I guess I missed the part where Planned Parenthood aims at both reproductive education for women and the collective control of the means of production....<BR/><BR/>I am simply presenting some information. People are free to do with it as they wish. If you are so right-wing enough that these organizations which are supported by a large telephone company are 'socialist organizations' than you don't have to do a thing. Being a 'freethinker' (not capitalized by the way) doesn't mean much when you still support the economic and political structures for which religion was created to shield anyhow.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708796218860983185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177833.post-4711558614382775082007-12-27T09:54:00.000-08:002007-12-27T09:54:00.000-08:001) You need to change the name to Freethought Bimo...1) You need to change the name to Freethought Bimonthly, or something...<BR/><BR/>2) You seem to suffer from the delusion that fellow Freethinkers will automatically donate to these socialist organizations just on your recommendation. Sorry, but some of us really *are* Freethinkers, and not only with regard to religious superstition.TX CHL Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05553744492115123031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177833.post-79652280723697473402007-11-19T23:53:00.000-08:002007-11-19T23:53:00.000-08:00I have a blog in which I debunk Answers in Genesis...I have a blog in which I debunk Answers in Genesis.

I think having "alternative" options in regards to where our money goes is extremely important. <BR/><BR/>I wish there was a way to tell by some symbol or seal (like kosher) on a product that it passed certain tests before reaching me. I want to make sure my purchase does not include environmental degradation or brutality against humans or animals, etc, but I don't always have the time/resources available to me to find out on my own. "Made in China" does not inspire me for some reason.<BR/><BR/>This phone company is a good first step, since everyone and their mom uses cell phones. Perhaps more such options (with different services) and the aforementioned "kosher" rating system for products, coupled with your progressive front, would form an overarching strategy to bring about lasting and effective change.<BR/><BR/>We cannot focus on politics and leave consumer action out of the equation, nor vice versa. Getting the two to line up, though, is often very difficult.<BR/><BR/>(I should blog more often.)Mookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796691428737135749noreply@blogger.com
