Fòrum Social Llibertari - Saló del Llibre Anarquista (Oct 17 2003 16:45 GMT) - Cap Govern, de dretes com esquerres, pot ni vol posar en dubte el capitalisme. Cap Govern, ni avui o demà, ens assegurarà contra els acomiadaments, l'extensió de la precarietat, els salaris de misèria, els atacs contra la protecció social, el desmantellament dels serveis públics, les polítiques tranquil·litzadores i racistes. |

Discrepancies to worry about (Oct 17 2003 16:44 GMT) - On a mailing list, Kim Alexander points us to an article in the UK Independent about voting machines: Something very odd happened in the mid-term elections in Georgia last November. On the eve of the vote, opinion polls showed Roy Barnes, the incumbent Democratic governor, leading by between nine and 11 points. In a somewhat closer, keenly watched Senate race, polls indicated that Max Cleland, the popular Democrat up for re-election, was ahead by two to five points against his Republican challenger, Saxby Chambliss. Those figures were more or less what political experts would have expected in state with a... |

With Friends Like These... (Oct 17 2003 16:44 GMT) - Haley Barbour, the Republican candidate for governor of Mississippi, should know to stay away from racist groups, but apparently there's a constituency for it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be there. Chris Lawrence has been all over this "White Collar Klan" scandal since before it was a scandal. See here, here, here, here, here and here. |

Bf - dev stream oddness (Oct 17 2003 16:43 GMT) - If you have been using the development stream of BottomFeeder, and have tried using the new global filter capability, you may have seen some odd behavior. If you set the filter such that only new items showed up, and then deleted that filter - none of your old items came back. I made a mistake in the filter redefinition code such that I wasn't accurately resetting the filters. I had at least one report of "disappearing feeds", and then I saw the problem myself. The latest dev feed fixes the problem - if you have disappearing feed items, define a new global filter, save it, then delete the global filter, and save that - after grabbing the update. |

Medical Marijuana (Oct 17 2003 16:43 GMT) - SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court handed a major victory Tuesday to the nine states that allow the medical use of marijuana, refusing to let the federal government punish doctors for recommending pot to their ill patients. If a medically trained doctor thinks marijuana is the best treatment for their patient's condition, then I believe it should be precscribed. Morphine and Demerol are controlled substances that are much more addictive (and also abused). |

In Jail Because We Failed (Oct 17 2003 16:41 GMT) - New at Reason: Can Rush Limbaugh be a hypocrite if he only abused a Schedule 2 drug? After all, any slob can be addicted to crack, but it takes class to get hooked on pills. While we wait for the rest of the shoes to drop, Jacob Sullum considers the case for prosecuting the king of talk with his own words. |
