And what did we come up with?
There were a lot of nominees this week. We tried to go with some of the less obvious.
See above.
If people believe something, the question to ask, always, is what gave them that impression? Who led them to believe or misbelieve something?
Ava and C.I. tackle the just started RightNetwork.
This addresses the issues that got ignored while the fear card was repeatedly dealt. Thank you to those in the community who honored the embargo on this topic I requested as it quickly became evident that very few people were going to speak up. (C.I. and Ruth were speaking up before I called the embargo.)
Thanks to a Common Ills community member for raising this issue with C.I. who brought it to this edition. Thank you to Stan who tabled his suggestion so we could address this one. We'll do a movie article next week.
Sometimes you shake your head in disbelief and realize you just can't stop shaking it. That is what we feel when bad writing, when false writing, is ignored just because the writer trots out the tribal points you want to hear or read.
Politico makes a big announcement that they're going to bring . . . the exact same voices everyone else does.
A Socialist Worker reprint on Iraq.
A Workers World reprint on Iraq.
Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.
And that's what we ended up with. Hopefully you found something to make you think or make you laugh or make you angry. Our e-mail address is thirdestatesundayreview@yahoo.com.
Peace.
