It's all about peace and justice. Anti-war, yes, but more than that. It is about thinking for yourself, deinstutionalzing, taking the military out of the hands of corrupt leader. Together we can make it happen.
The Progressive Daily Beacon: "Poll: The People Really, Really, Really Despise Mister Bush and Republicans":
Only 25 percent of those surveyed said things in the United States were going in the right direction, according to an AP-Ipsos poll conducted this month. That is about the lowest level of satisfaction detected since the survey started in December 2003.

Growing Crops for Fuel: Thanksgiving in the Gas Tank - 7 - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News:
"Although the Germans are already approaching this goal, European-wide production lies at barely one-fifth of the target value.
