In a period of mass unemployment in 1920's Germany fascism came to power despite not only the presence of mass Communist and Social Democratic parties but also of significant anti-fascist street fighting. Why did the left fail and what was the attraction of fascism. What about fascist movements today, do they represent a similar threat? Can we even agree a single definition of what fascism is? read full story / add a comment

I've always fancied a brief chat with an official in an out of the way registry office, while some think it needs an Elvis impersonator in a church in a Las Vegas. Others like hotels, marquees, beaches in the Maldives, even on the wings of a plane- but I don't think anyone can beat closing a petrol station with your wedding vows.

They even used D-Locks on the pumps instead of rings!

Others are starting to see something profound emerging; a re-awakening, an eruption of activity, new and intelligent ways of human interaction. Ecologist Paul Hawken sees this phenoman as "the immune system of humanity finally kicking in" and calls it Blessed Unrest.

As another bubble in all this, yesterday saw the first of 25 days of the first "Global Eco Forum"... read full story / add a comment

Misrepresenting Animal Rights: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
