Notes from the Surf
There's another plug for The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin at http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=anarchy. I really should try to get my hands on a copy of that sometime.
An interesting title for a post at http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=71997: "the Only War Bush is winning is the class war", but too bad the contents aren't as interesting.
The article by Robert Reich at http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/10/18/4654/ is called "Corporations Won’t Lead the Way on Solving Global Warming" - talk about stating something so obvious, is it even worth reading? Well, since the article was short, I read it. Didn't offer anything new.
What the fuck is this shit? http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071017/wl_uk_afp/britainemploymentlanguageoffbeat: "Swearing at work boosts team spirt, morale: research". Interesting article, but researchers must have too much time on their hands these days. =)
"Feminists Have More Fun" - http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20071018/sc_livescience/feministshavemorefun. It's interesting to see how politics affects a person's life and relationships.
From the headline "Man texting while driving hits train" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071017/ap_on_fe_st/odd_texting_crash), it sounded like a case of "Don't try this at home", but it turns out the guy was drunk too, so it's not as silly as advertised.
So the French president got a divorce (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071018/ap_on_re_eu/france_sarkozy). Wasn't his Socialist opponent in the previous election also having marriage problems?
