national / anti-capitalism Wednesday June 21, 2006 - 21:43 by anon
So I read in the Times this column inch about Bertie Ahern meeting a delegation from Iraq in Dublin organised by the IRI, that is all there no other mention of it I can find, ok so diplomatic meetings rarely get much sattention but this is more then that this is 8 MPs from Iraq's newly elected government. Ireland and the UN have brought democracy to Iraq and with all that bads news and 'unwarranted flak' the government has been getting over the Shannon and Bertie doesn' t want to use this opportumity to shout from the rooftops? with those men DEMOCRACY!! not even a photocall, or a told you so! you nitwit. Oh I wish I was one of those journalists you hear about. ... read full story / add a comment

I got a Hard Rain in recently and it blew me away. It's a photographic exploration of the effects of climate change illustrating Bob Dylan's prophetic lyrics. Everyone should read this book and I don't care where you get it so long as you get a look at it. If any book can shake people out of their complacency, this is the one. Make your libraries buy it, show it to your friends, family and co-workers, show it to everyone you meet every day. Read it and weep. And then do something about it. ... read full story / add a comment

There is a complete lack of parental control and responsibility for their children in this country. Young girls and young boys totally unequipped for adult life are enagaging in sexual intercourse at increasingly young ages. This is a direct result from imagery on television, the internet, print media and most importantly from the behaviour of their adult peers. Every day I recoil in disgust as I see young girls barely finished playing with their dolls dressed in skimpy clothing with rouged lip and make up and overhear them openly using the most profane language and engaging in sexually explicit conversation or blatant heavy petting in public. Young boys are supposed to fulfill a predatory hard drinking macho stereotype. ... read full story / add a comment

There are occasions when the sheer wrongheaded analysis and distorted facts of a newspaper or magazine article cause you to stiffen with annoyance. Nine times out of ten, these articles are found in the mainstream press; the Independent Group of newspapers, for example, is a reliable purveyor of sly and explicit attacks on left-wing and progressive ideas, campaigns and parties, often underpinned by distorted ‘facts’ and baffling interpretations. It can be a frustrating experience to read these wilful misinterpretations of left-wing ideas and actions. Unfortunately, the socialist media cannot claim an entirely clean record in this regard either. ... read full story / add a comment

Cynicism and insecurity seems to reverberate amongst the 'Laboratory Rats - namely those who are full of FEAR'. Action is required and bravery of creating a movement, underground and silent resistance - rather than Protests! ... read full story / add a comment |
