 West Bank Journal: Death and Birth in the Occupied Territories By Starhawk, Utne.com However dangerous you might perceive assassinated Hamas leader Sheik Yassin's ideas to be, you can't destroy his ideas by killing him, you can only strengthen their appeal. You can't kill hate: you can only create more of it by killing. -- Utne Web Special, March 26, 2004 March 20: The World Still Says No To War By Staff, United for Peace & Justice Millions in cities all over the world took to the streets last Saturday to protest the one-year anniversary of the U.S.-led war and occupation in Iraq. United for Peace & Justice's website compiles articles and photos of the demonstrations, as well as a list of more than 600 locations, in 60 different countries, where protests unfolded. -- Utne Web Watch, March 25, 2004 Wal-Mart Wants Your Job By Paul Demko, City Pages Don't be happy, worry! Wal-mart's eerily grinning mascot seems to be warning residents of the Twin Cities with promises of low prices and low wages alike. The retail giant has urban conquest on its mind, with its sights set on a new location in St. Paul's gritty Midway Shopping Center. With an annual sales record of $244.5 billion a year, why not just stick to the suburbs? -- Utne Web Watch, March 25, 2004 The Bogotá Experiment By Jamais Cascio, Worldchanging.com The creative, inspired and shockingly unconventional tactics employed by Antanas Mockus, former mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, read like something out of a Robin Williams movie. At a time of dire social upheaval, wacky professor of philosophy and mathematics with no political experience wins over voters with his honesty and enthusiasm. With the hands-on inventiveness and eccentricity of an educator who once mooned a rowdy auditorium of students to get their attention, Mockus launches a series of initiatives, inspiring public support via an innovative, comic, and personal approach. During his two terms as mayor, he improves the standard of living and the quality of city life, becomes a beloved folk hero, and makes history. Roll credits. -- Utne Web Watch, March 25, 2004 Folk Music's New Genre Busters There's something in the water in Vermont, or maybe something missing. Known for its independent politics, the state is also a haven for freewheeling "free folk" musicians who ignore genres, push instruments to the limit, fuse odd new sounds with familiar strains, and otherwise stretch the limitations of the folk "thing." What the British music magazine The Wire calls "New Weird America" is an eclectic assortment of musicians. Regardless of what you call it, there's a movement afoot that's not likely to be contained. -- Utne magazine, March/April 2004 Utne Book Club '04 A Year's Worth of Great Reads to Discuss with Us, brought to you in part by Powell's Books. Purchase March's selection: The Razor's Edge, by W. Somerset Maugham. -- Utne Indie Culture 2004  PHOTOGRAPHY: Our newest forum! Pros and amateurs alike are welcome.
