A Desire Named Streetcar; Or, What Happened to Mass Transit?

I like mass transit. When I’m living in or visiting a substantial city, there’s simply no better way to get around than the local bus or (if I’m lucky) train system. Why battle heavy traffic when I can relax, crack a book, and let someone else drive me  to within easy walking distance of almost … Continue reading A Desire Named Streetcar; Or, What Happened to Mass Transit? → - by Thomas L.

War: Thanks But No Thanks

When I think of Thanksgiving, I seldom think of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people dining together (likely sans turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie) in Massachusetts in 1621.

Denying the Security of the Oppressed Imperils the Security of the Oppressor

Presumably, if Israeli Jews were not occupying the majority of historical Palestine, laying siege to Gaza, oppressing, humiliating, dehumanizing, liquidating, and refusing statehood to the Palestinian people that Hamas, a Palestinian resistance, would not have been driven to launch an attack on Israelis.
