Sorry! ... The Reply Function is not working on that thread or several others. (Workerbee! :)
so.... this is not a facetious title or question.
What is it precisely that the police do? I mean, what _good_ benefit or even basic function do they -- and even 'criminal justice' as a profession in general -- provide our country(ies) / society(ies) ? as a private citizen I am simply baffled as to what earthly purpose the police serve, in both my daily life and this day & age. I have NEVER, _EVER_ had a need to 'call the police' ("on someone" or for my own "benefit" / protection). Then again, I may not be rich enough to have experienced such "need"...
WASHINGTON (May 13, 2010) -- Hundreds of community groups and local residents from across the country urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this week to strengthen local democracy, media diversity and public safety by supporting the nation's largest network of community-based media organizations -- Public, Educational and Government (PEG) Access cable TV centers.
For Justice,Peace and *Laughter, Joe Walsh-Lone Vet Individuals for Justice Veterans Against Torture * Why laughter?? Because without it I would have gone insane years ago. Sen. ** harry reid must be replaced as Majority Leader, call me when you agree or just go away! An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching. Mohandas Gandhi Thoreau may have also brooded over the reaction of Emerson, who criticized the imprisonment as pointless. According to some accounts, Emerson visited Thoreau in jail and asked, "Henry, what are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied, "Waldo, the question is what are you doing out there?"

The State Street 29 is a group of individuals who were arrested on the night of April 8th, 2010. They were arrested at a march consisting of over 60 people that took place in downtown Olympia. The march was done in solidarity with the West Coast Days of Action against State Violence to draw attention to the fact that police everywhere are perpetuating and fostering fear among our communities. This march was done in solidarity with Portland, in response to the killing of Jackie Dale Collins. All funds will go to the State Street 29 Support Committee <

Reagan announced the state was "the problem" for the functioning of the economy. State action could not solve economic problems. The latest reality of economic crises thoroughly destroyed the neoclassical theses. The crisis showed its ideological limitation and conditionality.

1 police officer shot, 1 civilian dead!
Taxes, more than any other issue is what drives the Tea Party movement. Thus those philosophical arguments related to taxation and the resulting size of government constitute the very essence of the rationale for the movement's existence. How then will the movement react and adapt to the latest findings of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which reveal the movement's essential positions to be clearly at odds with empirical facts?
Kagan, acting as Obama's Solicitor General, argued that the case should not be heard even if evidence proved that the Saudis helped underwrite al Qaeda, because it would interfere with US foreign policy with the oil-rich nation.

The term "social" goes through a fundamental change of meaning. Earlier "social" described an obligation of society to its members. Today the little word "social" stands for the caring duty of members of society toward the capitalist mega-machine. The brave new market economy only recognizes what can be bought and sold as socially valid.

In the struggle over the notorious anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, anti-working class law SB 1070, a person might be tempted to see this as a conflict that plays out among the elites of Arizona politics: legislators, governors, sheriffs, newspaper editors, judges, lawyers, and nonprofits. This view would be understandable, but wrong. The real battle is at the grassroots.
The project was inspired by a Democracy Now segment exposing the US helicopter footage of the 2007 killings in New Baghdad, "Collateral Murder."
A quick glance around the globe reveals a ruined international economy, wars and more wars in the works, and revolutionary movements aplenty — all connected phenomena. No, the apocalypse is not coming; but the international economic system currently used to arrange the social order is crumbling, taking everyone down with it.
The global capitalist system is in far worse shape than most people realize: it may only take the tiny economy of Greece to go bankrupt to break this camel's back — and finally the word "recession" will be antiquated and "depression" will be in vogue.
"The City Club Friday Forum topic for May 14th is 'Nuclear Power in a Carbon-Regulated World'. Nuclear power generation is attracting renewed attention worldwide. Developing nations such as China and India are focusing on nuclear power in their quest for new sources of energy." (From City Club Website)

The previous administration's role in the events of 9-11 must be examined.
Do all you can to stop the Port of Portland Commission deciding Wed., May 12th to outsource all our national security, jobs, environmental protections, local and regional economy, and local safety/survival to a fascist, anti-worker, anti-environment, Philipines company,
International Container Terminal Services Inc., that works with the military's genocide and CIA attacks on democratic, local-rule activists, and profited from the earthquakes/tsunami, just like the expected Portland earthquakes. Do not allow Terminal 6 to be controlled by foreign corporatists who are not accountable to and do not care about our state and the state of our survival.

This is a repost talking about world overpopulation I thaught it was well done.
The Spartacist League/U.S. and the International Communist League it leads are in deep political trouble. On April 27, the International Executive Committee of the ICL issued a statement ?Repudiating Our Position on Haiti Earthquake,? headlined ?A Capitulation to U.S. Imperialism.? After three months of ?zealous apologies for the U.S. imperialist military intervention? in the name of humanitarian aid, the ICL suddenly declared that this was a fundamental ?betrayal? and the Internationalist Group had been right all along in demanding U.S./U.N. troops out. While agreeing with the IG?s characterization of the ICL?s policy as ?social-imperialist? and calling for a ?savage indictment? of its own line, the ICL?s explanation for this betrayal ? failure to have a formal discussion ? doesn?t answer how an entire organization which proclaims itself revolutionary Marxist and Trotskyist could swallow this support for imperialism for months. Its origins can be found in years of capitulation to U.S. imperialism, notably by abandoning the call for its defeat in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The Open Letter by the Internationalist Group urges those in the ICL who do not wish to continue gyrating in centrist confusion to examine the real record of their organization?s adaptations and capitulations to ?its own? bourgeoisie over the past years.

one wonders if the same people are recruiting and vetting the
