“This is the first time Craig’s attorneys have raised that issue. However, an earlier friend-of-the-court filing by the American Civil Liberties Union argued that Craig’s foot-tapping and hand gesture under a stall divider at the Minneapolis airport are protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech.”

Not to play tit for tat but where exactly is the right-wing institutional heart of darkness?

Could there ever be something like multinational citizenship?

globalization has caused the very rich to pretty much lose identity with national origin. They care only of their profits, which generally are generated all over the world, not just in one country or area. This is a major impact in the US where bush, the neocons, oil barons, the plutocracy don’t care about screwing the US as long as they get what they want. Bush’s buddy making deals with the kurds that undermine US policy is a case in point.

yeah, so what would be a good counterbalance?

A multinational workers union, a multinational humanitarian group, what else?

Do you have any idea about multinational unions? Could there ever be something like multinational citizenship? Not like having citizenship in more than one country but something more like a citizen of a multinational union.

Marx also saw nationalism as a stage which would ultimately pass away and be replaced by a universal workers paradise. No need for unions, since the workers would be the ones making the decisions. I am not as utopian as Marx, do not really believe in the perfectibility of humanity.

Realistically I’m not a believer of utopia either. Ideally, in so far as I understand Marx, I can see his vision.

I was thinking more in terms on combating or creating a check against multinational corps for when individual nations fail to proper regulate.

The FEMA fake press conference has given significant warning to the citizens of Southern California that this administration is going to continue to be both uncaring and incompetent.

I don’t think they needed the fires to tell them that. It’s pretty telling when you put a federal judge in charge of the Homeland Security Department(that name gives me the creeps).
