Bill Moyers | How Pop Culture Influences Political Expectations
http://www.truth-out.org/how-pop-culture-influences-political-expectations/=
1330185800
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "Film historian and culture critic Neal Gabler j=
oins Bill Moyers to discuss how representations of heroism in movies shape =
our expectations of a U.S. president, and how our real-world candidates are=
packaged into superficial, two-dimensional personas designed to appeal to =
both the electorate and the media. As a result, says Gabler, we never get t=
o the true pressing questions and issues of America."
Remembering the Context of War Crimes: The Crime of War Itself
http://www.truth-out.org/war-crime-or-crime-war/1329930406
Camillo "Mac" Bica, Truthout: "War cannot be understood, rationally or inte=
llectually, by watching a film or by reading a book. To 'know' war, you hav=
e to experience it, live it, feel it in your gut - the anxiety, fear, frust=
ration, boredom, hopelessness, despair, anger, rage, etcetera. In truth, wa=
rriors exist in a world totally incomprehensible to those who have never ha=
d the misfortune of experiencing the horrors of the battlefield."
Neither Stimulus Nor Austerity Will Solve This Crisis: A Third Way?
http://www.truth-out.org/neither-stimulus-nor-austerity-will-solve-crisis-t=
hird-way/1329937798
Steven Hill, Truthout: "Few subjects have so bitterly divided our insecure =
times than the double-edged saber of stimulus vs. austerity. Consensus over=
which course will lift the current economic malaise has eluded the dueling=
experts. Without clearer signals of success, many nations have tried a con=
fused mix of both - let's call it 'aust-imulus.'"
A Woman's Womb: America's New Sports Arena
http://www.truth-out.org/womans-womb-americas-new-sports-arena/1330093814
Connie Schultz, Truthout: "I always have thought my birth control was a who=
le lot of nobody's business. However, Santorum and that all-male panel of p=
ontificates at the recent congressional hearing make clear that silence is =
not an option. Not if I - not if we - want subsequent generations of women =
to live long, healthy lives."
Top Five Initiatives to Watch Ahead of California's November Election
http://www.truth-out.org/top-five-initiatives-watch-ahead-californias-novem=
ber-election/1330191749
Rene Ciria-Cruz, New America Media: "Thus far, voters will have two ballot =
initiatives to decide on in the June primary and three in November. However=
, deadlines are looming to get other initiatives on the ballot and people a=
re quickly gathering signatures for the 65 petitions so far in circulation.=
[Here] are five contentious petitions that would have far-reaching impacts=
on ethnic communities if they make it onto the November ballot."
How Economists Tally Unemployment - and Its Affect on the Black Jobless Rat=
e
http://www.truth-out.org/how-economists-tally-unemployment-and-its-affect-b=
lack-jobless-rate/1330185210
Shani O. Hilton and Hatty Lee, ColorLines: "When the black unemployment num=
bers dropped so steeply in January - from 15.7 to 12.7 percent - a lot of a=
nalysts were scratching their heads to figure out why. One told us that it =
was 'quite surprising,' but there would be no way to know what the numbers =
meant or whether they were accurate until we saw if the trend continued in =
later months. But why is that? We dug a little deeper into the process of t=
racking joblessness to find out."
The Republican Brain: Why Even Educated Conservatives Deny Science - and Re=
ality
http://www.truth-out.org/republican-brain-why-even-educated-conservatives-d=
eny-science-and-reality/1330187007
Chris Mooney, AlterNet: "I can still remember when I first realized how na=
=C3=AFve I was in thinking - hoping -that laying out the 'facts' would suff=
ice to change politicized minds, and especially Republican ones. It was a t=
ypically wonkish, liberal revelation: One based on statistics and data. Onl=
y this time, the data were showing, rather awkwardly, that people ignore da=
ta and evidence - and often, knowledge and education only make the problem =
worse."
Cash of the Titans: Against the Noxious Fantasy of Limitless Growth
http://www.truth-out.org/cash-titans-against-noxious-fantasy-limitless-grow=
th/1330186018
Phil Rockstroh, Pacific Free Press: "The concept of endless economic growth=
, accepted as sacrosanct by both U.S. mainstream political parties, and int=
ernalized as the dominant mode of mind by the general population of the cor=
porate/consumer state is mirrored in the exponential mathematics of a malig=
nancy. Cancer, if given voice, would proclaim itself to be a believer in 'f=
ree market values'=E2=80=A6devoted to the principle of endless growth=E2=80=
=A6until, of course, it would silence its own voice by killing its host."
Debt of Gratitude: Less Earning, More Learning
http://www.truth-out.org/debt-gratitude-less-earning-more-learning/13301854=
48
Randall Amster, New Clear Vision: "I'd like to share a story, a personal st=
ory, a common story, an American story. For nearly two decades, I have carr=
ied the burden of a crushing student loan debt, well over six figures and i=
mpossible for me to fathom paying off in this lifetime=E2=80=A6. I suspect =
that many people burdened by debt feel similarly and are often constrained =
to bear the pressures silently."
Does College Make Us Less Equipped to Change the World?
http://www.truth-out.org/does-college-make-us-less-equipped-change-world/13=
30192830
Sara Robinson, AlterNet: "In this great meritocracy of ours, those of us wh=
o've made it through college are encouraged to feel like we're something sp=
ecial=E2=80=A6. It sounds weird and counterintuitive, but in my work with p=
rogressive organizations, I've noticed some specific ways in which the kind=
of thinking we learned in our classrooms actually makes us kinda dumb poli=
tically. Here are a few places college grads often seem to get led astray b=
y their own educations."
Education as "Politically Contested Spaces"
http://www.truth-out.org/education-politically-contested-spaces/1330105517
Paul Thomas, The Daily Censored: "Teachers have long been prone to being th=
e tool of other people's actions =E2=80=A6 To pretend to be objective, to w=
ave off or deny the politics of teaching and learning, to shrug off our voi=
ces because we must do as we are told are all political concessions to thos=
e in power who are the ones using their politics to beg for our silence and=
inaction."
