Drug Probe On Great-grandmother With Artificial Sweetener
Drug Probe on Great-Grandmother With Artificial Sweetener
Small white tablets in 72-year-old Marilyn Gordon's purse triggered authorities to question her about possessing cocaine. It turned out only to be artificial sweetener for tea she drinks. The former school teacher and magistrate was hassled further.
Police also suspected her of credit card fraud when they noticed a card with a name other than hers was in her purse as well. They soon discovered it was her daughter's, and had it only to deposit money for her. Furious at it all, she had no comment.
It started when she lost her purse, but was found and turned in. Her daughter Fiona Smith said "My mother told me the police conducted a test on the tablets to see if they were drugs, and apparently, they reckoned it proved positive for cocaine."

The crisis of modern democracy is a profound one. Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market has reduced them to commodities available on sale to the highest bidder.

The era of manufacturing consent has given way to the era of manufacturing news. Soon media newsrooms will drop the pretense, and start hiring theater directors instead of journalists.

The structure of capitalism is flawed. The motor that powers it cannot but vastly increase the disparity between the poor and the rich globally and within countries as well. Parecon is a brave argument for replacing that flawed machine and offers a much needed -- more equitable, democratic, participatory -- alternative economic vision.

[The choice between John Kerry and George Bush] is not a real choice. It's an apparent choice. Like choosing a brand of detergent. Whether you buy Ivory Snow or Tide, they're both owned by Proctor & Gamble.

Dr. Hermann Oberth who pioneered rocket design for the German Reich during World War II and later advanced rocket technology for the American manned space launches, cryptically stated: "We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped."
When asked by whom, he replied: "The people of other worlds."
