If you are thinking about filing a class action suit, find an attorney who understands that if s/he is unable to negotiate a substantial award for each member of the settlement class, that you will insist that the suit be taken to trial; otherwise, you are merely involving yourself in a lawyerly boondoggle in which the lawyers will use your misery to enrich themselves. If your lawyer is not going to get you and your colleagues substantial awards, at least make sure that s/he does not get any either.

An open letter to my American cousins
As an elderly, former university professor, I am deeply anguished whenever I come across shameful academic writing. Such writing not only exposes the inability of the writer but it exhibits the extent of decline in American university teaching and is a symptom of a decadent civilization. Institutions that employ these writers have abandoned the classical educational ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty for belief, greed, and exploitation. And not only Americans but the whole world is paying a horrid price for it.
Nobel? That's No Prize
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, October 22, 2009)Excellent journalism was never a priority of Joseph Pulitzer's, and the prizes reflect it. So does the mainstream press which is yellower than ever in both the conventional journalistic sense and the colloquial sense of cowardly. Even worse, however, are the Nobels. They are almost always given to those committed to Western civilization and Capitalism. So now Obama has gotten the prize. Why was it awarded to him? Because he is a protector of the economic status quo and a hegemonist—a true child of a decadent civilization. The deadly arms manufacturer would be highly pleased.
Obama must be recast as the Hollywood hero
My open letter written to the organizers for Saturday (10/17/2009)'s multi-city march on America's news media
Mortgage Anyone?
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, September 30, 2009)Why are the standard terms for mortgages 15 and 30 years? Could it be because downturns in the American economy have occurred on an average of once every 14.5 years? When a buyer defaults on a loan after paying on it for 14 years, the lender gets the house for free, sells it again, and nets a small fortune or an investment of zero. Wouldn't you like to find a way of doing that?
To date they failing grades on all counts.
Two governments create a unique new precedent-setting human rights abuse for one Tiananmen Square student leader.
Bill Moyers asks the right question. David Frum gives the wrong answer.
Taking into account the unsuccessful 9/11 Commission and the disastrous "War on Terror" aftermath, it is clear that there is a side totally wrong and isolated from the real debate on world terrorism. Far from us having the only answer and being able to close the debate, we analyze the reality inside Afghanistan and find two alternatives to understand what the world is witnessing on "fight on terror". Feel free to choose one option
We have praise for Obama, jeers for Tom Friedman, and we're announcing a press conference and an art exhibit.
Everywhere Arms Races
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, September 12, 2009)Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama claim that both North Korea and Iran must be prevented from developing nuclear capabilities to prevent arms races in North East Asia and the Near East. But the United States of America began the international nuclear arms race more than sixty years ago and has never taken the task of eliminating nuclear weapons seriously. So yes, as ye sow, so shall ye reap! Why should anyone expect otherwise.

Senator Kennedy left behind some work for younger generation(s) of Americans.

Yes We Can or No We Can't?
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, August 15, 2009)America pledges millions to rebuild foreign countries while its own infrastructure is crumbling.
Bernanke was the only cause, I proved, of the Great Recession and probably acted on purpose. He had the knowledge (Bernanke is a renown specialist of The Great Depression he even wrote a book on the subject: Essays on the Great Depression.), the means, motive (The gigantic power he has received thanks to The Great Recession.), and opportunity.
I am truly and genuinely sitting on the fence as I contemplate this decision. Do I support death panels? Or do I support my fellow Americans?
For some reason, I cannot answer or even see any further comments on the original "The rich vs poor fallacy" article, hench this attempt at getting around the website's limitiations.

Michael Jackson Memorial Day
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 8, 2009)Michael Jackson had no peace in life, and it is unlikely that the media will allow him to rest in peace in death. Hell hath no pain greater than that which can be inflicted by media moguls whose only goal is to turn tragedy into orgies of entertainment. This media now feigns honor, but the authentic honor comes only from his fans who displayed true civility and profound humanity during his memorial service, proving once again that true virtue lies only within the hearts of common people.
China has created a massive middle class in a single generation, but it has yet to empower it. American consumers are unconsciously pushing back the clock on that empowerment of the Chinese middle class through their dramatic behavior modification of the past year.
Lawmakers Billing Taxpayers
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 5, 2009)The Congress enacts legislation for itself which provides itself with what are essentially employee benefits. So it treats its members as employees of themselves. In doing so, the Congress provides taxpayer subsidized employee benefits to its members that it refuses to provide to the people Congressmen represent.
ABC’s Nightlie
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 3, 2009)America lacks a mainstream press. What it has is a mainstream cess, as in ‘cesspool.’
Were we really making a change when we replaced the Republicans with the Democrats last year? Uh, no!
Malalai Joya granted an outspoken interview to a Brazilian website, with explosive revelations on US occupation in Afghanistan, totally cut and shamefully modified by the reporter. Bad luck to world mafia: Ms. Joya sent us, exclusively, the original version. We publish "both interviews" here, and analyse how works the tendentious media, down on its knees before this mockery of war on terror. The more time goes by, the more clearly we see the puppets in the Empire. Prepare yourself to cry. Prepare yourself to vomit with us
June 20, 2009 will be a famous day in the history of Iran.
If private insurance companies had any interest or desire to provide Americans with a high-quality healthcare system, it has had half a century to do it and hasn’t. Private industry has no interest in solving social problems. Never has, never will have. It’s only interest is profit. And profit buys no medicine.
Wall Street is quietly cheering and encouraging the moves of a neophyte CEO. You would too, if you controlled the game.
It's 20 years after Tiananmen Square. What happened to America's anti-communism?
The Constitution Party actually makes a mockery of the very thing it is named for. Be warned, everyone!
Is there any hope to Afghanistan? Yes, there is! In the country of the Taliban and so feared warlords, the Afghan hope lies on its combatant men, and on its several brave women. To them our admiration, solidarity and prayer; to Malalai Joya our following words of love - just because she has been giving her life away, after being expelled from the Afghan Parliament for denouncing the warlords - drug traffickers. Joya will never be killed, and her voice will be forever the voice of her people
Just in time for 2009's 20th anniversary of Tiananmen Square's student uprising and bloody suppression, there is released a new book, Standoff At Tiananmen, reviewed here.
If this woman, who won reelection last year by some miracle, is not recalled soon, Minnesota will be laughed at by people for years to come!
The China Support Network calls for the immediate release of Zhou Yongjun.
China cannot credibly announce a human rights breakthrough. In a new report, the Chinese government paints itself as a hero of human rights. We remember otherwise, and say so.
