Now this something worth protesting about. Maybe even an embassy deserves to be burned! This student had to pay extra for a visa because his name was Mohammed! Maybe someone should tell the US that a lot of nasty people shared the name George including kings who oppressed the American colonists.

I cut and paste this piece from the Irish Times because I found it extremely alarming.
Tax cuts fuel the capitalist system - producing a larger bourgeoise capitalists class - I don't need to mention the effect the SSIA's will have on economic growth once they reach fruition.
Economic growth in this country has to be stopped - it has destroyed the power of public sector unions created material wealth at the expense of spiritual decay and attracted legions of brain washed "consumer-voters" who worship at the PD/ Fianna Fail facist capitalist altar.
We need social justice not economic growth.
So heres the story:

A new tax-cutting policy aimed at average middle-class families was unveiled by the Progressive Democrats at the conclusion of the party's national conference in Limerick yesterday. Attacks on the Labour Party over tax, immigration and health dominated much of the conference debate. Stephen Collins and Liam Reid report read full story / add a comment

Saturday 22/4/06 - The Teacher’s Club.

At this meeting whose purpose is to form and reform associations and to invigorate the anti-war effort, there arose a topic that at first glance might look to be irrelevant. However it is a topic that eventually dominated the meeting and strengthened our association. read full story / add a comment

Graffiti artist Marc Ecko broke into a government facility where one of the Boeing 747 planes which serve as Air Force One was parked, and tagged it with graffiti. Ecko then posted video of the tagging online, along with a video statement of “why I tagged the President’s plane.”

- Or so he says. As it turns out, the video is fake. read full story / add a comment
