Is There a Technology Resistance?
by Peter Crabb   
13 November 2009
The driving force behind the anthropogenic destruction of Planet Earth is locked inside our skulls. Neuroscientists are just beginning to identify the neural networks of the Technological Mind, but one thing is certain: the irresistible impulse to use tools is the product of natural selection over the last 1.5 million years, and so it is probably more deeply ingrained than even our impulse to use language.

Brown Shirt Tactics & Health Care Reform

09 August 2009
When what's now called the "Brooks Brother's Brigade" disrupted the Florida presidential vote count in 2000, I realized that I'd read about similar incidents — both in Nazi Germany and in Fascist Italy. Hitler and Mussolini used organized mobs to disrupt democratic processes as they rose to power.
