What I never hear conservative politicians or economists say is that the government isn't the only source of "fettering" of the market. A market dominated by 1 or 2 huge companies, like, oh, say, Microsoft (see various court cases), is no more free than a market controlled by a government.

plastic bottles leech xenoestrogens into contents, then into people - not good

whole foods gives you credit for bringing your own bag

vancouver hs those food scrap bins and they also have rats!

I still have sturdy plastic bags from a Paris supermarket for (wet) things that shouldn't go into canvas

We have a bin at the end of the hall for recycled trash - but we are required to put non-recyclable trash into plastic. here is my compromise: Take canvas bags with me - but when i do wind up bringing home plastic, It has to be used 3 times before it finally carries that trash.

Here's a question - a place for apt dwellers to compost - I have to go all the way to Union Sq to donate my composting - I can also buy compost there.

Before he was mayor, Rudy G made his name as US Attorney enforcing the securities laws, leading Wall St traders away in handcuffs. He was passionate about his belief in the need for regulated financial markets, and has often defended the actions he took at that time as being tough but necessary.

To hell with free markets I say!

Arise, the wretched of the earth,
Arise, prisoners of hunger,
Reason thunders in its crater,
It is the eruption of the end!
Let's make a blank slate of the past,
Crowds, slaves, arise, arise!
The world is going to change from its base,
We are nothing, let's be everything!
|: This is the final struggle
Let us gather, and tomorrow
The Internationale
Will be mankind!

Stand up, all victims of oppression,
For the tyrants fear your might!
Don't cling so hard to your possessions,
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
Let racist ignorance be ended,
For respect makes the empires fall!
Freedom is merely privilege extended,
Unless enjoyed by one and all.
So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on.
The Internationale,
Unites the world in song.
So comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place!
The international ideal,
Unites the human race.

Gee...Ghouliani contradicting his views when he was Mayor...what a surprise.

So what EXACTLY is it going to take for the mass-media (including NPR) to finally call this phoney a flip-flopper? If he were a Dem that tag would have been stuck on him a LOOOONG time ago.
