512 [lbo-talk] religion bad for society (Gerin Oil: a legal narcotic plaguing our world) -- rank: 1000

http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=7036 Gerin oil (or Geriniol to give it its scientific name) is a powerful drug which acts directly on the central nervous system to produce a range of characteristic symptoms, often of an antisocial or self- damaging nature. If administered chronically in childhood, Gerin oil can permanently modify the brain to produce adult disorders, including dangerous delusions which have proved very hard to treat.

Plia Albeck, who paved legal way for 100 settlements, dies By Haaretz Service http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/629824.html Plia Albeck, a former key government legal official whose rulings on the extent of state lands paved the way for the construction of the more than 100 settlements that she once called "my children," died early Tuesday at her home in Jerusalem at the age of 68.

514 [lbo-talk] Who 'owns' an event? -- rank: 1000

Chuck, I seem to notice an inherent acquiescence to ANSWER or UFPJ's ownership (for want of a better word) of the space/event that took place because they got the permit. I personally think otherwise...they got the permit, but the event, whatever it was in the end, was the collective act of everyone that was there. And I am sure that most of the people there weren't really there in solidarity with ANSWER per se, or even really aware who ANSWER is and what they stand for. The fact that they also ...

516 [lbo-talk] DC (more sorries, etc.) -- rank: 1000

Again, sorry. I should have chosen a more pointed way to critique the statements which bothered me. I lumped them all together and replied in a non-contextual manner that didn't connect the reply to the statement. The critique (below) about not going to the demo if one has problems with a certain org that sets up the demo wasn't a critique of your statements. It was to the people who say that they wouldn't go near an ANSWER or UFPJ with a 10 ft. Black Flag. I also have major issues with the ideo ...

517 [lbo-talk] DC -- rank: 1000

Sorry, I was speaking in a general way about specific posts that I have been reading in the last days (and periodically come up upon an event such as the DC demo). I was following through conclusions would come to if they were to take to heart this mindset. But actually, I think it is all of us at certain points in time (me included), but some of us on the list in a more consistent manner. I didn't mean, and I am sorry if it was taken to be a statement in general about the people on this list. B ...

Boy, you people sure do love to castrate yourselves... you've done it so many times, I don't even know what yer cuttin' there...yah only got two at most to begin with. 100,000 is 50,000 and 50,000 is only .000122% of the pop if you don't include my gramma. and anyway, the were only there because the elite told them that it is alright to come out now... We're marginal, we're nothing... we're actually part of the problem... why try?...maybe it is better to just sit at home and bitch about it on a ...

Actually, I know of several people personally that have been pretty non-activist politically and moderate in the past, yet who have become fed up with the war (one of which was actually for the war until he saw the lies of the Admin and took it personally) who were motivated to go to the rally yesterday... And they tell me that they actually found the expe ...

520 Costs of big marches- Re: [lbo-talk] DC -- rank: 1000

Aren't periodic manifestations of sheer numbers essential in any political effort? Day to day, local coordination efforts and door to door outreach are also essential. Both these levels are essential and must function in some sort of harmony. Without the local work done, the periodic demos can not empower a movement that ceases to exist the second everyone goes home until the next demo, but local efforts are enhanced by the impression large demos have on people that there is a movement behind th ...

522 [lbo-talk] $7 A Gallon Gas? -- rank: 1000

Today in Yidiot Ahronot, there was an article about the imminent rise in gas and electric prices in Israel. They estimated that the price of gas could go up to 8 shekels a liter. At 4.545 liters to the gallon, that makes 36.36 per gallon. That is: $7.90847 USD per gallon... Right now, gas is around 5.80 shekels a liter I think...I should pay more attention when I fill up my car I guess. They were saying that electricity was going up from .40 agarot to 1.00 shekel per(whatever the unit is called ...

523 [lbo-talk] [Fwd: [Marxism] U.S. emergency plans: a disaster waiting to happen] -- rank: 1000

More of a question than a critique. I agree with you, but I feel the need to ask anyway... A great majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from only a handful of countries (EU States, US, Canada, Japan, NZ, Australia). I would suppose that even if only the US and EU were on board for significant cuts in GHG emissions, this would have a large impact. The relevant technology doesn't need to be put into place on a global scale. It would have a significant impact on the emissions if is was only i ...
