Magazines, Politics The Thresher
Flailing at Current Events: For the moment, the only realistic goal seems to be to preserve the freedom to dissent, to question authority, to express even a bit of skepticism. In the words of George Clinton (the only Clinton that matters): "Think. It ain�t illegal yet."

(Bits and pieces of gooey, thought-provoking verbiage, from social auteur/iconoclast R.U. Sirius' last offline magazine. (b/w American Samizdat)) « 3:29:46 PM »    

Racism, Government Research on the prison industrial complex (PrisonSucks.com)
South Africa under Apartheid was internationally condemned as a racist society.

South Africa under apartheid (1993)
Black adult men in prison: 851 per 100,000

U.S. under George Bush (2001)
Black adult men in prison: 7,226 per 100,000

What does it mean that the leader of the "free world" locks up its Black men at a rate 8.4 times higher than the most openly racist country in the world?

(These statistics are so staggering they're almost impossible to believe. Download a one-page PDF of those stats. When people tell you race relations are getting better in America, show them the numbers, because the numbers don't lie. ) « 10:24:46 AM »    

Weblogs, Internet audblog
audblog is a service that provides bloggers with the ability to post audio to their blogs from any phone. At the end of the trial sign up we will provide you with the telephone number...all you have to do is call the number and the world hears you. Use it to make a difference ... use it to make your voice be heard.

(This is the brainchild of Noah Glass, who I've met, and partied with, along with his gal Sonja, through Marc. There have been plenty of ideas for adding sound to weblogs before, but the complexity of recording and posting audio to the web has always been the dealbreaker. audblog proposes to address that problem by, literally, letting you phone in your posts. ) « 10:11:46 AM »
