The big boys have yachts. The small boys have row boats

I mentioned at the beginning that the big boys have yachts and the small boys have row boats. Could I suggest that both are vulnerable to shifting tides and the threat of being sunk. It is about time we spoke up and took the necessary action that would sink the rotten ship 'HMS Howard' and end this government's increasing militarisation of the region and his gunboat diplomacy. To not do so will only send us on a voyage from which no one will return unscathed. Let alone our Timorese brothers and sisters. Read more >>

A Guided Tour of Class in America

BE: It's partly that the evangelical churches have reached for these things, and then there's the faith-based approach coming from the Bush administration where the dream was: Let's turn all social welfare functions over to churches. A lot of the megachurches now function as giant social welfare bureaucracies. I wouldn't have found this out if I hadn't been researching Bait and Switch and gone into some of them, because that's where you go when you want to connect with people to find a job. That's also where you find after-school care, child care, support groups for battered women, support groups for people with different illnesses. As government helping functions dwindle, the role of the churches grows. What's sinister is that so many of these churches also support political candidates who are anti-choice, anti-gay, and -- not coincidentally -- opposed to any kind of expansion of secular social services.

The walling up of Al Numan village in the illegally occupied West Bank

Al Numan village situated in the SouthWest bank between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, was ignored by Israel when it illegally extended Jerusalem's borders and occupied Palestinan land in 1967. The community of Al Numan are severed from the rest of Palestine by the Apartheid wall, yet they are not considered Arab Israeli so are forbidden from entering Eretz Israel as they have not been issued with the required blue card.
