Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story The most astonishing lesson I learned was that NO LESSON WAS LEARNED BY THE GOVERNMENT! My first reaction during attacks prior to even the towers falling was, ""of course the Muslims did it, maybe now the foreign policy of our government will finally change and they'll listen to the 3rd world instead of pushing the practice of corporate colonialism bigtime while hypocritically calling it spreading democracy."" Maybe now they'll realize their policy of being the biggest arms sellers on the planet, (many times any one else), is incredibly stupid in the long run, spreading hatred of America in areas of civil unrest fueled these arms in the 3rd world which allows their children (especially Palestinians) to be killed with bullets labeled ""made in America"". Great way to make friends.....wouldn't you agree? When family members visited relatives a few block from the trade towers shortly afterwards, they returned with pictures of memorials all over the city containing the slogan ""Don't turn our grief into a cry for war"", I was, for the first time in my life, proud to be a New Yorker! Yet what was the result? These memorials were barely noticed by the press. As Dubya barely could conceal delight at his war mongering administration getting what it'd wished for, the press finds ""depths in his shallow"" as Molly Ivins penned. We've allow the administration to use our uneducated fear to rob the country while buying votes at the same time with that fear, as their closest allies the Enron boys so well displayed, all in name of fighting the terror they themselves instigated! There is no hatred of us or our way of life by people abroad. There is total hatred of our foreign policy! Our news media is responsible for this disinformation being complicit with the right wing plutocracy which stole the election, whose supporters now own the news sources. We need a Loyal Opposition Movement by Real Patriots in this country, to take back the democracy the Deists like Jefferson, et. al. gave us.
