Dead Wild Roses: Dear Anti-Feminists…

   Brilliant repost straight from DAMMIT JANET! – One internetz for those folks over there, stat!   “If you are an anti-feminist woman and you vote — even for candidates who’d stop that nonsense in a nanosecond — you didn’t build that. If you are an anti-feminist woman and you

Dead Wild Roses: The Preservation of Life – AKA Gun Control.

   The media is responsible for the people’s erroneous view about guns and violence in society.   Good work by CNN to get some facts and information into the debate. “The good news is that as America becomes safer, fewer and fewer Americans feel the need for a weapon. The overall

Dead Wild Roses: Teachers Unions – Good For Students and For Education

   I’ve been around the mulberry bush a couple of times about teachers and unions.  It’s nice when someone puts a piece together that concisely answers the usual bally-hoo about how bad unions are and how things would be fixed if there was just more free market, because more competition

Dead Wild Roses: Abortion Worldwide – What the Anti-Choicers deny and don’t want you to know.

Need fetus porn and bullshit arguments? Look up your local, if you’re unlucky, pro-life chapter.  This video illustrates the basic lie that hovers below the surface of much of pro-life land.  Being pro-life is *not* about preserving life it is about removing choice from women, thus in reality anti-choice is

Dead Wild Roses: Well, Feminism Isn’t Over Yet – Who Knew?

Dead Wild Roses: The Course is Stayed – Win an Election, lose the Planet.

Political theatre harms us all.  Issues that are important to public are marginalized while supposedly “important” issues take the spotlight.  (Yes, you women, under the bus with you stat!) Noam Chomsky summarizes what elections have become in the US – “Elections are run by the public relations industry. Its primary
