BALTIMORE INDYMEDIA ARTICLES
"Locals Protest 'Vulture Capitalists' and the Iraqi War"
By William Hughes (4/4/07)
On March 19, 2007, the Baltimore City Council unanimously approved a
Resolution condemning the Iraqi War, the lies that got us into it, George
W. Bushs Surge, and demanded the troops be safely withdrawn from that
conflict. That same night, a Peace Rally was held at St. Vincent de Paul
RC Church. The Rev. Heber Brown III said: Its time for us to raise hell
for peace in our churches.

"Affirmative Action and the Quest for Democracy"
By Robert E. Birt
Michigan's recent ban on affirmative action is inspiring similar ballot
initiatives in several other states, and this should be of deep concern to
every citizen with a democratic social conscience. Coppin State University
Humanities Professor Robert Birt argues that until U.S. citizens are ready
to radically democratize the entire social order, we have a moral duty to
defend and strengthen those limited achievements of reform.

By William Hughes (2/10/07)
The award-winning author of the acclaimed HBO program, The Wire, painted
a grim picture of this country. David Simon said: Were headed [towards]
separate Americas. Speaking at Loyola College, in Baltimore, MD, on Feb.
6, 2007, he said that unencumbered Capitalism has become our God. In our
greedy society, Simon underscored: Human are worth less, not more: less.
He said America is going to be a more brutish, cynical and divided
place."

"India's Boundless Ambitions"
By Martine Bulard
The United States recently attended the Aero India defence show, hoping to
profit from Indias hunger for military equipment; it wants to make India
a counterweight to China. The relationship between China, India and the US
is ill-defined; in a region that bristles with weapons, India also will
have to contend with Japan and Russia. Martine Bulard discusses recent
developments in India which has decided to throw in its lot with the
United States for pragmatic reasons .
