Dead Wild Roses: Douglas Murray & Cenk Uygur – On the Hamas/Israel Conflict

Sorry for the incovenience of having to go to youtube to watch the happenings at the Oxford Union. It was quite a raucous affair. Compare and contrast with the lecture at Cambridge where students as opposed to radicals came out and a productive mostly civil debate and conversation resulted. The

Once and awhile Counterpunch surprises me with a bit of unvarnished factual reporting. I didn’t know that Functionalism was a think in International Relations – but what a great concept to make the world a more peaceable place. “Peace through pieces” was an important contribution to understanding mediating differences by

The gun culture in the United States is certainly a artifact to behold. Schools and communities are scenes of violent murderous shootings. The requisite furor about gun violence rises and falls with each new bloody occurrence. The theatre of caring about children and their safety played out in the

Growing up I used to watch MASH almost everyday. It was on right after the 6pm news broadcast. It would be hard these days to imagine a show that would remain on the air being subversive as MASH was.

No one likes talking about the corruption in OUR system, yet it is present and it is a festering problem that threatens the social fabric we all depend on. “Elections boil down to conflicts within the business community.” ( T. Ferguson) When you add together the Reagan deregulations, the
