The struggle between people and corporations will be the defining battle of the 21st century. If the corporations win, liberal democracy will come to an end. The great social democratic institutions which have defended the weak against the strong - equality before the law, representative government, democratic accountability and the sovereignty of parliament - will be toppled. If the corporate attempt on public life is beaten back, then democracy may re-emerge the stronger for its conquest. But this victory cannot be brokered by our representatives. Democracy will survive only if the people in whose name they govern rescue the state from captivity.

Prove we're better than they think, vote radiohead.

did you know that...

...Emperor Constantine I, now in firm command of the entire Roman empire (the first man for a long while to be in that position), is planning another initiative as significant as his adoption of Christianity. Immediately after the defeat of Licinius he sets about rebuilding Byzantium as a Christian capital city - one in which pagan sacrifice, the central rite of imperial Rome until this time, is specifically forbidden.

The city is ready by AD 330 for a ceremony of inauguration. Byzantium acquires two new names - Nova Roma and Constantinople, the city of Constantine. The Roman empire, within eighteen years of Constantine's first victory, has a new religion, a new centre of gravity and a significant change of culture.

god

And yes, I am he who brought light to the books of millions who had forgotten how to read
With these hands that Create & Destory I will bring Order to the Wilds of Europe
With this body, all that is mine, I will chase Aeneas back to his ships.

These thoughs, which circle the cities like vultures
They are not mine
I do not belong

These thoughs, which circle the minds of men
They are not mine
I do not belong

And I will smash my body against these rocks
Until my bones become dust
And I am carried away by the ocean
Away from where my story began
To Where I Am Free
