We will not walk in fear - one, of another.

Edward R. Murrow 1954

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history
and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men; Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were - for the moment - unpopular."

Reported by Democracy Now Biology Absent From List of Federal Study Grants Evolutionary
In education news, the New York Times is reporting evolutionary biology is no longer listed as an acceptable field of study for low-income recipients of federal study grants. The omission would mean students studying evolutionary biology could not receive federal money without declaring another major. That is causing concern among scientists who say their field is under attack from opponents of evolutionary theory.

No more negotiations!
We are already to far away from other objects in the space, now we have also excluded Pluto from our solar community. I am feeling sorry for that tiny little planet, will wandering alone in space. I think it will be better to declare Pluto as terrorist, at least then nobody will feel sad for that ball of ice, nobody will ask the “Bodies” to start “negotiation” on including Pluto back in to “community”. Anyway we have successfully pushed out Pluto from our solar system; it is no more orbiting around "our Sun" this is a “Victory day”.

Great writer

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire tobecome a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that thewhole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a trulyemotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain andanger!"

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

One woman’s journey:crossing a divide created by prejudices and misunderstandings

Can we take step like this?

Actual Link

In 2003, Susan Nathan moved from her comfortable home in Tel Aviv to Tamra, an Arab town in the northern part of Israel. Nathan had arrived in Israel four years earlier and had taught English and worked with various progressive social organizations. Her desire to help build a just and humane society in Israel took an unexpected turn, however, when she became aware of Israel’s neglected and often oppressed indigenous Arab population. Despite warnings from friends about the dangers she would encounter, Nathan settled in an apartment in Tamra, the only Jew among 25,000 Muslims. There she discovered a division between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs as tangible as the concrete wall and razor-wire fences that surround the Palestinian towns of the West Bank and Gaza. From her unique vantage point, Nathan examines the history and the present-day political and cultural currents that have created a situation little recognized in the ongoing debates about the future of Israel and the Middle East. With warmth, humor, and compassion, she portrays the daily life of her neighbors, the challenges they encounter, and the hopes they harbor. She introduces Arab leaders fighting against entrenched segregation and discrimination; uncovers the hidden biases that undermine even the most well-intentioned Arab-Jewish peace organizations; and describes the efforts of dedicated individuals who insist that Israeli Arabs must be granted the same rights and privileges as Jewish citizens. Through her own courageous example, Nathan proves that it is possible for Jews and Arabs to live and work peacefully together. The Other Side of Israel is more than the story of one woman’s journey; it is a road map for crossing a divide created by prejudices and misunderstandings.

PHIL OCHS Song Lyrics

I Ain't Marching Anymore

(From the album "I AIN'T MARCHING ANYMORE")

Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans



At the end of the early British war



The young land started growing

The young blood started flowing

But I ain't marchin' anymore

For I've killed my share of Indians

In a thousand different fights

I was there at the Little Big Horn

I heard many men lying

I saw many more dying

But I ain't marchin' anymore



It's always the old to lead us to the war

It's always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all

For I stole California from the Mexican land

Fought in the bloody Civil War

Yes I even killed my brother

And so many others

And I ain't marchin' anymore



For I marched to the battles of the German trench

In a war that was bound to end all wars

Oh I must have killed a million men

And now they want me back again

But I ain't marchin' anymore






For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky

Set off the mighty mushroom roar

When I saw the cities burning

I knew that I was learning

That I ain't marchin' anymore



Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,

United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore,

Call it ";Peace"; or call it ";Treason,";

Call it ";Love"; or call it ";Reason,";

But I ain't marchin' any more.



There seems to be a variety of opinions about the chords for this song. Since I am not able to judge which is right, I will simply present all of them.



The first set of chords were provided by Dave Miller:



Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans

At the end of the early British war

The young land started growing

The young blood started flowing

But I ain't marchin' anymore



It's always the old to lead us to the war

It's always the young to fall



Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans

At the end of the early British war

The young land started growing

The young blood started flowing

But I ain't marchin' anymore



It's always the old to lead us to the war

It's always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all
