William Rivers Pitt - and others who tell the truth

[TBF]

Apologies if someone has already posted this website, but I just saw it today. I was looking through the gallery of photos - and all of a sudden I saw a fellow DU'er represented. Beautiful!



William Rivers Pitt
Teacher, Writer, Political Activist: b. 1971
"Why so much war? Because war is a profitable enterprise. George W. Bush and his people can hold forth about the wonders of democracy and peace, and can condemn worldwide violence in solemn tones. Until the United States stops being the world's largest arms dealer, these words from our government absolutely reek of hypocrisy."

1. Will is a national treasure, and we are damned lucky to have his writing here.

[FarPoint]

3. I second that statement!

He is our jewel.

[uppityperson]

24. He is also "just" a guy with a family and kid who writes here and there.

Appreciate his writings and his being just a guy too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Absolutely right!

I'm the furball on the right.

29. Your new look makes you look like the writer I imagined you looked

like when I first read your stuff over a decade ago.

11. Geaux Saints.

Pats = 4-1, with a loss to Cincinnati
Saints = 5-0
Should be a great game.
Kickoff in about an hour.

And Will Pitt?
We differ on policy occasionally,
but he is a valuable asset to DU,
and I read his posts.

I'll give a Geaux Saints toast to Will Pitt!

[Callmecrazy]

12. Ha HAAA! Now that's funny..

Sad but true. We still love ya, Will.

22. ...

[Jack Rabbit]

19. That's some impressive company he's keeping there

The Bush Junta is not represented for some reason.

[Enthusiast]

20. The GOP is the war party.

They would wage war when peace is the obvious better option.

Name some positive outcome from the Afghan and Iraq wars. Not an imaginary positive like, "We are giving them freedom." Something real.

23. k&r...

33. I liked the inclusion of both past heroes like Eugene Debs

and folks who are trying to make a difference right now. Definitely a cool site!
