Geocaching: How technology can bring us closer to nature
Friday, March 12, 2010

Last month, the religion and ethics newsweekly by PBS published an item by my good friend Richard Hague entitled “Wired out of Creation.” In the piece, Hague cites apparently disturbing facts about how much time the modern teenager spends plugged into technology, and he wonders what this does to the next generation’s relationship with the natural world. He gives compelling examples of how devices and gizmos distract our already distractible youth.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

In CityBeat’s latest edition Kevin Osborne recognizes the efforts of the Beacon’s own Dean of Cincinnati in bringing multi-lingual signage to Fountain Square, our city’s front door step.

UC Historian Uncovers Lost History of ‘Tri-racial Army’ Experiment in the Civil War
Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Here’s an interesting Civil War secret. According to this “Blacks, whites and Indians all fought together as one, winning the key battle of the Civil War in Indian Territory in 1863 by routing a Confederate force twice their size.” “Race & Radicalism in the Union Army” tells the story of a fighting unit made up of white disciples of John Brown, runaway black slaves and displaced American Indians who subverted Confederate adventurism into what later became Oklahoma near the war’s front in the summer of 1863.

The New Jim Crow & The Age of Obama as a Racial Nightmare
Thursday, March 11, 2010

A new book by legal scholar and civil rights advocate Michelle Alexander argues that although Jim Crow laws have been eliminated, the racial caste system it set up was not eradicated. It’s simply been redesigned, and now racial control functions through the criminal justice system.

Corporate Democrats get more corporate dough than Republicans
Monday, April 07, 2008

They say, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”. The Wall Street Journal reports that Big business is bypassing McCain. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that of the 7 major industries that reliably support Republicans, all have given more to Clinton and Obama, except for 1. And even that 1 is a close call. The defense industry and the health industry have given much more to the Democrats.

Black Box Voting on Chain of Custody
Sunday, March 16, 2008

Editor’s Note: The material below is from Black Box voting. The issue reminded us of an old video we captured with Stephan Skirtz. He made waves in the 2004 blogosphere when he captured a photograph of a red pickup truck with a George W. Bush bumper sticker, and a guy handling uncounted ballots in a dark parking lot with no one around.
