A set of links from alternet

[conuly]

Old news, but still good, on how far recruiters will go to recruit.
One about a documentary on the wall/fence in Israel
One on official Godwinization of people we're at war with
An interview with Moazzam Begg, after being released from Guantanamo
An article on Planned Parenthood
One on abusive relationships
An article on permanent bases in Iraq
And one on Iraq and Iran

And some links from other sources...

Today's WTF moment comes courtesy of Fox News. Man, and here I thought I was the queen of paranoid conspiracy theories, but this one just takes the cake.
At the same time, at least some Musim scholars are arguing against terrorism. I would daresay that they probably represent the majority of Muslims, just as the majority of Christians don't actually believe in bombing abortion clinics and beating up on gay kids. Unfortunately, the shouters always are the ones we remember....
And more proof that Walmart is evil. Like we needed it.

I'm glad for the article on Planned Parenthood, it's good to know who supports them. Makes it easier to make informed choices. That's the good thing about the internet, easier to find out who supports the people you support, and who supports the ones you don't support.

Hate to find out though when a company I like supports something I don't like. I can't imagine not using photoshop, for example. :(

Ah well. Maybe I'll drop 'em a line. Couldn't hurt.

It won't work. I'm far too hungry to be in a bad mood.

That said....

This is a good resource

Scrolling down will give you a list of alternatives to photoshop.

I'm rather impressed that you paid for it, I don't think I know many people who did that... (I didn't, but then, I don't use it at all, so I don't think I have it)

You could also do what I would do when buying ice cream if I were currently eating ice cream. Since they're all owned by teh evil Nestle, were I to buy ice cream, I would be supporting evil marketing practices. So, instead, the plan would be to buy ice cream, then to donate the same amount of money for an organization working to stop the evil marketing practices. Or, in the case of chocolate, an organization working to stop evil chocolate harvesting practices.
