Tom McKenzie: May 2008 Archives

The LA Times printed a heart wrenching page with 492 California war casualties listed on it. This kind of document Legislators should waive in their fists in the Congressional halls tomorrow. When will this madness stop?
Accompanying the list was a story about Riverside National Cemetery, the busiest cemetery in the Country for soldiers who aren't making it back from Iraq and Afghanistan alive. May they rest in peace.
I'd like to encourage some traffic at the site they put together: http://projects.latimes.com/wardead/

Yo it's May Day!

Ports have shut from LA to Um Quasr in opposition to the wars. Workers are in the streets. Philly had its first May Day celebration in years.
I just wanted to share this message from my friend in Basra:

MAY DAY greetings to you , to all workers and labor movement.

Our hops for peace ,social justice, dignity and human rights for all people.
