    Privatized incarceration facilities with incentives to keep people locked up, and influencing the CJ system to maintain profits is also an issue. There are numerous cases of busine…

    There is an excellent book on birds called The Birds of Pandemonium, by Michele Raffin. I read it some years ago, and recall it being fascinating and beautifully written. Really ga…

    Wow, the criticism of his "Faces of Affiction" work is spot on. From his Istanbul post: > Because being an addict here is an ugly and gross rebellion against a town that feels like…

    There's something about underground infrastructure that really intrigues me, despite how claustrophobic it can feel if I start thinking about what lies above. I find it really inte…

    Bleak, but also hilarious the lengths the fossil fuel industry will be defended and coddled- almost as astounding as the people who refuse to understand how the greenhouse effect w…
