Princeton Graduate Psychology Reunion after 50 years, with examples of the influence of money/power and of revisionist history

Honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King with civil disobedience
I was arrested today at the King of Prussia facility of Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest war profiteer and nuclear weapons manufacturer.

Has women’s lib become women’s chains (comparable to men’s)?
One of the greatest capitalist rip-offs of the second half of the 20th century was to convince women that they would be better off and happier being “liberated” to leave their families and to emulate the meaningless hamster-wheel work life (so falsely glamorized) that their mates “enjoyed.” So now we end up with (more…)
Why was Pearl Harbor any surprise?
War with Japan was not a surprise for most Americans. What was a surprise (more…)
Is (was) Paul a survivalist? Yes and No.
It’s interesting to consider that half a century ago, I had some things somewhat comparable to this rather over-the-top survivalist, stashed in the trunk of my car. I always kept (more…)
