One of the main reasons we don't have Universal, Comprehensive Health
Care...or a clean environment...among other things.

If any elements of the corporate media have been paying any attention to
what's been happening on the streets of Pittsburgh over the past few
days I haven't noticed, so I thought I'd write my own account.

There is a popular assumption asserted ad nauseum by our leaders in
government, by our school text books and by our "mainstream" media that
although many other countries don't have freedom of speech and freedom of
assembly - such as Iran or China - we do, and it's what makes us so great.
Anybody who has spent much time trying to exercise their First Amendment rights
in the US now or at any other time since 1776 knows first-hand that the First
Amendment looks good on paper but has little to do with reality.
