"Surveillance and social-classification are the mode through which one person engages with another. Log onto MySpace, check your friends' profiles, leave a comment or two, move people around your "Top 8" - this might be a typical session on the site. We will not stop posting personal information as long as these data holds social and interactive value. Surveillance and identity modulation has become the vehicle of these media, and, increasingly, our networked lives." read full story / add a comment

On Nov 19, 2005, a roadside bomb hit a patrol convoy of Marine humvees in Haditha, killing Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas. The twelve men in 1st Squad led by Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, proceeded to storm nearby buildings throwing grenades into rooms and gunning down the occupants, innocent Iraqi men, women and children in cold blood. What caused these men to kill innocents? Was it the heat of battle? No, I would suggest, it is directly linked to the ethos of the elite US Marine Corps. read full story / add a comment

Raymond Devos the Belgian born, French resident & Francophone Cartoonist, Comedian, Political (& national) satirist has died of a brain hemorrhage today. He was a very funny man who's humour & wit crossed borders & langauges. He will be sorely missed. . Everyone who met Raymond Devos liked him. His jokes were both simple & intelligent. He'll be sincerely missed. He made many friends, most of whom will want to attend his sudden funeral. He won lots of important awards for being funny & clever but won't get a state funeral from either France of Belgium. Raymond Devos was in no common sense of the word a popular man. & sincere with it. He rose to acceptance of his extraordinary talent through circus acts & written puns of astounding complexity. In 1956 He worked with Jean Luc Godard on the movie "Pierrot le Fou". read full story / add a comment

A young Irish man is flying to Arizona today (June 15) to begin an amazingly difficult journey of recovery from arthritus that's had him on crutches for almost a decade. His ordeal is being documented, and the film, 'Walking', will completed in 2008. Nothing is more incredible, moving and noteworthy than a person's determination to show the world that he will never give up, will share every experience and- most of all-can recover one hundred per cent when the odds are against him. read full story / add a comment

Ever get the feeling that something is wrong? Our culture conditions us to destroy what is important - and works hard to persuade us there's no alternative. It's time to break the spell. This essay was first published in the May 2006 edition of The Dubliner Magazine. It is an important essay, but is not available elsewhere on the web, so I am posting it here. read full story / add a comment
