Costa Rica and A World Beyond War

It's a subject so huge, hard to find where to talk about it.

Thankfully there are writers here who care about US policy of endless war and are willing to post about it.

Always surprising to also find people who have not given up, who have a vision and are working for change -- now.

Remember David Swanson ? He often took it on the chin back at TOP.
Here's an online course that he tweeted about that should be interesting.

How to fix US elections.

Their is a lot of talk about whats wrong with US elections, and sadly to much of it is center one of two parts of the system rather then the entire process, It is rather disturbing how little security our elections have, and its not just the voting machines, or the tabulation machines, or the county ran database that swaps every ones party affiliation so that prechosen candidates can win. Its not enough to complain about an issue however so I want to outline what we can do about it.

The blind spot of today's GOP

Ebola was a horrible emergency, so the GOP response was to ban travel, arrest and hold travelers to this country, and to harass and embarrass medical workers who did their best to stop the pandemic.

With a few exceptions, the Democratic response, led by President Obama, was to work with other countries, apply the best science and medicine, and eventually stop the spread of this killer disease.
