It's obvious why the RCMP are putting on a big show for the journalists. It's known as "target hardening"--sending a message to potential terrorists and activists that disrupting the Winter Games is not worth the effort because their efforts are doomed to fail...My biggest concern isn't the terrorists. It's the police.

Five years of savage torture has destroyed her humanity.

The wanton slaughter of wildlife for the fun of killing creates hostility toward firearms among the general public...Many Americans have an aversion to people who get their jollies by murdering animals. Banning guns becomes a way to protect wildlife...We need the Second Amendment for our own protection and for our constitutional rights...An armed population is not compatible with the police state that President Bush and the Republicans created and that President Obama and the Democrats have ratified.

With or without approval from city hall, anti-Olympic activists will hold a rally on the afternoon of February 12 on the north lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery. They will then march to B.C. Place, which will be hosting the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Games that evening...“We’re going to exercise our democratic rights as Canadians to protest...”

The call has gone out. On March 4th, students, workers and teachers throughout the nation and across the globe will strike.

Forget Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the 15,000 Lebanese and Palestinian dead. Forget the Sabra and Shatila massacre that same year...And forget, of course, the more than 1,300 Palestinians slaughtered by Israel in Gaza last year...Israel...is now under an even more dangerous, near-unprecedented attack...That was the dreary, familiar, hopelessly misunderstood theme at the 10th annual Herzliya conference of diplomats, Israeli civil servants, military gold braid and government yesterday.
