Yo Joe! Fighting for music freedom.
Downhill Battle - music activism
This continues to be one of the most exciting web sites to visit ... for several reasons: itunesperipod.com, Christians for filesharing, iTunes without the program, phenominal activist store and for a protest that spread some great music around greytuesday.org.
Let's hope the commonsense notion that a faceless corporation shouldn't absolutely control music meets some real-world legal standing. Downhill Battle is a great start.

David Cay Johnston - Another reason flat tax is a horrible idea
David Cay Johnston - A BuzzFlash Interview
"If we enacted the Steve Forbes flat tax plan, Steve Forbes would never pay taxes again for the rest of his life. Under the flat tax plan, anyone who is an inheritor of great business assets -- not financial assets, business assets; that is, someone who owns a company, not someone who owns stock in a publicly traded company -- would no longer have to pay taxes just so long as their lifetime consumption was less than the value of those assets on the day they began paying taxes under the Forbes flat tax. And it would heavily shift the burden of taxes off of high-income people and people who have asset incomes, and onto people who have those capital incomes and people who have labor incomes. "
