| Thursday Dec 7, 2000 | As global
anticapitalism spreads, so does global anti-anticapitalism.
Apparently anticapitalism is
"rebellion against Original Sin . . .
a protest against the human condition to work by the sweat of our
brow."

| "Considering the out-and-out sinful nature of the game, features such as gameplay, graphics, etc. are irrelevant. This is not a game for kids, nor is it one for adults. The first epistle of John says that whoever believes in Christ must walk as He did. I am certain the Lord would not touch this game with a forty-foot pole." From the Christian Answers review of Quake 3. It's a game review site with a difference, anyway.

| Founded in Denver, Colorado in 1942 and sold to Budget Group Inc. in 1998, the yellow trucks belonging to Ryder TRS have a unique place in our nation's history. On February 26, 1993, terrorists drove a bomb-laden Ryder truck into the parking garage at the World Trade Center in New York City and detonated it, killing six people and causing millions in damage. On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh used a Ryder truck to deliver a bomb which destroyed the Murrah Building and killed 168 people in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Now, you can own a bit of history -- the Ryder truck that transported 462,000 Presidential ballots from Palm Beach, Florida to Tallahassee, Forida. to Transportation by rich |

| Plato's dialogues
the Timaeus and Critias
are the first to mention Atlantis. Now there are
numerous references, particularly from those trying to determine the location. Antartica,
the South China Sea, North America and the Bahamas have all been proposed. If you are
interested in the subject, but tired of having your intelligence insulted, try Richard Ellis' Imagining Atlantis. As the book shows, humanity's consistent obsession with Atlantis is just as interesting a subject, if not more so, than the proposed locations.

| Tuesday Dec 5, 2000 | The
Hanford Site
spent most of the
cold
war
war
producing
plutonium and
uranium
for the US Nuclear
weapons
program.
After a both
productive
and checkered
past, it is now among the most polluted sites on the planet.
Millions of gallons
of radioactive and toxic waste are stored in 177 enormous underground tanks.
149 of these tanks have only one shell, and many of the tanks are
leaking waste
plumes into ground near the Columbia River.
Tank
106-C had so much strontium 90 in it that it would regularly heat up and
require cooling water, though it's a bit better now,
even if it may still give off flammable gases.
The DOE has documented
some of the site's history and some of the lessons
learned during the cleanup in their extensive website.
Unfortunately, not all is well at Hanford, and the Government Accountability
Project has also had to document
other facets of
the site's history. The Tri-City Herald also has an archive of local news about the Hanford
cleanup.

| Two groups are vying for power in Colombia. As their
hompages describe the sitution, the ELN and FARC are community based organizations
fighting the good fight.
The US government, however, takes a different view . But then
again, controversy continues over the US drug policy in Colombia. As with any recent grassroots organization, there is an e-petition opposing the US drug war in Colombia.
