GMO Propaganda and the Sociology of Science The rhetoric behind characterizing anyone who questions the safety of GMO technology as anti-science is the new brilliant marketing strategy by an industry facing public backlash. But banning the labeling of GMO foods, which the U.S. Congress may do, is what is really anti-science.

Dying Too Soon: Why Children Need the Precautionary Principle Lost amid the heart-wrenching human-interest stories of these young women dying of brain cancer is the big question that needs to be asked: Why are these young women dying of brain cancer and what can be done about it? Could cell phones be implicated?

Pure Transformation or Persistent Deterioration? What Next Wisconsin? America? The World? The Wisconsin election loss speaks to much larger issues and battles. By merely focusing on the Republican vs. Democratic horse race and by placing it in the context of the dominant paradigm, we bow to the same elite structures that perpetuate the mess that is the world.

"Licensed to Ill" The randomness of cancer is highly overstated. We who suffer it are victims of a toxic environment created by an utterly toxic culture. We continually ignore the environmental causes of cancer, much to our own peril.

From Me Culture to We Culture: There is an Alternative It is high time that we establish an alternative system that focuses on the needs of "we" rather than the wants of "me." The occupy movement may be the beginning of this paradigmatic and systemic change.

More Jobs are Not the Solution; the Earth Needs Fewer Talk of saving our economy by creating jobs has been rampant in liberal and progressive circles, but it wholly neglects ecological concerns. Creating more jobs is an environmentally unsustainable solution to our current predicament; providing jobs with a living wage could be the answer.

When You Play the Plutocrats' Game, They Win: On Civility and Half Measures The recall elections in Wisconsin were doomed from the start, as electoral politics is the game of the plutocracy. To win the class war, playing by their rules is not an option.

Enough Equivocation: Obama and His Democratic Comrades are Right-Wing Republicans President Obama, much like Clinton before him, may speak the rhetoric of a liberal, but his policies belie his words. He has proven himself from day one to be nothing more than a neoliberal Republican, and it is high time - in light of the recent charade of the debt ceiling "crisis" - that the media and the public admit this fact.
