African as a...

S2T,

I don't do line by line refutations of specific "facts" in screeds by wingnuts. I've learned over the years that that is a complete waste of time, and just leads down a tit for tat rabbit...

Dixon,

I haven't screamed anything.

The tenor of your posts in this thread, in regard to the issues raised here, is to deny, or to support others who deny, that there has been any proof there...

Patrick, Dixon,

You approach this matter as if it has somehow been proven that in no part of the incident in question Olembe was detained (albeit briefly, professionally and politely/respectfully,...
