It has been four years since Ken Friberg �took the red pill.� Yes, like in �The Matrix.� That�s how the St. Paul resident describes hearing Ralph Nader speak at the Target Center in Minneapolis four years ago. When the populist icon described the growing influence of corporations in America, Friberg�s interest was piqued, and he began to research the issue for himself. His view of the world, he said, was �shattered.�

Fair Trade Biz Takes Off
The movement for global justice and a good cup of joe

To see the global economy in action, you could fly to Indonesia and see the sweatshops and the cleared rainforests, or you could just stand in the unemployment line and talk to your downsized neighbors. Either is depressing, and you might like standing up to the big corporations � but you still have to buy stuff.

Mark Mallman: As Serious as a Heart Attack
by Nathan Hall
http://pulsetc.com/article.php?sid=1382
Bleary-eyed local piano madman Mark Mallman, covered in sweat and swaddled in an American flag, is basking in the adulation and applause that appropriately befits someone who has just performed for 52 and a half hours straight. A banner drops from the ceiling of St. Paul�s Turf Club, proclaiming �Mission Accomplished.� The spectacle has been grim, sadistic and yet strangely exhilarating to witness in person.
