Haiti: an imperial victim

Author: The Editorial Group

February 01, 2010

Good ol' boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
Cover-to-cover
That ain't what's going on
Journalism's dead and gone
Frail grasp on the big picture

Author: John Quinn

February 01, 2010

Cathy Cavanagh comments on the violent conclusion, "The movie does eventually bow to the narcissistic needs of the North American viewer. When peaceful resistance fails, the Na'Vi rise up and fight (sigh)." But is "sigh" sufficient?

Living Life At The Deepest Level
Dick Westley reflects on "living in the Spirit"
The third in a series

Author: Dick Westley

February 01, 2010

Dick Westley argues today: "Clearly, human love is what matters, there can be no true spirituality without it. A moment's reflection on our lives reveals to us that the way the Holy Spirit works in our lives is precisely through "human" love. Through human love the Spirit breaks the strangle-hold of individualism on our lives and links us to one another. ... By linking us all together, Spirit ultimately links us to God. It is through the work of Spirit in our lives that our isolation ends and we become joined to one another and subsequently to God. That is the central message of Catholicism/Christianity."
