    Today, the United Nations Security Council is holding consultations on the future of Haiti. No Haitian individuals or organizations will be present at the meeting.

  • The Only Thing Evil Can’t Stand is Forgiveness

    “Do you know what forgiveness means? It’s a decision we make to release a person from the feelings of anger we have against them.” These are the words of Fred Rogers. Yeah, as in “Mister Rogers.” You know what else Fred said? Try this on for size: “The only thing evil can’t stand is forgiveness.” […]

  • Politicians and the Anzac Tradition

    While the mass slaughtering of, and slaughter by, soldiers, is always a touchy subject of commemoration, a tension has existed between those who did the fighting, and those who ordered it.

  • Aggression, Guns, and Marcuse

    Better not knock on the wrong door or drive into the wrong driveway, you may get shot. Kids are afraid to go to school for fear of getting killed, as the body count from mass shootings climbs every day. Hate crimes are increasing, and just driving to work is potentially dangerous. Think of tailgaters honking […]

    Two cornerstones of democracy—freedom of expression and freedom of information—are under concerted attack, in the United States and around the world.
