If you between 18 and 25, then you should really get the fuck out of the USA now. Go to Canada.
Better gone than die for Bush.
Is it possible for the US government to be any more balatant about their intentions?
This internal memo clearly shows that the Wolfowitze assumptions are fucked. The idea of sealing the borders will stop nothing. The fact that local's are taking out M1 Bradley tanks, e.g. the best USA has, shows that the USA has already lost the war.

A Selective Service Local Board is a group of five citizen volunteers whose mission, upon a draft, will be to decide who among the registrants in their community will receive deferments, postponements, or exemption from military service based on the individual registrant's circumstances and beliefs.
Modern conservationists call this wild country "the American Serengeti." But unlike the African Serengeti, Montana's Rocky Mountain Front, a 100-mile stretch of glacier-sculpted peaks and valleys held by the US Forest Service and the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has only temporary protection against oil and gas drilling. The Bush administration has targeted the Rocky Mountain Front, along with the ANWR, for oil and gas exploration. Energy firms want to extract gas through existing and new leases on BLM and US Forest lands. If approved, drilling could begin by 2005.
"A quiet revolution is taking place in US politics. By the time it's over, the integrity of elections will be in the unchallenged, unscrutinised control of a few large and pro-Republican corporations."

We started from the hope: If Nicaragua won, El Salvador will win.. The horizon was clear and open.. The consequence of the globalization of the free market reduce us to silence. Still I will not surrender to pessimism since that means dying."

Thank god I have the internet, how else would I find the international media. Where, occasionally, they tell it like it is. I'd be struck with that sappy, vanilla home-grown crap. Tomorrow they're gonna tell us how screwed up healthcare is here.
Support striking and locked-out grocery workers.

All is not right in the valley. That's right, all is not right in the valley of democracy. (In theory, that is.) That would be the assertion Democratic nomination presidential candidate Senator Joe Lieberman is 'unintentionally' conveying as he tries to distinguish his message from the growing 'anti-occupation' sentiment which grows amongst the Democratic primary faithful as mid-west Republican angst rises with President Bush's domestic farm policies.

The religious right, their Republican Party supporters, conservative columnists and television commentators all have leapt to defend General Boykin for stating that, "George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States ... he was appointed by God ... He's in the White House because God put him there."
This is a rant well worth reading...though a few strong words...it nonetheless provokes
one to think. So read it and THINK!

This a chilling report and sadly it only addresses one aspect of this issue.
>The Scope of this Report We are keenly aware of the many related problems that we have excluded from this report. Our inquiry is limited to adults, although a high percentage of youth in the juvenile justice system are also mentally ill. We concentrate on mental illness, while recognizing that prisoners who are developmentally disabled or suffer from organic brain damage also face unique and important problems. And our inquiry is limited to prisons, although we acknowledge as all who are familiar with jails must that jails are equally, if not more, overwhelmed by mentally ill prisoners for whom they are ill-equipped to care.<
"In the framework of an ambitious free trade zone, the US wants to enforce by 2005 what was unsuccessful for them in Cancun: the unhindered access of their corporations to businesses in the service area and to lucrative government contracts.. Brazil's foreign minister Amorim stood up for an FTAA without straitjackets. Every country should be free to drastically liberalize its markets.."
"Must America-and the rest of the world-hold its breath while the Bush administration repeats an economic experiment from the Reagan era? Will this be an upswing on loan, with dangerous consequences for American state indebtedness, inflation and interest rates?.. Bush's plans involve a `permanent change of the tax structure, not short-term creation of jobs and growth'. Chronic deficits are the consequence.."
Note from PDX reposter: Wow, this is cool. I've had plenty of cynicism about Julia's activism (both her non-consensus behavior during the Luna sit, her selling of the tree to save it, and the apparently superficial quality of her Circle of Life efforts) but this is a very cool and brave thing to do. Great speech, too. Way to go, Julia!

Bicyclists are demanding that the nation's largest radio group be punished because disc jockeys at three stations made on-air comments they say encouraged drivers to throw bottles at bike riders or hit them with open car doors.

"DJs encouraging the masses to hurt people in any form is insipid, and should not go unpunished," said Edwin D. Reeves, 30, a cyclist and ceramic engineer in St. Louis.
