its an opinion piece, and because there is a lack of lexicon to describe such a movie, because no creative critics, and i dont mean fat ass ebert have coined a new school of thought, nor have linguists or ethicists called for a paradign shift in terminolgy. so we are forced to ram this circular word, documentary into this square hole, 'Fahrenheit 9/11'. im afraid for the state of news, and vociferous maddening commentary and opinion being cloaked in the supposed nuetrality of a documentary... blah...i used to love mike moore, but i can see me penning my first book, "how michael moore made me republican"....i still love the guy, he is just irking me these da…

i always thought of myself as a pretty liberal, left wing kinda guy. but i gotta say, i'm getting real fucking sick of the america bashing, (especially from non-americans), as well as the "let iraq set up their own gov't", shit. i'm even starting to feel less against the war to begin with. fuck them. those fuckers are crazy and they dropped bombs on my favorite skate spot growing up as a kid. they wouldn't know how to set up their own fucking government without our help. they're fucking religious fanatics. religious fanatics are scary and fucked up. i know america is fucked up too. we've done tons of fucked up shit. but i'm getting sick of being the bad guys. i…

Israel said the site was a training camp used by Pales- tinian militants responsible for deadly attacks against Israelis, but Syria said it was a civilian area and warned of a "grave escalation" in violence. The air strike - in apparent retaliation for a Palestinian suicide bombing Saturday that killed 19 Israelis, came on …

Israel Grounds Pilots Who Refused Mission By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM - Israel on Thursday temporarily grounded reserve air force pilots who — in an unprecedented protest — condemned airstrikes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as "immoral" and refused to fly such sorties. The declaration by 27 pilots, including nine on active duty, was widely criticized in Israel as subversive at a time of war, but it also revived a flagging debate on the ethics of Israel's three-year war on Palestinian militants. The protest struck a nerve because many Israelis believe their military has higher moral standards than that of their nei…

The Recording Industry Association of America's attack on US culture has escalated at an alarming pace this week. On Friday the lobby group that works on behalf of the large, mostly foreign-owned, music conglomerates that own the music copyrights and distribution channels confirmed that it was serving subpoenas at the rate of 75 a day on US citizens for the crime of sharing the music they love. This signals a change of tactics for the RIAA: as now each individual file sharer is potentially responsible for thousands of dollars in damages. Once they were shielded by ISPs, but in the wake of the Verizon case, individuals are now exposed to direct intimidation. Th…

The court ruled 5-4 to uphold the U-M Law School's admissions policy, giving universities permission to continue affirmative action programs.

article i found As I'm sure you are well aware, it has been a few months since the September 11th terrorist incidents took place. And I'm sure you have listened to the media endlessly ramble on any way imaginable about the events. I, like everyone else who has half a conscience, mourn the loss of life. The events on September 11th are no exception. Take just a second and try to think about how life has changed since then. Some things might come to mind such as 'national unity' and increased security many places. There is one thing, however, that is just as horrifying as the attacks themselves - America's new interest in patriotism itself. Since September 1…
