It’s up to us. We can’t count on our elected representatives to work

utterly incapable of compromising even in an emergency to come up with a 
sensible plan to protect the health of our most vulnerable


friends, neighbors and family members.

Seems like we have an entire genre of commentary about the dilemmas of 
rural America! Enough to
fill a few books, or a syllabus or two. (Which makes we ask - is this a 
taboo subject for academia?
I do not recall seeing many sociological/psychological/economic studies 
in the last decade? Or do

I need to be reminded?)

Highly recommend also this recent Counterpunch article.

This is the Missouri Bootheel. The counties around here are called 
that because if you squint at a map, it kind of looks like the heel of 
a boot, jutting south from the rest of the state into Arkansas and 
Tennessee. The name comes from its shape, but it’s something of a 
metaphor, too. It can sometimes seem like life is trying to grind 
people down.


It’s a place, one of many in America, where disadvantages pile up. 
Researchers are uncovering links between education — or lack of it — 
and health, and they don’t like what they see. It’s not clear whether 
a college degree leads directly to better health, or, if so, how. But 
the findings are alarming: Educational disparities and economic 
malaise and lack of opportunity are making people like those in the 
Bootheel sick. And maybe even killing them.

In front of the main entrance to the Frederick County Public Library 
building in Frederick, Md. (Key's home town, and the site of the Francis 
Scott Key
Mall and a brew pub featuring an FSK lager) is this hilarious statue of 
an African-American mother (or father?  don't recall) and two children 
eagerly

reading the Star Spangled Banner.



The good Frederick news is that a bust of Taney was removed in March 
2017 (after several years of squabbling) from the City Hall forecourt.

Francis Scott Key was a rich slave-owner who persuaded President 
Andrew Jackson, the symbol of grass-roots democracy for Sean Wilentz, 
to make his brother-in-law Roger Taney the chief justice of the 
Supreme Court. From the article: "Roundly hated north of the 
Mason-Dixon line, Taney lived long enough to author the 1857 Dred 
Scott Supreme Court opinion, the most starkly racist high court 
decision in history. Taney struck down the argument that free blacks 
could become citizens in free states like Illinois and further 
declared that all blacks, whether slave or free, were never entitled 
to any rights, period."

And yet Britain just experienced an entire week without coal-generated 
electricity...without mass panic,

it would seem?



But I am not sure if what is happening in Britain is a direct 
contradiction to the drift of the Forbes
article - it may be that Britain has had much greater success than 
Germany with off-shore wind.

Entrepreneurs like Elon Musk proclaimed that a rich, high-energy 
civilization could be powered by cheap solar panels and electric cars.


Journalists reported breathlessly on the cost declines in batteries, 
imagining a tipping point at which conventional electricity utilities 
would be “disrupted.”


But no amount of marketing could change the poor physics of 
resource-intensive and land-intensive renewables. Solar farms take 450 
times more land than nuclear plants, and wind farms take 700 times 
more land than natural gas wells, to produce the same amount of energy.

Comrades interested in the progress (or non-progress) of the DSA might 
want to glance at this

recent item in the Washington Post.

"Socialist candidates appear on this year’s ballot for Advisory 
Neighborhood Commission seats in
five of the District’s eight wards. It’s the largest election push by 
the Democratic Socialists of

America in any city in the country."

“Two years from now, we’re going to run a whole lot more people,” said 
Matthew Sampson, 27,
a DSA organizer and graduate student at Georgetown University running 
unopposed for an ANC
seat representing the Dupont Circle neighborhood. “We want to show our 
neighbors that socialists
are not people to be afraid of. We’re people who want to push for change 
from the bottom up

instead of the top down.”

John,
  That cattle raised in CAFO style of farming is a contributor and a big one
to climate change is not in doubt. If you listened to the video it's right
there. Which is the POINT of the video. It's now that cows produce GHG
emissions or not, it is how they are raised with a focus on the soil. Your
link dump is irrelevant to the discussion since not a single link actually
addresses the issue of carbon sequestration in the soil. None of them which
is unfortunate. And, I should note, did you...who flippantly and arrogantly
dumped your links on the list without a single answer to the points raised
in the video. You simply don't know what you are talking about.

Secondly, one of the sponsors if "Belcompo" a local ranching and purveyor
of meat raised as show in the video. It in not simply a "meat company" with
images of Harris Ranch and the large CAFO owners that come to mind. All
ranchers and farmers, like Belcompo, are *small business*, bar none.
However, this form of restorative agriculture is directly *counterpoised*
to that factory form of agriculture and you ought to pay attention to this
and the other issues around soil that you are so oblivious too but
seemingly have no interest to learn about. Here is an essay I penned a few
weeks ago on this issue to further enlighten you. Good luck with your diet.

I'm not sure who Paul Street is - given the shakiness of left-supporting 
writers in CounterPunch and
other leftish publications he may be a secret Assadist, or have a 
library full of reactionary writers -

but these two paragraphs were precious!

Recommending the whole article.

- Bill

"There’s a lot of factors in play but one nobody seems to care about and 
that deserves far more attention
than it receives is the archaic, explicitly anti-democratic 18^th 
century aristo-republican U.S. Constitution
that we moronically venerate and follow twenty-three decades after it 
was ratified for the clear purpose of

protecting propertied elites against the non-affluent American majority.

Our Holy Constitution’s (OHC’s) Electoral College (EC) permits an absurd 
over-representation of rural
and disproportionately white, rural, racist, and Republican states in 
presidential elections.  We do not
elect presidents directly, on the one-person, one-vote basis of majority 
rule, an elementary principle of
democracy. The EC has trumped the popular vote in five presidential 
elections, including 2016 and two

of the last five."

"Their small ceremony marked the 50th anniversary of the protest led by 
brothers Philip and Daniel Berrigan,
both Catholic priests, in May 1968. Melville, one of two surviving 
members of the nine, was the only one to attend.
“We were burning draft cards in Catonsville to protest the government’s 
burning of children in Vietnam,”

Melville said, quoting Daniel Berrigan’s famous line."

Stepping into a dangerous area :)

Kipnis suggests that a woman has "agency", implying the ability to 
determine her goals,
morals, and ideals. Yet the testimonies of the women accusers suggest 
that they were
susceptible to devices that undermine agency - "charm" and "desire", 
allowing an

opening for manipulation.

So someone please enlighten me... which is it? Is every individual built 
just a
little bit differently? Or is it that we are ALL living on a pivot point 
between agency

and susceptibility?

"In the scramble to make sense of the post-inauguration world, Amazon 
has been forced to restock a few key titles:
Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four hit No 1 at the end of last week, after 
Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway used the
phrase “alternative facts” in place of “some bullshit I just made up”. 
But the surprise hit – being long, complex and
demanding or, as the online magazine Jezebel described it, “extremely 
metal” is Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of
Totalitarianism, first published in 1951. Commentators have been 
referencing the work since Donald Trump’s election
in November but rarely has this spurred so many people to actually buy a

on Marxmail and unsubbed him. 3 months of his provocations were 
tolerated by

me because he hadn't caused problems in the past. I guess when some people
can't accept the fact that their message is falling on deaf ears, they 
only raise their
voice. But they'd better figure out whether we are deaf before going on 
and on.

My ears are pretty good even though I have serious eye problems.

Thompson left the Communist Party in 1956, after the Khruschev 
revelations and the Hungarian invasion.
Several sources suggest that he began to focus on William Morris much 
earlier when he realized that the
drive for an "humane" English socialism was being blunted by the "taint" 
of the Soviet one.

An interesting, sympathetic article about a teacher in a small

by the FBI and McCarthyism in the 50's.

P.S. The Globe has a pay wall, but you get 5 articles free.

Well now Ralph- I side with Louis on the possible complexities of an IT 
project (been through a few
myself), but it's one of those if you ain't been there, you wouldn't 
understand kinds of things. While
the technological developments since the first trash 80 computer (and 
its ilk) have been truly
incredible, Louis and others can easily make a list of multi-million 
dollar projects that failed

miserably.

Maybe, since I gather none of us is actually going to be in Athens 
programming the changes, we

should just sit back and watch? (With fingers crossed, of course.)

This post has been a long time coming. Not only because it’s taken time 
to track down and convert some of these massive files into manageable 
sizes, though that also. Rather, it is more that I’ve been busy 
reassessing my own relationship to Trotsky’s works. Some reflections on 
his career, in thought and in deed, follow the documents posted below. 
For now, here are all fourteen volumes of his /Writings/ during his last 
exile, from 1929 to 1940, along with his three-volume /History of the 
Russian Revolution/, his biographical works (his autobiography, 
biography of Lenin, and incomplete biography of Stalin), along with some 
of his earlier works (/Results and Prospects/, /Terrorism and 
Communism/, /An Appeal to the Toiling, Oppressed, Exhausted Peoples of 
Europe/, /The Permanent Revolution/, /Problems of Everyday Life/, 
/Literature and Revolution/, and /Lessons of  October.

(Reuters) - Chile will reopen an investigation into the death of Nobel 
laureate Pablo Neruda to determine if the poet was poisoned more than 40 
years ago by a military dictatorship, after tests on his exhumed body in 
2013 found no evidence to back the claims

There have been a number of articles and letters in the London Review of 
Books in the last
year or so deploring the decline (caused by government policies) of 
British universities.


I just found two of them - if you dig around in the LRB you will find more.
