The 12th edition of Carnival of the Un-Capitalists is up, and it's a scientific bonanza! No, sorry, there's no debate on creationism / intelligent design -v- reality (eg. evolution), but there are quite a few good postings on topics such as weaponization of space, environmental science, organic farming, peak oil, and low tech WMD the U.S. has been using in Iraq.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
