Where Are You Now, When We Need You Most, Rage Against The Machine?

From the Onion: Now, of all times, we look to you for clear-eyed articulation of the fucked-up world we live in. The people of the sun still labor in Mexico, but no one plays bass about their struggles! Mumia sits in prison, yet no one sings for his freedom. What do we hear? Silence. You've abandoned us in our hour of need. How could you? Everywhere: exploitation. Where's the rock? You summed it up so clearly in "Fistful Of Steel" when you sang, "If the vibe was suicide, then you would push da...

Ron Paul: Stopping Preemptive War is the Most Pressing Moral Issue of Our Time

From tonight's debate: A man in the audience asks: What is the most pressing moral issue of our time and your solution to it? Dr. Ron Paul answered that preemptive war is the biggest threat. "I think it is the acceptance just recently that we now promote preemptive war. I do not believe that’s part of the American tradition.
