 | | Terrorism: Does It Achieve Anything? | | by Michael Sheridan, May 3, 2008 | | It can be argued that there are two separate ways of using terror as a weapon: One is to maintain the status quo and the other is to change something, usually in terms of a political and/or economic regime. The question is, does the use of terror achieve these ends in either case? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Who Watches Over Government | | by Phillip Torsrud, Apr 15, 2008 | | One basic tenant of democracy is that power must be shared. Clearly in our day, power is not shared by the classes as both Republicans and Democrats have sold out the poor to pander to the interests of corporate America, the upper class. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 1 |
