	 <description><![CDATA[by WIP News Service As the concrete dries on 'beautified' intersections, created with taxpayer money that could have and should have been spent on building affordable housing, the Olympia City Council is wasting no time in waging its continued war on the poor. The council is pushing through OMC 10.16.030 which will make it illegal to park an RV on any street in the city limits. And they are doing so, not surprisingly, at the cloaked behest of the Downtown Business Association (ODA), and without a public hearing on the issue.]]></description>

	 <description><![CDATA[by Janet Blanding The controversy over development on the isthmus is heating up, with battle lines being drawn and opponents facing off at public forums, in the Letters to the Editor section of the Olympian, on the internet, and with signs, stickers and pamphlets distributed around town. In one corner is the developer, Triway Enterprises, along with his allies the current City Council, the Olympian, and the “grass roots citizens group,” Oly2012. In the other corner is Friends of the Waterfront, led by former Olympia Mayor Bob Jacobs, the Washington State Capitol Campus Design Advisory . . .]]></description>

         <title>The Refugee Hypocrisy of Western Countries</title>
         <link>http://www.olywip.org/site/page/article/2008/07/08.html</link>
	 <description><![CDATA[By Marco Rosaire Rossi The creation of Israel in the Middle East was not only one of the greatest destabilizing events in the region’s modern history, but was also one of the greatest examples of Western refugee hypocrisy. While the anti-Semitic fervor was growing in the early half of the twentieth century, the majority of Europe countries were unwilling to open up their doors to Jewish refugees looking to escape persecution. In effect, Palestine – under British mandate at the time – became the Jews’ only safe haven. Between 1920 and 1929, 100,000 Jews entered Palestine. The next decade, 1930 . . .]]></description>

	 <description><![CDATA[by Jami Williams In a recent issue of Works In Progress, Peter Bohmer's article "Reflections on May Day 2008" emphasized his position on a message supposedly lost at the expense of graffiti artists and rock throwers. Also emphasized was the claim that these things were done self-servingly and on behalf of building a thunder-stealing Black Bloc movement. This response is addressed to not only Peter Bohmer but anyone who has ever made claim to a moral high ground or strategic ethicality to achieve a saturated condemnation of one individual’s actions for the predominance of their own.]]></description>

	 <description><![CDATA[by Bill Quigley “We can never forget that everything that Hitler did in Germany was ‘legal,’ and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did was ‘illegal.’ It was ‘illegal’ to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany, but I am sure that if I lived in Germany during that time I would have comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal...we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.” Martin Luther King, Jr. There have been over 15,000 arrests for resistance to war since 2002.]]></description>

	 <description><![CDATA[by Sergei Holmes Editor’s note: We would love to have included some actual writing excerpts from George Carlin but goofy shit like copyright rules kept us limited to an homage. So please accept these words from a fan with a recommended reading/hearing/viewing list at the end. My first and only significant use of plagiarism was when I lifted George Carlin’s “Kids Are Too Small”, “Rules, Rules, Rules” and “Parents’ Cliches and Children’s Secret Answers” from his 1977 On the Road album. It was for a speech presentation in fifth grade. And I had studied that album.]]></description>
