Culture of Life or Culture of Living Death?: From Terry Schiavo to Iraq |
by Rahul Mahajan (No verified email address) |
Current rating: 0 23 Mar 2005
|
In the right context, these same people, or at least George W. Bush, are just fine with having the state terminate care to a patient against the guardian's will, as happened just a few days ago with a poor black baby in Houston, Texas - killed under the auspices of the Texas Futile Care Law, signed by Bush when he was governor of Texas.
This right wing apparently has a belief in preserving life only where that life is almost devoid of meaning - and where the HMO industry doesn't interfere. It's not a culture of life; it's a culture of living death. |

What is Neoliberalism? |

Every search for alternatives must question the "great narratives" of the free market, efficiency, competition and entrepreneurship.

Putting a Hitch in Informant Culture |

The so-called "war on drugs" would swiftly grind to a halt if cops had to do any of the work themselves. That is why they use informants -- they expect those they target to do all the heavy-lifting. Stripping the mask of secrcy from this disreputable approach to policing is http://www.whosarat.com/ |

Intellectual Ferment in the Party |

QUESTION : I was just wondering if you could speak a
little bit to how—while not throwing out democratic centralism
or something like that—how do you have the party in the mix of
all of these ideas? You went to China and you talked to these
people around how China was opening up to the West and saying
Marcos was a great leader and this, that and the other, and you
were asking these people in the Chinese party and they didn't
have the answers. And part of it is: did those people not have
the answers, or did they have some questions on it, but they were
more debating it internally and they couldn't talk to you about
it? How can you have the mix of people being able to be in the
midst of all the questions that are going on,
intellectually—political questions, but also in the ideological
realm—without breaking democratic centralism? How do you have
people in the mix of that, being able to engage it and even in
some ways go off in the wrong direction in order to eventually
get to the right direction, but then not have that cause a
splintering effect. You know?

The World Bank: A Problem Bigger than Wolfowitz |
by Mark Weisbrot (No verified email address) |
Current rating: 0 22 Mar 2005

In short, despite liberal sentiments among many of its staff, the World Bank is not a liberal institution. In fact it is so illiberal in practice that some of the United States' most prominent socially responsible investment funds (e.g., the Calvert group), largest unions (Service Employees International Union), and ten city governments have all pledged to boycott the World Bank's bonds -- which are commonly held by institutional investors -- until it reforms some of its most abusive polices toward developing countries. |
