Towards More Effective Political Organizations
The debate over whether or not anarchists should organize is a long and rich one. Much has been written on the subject. So it is likely that most anarchists, at least those who have been politically involved for a significant length of time, know where they stand on this topic....

In-situ crop diversity, wild relatives and biotech GE pollen contamination
In-situ (on site) conservation of crop biodiversity is another answer to the fallacy of genetic engineering (GMO/GE) monoculture crops promoted by biotech corporations. Wild relatives of crops like rice and maize can be intercrossed/introgressed to increase resistance to insect pests and "weed" competition. We only need to protect the wild relatives of crops like rice, potatoes and maize.....

What We Call Peace is Little Better Than Capitulation To a Corporate Coup
This is an edited extract from the 2004 Sydney Peace Prize lecture delivered by Arundhati Roy at the Seymour Center last night.
Sometimes there's truth in old cliches. There can be no real peace without justice. And without resistance there will be no justice. Today, it is not merely justice itself, but the idea of justice that is under attack.
The assault on vulnerable, fragile sections of society is so complete, so cruel and so clever that its sheer audacity has eroded our definition ...

URGENT about CA's Stem Cell Initiative
Our early concerns about Proposition 71 have grown into an active
campaign to urge Californians to Vote No on 71 on Tuesday. We have been
working with the Pro-Choice Alliance Against Proposition 71,
www.allianceagainstprop71.org, to mobilize others who, like us, support
embryonic stem cell research but see Prop 71 as a gigantic give-away of
public funds and public oversight to the biotech sector....

Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution
When I was very young, I remember my family taking my uncle to Logan International Airport in Boston. One side of the Sumner Tunnel had been blocked to traffic due to security situations, because Fidel Castro was due to be passing through at any moment. This was the very day that he made his famous speech at Harvard University....
