Anarcho_Nick’s Digest 17
From the Annals of Drug War Absurdity
Yeah, like, ’cause this happens all the time…
Marijuana is apparently a cause of incest, but only if you’re driving!
Because They Can: The Logic of the Torture State
Warning: not a good piece to read if you have a weak stomach.
Speaking of Needless Death and Destruction
Progress Report: Redefining Forward Motion in Iraq
This week’s digest is heavy on the Chris Floyd since I’ve really been enjoying his intensely passionate denunciations of the Bush Administration’s war policy.
The “No Mercy” Doctrine Strikes Again in Afghanistan
Afghan civilian deaths have been making the headlines — at least, on Antiwar.com — more often lately, so I’ve got to wonder if the U.S. government is headed down the same path that the Russians took in the country.
Fallujans Defiant Amidst Chaos
This is an older piece that I uncovered when sifting through some past emails in a cleaning out operation. I encourage individuals to consider donating money to Dahr Jamail’s project since independent reporting and photography from Iraq is very important.
From Cultural Items to Miscellaneous
Real World Politics and Radical Libertarianism
I’d wanted to highlight this in the past, but it slipped my mind. It’s a most excellent piece with one of my favorite parts being:
“One reason people hate privatization is because they think of huge contracts to corporate cronies and Wall Street or the contracting out of prisons to private enterprise – as if a company making money off of people being treated worse than animals is somehow a move toward the libertarian vision.”
Bravo!
Reassessing Political Correctness
More intriguing thoughts from Anthony Gregory.
Mark Morford talks of a sense of wonder about life and human accomplishments.
Just a short digest this week, and you can view it online here.
