Challenge the 'handing out candy' image of the U.S., and in regards to the prevention of "the threat of a good example", see Noam Chomsky's Deterring Democracy.
The works, Challenge Things, Community Windows, Collective Library Syndrome, "G8[Billion" Integration" (autonomous yet integrated via many locales), massindymedia (as well as "mass" indy media, mass indy media, mass-indy-media) - just exaggerating the rightly justified use by Affero in registering three TLDs (top-level domains), so that www.affero.org, -.net, and -.org would be associated with them. There still is the potential for www.commondreams.org to in effect direct "vistors" to the .com who would probably not otherwise be on such a fishing expedition - someone is clearly using the name commondreams.someotherTLD to peddle something, and there are many other cases of this.),
"malcontent providers", ultimate binary choice (that being "hegemony or survival" of all human and nonhuman animals) and Private Bus are licensed under a Creative

In regards to the excerpts, and in some cases whole books, and much else, essays, etc. that are provided my "malcontent providers" (Some noted below, Third World Traveler, Z Magazine's, ZNet, ParEcon ("Participatory Economics (Parecon for short) is a type of economy proposed as an alternative to contemporary capitalism" - sledom hear much about all the 'corrective' factors - stay tuned - for such a fine running system), and others to be more fully noted, if only Affero or someone would connect with people who are grateful for this being available and who would 'donate' in whatever way they could. I did not have to see book prices and ever twindling "used" bookshops (still miss Roseway Books in Jamaica Plain, MA) to be aware of the cost of some new boxes. If only books were as ubiquitously accessible (aside from libraries..) and touted (by NEtWorked adS) as "private busses"- you know those Fossil Fuel Transporters (silly uBig vechiles would be just plain too silly) youmigth see up in the mountains, slopes, on the lakes but seldom nearly running over people walking, riding bikes, etc. Anyone with a different view might "sound like crazed Marxist lunatics. That just shows how much our intellectual life has deteriorated." Thought of that line when heard one host of DN! during a (gladly without hearing the * reports, where *is yet another uncritical reference to a source from a corporte view of reality) report on NYPD Attempts To Criminalize [a threat of a good example, and quite visible, as] Bike Riders Taking Part in Critical Mass say bike 'taking over" streets. It hardly needs be said that fossil burners are in the way of people walking, riding, pushing baby carriages, etc.
It is possible to value something very much, and be critical of it. Will say more about uncritical references later.
The cost of books struck me again the other day while in LPC's (below) - granted this is a range of prices but..."new book" arrivals, Community Windows, and Collective Library Syndrome later.
Like the ultimate binary choice, "Hegemony or Survival" - just the other day while "just browsing" at Lucy Parsons Center I was glad to see an updated edition on AKPress of Language and Politics, a fine reference -"his consistency of tone and ability to discuss anyone from St. Augustine and Galileo to Hume and Bakunin mark him as an intellect whose worst-case perspective of the Western world deserves a measure of respect.

A History of Hope
When Americans Have Dared to Dream of a Better Future by "James W. Fraser, Professor of History and Education and Director of the Center for Innovation in Urban Education at Northeastern Univer
sity, Boston, Massachusetts. He is the author of Between Church and State."
Professor Fraser was on Radio with a View ( AirWaveWEB) on January 14, 2003 and quite possibly left many listeners hopeful that the interaction of efforts by individually connected active citizens and peace and justice o rganizations can and will have an impact regarding Iraq. And these processes along with existing ones will address and resolve issues worldwide.

Julia noted the marketing designation, if I have correct, HFFU's, refering to Heavy Fast Food Users, and Max noted Tricon, Taco Bell's parent company, clearly is attemting to market concepts, namely high calorie, low nutrition, and via its "sweatshops in the fields". I also liked what Julia said about "thinking outside the bun" and glad to see Adbusters. What an example of an organized effort.
