Later this morning I’ll listen to National Public Radio’s reading of the United States’ 20th reading of our Declaration of Independence. I’ll probably be moved to tears again, both in joy at what was created for us and in sadness at how we seem to be losing it with little complaint. I invite you to […]
Graeme Neill, who blogs for UK-based theBookseller.com has a post today called: Author Sinha in hunger strike
The story is about Idera Sinha, author of novels the Animal’s People and The Death of Mr.Love, who began a hunger strike on 10th June in an attempt to bring American industrial company Dow Chemical to court in India […]
As conservative commentators (I’m not thinking quit that nicely) continue to insist all mainstream media has a “liberal bias,” media as we know it has been and continues to be consolidated at what I consider an alarming rate. Under the guise of the mythical free market and deregulation, newspapers are now owned by corporations far […]
Daniel Horgan who not only writes for USA Today and other newspapers, but reads this blog, has written a great article called: Dr Seuss’ Lorax’s plea: Stop cutting trees! He’s also got some pages over at Hub. I’m looking forward to his blog!
This is a great example of what I think of as writer’s power […]
Today, mother’s day has become a commercial venture, replete with over priced and unsustainable cut flowers, mountains of cards printed on non-recycled paper and questionable gifts. But it wasn’t started that way.
Mother’s Day creator Julia Ward Howe, who also wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” wrote the following proclamation, in part as a response […]
Among writers who self-publish, print on demand companies and even political sites like The Huffington Post, the ruckus over Amazon’s decision to force self-publishers to use their print on demand services in order to be sold through Amazon using their Buy Now button continues to grow, as it should.
Angela Hoy, over at Writer’s Weekly, basically […]
Today, the United States remembers Dr. and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., mostly for his huge influence on making racial segregation illegal. His “I have a dream speech” is, perhaps, the most recognizable. You can listen to it here and read it here. A search on his name will bring up more.
One of the things […]
Michael Stelzner who blogs at Writing White Papers asked those of us who made his Top 10 Blogs For Writers for our favorite post of 2007. I struggled a bit then realized my favorite was the publishing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence on July 4th.
Of course, it’s not about writing, but it’s one of […]
“Net Neutrality” is one of those terms we hear from time-to-time. I was reminded of it today when I clicked on WorkBoxers Net Neutrality Links 11-24-2007, but I ended up being more confused than ever.
A search led me to Google’s Guide to Net Neutrality – good start, but the definitions are still squishy. But, […]
I just learned about the oil spill in San Francisco Bay. My heart is breaking because I lived on the bay for 16 years in a wee houseboat in Sausalito at a low-income housing marina called Galilee Harbor. I was actually cruising in the South Pacific when the Exxon Valdez went aground in Prince William […]
