Because they're not content to stick with fucking up the fossil fuels, now they're gonna fuck up our body's fuels.

To quote the website, Size Matters! Guess what else? If Measure 339 passes, fast food companies will be sitting pretty, no matter what kind of shit they stir into the french fries they're selling! Of course, the other side to the story is that it isn't the responsibility of the food producers to tell people when to stop. I agree, but if they say they're selling healthy food, it should at least be recognizable as *real* food.

I absolutely agree. Americans don't want to feel any pain - ever, about anything. Realizing that we've allowed these kinds of atrocities is unbearable for many and I'm sure they're more than ready to never see nor hear about Abu Ghraib again. They just want it to go away. Let someone else deal with it, as long as we don't have to suffer (hah) or hear about anyone else's suffering.

Is it irony that gay marriage is being roundly condemned at the same time that corporate America is racing to cash in on the gay market?

I swear, Chuck D is one of the most creative people in America these days. People in other professions should get a clue and look at some of the stuff he's doing in hip-hop and rap.

How to walk the line between advocating sexual freedom for women and advocating against sexuality being used to portray women as nothing but brainless sluts? Here's a clip from the article:

Another scary Bush (potential)appointee waits in the wings.

So who's lobbying to help protect the SOLDIERS?
