Jul 14 | We The Sheeple A page about criminal justice. Pretty great. I love the word Sheeple. "We The Sheeple is a New York City based criminal justice bulletin board produced by individuals concerned about activities and changes within our judicial system. Our view is that professional misconduct is commonplace, and that fundamental constitutional and human rights are being steadily eroded in the names of law and order, the war on crime, and the war on drugs. We believe these cases and issues are rarely reported in media or language accessible to the average person. Our goal is to encourage criminal justice reform by describing select cases in plain English."» |

Preparedness: The Road to Universal Slaughter An essay by Emma Goldman about getting ready for war, which always comes before war. "The pathos of it all is that the America which is to be protected by a huge military force is not the America of the people, but that of the privileged class; the class which robs and exploits the masses, and controls their lives from the cradle to the grave. No less pathetic is it that so few people realize that preparedness never leads to peace, but that it is indeed the road to universal slaughter."» |
