"WHEN THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO... YOU STAND IN SOLIDARITY AND SING"

Not long after our last edition
was published, we began to add late-breaking news that Notre Dame in Paris was on fire. We made several late additions and they included coverage that beat most corporate Big Media sources in both timeliness and content. 

We brought our readers the perspective of structural engineers and fire investigators long before mainstream media's gasping and gawking gave way to asking meaningful questions. 

We continued to cover the story for the first twenty-four hours after the fire first broke out (until Big Media finally began to catch-up). All our coverage of that first 24 hours is still there, if you'd like to go back, have a look, and judge for yourself:

As the singing continued, instrumentalists joined the
gathering. Shocked Parisians and tourists found
comfort and camaraderie joining in song.
Here, we want to reprint a tiny portion of that coverage. It's the part about the healing power of music -- and that makes it something for every time, every circumstance. Here it is.

Dan Rather wrote on Twitter, "Why has the burning of Notre Dame moved so many? Because we believe in beauty, majesty, faith, art, history, and the human expressions thereof. We recognize in this cathedral our common humanity. A scar now emerges in our connections to our past, our future, and each other."

A group of Parisians sang hymns in French as they watched the 800-year-old Notre Dame cathedral burning in the distance, and, as "The Daily Good" notes, "it is tragically beautiful."

Watch that video in their article, at: 

https://www.upworthy.com/a-tragically-beautiful-video-captures-parisians-singing-hymns-as-they-watch-notre-dame-burn

They conclude, "When there's nothing you can do but watch something beautiful burn, you stand in solidarity and sing. It's what humans do and have always done.

"Hearts all over the world are with you, Paris. Vive la Notre Dame."

Memorial Day 2019: a Challenging Perspective

by Lawrence Wines  It really bothers me that "honoring the service of our veterans" has become a door-opener for lemming-like support of the warconomy. Memorial Day was devised as a way to support widows and orphans of Union dead from the Civil War. By extension, because we keep having wars and so many people show-up to get killed in them, Memorial Day continued its purpose to honor the fallen of all our wars. That's not meant to diminish recognition of the necessity of military response to global fascism in the Second World War, when the outcome would determine what kind of world we would have. Nor can we be deluded into believing that valor, bravery, and sacrifice were unique to that war. Those human traits can be found in every generation, and we should recognize how problematic that is: because battlefield sacrifices are made, at terrible cost, in all manner of conflicts that influence nothing greater than which group of rich manipulators will be given the upper ha...
