Quote of the Election Campaign!
"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again."
Vice President Dick Cheney

The newest "What's New" is completed and posted online.

A long overdue revision of the archive in United States/Canadian history is almost completed. As the Web continues to evolve, many of the old resources are gone or moved to new locations.

Doing some Labor Day activities this week? See the WWW Virtual Library Labour History. For a longer project, see Journal for MultiMedia History Review of Who Built America? CD-ROMWho Built America: Working People and the Nation's Economy, Politics, Culture, and Society (Who Built America) and Reviews: Who Built America: Working People and the Nation's Economy, Politics, Culture, and Society (Who Built America) .

"We could be the kindest nation on Earth, inside and out. I look at the bigger picture and see that many nations with fewer resources than ours have found solutions to problems that seem to baffle us. I’d like an end to corporate welfare so we could put that money into ending homelessness. I would like a humane health-care system organized along the lines of Canada’s. I’d like the efficient public-transit system of Paris in my city, thank you. I’d like us to consume energy at the modest level that Europeans do, and then go them one better. I’d like a government that subsidizes renewable energy sources instead of forcefully patrolling the globe to protect oil gluttony. Because, make no mistake, oil gluttony is what got us into this holy war, and it’s a deep tar pit. I would like us to sign the Kyoto agreement today and to reduce our fossil-fuel emissions with legislation that will ease us into safer, sensibly reorganized lives. If this were the face we showed the world, and the model we helped bring about elsewhere, I expect we could get along with a military budget the size of Iceland’s."
