I'd like to say... sorry for the lengthy time since I last updated the front page news. (Been busy)
I'l like to say... welcome to our newest writer for the site. (Algernon)
I'd like to say... a HUGE THANK YOU to my friend Mike in San Francisco who has been keeping the external articles up to date. That has REALLY helped me get back on track a lot. (thanks MarsDaddy-o)
I'd like to say... congratulations to Dr. Niman for having had one of his articles selected as one of the top 10 most underreported stories of 2002. Thanks again for letting us reprint your articles.
I'd like to say... way to go, to another one of our writers, chuck richardson, who now has his own site going. ( http://www.NiagaraBuzz.com )
I'd like to say... Welcome back to all of the college students who read this site from school, welcome to anyone that's new to the site, thanks to everyone who visits the site, and thanks even more if you leave feedback on the articles or in the forums.

Okay, I'm going to try to remember all of the upgrades I've made to the website saince the last update:
* I just now added links on the Feedback forum so that now you can see and click on the editorial or report that the message is in response to. And oh by the way thanks very much to anyone who has left feedback on any of our editorials or reports. That really helps inspire us to write more when someone reads and comments on what we've written.
* I upgraded the forums so that the 'Recent Posts' bar along the right column of the website updates as soon as you post now. It used to take a while to refresh itself, now it updates instantly.
* I never formally introduced our two newest Editorialists, Feyler & Wanblee. They've both been writing for the site for months now actually, but they've recently been officially added.
* I added some stuff at the bottom of the about page.
* I finished making the main pages more uniform.
* The pages for each of the Editorialists are now more complete and hooked up to a database so that we can add more info about ourselves.
* I added a new forum for Cut & Paste messages called Paste it Forward. If anything corporate related or environment related shows up in your email and you want to help spread the word about it, that's what the new forum is for.
Okay, I think that's it. Thanks for checking out the site, and please leave some feedback in the forums. Thanks.

I've been updating the graphics and adding new features most of the day today. The graphics are a bit smaller now and should load faster, and they look better. I think they look better anyway.
There's a new Reading List section. So you can get some recommendations on some good books.
The Editorialists section has been way updated and I'll be updating it more tonight. We've had a lot of great Editorials lately and now you can glance down the list and see them all more easily.
A lot of the main pages hadn't been updated in a very long time so I'm trying to bring all of the main pages up to date. So now the site will match a bit better fromm page to page.
Feyler has suggested that I add an index of corporations and so I'll be working on adding data to all of the articles and everything so that I can make a big corporate index and make this site more useful and easier to navigate. I'll be working on a what's new page too once I finish adding date information to everything. Then someday, somehow I'm going to actually find some time to write more editorials. I have a good idea for one now.

Welfare to Wal-Mart
by Niman
May.12.2005
Americans are junkies. We're addicted to consumerism. We're addicted to things--and China is our main supplier. China is the man. In 2004, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, we imported a whopping $197 billion worth of goods from China, and exported $35 billion worth of goods to them, chalking up an I.O.U. for $161 billion in the process. China is the main supplier feeding our consumer habit, but Wal-Mart, according to the Congressional Committee on Education and the Workforce, is China's biggest street pusher, responsible for slinging up to one eighth of the Chinese goods sold in the United States. If Wal-Mart were a country, it would be China's seventh largest trade partner.

Weird Corporate Behavior
by Niman
Mar.04.2006
It all started just before Christmas when an armed police officer barred
my spouse, a 40-year-old sociology professor, from leaving the Regal
Elmwood Theater. If she wanted to continue walking the 10 yards to the
exit door, the officer informed her, she would have to pull down her
hood until she was outside. Or she could be arrested. Of course the
pulling down the hood part goes against everything our mothers taught us
about winter attire—that we put on our mittens and hoods before we go
out into the cold. But the man giving the order had a gun and
represented the power of the state.

Extreme Hypocrisy: The Sex Lives of Republicans
by Niman
May.27.2005
In early November of 2004 I wrote about George W. Bush's first post-reelection appointment - his selection of anti-abortion activist Dr. W. David Hager to head the FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee. This was the same Dr. Hager who wrote that women suffering from PMS need only to turn to the bible for help. In his private practice he refused to prescribe birth control medication to unmarried women. As a Republican political activist Hager opposed the sale of birth control drugs he identified as abortifacients. In essence, by putting an avowed opponent of reproductive health in charge of reproductive health drugs, Bush followed suit on his four-year track record of putting wolves in charge of hen houses.
