I see it's impossible to have a peaceful discussion about peace, even on
Peace-discuss. That's a shame. It's not just the unnecessary and
uncalled for hostility, unpleasant but manageable. But you won't even
argue with me. You put words in my mouth that I never said, and then
you argue with that. That's pointless.<BR><BR>But you've made your
points, and you've made mine as well. When you might have convinced
me, instead you alienated me. I don't know in what school of activism you
learned that tactic, but I question its effectiveness. All you
succeeded in doing is in making me marvel at the lack of mental discipline
required to obtain a Ph.D.<BR><BR>As to the other questions hanging out
there, there are any number of websites you can go to -- freerepublic.com,
redstate.com. I find the stuff too sickening to quote myself, but
you'll see that you fit right in. And yes, I do belong to some groups
here. I would probably belong to yours, if only you weren't in it.<BR>

<DIV>I've thought for a while that the fall-back position of American
liberalism, as it surrendered to the neoliberal onslaught, was a sort of
hysterical anti-racism.<BR>
<DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Walter Benn Michaels argued for something like that in his "The Trouble
with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality"
(2005).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>He refined the argument in subsequent articles. "...Well, I wrote the
book four or five years ago and I know more about it now than I did then. So
yeah, that’s true, the book is in a certain sense a response to what seemed
to me very visible on the surface, but I had much less of a sense of
how that situation came about. One of the things that’s been useful—I know
it’s been useful for me, but I think it’s actually be useful in general for
at least some people on the Left in thinking about these issues—has
been the popularization of the concept of neoliberalism, which has given us
a better ability to periodize the history of capitalism and especially
of events since World War II." - [See more at: <<A

indistinguishable from what I find there. I find that
amazing. And to the extent those blogs remind me of nothing so

<DIV class=yiv8633854770PlainText>[The flyer is attached. Comments
are welcome. The text is as follows.]<BR><BR><BR>The Anti-War
Anti-Racism Effort of Champaign-Urbana (AWARE)<BR><BR>AWARE was
founded immediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001, by
residents of Champaign-Urbana and members of the University of
Illinois, who saw that the U.S. government would use those crimes as
an excuse to carry on and expand its wars for the control of Middle
East energy resources. For a dozen years members and friends of
AWARE have worked to end the killing by informing their fellow
citizens of the real nature of the "war on terrorism," in opposition
to the largest and most sophisticated propaganda campaign in
history, conducted by the Bush and Obama administrations, and
directed at the American people.<BR><BR>Today the U.S. government is
threatening, invading, and occupying countries in a vast circle with
a 2500-mile radius around the Persian Gulf, from north Africa to the
borders of India and China, a region sometimes called the "Greater
Middle East." (The U.S. military calls it "Central Command.") This
region has the world's greatest concentration of oil and natural
gas, and our government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars,
month after month, to control it. Control and not just access to
these energy resources is what our government demands. We in fact
import little of our own oil supplies from the Mideast - most of our
imported oil comes from the western hemisphere, notably Canada and
Venezuela - but control of world energy supplies gives the U.S. an
unparalleled advantage over our economic rivals in Europe and
Asia.<BR><BR>President Obama is killing men, women, and children
around the world to "fight terrorism," he claims, but as Noam
Chomsky explains, “The Obama administration is dedicated to
increasing terrorism ... it’s doing it all over the world. Obama ...
is running the biggest terrorist operation that exists ... The drone
assassination campaigns ... are just part of it; special forces
operations and so on, all of these operations, they are terror
operations.” The U.S. Special Operations Command - in fact a
25,000-member private army run by the president - are American death
squads, who by their own account are operating in more than a
hundred countries around the world. No wonder we are hated in those
countries.<BR><BR>If you object to the Obama administration's
conducting illegal and unjustified war - and lying about the reasons
for it - join us. AWARE meets every Sunday evening 5-6pm at the
White Horse Inn on in Champaign, near the UIUC campus. We discuss
the war and plan activities like the following:<BR>~ Street
demonstrations. For more than a decade AWARE has conducted
demonstrations and distributed information about the war; they now
occur on the first Saturday of every month, 2-4pm, at Main and Neil
Streets in downtown Champaign. All are welcome to join us.<BR>~
Information tables. At the Urbana Farmers' Market and other public
events, like the Sweet Corn Festival and the Taste of Champaign,
AWARE has tables with free printed information on the war and books,
t-shirts, buttons and bumper stickers at cost.<BR>~ Television
programs. AWARE produces a weekly hour of discussion on the war,
"AWARE on the Air," seen Tuesdays at 10pm on Urbana Public
Television <<A
href="http://www.urbanapublictelevision.org/" rel=nofollow
target=_blank>http://www.urbanapublictelevision.org/</A>>. The
program is recorded unrehearsed at noon on Tuesdays in the UPTV
studios. Members and friends of AWARE are invited to attend and
participate in the discussion.<BR>~ Articles in the local media.
Letters to the Editor in the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette and even
the Daily Illini are one of the few ways to join a general political
discussion locally.<BR>~ Demands to elected representatives. People
in Champaign-Urbana are represented in Congress by Senators Dick
Durbin and Mark Kirk, and by Representative Rodney Davis. All three
support the administration's wars and assassinations - and are in
fact urging Obama to expand the killing. You can register your
opinion by calling their Washington DC offices, which can be reached
at 202-224-3121. (Say that you are calling from Illinois' 13th
Congressional District.)<BR>~ Internet presence. AWARE conducts two
email mailing lists, which you can join on the websites: <<A
