Democracy...is there really such a thing or is it just another word ...another label so we can sell what we think it is any day of the week???????????....soooo confused...is terrorism only terrorism when an act of violence befells the U.S of A...or is it any act of violence no matter what it is in the name of or how it is exercised or upon who it falls????????

[e_dog]

none of the above.

(in answer to artguy's rhetorical? questions about terrorism.)

Jim I wish I could get it here. Maybe on an internet station.

San Antonio is one of those cities that put Doonesbury in the editorial section. NPR and BBC Overnight about the best I can do and of course the News Hour on PBS.

· Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks

Democracy...is there really such a thing or is it just another word

Yes indeed just another word
Like compassion

absolutamente

i like the lists of words with positive connotations followed by the words with negative denotationz, Stillblooming

"democracy now" acutally implies what Art Guy has noted, the pseudo-democracy we got here in america, as well as what will happen soon in canada when the snowbirdz finally leave Florita just more time to catch the blossomz in Ottawa. look out.

"democracy now", man you watch it on the internet, yes, as well as can check out many of the radio stations around the world that also have it and some of them do live stream internet broadcasting as well.

It's why I included the links to the Argentinian stations.

I listen to Democracy Now several times a weel. Also you can browze the headlines of the day's shows and if you like can go directly to that segment. And you can actually watch the program, see Amy and her cohort Juan Gonzalez as they present interviews with guests, live in the studio and via phone. Also the program
has clips from various scenes relating to the stories, usually they have musical interludes with music from the area that is associated with the story.

Here is a reply from the radio station in Argentina, a nice personal touch.

Way over a million veterans have been to Iraq and back, nine of them running for congress this year. They have not yet begun to fight. I hope.

thanks for the link e-dog. I wish I could say april fools to you but I was serious . pardon my boorish behavior please.

I listen to today headlines in rioplatense spanish thanks Radio Mundo Real FM. And it's better than to read The New Times in English. The problem is that my computer speakers sintonize at the same time a sometimes tedious local folk station that (it's unbelievable..., really, but at least now the things are more clear) it's playing at this moment the marcha peronista...
Talking again about today's headlines, good for the marchas and terrible the possible attack against Iran. It's so linear a re/editation of a big mistake... and Hezbolla doesn't juega, most of the time...

[jimboloco]

It is insane, indeed.
I am so glad we are connected
in the underground stream,
spring forth now in South America
after all those years of tears

rio platón españoles
jugando la música al aire libre
las líneas escritas en la pared
al lado del crystál
y nadie los puede leer
aquí en América
la tierra de mentiras.

rio platon spanish
playing music in the fresh air
the lines written on the wall
beside the mirror
and nobody can read them
here in america
the land of lies.

And might I just say this? I talked to a young Hispanic male yesterday in a high school. It was one of the most emotionally charged meetings or conversations with a youngster, a person under the age of 18. We had just had a whole class talking about this question, because, as you would know, many high school students around the country have been walking out. And they're still doing so. We've been going to high schools to discuss this. He asked the question: Does America want him any more? Is he wanted? He felt so hurt and so disenfranchised. And he was not documented. But he wanted to join the United States military.

Meanwhile, young, low-income Latinos and other minorities are disproportionately targeted by military recruiting propaganda, according to data collected by Rick Jahnkow and University of California at San Diego Professor Jorge Mariscal, members of Project YANO (Youth and Non-Military Opportunities), reports Raymond R. Beltrán in bilingual weekly La Prensa San Diego.

Slogans such as "Army of One" appeal to the ideals of youth, says poet and screenwriter Jimmy Santiago Baca. And as part of Bush's No Child Left Behind policy, high schools cannot receive financial aid from the government unless they make available students' personal contact information to military recruiters.

Ten four
These are our years of tears


I know about the seventies in Argentina but I wonder what was going on in the sixties. I remember something called the Alliance For Progress a Kennedy program. I remember reading something about the French running the the show up to the sixties and then the CIA took over. I met an Argentinean architect around 1965. He was a refugee. I asked him why he fled; he looked at me as if I was a child. I remember how sad he was. Whatever happened in the seventies there must have been few who were ahead of the curve back in the sixties.

The Alliance for Progress
...President, Kennedy established an advisory task force that initially reported "that the greatest single task of American diplomacy in Latin America is to divorce the inevitable and necessary Latin American social transformation from connection with and prevent its capture by overseas Communist power politics." (2) The vehicle for this transformation was to be the Alliance for Progress, a campaign idea that President Kennedy sought to change from slogan to program.

Tuesday night i was writing an answer to s/t and to myself and suddenly...a two second electric/cut and poof!.
So, here it goes again...!
The sixties in Argentina, radical president Illia?, Frondizi meeting Che in Uruguay?, the red and blue ones? Ongania (a veeery, very catholic militar) since 1966?
One friend told me that he saw in the last weeks a tv programme that talked about something like the ancient french connection for the 1976 Golpe. I didn't know about it before plus I didn't understand what he said.
And talking about democracy, here the idea of a two century roller/coaster maybe it's more appropiate. Let's see, revolution, anarchy, despotism, oligarchy, something like democracy plus cruel reppresion to workers and activists, golpe de estado, oligarchy plus militarism, populism, revolution (mostly right wing) against populism, proscription, something like democracy, golpe de estado, something like democracy plus revolution plus anarchy plus AAA plus a cadaver, golpe de estado and lots of cadaveres, war, something like democracy, neo/liberal/corrupte/mesianic/delirium, something like democracy....
