History, Organized Labor, Current Events, Reading , Writing, Carpentry, Hating Wal-Mart and the Nation it represents. The eternal search for truth and beauty. The search for G-d ( who I am still convinced lives in a warehouse in the west end of London) And yeah ........ like that
“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.†- Howard Zinn
Indie and documentary freak in general. Control Room ( about Al-Jazeera during the war in Iraq is a must see for all!) Harlan County USA ( You think being a union member is easy? Watch this, It may seem old, but it is still a daily struggle) Grey Gardens ( This is a classic! Gave birth to the modern archetype of old ladies in large houses who eat cat food, and of course have a million cats.) Chickenhawk (a very creepy doc about pedophiles and the founders of NAMBLA, you know that guy who you think might be a child molester? Well if he looks and acts like these guys, chances are he is!) Brothers Keeper ( What can you say about a man found murdered in the bed he shares with his brother and evidence of a sex crime is found?)Pi, Requiem for a Dream,Donnie Darko, Fight club,Dark City, The Tesseract,Apolcalypse Now, The Secretary .. This list is endless
the drug of a nation ....Not surprisingly I guess, The History Channel ( though I mostly just end up barking things at it). I am a fan of MythBusters though ....
not enough time in life for this list .... Yukio Mishima Gabriel Garcia Marquez Yasunari Kawabata Franz Kafka and more Bios than I you can shake a nightlight at Special Mention for Christopher Moore, it may not be literature, but anything that can make me laugh out loud is pretty damned good. I also enjoy a lot of crap,but The Da Vinci Code was,is, and will always be crap, its badly written and mostly stolen and that it is a non-stop best seller makes me weep for Amerika .....
Connolly, James, 1870–1916, Irish nationalist and socialist. An advocate of revolutionary syndicalism, he went (1903) to the United States, where he helped to organize the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Returning to Ireland, he became an organizer of the Belfast dock workers. He helped James Larkin to organize the Irish Transport and General Workers Union and, during the great lockout of the Dublin transport workers in 1913, organized a citizen army. Convinced that the triumph of Irish nationalism was a prerequisite for the success of Irish socialism, he joined the Easter Rebellion of 1916. He was wounded, court-martialed, and executed.
