AdaKepley.jpgMore than a century ago, social activists flocked to Lithia Springs, six miles east of Shelbyville, Ill., every summer to attend Jasper Douthit’s Lithia Springs Chautauqua Assembly.

The closing of the Galesburg Maytag plant has left more manufacturing workers pondering an uncertain future.

“Globalization is such a fraud,” says Bevard. “It’s just a rush to the bottom for cheap labor. Instead of reducing the United States to the Third World, we should be elevating the standards of those countries.”

Happy New Year To Everybody and Think About My Proposal
Current rating: 0
31 Dec 2004

As the after November election's publications on this web are showing pretty clearly, it is a difficult time for progressive people of Urbana-Champaign to 'gather together their wits' and to determine the global directions for their current activities. Below in quotes is my last comment to the article of Phil Stinard from 12/8/04. I think that now it is the very right time for my proposal from this comment. Here it is:
"As this story is becoming more popular in Urbana -Champaign neighborhood and over the country, I think that it is the very right time now to write to Chancellor Richard Herman an open petition with as many signatures as possible to attract his attention to the situation of Wayne Pickette. Every university is drastically increasing its prestige and available funding when it gets more Nobel Prize winners. If the "racial barrier" is crossed, Wayne Pickette, Marcian Hoff and, maybe, other participants of this invention would be likely the winners of an upcoming 2005 Nobel Prize, if properly recommended. The consequences of this event for the university and the neighboring community would be, certainly, essential and positive. The consequences for the world, as the possibility for Wayne Pickette to fast implement and disseminate his revolutionary engine would become immediately available, are also impossible to overestimate.

It would be the real act of the support to the causes, which IMC claims to promote and to protect.
It would be also the action to promote the image of IMC of Champaign-Urbana above its current local scale.

So, let us go ahead, produce, and submit such a petition. "

Happy New Year to Everyone and Have A Nice Celebration!
