ons of interesting stuff this week. On the home front, we've got several stories about the near-riot that happened when the Ku Klux Klan staged a march in Memphis. What's that you say? You didn't hear about it because of all that noise from Bill Clinton's loose zipper? Well now's your chance to catch up. This article sums up the spectacle; this one reports on the mayor's defense of the local police, who shot tear gas at those protesting the presence of the KKK; and this opinion piece argues that the Klan should be billed for the damage that resulted from their rally, right-to-assemble issues be damned.

Of course, recent troubles in the United States are nothing compared to the problems others are enduring overseas. While Bill Clinton and his assailants continue to embarrass the nation, the people living in Saddam Hussein's country don't have the luxury of feeling embarrassed. As this article shows, they're too busy trying to heal themselves in hospitals without lightbulbs or ventilation, using equipment that doesn't work and medicine that doesn't exist.

For these and many other reasons, all over the world people have stopped putting their faith in government. Heck, at the upper echelons it's all controlled by corporations anyway. At least that's what the people at ®™ark believe. An anonymous organization concerned with the seemingly limitless rise of corporate power, ®™ark advocates using subversive tactics to gum up the works. This story details ®™ark's mission and offers some tips on how to get back at The Man. Who knows, if your anarchistic efforts pay off, you could be a big cash prize winner!
