If you want government to intervene domestically, you're
a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas,
you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene
everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government
to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist.

| "Anyone
can tweet, but the truth is, sometimes speech can be
criminal," said John Burkoff, a professor at the
University of Pittsburgh School of Law… during
the G-20 summit, state police arrested two New York
men for using Twitter to inform protesters in Pittsburgh
about the movements of local officers.

| TUESDAY,
OCTOBER 13, 7PM: Activist San Diego Film Series Presents...,
Mickey Mouse Monopoly Where: Queen Bee Art & Cultural
Center 3925 Ohio St., San Diego. Continuing our critical
look at the effects of entertainment media on the way
we view the world, problems in it and our relationship
to them, ASD presents Mickey Mouse Monopoly. This film
gives an in-depth look at how Disney can shape some
of our most formative years giving us a picture of the
world not colored and shaped by equality and justice
but often white supremacy, patriarchy and classist consumerism.
Mickey Mouse Monopoly will provoke audiences to confront
comfortable assumptions about an American institution
that is virtually synonymous with childhood pleasure.
