Charles M. Young: "Rules of Thumb for the Age of Doom" @ This Can't Be Happening!

Anyone who claims that if you don’t know your history, you are doomed to relive it, is boring.

Anyone who claims that you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts is boring.

“Anyone dumb enough to wanna be in the military should be allowed in,” said the late great Bill Hicks. It was one of the few things he got wrong. Anyone dumb enough to wanna be in the military is too dumb to be trusted with a weapon. So the issue of getting gays into the military is not the issue. The issue is getting heterosexuals out of the military. They’re the ones who are shooting civilians for sport and taking trophies. Anyone who gets jazzed about equal rights for war criminals is boring.

As the Huffington Post gets bigger and bigger, it gets harder and harder to find the stuff that’s worth reading, unless you’re actually interested that Kim Kardashian bought a purse for $30,000.

Most men in the United States know they don’t have a chance with Kim Kardashian and they resent it. The fundamental problem here is class, not sexism...

WE ARE APPROACHING OUR SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THIS NEW EXPERIMENT IN OPERATING A READER-SPONSORED ONLINE NEWSPAPER ALTERNATIVE TO THE CRAP OFFERED BY THE CORPORATE MEDIA. We think we've done some pretty good work along the way, but we are not getting the reader support we need to make this really happen. Think about making a contribution. If all our readers could support the idea of paying two cents a day to have this publication available, we'd be set. Can you handle that?
