Larmen og vreden i Charlotte
Shirley Phelps-Roper står på et gatehjørne og synger en selvkomponert sang om at Barack Obama er antikrist. En liten gutt står ved siden av henne i en altfor stor T-skjorte. "Gud hater homser" står det på brystet hans. Westboro Baptist Church har inntatt Charlotte.
The missing option…Food Sovereignty (SL+IT+DU+TU+PO subtitles)
The future of our food is at stake ! A CAP reform is going on. European Institutions are supporting an unsustainable food system based on low quality food for competitive prices.
First published Thu Oct 4, 2001; substantive revision Wed Jan 25, 2012 Modern-day communitarianism began in the upper reaches of Anglo-American academia in the form of a critical reaction to John Rawls' landmark 1971 book A Theory of Justice (Rawls 1971). Drawing primarily upon the insights of Aristotle and Hegel, political philosophers such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Michael Sandel, Charles Taylor and Michael Walzer disputed Rawls' assumption that the principal task of government is to secure and distribute fairly the liberties and economic resources individuals need to lead freely chosen lives. These critics of liberal theory never did identify themselves with the communitarian movement (the communitarian label was pinned on them by others, usually critics), [ 1 ] much less offer a grand communitarian theory as a systematic alternative to liberalism.

Attac kjører i gang kampanje for skatteparadisfrie soner. Nå er jeg i Finnmark hvor jeg skal snakke med lokalpolitikere i Alta og Karasjok om hvordan de kan gjøre sine kommuner til skatteparadisfrie soner. Skatteparadis er blitt kalt verdensøkonomiens sorte hull.

Melodi Grand Prix i Aserbajdsjan nærmer seg. Norske journalister som skal dit har valget: Håndlangere for et korrupt og brutalt regime, eller journalistikk? Det dreper ikke journalister eller menneskerettighetsaktivister i Norge. Opposisjonspolitikere og fagforeningsledere blir heller ikke arrestert eller trakassert. Det er lite farlig å utfordre og avsløre norske makthavere.
Egon : The show must go on
Så er det over oss igjen, den internasjonale konkurransen i å tilstrebe seg mest mulig oppmerksomhet med mest mulig fjollete klær. Ja, også litt sånn derre musikk på toppen. Eller Melodi Grand Prix ( MGP ), som vi kaller det her til lands. At arrangementet i år går av stabelen i Aserbajdsjan, et land der grunnleggende menneskerettigheter er erstattet av rå systemvold, politisk undertrykkelse av opposisjonelle, diskriminering av homofile og utarming av landets innbyggere, må for all del ikke ødelegge helgekosen. Vi må da kunne lukke øynene og ha det litt gøy, ikke sant? Dette er ikke noe nytt.
- Aserbajdsjan gjør ESC til et politisk utstillingsvindu
- I det gamle Sovjet ble alle kulturarrangementer grovt utnyttet til å slå politisk gevinst for en ide. I dagens Aserbajdsjan foregår denne utnyttelsen enda mer skamløst. Forskjellen er at man nå forsøker å fremme personer, sier Ismayilova. Hun viser til at presidentfamilien i Aserbajdsjan er svært tungt inne i det prestisjefylte arrangmentet av ESC-finalen: Førstedamen Mehriban Aliyeva leder den nasjonale ESC-komiteen i Baku. Og presidentens svigersønn, Emin Agalarov, har fått i oppgave å fremføre pauselåten under finalen.There is nothing more sacred to the maintenance of democracy than a free press. Access to comprehensive, accurate and quality information is essential to the manifestation of Socratic citizenship - the society characterized by a civically engaged, well-informed and socially invested populace.

Social Libertarianism - by nikhil bhatla
Apr 23, 2007, 10:10p - Culture Pure libertarianism, while disproportionately popular among several of my friends and among the privileged, is neither a feasible nor a compassionate philosophy for social living. As much as I value my independence and want people to stop butting into each other's business, libertarianism will not work as a solution to the overreach of government and our culture of victimization. I, as much as anyone, would like to see our rates of violence, our rates of litigation, and our rates of alienation and depression go down. 30,000 people die each year of suicide, of the 130,000 who attempt and have to be hospitalized, in addition to the 16,000 who are murdered each year. Unfortunately, libertarianism cannot solve these problems, either for the society or the individual. Here's why.
The Nagorno-Karabakh War was an armed conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the small enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in southwestern Azerbaijan , between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by the Republic of Armenia , and the Republic of Azerbaijan. As the war progressed, Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet Republics , entangled themselves in a protracted, undeclared war in the mountainous heights of Karabakh as Azerbaijan attempted to curb the secessionist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh. The enclave's parliament had voted in favor of uniting itself with Armenia and a referendum, boycotted by the Azerbaijani population of Nagorno-Karabakh, was held, whereby most of the voters voted in favor of independence.
