...moving it forward at a snail's pace, a vote for the left-of-center Barak is construed as a vote for accelerating peace negotiations. However, this kernel of electoral wisdom may not have basis in actuality. If elected, Netanyahu will almost certainly make the concessions necessary for peace, albeit grudgingly.

...public hearings when Arcata's city council--composed of two Green Party members, a Libertarian and two Democrats--approved Brown's ID system. That's to be expected, perhaps, in a town that has declared itself a "Nuclear Weapons Free Zone"; that in 1991 passed a resolution--albeit quickly rescinded--offering sanctuary to Persian Gulf War resisters; and where students from Humboldt State University hold an annual Hempfest, promoting a nonpsychoactive form of cannabis for use in clothing, paper and food...
