The Cashless Society Has Arrived
It's one of those vast social upheavals that everyone understands but that hardly anyone notices, because it seems too ordinary: the long-predicted "cashless society" has quietly arrived, or nearly so; currency, coins and checks are receding as ways of doing everyday business; we've become Plastic Nation. In the tangled history of American money from tobacco receipts to gold and silver coins to paper money and checks this is a seismic shift.

The End of Dissent?
A recent congressional resolution on Iran underscores the War Party's lock on the foreign policy 'debate'
To begin with, the resolution is motivated by a mistanslation of a speech given by Senor Ahmadinejad, in which he cited the Ayatollah Khomeini and seemed to call for Israel to be "wiped off the map." Yet, as this piece by Jonathan Steele, and this comment by Farsi-speaker and Middle East expert Prof. Juan Cole make very clear, that is not what the Iranian President said, or intended to say. Ahmadinejad didn't say Israel must be "wiped off the map," he said the current regime in Tel Aviv will be "wiped off the page of time." It was a call for "regime change" not genocide – but, never mind.
