Howard Zinn & 'The NN-phant in the Room'

07-07-2006 11:16

The huge omnivorous herd consumes everywhere on our earth as much as it can grab, and tramples millions of human beings to death. That doesn't seem to matter. The 'elephant boys' don't speak about the bloody pulp underneath the feet of the big animals: instead they give'm a bath in the mainstream.

Review of Milan Rai's "7/7" (London Bombings)

07-07-2006 06:35

Below is a book review of Milan Rai's new book, "7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War". The article juxtaposes 7/7 with 9/11, in part because I am an American writer-journalist living in England, but mostly because both Americans and Britons are demanding answers to legitimate, unanswered questions which their governments have tried to obscure.

Individuality and the Polarisation of Intellect: A Western Perspective

06-07-2006 18:04

Western individualism will try to dominate alternative Eastern models in globalised agendas. However, individualism may not be best, e.g. in terms of polarisation of societal wealth and intellect. Hence a more balanced approach to integration may be justified. At least the East shoud be wary as power shifts in this century.
