Soliciting donations is absolutely essential in order to sustain activism, be it the on-the-street type or the digital kind.

This is the kind of jaw-dropping insanity that people will simply not understand after this police state has been put to rest. How could a person of African-American descent NOT recoil in horror at the thought of he, himself, imposing a known historical injustice on his fellow African-Americans?

And he wants to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Let’s forget about that though and just get back to the hypocrisy. All I hear from him is “personal […]
This is simply amazing. Should I get some land someday, I hope to build a lot of Marcin’s tools and put them to good use. More information at Open Source Ecology. The political aspect of this is also fascinating. As he mentions, the means of production are now in the hands of the people. There […]
