Thank God for the Internet! The seeds of truly free speech are still
bearing fruit! As things go, those who fight for progressive movements,
generally get ignored by the information shapers on this planet. I don't buy the carnard that there is any such thing as a "liberal media". The information systems that exist on any sizable scale are, by and large, multinational corporate enterprises who will purport to espouse any cause that suits their purposes of the moment. There's also that other bunch -bigots and control freaks from all over the world- who frequently (but not always) wrap themselves behind Articles of Faith while trying to blast the rest of us back into a Psychic/Spiritual/Social Dark Ages 'cause they think (in general-but they don't include themselves) that humanity has not yet suffered enough. Forthwith, some sites that are progressive, even radical. I agree with some, not with others. But these voices need to be heeded.
