The last couple of days, I’ve visited a number of blogs discussing the idea that America has gone fascist. I’ve left comments here and there; I’ve exchanged email with a couple of people. As I was writing the response to one email, it occurred to me that it could be today’s blog entry.

I was reading an article over at Stark Offerings about the ways in which female American soldiers have been used to torture detainees at Guantanamo. Apparently the United States has no problem with allowing its women soldiers to sexually titillate themselves by “provocative touching” of the prisoners — no word on whether or not they […]

Not long ago, I wrote an article called “The Paradox of Intelligent Design” which resulted in a few interesting comments. Mostly, those comments demonstrate the very illogic of believing in the Paradox that I was trying to point out. This article is not another attempt to explain to those embracing the logical form of the […]

By now, it’s not news — was it ever? — that the Bush Administration is none-too-keen on the elderly being able to retire. If they insist on doing it, the millionaires who run our government say they should not be able to do so on a livable pension. And it’s also no surprise that the […]

I’d love to tell you about it, but then I’d need a capital defense […]

I’ve spent about six hours between yesterday and today cleaning blogspam from MyLeftBrain and closing off posts to trackbacks or pings. Something’s happened to Cat — and I don’t know what. I’m going to be at the Capital Case Defense Seminar in Monterey this weekend (four days; leaving in about an hour), so unless I […]

I was going to post a comment to “Is This The New McCarthyism?” but decided against it when I realized that the way thatcoloredfella’s blog is built, comments don’t connect back to people. There are a few reasons I might give for why that’s not a Good Thing™, but it doesn’t matter. It’s unclear what […]

Although I didn’t have any doubts about this before, recent information I’ve uncovered from Lexis — the site most attorneys in my area use for research (so I don’t doubt the sources as much) — would remove any that I might have harbored concerning the real reason George Bush took us to war with Iraq.

An article at Fact-esque reminds me of the numerous times I’ve written about the harm that comes from too-powerful Corporations. Many people don’t realize this — many others think it’s totally the right thing — but Corporations have more rights in America than human beings. First of all, as “artificial persons,” Corporations have rights under […]
