Our complaints against government today dwarf those complaints of our Founding Fathers 240 years ago. American revolutionaries took up arms against the Crown over modest taxes and an unresponsive King. The Founders of our republic sought to protect subsequent generations from oppressive government. They hadn’t a clue to the evils of capitalism or the power…
Animal Rights advocates believe animals have the same right to be here as do humans. Animal Rights advocates believe animals have the same rights not to be exploited, enslaved, or murdered as we humans claim for ourselves.

Why political bribery is legal is much easier to understand than how it works. The short of it is that state legislatures and the US Congress write the laws. They have made it illegal to bribe government officials so long as those government officials are not elected. Elected government officials cannot be bribed if the…

Of all animal activists, there are few who operate in the rarefied air of Animal Rights. Those whose efforts are actually directed at changing law…
Advertising convinces consumers to spend money. The money consumers spend is the capital used to to exploit workers, murder animals, destroy the environment, and enslave the Third World. Corporate advertising is an evil and pernicious practice. It is legal for ads to mislead, even to lie to consumers. Advertising panders to greed, pride, and avarice.…
The corporations, the billionaires, and the oligarchs that control the US government through political bribery and manipulation of the media are not a unified group. They have different priorities and often competing, disparate, agendas. They share the same worldview, however. A worldview that the haves and the privileged and the monied should control government and…
