Peace and Inclusion
Roman Kokodyniak steps in for Eileen this week. He tells of the time he spent in Ukraine during the Orange Revolution and the disputed elections. It is possible to create change in one's home without resorting to violence and that is celebrated here. More in W.W.E.D.
Lip Service for Terri
The government really cares about defending life. Just ask them. Tom DeLay and Bill Frist are leading the way in keeping Terri Schiavo alive. So, why have they spent their time in D.C. cutting the very programs that have kept her going this far. Karl Schnitger wants to know. The Ad hoc Insurgent is in
Beep Beep, Beep Beep
A recent article on AOL spurred Gene Desrochers to look into America's car obsession. This environmentalist figures out what needs to change so that we can still have variety in our choices while protecting the air and land. Park behind Ford's Theater

The Emerald City
Pay no attention to the man behind the screen. Sure, the United States was led into war based on exaggerations at best. Some leaders don't think it matters anymore. However, Bill Saltmarsh wants to see a promised Phase II of a Senate report on all this. Create some Chaos!
Also Dying This Week
The Terri Schiavo case is gripping the news watching nation. It is not the most important matter of life and death in this country though. John Dillon points out the problems that our government could be attempting to solve if they really believe they were on the side of life. The Army You Have wants to live
The Sky Is Falling
What has happened to this country? Nay, this world? Scott Gullett looks at the unraveling of the fabric of society this week. He sees a sliver of hope, but it has to come from more than him. The Giving Tree blossoms

Regulators, Mount up
What's truly offensive speech? Should censorship of (shhhhhh!) sexual topics be allowed on the public airwaves just because some people are offended? Or are we headed down a slippery slope? Mara Levi explores these questions and more. Quiet Revolution will not be silenced
I Said, Mount up
Cable news is populated with liars. If this were a campfire, Steve Wanczyk would be entertained. But it's not. Instead, it's a slew of misinformation being paraded as fact all over the television dial. So, is a little bit of regulation needed after all? Comfortably Furious at cable news
Easter Parade

WHAT ELSE ARE YA WORKING ON?
Why We Rest: Since January, WPW has been going strong on a weekly basis. This week, two of us are involved in the closing acts of show rehearsals, others are plunging into midterms, and still others have flown the coop to Europe. Chris Webb examines why he hears statements from society at large that he's too young to be tired. Rabble Rouser needs a snooze
 The JFK Assassination: Conspiracy theories surrounding the murder of John F. Kennedy? Hogwash, says John J. Fitzgerald. Standing in for Jason Saltmarsh and using a definitive source about the assassination satisfies him philosophically as he pins the blame on Lee Harvey Oswald. Here, he states his case. Thought Criminal works alone
DT'S LOUNGE: Three readers chime in about Chris', Scott's, and Gene's articles from last week. It is the most active our readers have been in a while, and we encourage you to join in the great national debates we address on these pages. See below for how you can get involved. DT's Lounge is open for business
Put Me in Coach, I'm Ready to Play: Sunday, April 3, marks the first night of the 2005 baseball season. What better way to start than with a Red Sox-Yankees game? Bookending this weekend is the NCAA Tournament's Final Four. Oh, it's too much athletic glory to handle! But Bill tries his best in The Athletic Department. It's a long drive, deep to left...
Sinfully Delicious: The most exciting thing to Steve isn't the entertainment we have, but the entertainment we have yet to see. And while he will show you a surprisingly erotic obsession with Conan O'Brien, what's really got his motor running is the film adaptation of Sin City. And all he's seen are previews. Go to Pop Culture Criticism
Eileen Drumm is off this week. And, Jason Saltmarsh is seeing crunch time up at school. In place of next week's issue, please tool around the site and visit our archives.
