"The present war crisis is something we have made entirely for and by ourselves. There is in reality not the slightest logical reason for war, and yet the whole world is plunging headlong into frightful destruction, and doing so with the purpose of avoiding war and preserving peace! This is a true war-madness, an illness of the mind and the spirit that is spreading with a furious and subtle contagion all over the world." - Thomas Merton writing in 1961 read full story / add a comment

A potentially landmark Human Rights case resulting from a year-long dispute between Belfast City Council and the free cultural newspaper The Vacuum is due to take place on Tuesday 13th September 2005. This is the first courtcase against a municipal government on violation of the human rights legislation put in place from the peace process - and its not happening along traditional sectarian lines. Just the opposite- nonsectarians stood up for themselves and political parties across sectarian lines in the Belfast City Council voted to censor them. Now the whole snarl is going to court as free expression and human rights in the North square off against bipartisan bigotry . read full story / add a comment

"Tús maith, leath na h-oibre," said Pat heading off with his leaflets to the Electric Picnic from Dublin Castle. And he is right. With the digging in the Tara Gabhra Valley in progress, time is running out to make it public knowledge that the current M3 route is a massive squandering of public money as it detours off like a rampaging tornado towards Tara before resuming its 'natural' directness from Navan to Kells that is normally a feature of motorways. read full story / add a comment

By now everyone with a tv set knows that after 120 hours the poor of new Orleans are getting food, water and medical supplies. I've left an article, filled with Jesus describing what happened in the USA in the last week, which soon enough will be forgotten, and i've moved to american time not the first time in my life I wake at american morning and work till american night. Yesterday america's tv and newspapers got into "state of emergency". Yesterday the anchor news opinion shows of the 4 networks got down to real business. Answering the questions, spinning less propaganda, telling "you" how to help, giving facts, figures and to a one voicing the desperation of their own "ex war correspondents" in New Orleans. 120 hours. What follows is advice for you and your friends and family as members of "our community" on what may save your life if ever your city goes through a similar disaster. read full story / add a comment
