The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is a historic step towards a gender sensitive law in India. However, the big question remains, how is it different from other existing laws of the land?

By Jeff Berg
www.countercurrents.org/berg151007.htm
If we fail again and let consumption manage us and not us it, I’m guaranteeing here and now that energy fascism is the jackboot that we will all be ground under. Most of the rest of the world gets this already. They do not hate us for our freedoms they hate us for the insane recklessness and abuse of freedom that our everyday fossil fuel lifestyle screams at them. And who can blame them?

Obama Blows It With “Kingdom On Earth” Comment
By Mary Shaw
www.countercurrents.org/shaw151007.htm
On October 7, Obama disappointed me, big time. I know he’s a religious man, but he overdid it this time. In my opinion, he crossed the line re: separation of church and state when he told the congregation at an evangelical church in South Carolina: “I am confident we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth.”
