Albert Einstein: Why Socialism? |
 |
 |
 |
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils [of capitalism], namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.

It's Not Over! Update on LBAM |
|
|
|
Just when many people thought the threat of being sprayed with pesticides to eradicate the Light Brown Apple Moth was over because of two court decisions, we learn that the eradication program will continue.
1. Millions of sterile moths will be released over our neighborhoods beginning in 2009.
2. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) still plans to aerially spray “forested” and “agricultural” areas with a pheromone-based pesticide, but has not said where those areas are or what specific product they will be using.
3. Quarantines remain in place that threaten the livelihood of farmers and growers.
4. All from-the-ground pesticide applications will go on as planned - which include the widespread use of a dangerous pesticide called Permethrin and the mobile fogging of neighborhoods with Btk and Spinosad, two products that are used in organic agriculture, but are not appropriate for residential/urban settings.

We, the undersigned, elected leaders of the Peace and Freedom Party, demand an end to the U.S. drive towards war with Iran. The Peace and Freedom Party opposes any military attack on Iran, whether by the U.S. or by the U.S.-funded Israeli military. If entrusted to lead the country, members of Peace and Freedom Party would seek to put an end to the U.S. campaign of lies, demoralization, covert operations and sanctions directed at the people of Iran.
