SWARM the Minutemen - Post Action Update
SWARM quiere agradecer sinceramente a las más de 78.500 personas de todo
el mundo que se unieron a la sentada virtual del Electronic Disturbance
Theatre contra los MinueteMen. Parece que, en un tiempo en el que casi

espino, Internet todavía sirve como ámbito común donde la gente puede
juntarse para crear un cambio social positivo.

Freedom Of the Press: Wake-Up America!
American writers have always held that the Arab World is full of dictatorship. They accuse the Arabs of living in a huge prison where newspapers and magazines publish nothing but propaganda and are always pro-government. They boast about how free the American press is, and how it answers to no one, being a power in its own right in America. And then comes the latest American scandal: The White House pressures Newsweek to retract an article it published about mishandling the Holy Qur’an....

The debate over gay marriage continues to divide the nation and in the last year, many states have passed laws prohibiting the recognition of same sex marriages. However, at the same time, some states have moved forward in granting legal rights to gay and lesbians couples. Connecticut recently joined Vermont in legalizing "civil unions," which are designed to afford the same legal protections, rights, and responsibilities as marriage. And Oregon could soon become the third state to ...
