Well, I just got baked and the compassionate inner-child has spoken. (Which i might add rarely makes any difference, but I keep trying for some reason, oh god I'm blathering, hold on tight.) To a large degree this site is littered with complaints (often in one direction) and in some cases blatant hate. The non-emotional man says so the fuck what, politics as usual, kill or be killed. Which is very true, but that's also part of the problem. Let me be clear. I'm not suggesting we have to be friendly. Fuck that. Never work. But I and (I hope) some of the rest of you will begin to find ways to engage in Constructive Politics. Anyway, I haven't really thought of any great ways to implement this. But maybe some of you will. I offer the most basic in this thread and will be starting another is research on something I want to write about. To the question at hand: Where does your ear hit the ground? For those without my affordably-priced interpreter, what sites to you get your news/commentary from? My news sources are: http://www.abc.net.au/news/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/ www.cnn.com http://news.yahoo.com/ http://www.voxnews.com/ http://www.mapinc.org/ - drug / cannabis news http://www.foreignaffairs.org/ www.drudgereport.com www.washingtonpost.com http://www.economist.com http://prisonradio.org/mumia.html http://www.guerrillanews.com/ Amnesty International give a "human" slant on the Little People behind the news... http://www.amnesty.org/ And the planet's version of the news is a goodie...many countries have their own sub-site as well as the international homepage at... http://www.greenpeace.org/international_en/ Probably the best Library about all things politically odd. http://www.rotten.com/library/ So where does your ear hit the ground???
My main news/opinion sources are: NPR local newspaper (Oregonian) national TV news (usually ABC) http://www.cpjustice.org http://www.cornerstonemag.com http://www.esa-online.org/prism (I receive Prism Magazine at home; the online version is sadly out of date.)
