THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Could Barack Obama defeat McCain in Arizona?

Merrill said in the last poll taken by KAET-TV and the Cronkite School, McCain held a seven point lead over Obama.

However, Merrill says, the poll was conducted before the economic crisis unfolded. He expects the financial meltdown to shrink McCain's lead in Arizona by two to three points.

"I think McCain is still ahead," said Merrill. "But it could be as little as four points. It's a lot closer than people think."

Merrill claims the two population groups that will make the difference in Arizona are hispanics and voters under the age of 30.

"If they turn out in this election, it's clear it is possible McCain could lose this state," said Merrill.
