NEED TO GET THE OCTOBER FUNDRAISER MOVING (NOT MOVING YET) - I am foolish. I believe we can do better on fundraising. I believe our funding-drives do not have to take 24 days out of every month. I think we can better invest those days in serving our community and fulfilling our mission. Be foolish with me. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
William Boardman | Nobel Peace Prize Winner Bombs Afghan Hospital
William Boardman, Reader Supported News
Boardman writes: "No, it's not really fair to blame President Obama personally for the waves of aerial bombing that took more than an hour on October 4 to destroy a neutral hospital operated by Doctors Without Borders in Kunduz, Afghanistan. But it's totally fair to blame President Obama for giving the world another six years of President Bush's policy of bringing chaos and devastation to whatever part of the Middle East happens to be annoying the folks who have decided these things since 2001."

The gun control movement in this country is a pathetic failure."

Democracy Now!
Excerpt: "All those years, we imagined that we had freed ourselves from nature's bonds, that we were the boss. There was a part of the story we couldn't yet see: Our machines were filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. Could it be that we're not the masters, after all, that we are just guests here and that we can get evicted for bad behavior?"
