Word on the Street. Penniless, not wordless - street-level commentary on the news. Saturday, September 18, 2010. The source of "rights". Are we given rights by God, or by government? Our rights and freedoms are protected. By the U.S. Constitution; they are not bestowed. By the U.S. Constitution. We have them because we were born human, period. Rights pre-exist law, or else law could not be argued to "protect rights" or to "infringe upon rights.". Morality precedes religion. Toddlers say "No FAIR! Long be...

Word on the Street. Penniless, not wordless - street-level commentary on the news. Friday, October 17, 2008. Seattle Raging Grannies support Nickelsville.

So I can't post a photo of today. In substitute, here's a photo of Seattle Raging Grannies singing at the Nickelsville Die-In, our last community rally before raising Nickelsville.

Word on the Street. Penniless, not wordless - street-level commentary on the news. Sunday, June 27, 2010. Bad news; a Real Change vendor tells me that Seattle police chased him out of his encampment last night; "They're chasing everybody off of Queen Anne." He was told if he came back he'd be arrested for criminal trespassing. He saw no trespassing signs, thought he was on public land. At least they waited for him to gather his belongings; they didn't confiscate anything. Posted by Anitra Freeman. As an ...

Word on the Street. Penniless, not wordless - street-level commentary on the news. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Why I won't vote for Ron Paul. Some of Ron Paul's positions - like opposition to the war in Iraq, the War on Drugs, and the Patriot Act - appeal strongly to liberals and conservatives alike, and many internet activists have flocked to him as a candidate that can bring a real revolution to Washington. Government using force to tell a woman what she can do with her own body, not. Overrides state...
