Barry Commoner 2 years ago
September 30th, 2012 - OVER 2 Years ago. We lost Barry Commoner at the age of 95:

I remember when he thought that Solar Power would begin at the outposts of the military.
Odd to find out that he is already dead.

Damn right he is.

Check out Joe Cocker and Leon Russell performing "The Letter" live on Youtube. I also like Joe's cover of "She came in the Bathroom Window"

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Re: Ed Brooke, 95
And would be so far to the left today that he probably couldn't get elected as a Democrat. He was a Rockefeller Republican, part of the Liberal Republican Party, but even Goldwater would be too far left for today's Republicans.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
