The Necessity of Tolerance

Those who wish to control others by ignorance, censorship and fear, do so by dividing us into identifiable groups that are profiled, demonized, sequestered and then tortured, murdered, and harvested for whatever value they may have including organs for recycling.

The Unspoken Contemporary American Genocide

It began as a counter to the gay rights movement that rang out in June of 1969 at Stonewall, New York. This opening shot in the contemporary gay rights movement had its resistance and opposition that intensified in mid 1981 with the emergence of AIDS.

Social Housing: Under Who's Control?

There is an ongoing call for social housing, especially since the 2010 Olympics were considered and now ongoing in Vancouver.

It started off full of sound and fury, but after a long slow march from the Art Gallery on Georgia and Howe Streets to BC Place at Beatty and Cambie, it ended in a Mexican stand off between the RCMP, Vancouver Police and Olympic security, the Anti-Poverty Olympic front, various anarchists and left leaning reformists.
