CHARTER FOR COMPASSION
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human...

My case reveals insincerity of human rights commitments by the U.S. By Maher Arar, December 9, 2009 Dec. 10 is Human Rights Day, but any gestures the United States makes in commemoration will come across as hollow to me. A few weeks ago, seven federal judges told me I had no way to seek justice in American courts for being sent by U.S. officials to be tortured in Syria, where...

Veterans Day
While we all enjoy a day off, warm in our homes, with our families, let us remember the soldiers who have fought on our behalf, defending this nation with their life, and trusting this nation to respect their lives. This country, however, has not always done that. Young boys and girls enlist, hoping to defend what is great, and what has, as they thought, allowed them to live free lives, and end up...
11/6/09- Critical Pedagogy.
Well, today was a great discussion. A third of the club and half of the social studies department got together and shared materials given to us by Mr. Drouin. These teachers not only have great ideas, a streak of generosity-allowing us their rooms and guiding us toward better thinking with complex issues- but the materials they make available to us is just great. Plus, all of them approach things...

Is this America? →
This is an example of the United States using military force to silence free speech. It is imperative that we spread this sight around, and build the sentiment that this is NOT okay in OUR country.

Romell Broom and the Barbarism of the Death Penalty
By Matthew Rothschild, September 17, 2009
You want to know how barbaric the death penalty is? Ask Romell Broom. The convicted rapist and murderer was brought into the execution chamber at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility on Tuesday. But the executioners could not manage, over the course of two hours, to get the IVs in right...

The Unites States and Socialism
The American government works in partnership with the richest among us to ensure that our nation’s wealth remains in the hands of a select and privileged few. This wealth could be shared by its people and used to aid the poor, the sick and the hungry across the world. Instead, the wealth is used to line the pockets of wall street investors and corporate CEOs more concerned with...

Operation Iraqi Freedom?
“Out, America, out!
“No No Americans.”
Pull your troops from our Basra, we are its sons and want its sovereignty.”
“America has left! Baghdad is victorious!”

Iraqi Liberation...from the U.S... finally
‘“I will feel my freedom and liberation when I don’t see an American stopping an Iraqi on the street,” said Baghdad resident Awatef Jwad. “’
yes, its a complex issue, but the bottom line is, we were not wanted there. We moved in to shove our scheme down their throats, and force them to trade with us. Ya maybe we protected some people in the city and...

Darfur
Darfur NEEDS our attention.
We cant sit here and watch as genocide takes place, and moves to the congo.
We have aid, and can raise more money.
This cant be, “oh, i feel bad for ‘them’”,
this needs action,
and activism.
We said never again,
let us live up to that.
What I Want
I want a government that guarantees equality in the eyes of the law. That rebuilds a damaged economy from the bottom up, rather than from the top down. That acts in the interest of all its citizens. That uses its wealth in the name of human interests rather than political ones, home and abroad. That protects its people without posing a threat to the world at large. That gives voice to the concerns...
