Gangs Of America
"... Corporations are the dominant force in modern life, surpassing even church and state. The largest are richer than entire nations, and courts have given these entities more rights than people. To many Americans, corporate power seems out of control. According to a Business Week/Harris poll released in September 2000, 82 percent of those surveyed agreed that “business has too much power over too many aspects of our lives.” And the recent revelations of corporate scandal and political influence have only added to such concerns."

(The) Gap Sucks
"The Fisher family of the Gap clothing store empire (including Banana Republic and Old Navy Stores) is destroying the last of the ancient redwood forest in our area, and is driving endangered species to extinction, including the Coho Salmon, the steelhead trout, the marbled murelet and the spotted owl. The Greenwood Watershed Association - a community environmental group in Elk, California - created the Save the Redwoods-Boycott the Gap* Campaign to inform Gap customers about Fisher logging and to convince the Fishers to place all of their damaged redwood forests into a conservation land trust. Many organizations such as Rainforest Action Network and Forests Forever have joined us in asking the Fishers to place this ravaged forest land into a conservation land trust..."

Garbage - How Can My Community Reduce Waste?
"If your habits resemble those of average Americans, you generate about 4 pounds of solid trash per day. This adds up to big trouble for the environment. Americans are generating waste products faster than nature can break them down and using up resources faster than they can be replaced."

Germ Warfare
"The United States has a long history of experimentation, on unwitting human subjects, which goes back to the beginning of this century. Both private firms and the military have used unknowing human populations to test various theories. However, the extent to which human experimentation has been a part of the U.S. Biological Weapons programs will probably never be known."

By doing this, we hope to play a small part in maintaining the web as an information tool that is more useful for the masses, than it is for the elites."

Hacker Ethic
"Originally, a hacker was a person to whom programming was a passion and who shared the creations of this passion with others (as dictated by the hacker ethic) - not a computer criminal. The computer hackers have always emphasized that ultimately being a hacker is not related to computers as such. Anyone who is realizing his or her passion - something that he or she finds intrinsically interesting, energizing, and joyous - is a hacker. We could also call this general work ethic the hacker ethic as an extension of the expression's original sense."

The Hated
"...is a friendly jab at these "compassionate conservatives" who spread hatred, lies and venom about those of us who are liberals; those of us who stand for liberty and freedom for all the world. These are the sites most loved by liberals. Enjoy them. Use them. Support them. And help us keep the promise and reality of freedom alive."

Chances are you are being attacked by Fundamentalist Christians."

Human Shields
"... Solution - What would happen if several thousand Western citizens migrated to Iraq to stand side by side with the Iraqi people? The fact is that the world's most powerful nation would be stopped in its imperialist tracks if thousands of Westerners might be killed by its oil lust war.

Info Anarchy
"...In the past centuries, technological progress has exponentially increased our ability to communicate. First there were one-to-many media: orators, priests in churches. Then came the few-to-many media: newspapers, radio, TV. In both environments it was possible to control the flow of information and to treat information as "property", as if it were something scarce like any other good offered on the free market."

Kick Box The Queen!
"My name is Shane MacDougall, and I'm a ... Canadian citizen, and ever since I was a child I have questioned the whole concept of a monarchy. In a supposed democracy such as Canada, it seemed odd that our head of state is an unelected foreigner. As I grew older, the ludicrousness of the institution became even clearer. All the pro-monarchist arguments were at best, weak, and at worst, pathetic. Why do we spend large amounts of money to support an outdated institution that serves no real purpose? Why do we allow a family whose lineage is one of murderers, adulterers, thieves, religious intolerance, and inbreeders, to be our rulers (figurehead or not)? So I decided that the time had come to launch a challenge to Canada's monarchy..."
