POPSTell the truth about race in America "to talk today requires a different and perhaps deeper courage when confronted with so many mirages of equality. It is tempting to be confused by these oases of opportunity and forget the desert of inequality through which most people are still struggling." "The demand for justice is divisive and culturally closed: it divides those who seek justice from the unjust. It rejects a culture that promotes individual or corporate profit at any cost." "Too many people want to take the short cut. They want African-Americans to reconcile themselves to a government, which does not represent them, actively disenfranchises them, destroys their homes (and whole cities if need be), imprisons their children and ships the rest off to war, and never ask why or who is responsible. This is the reconciliation „on the cheap“ -- cheap for white and corporate America that is." - Brother Bede Vincent

POPSWho is the bad man - Bush or Sadam? Bush is responsible for far more deaths than Sadam -- under Sadam factions lived together in relative peace -- the country was not war ravaged and it was not a center for terrorists. So who is the BAD MAN?

POPSIraq war opposition at record high I was against the war from the start. My country acting like the country that invaded Poland in WWII did not sit well with me. We have been given a reason for the war -- WMD and that was false. We have been diverted into the argument that Iraq was a terrorist state -- again proved false We have been pushed into the argument that we are liberating the Iraq people from Sadam -- um, there are bad leaders all over the world, why this one? Every argument given has failed to hold water -- the USA is engaging in imperialism -- and against international law. The numbers of people killed far far exceed the numbers for the "bad man Sadam" who was convicted of war crimes, not by an international court but by his enemies in Iraq. I hope there will be a time when Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney are tried in an international court for war crimes -- after the American people get through with them for violating the US Constitution.

POPSWho Will Save His Sorry Butt or Let Him Hang? I'm having a hard time understanding what all the fuss is about. First, I feel that it will only get worse in Iraq once Sadam is gone, but this isn't saying that I disagree with the penalty. Second, we all know who will be blamed for his death. Third, I feel that after many (if not most) of his attorneys and a few judges were slaughtered by Sadam's followers, this surviving attorney may be calling this plea in an attempt to save his own life, after all is said and done. You know, as in proof of "I did everything I could to save his sorry butt, so don't kill me too." Lastly, if Sadam is saved by the bell, who pays to keep him alive in prison and where does he live out his sentence? If it's coming from my hard earned dollars, then hang him. If it's coming out of the pockets of decent hard working Iraqi's then they have some decisions to make. I only hope they make the right one.
