05/18/2004 04:11 PM
Here's a first-person account of Brian's marriage under Massachusetts's new gay-marriage law.
Suddenly a roar erupted all around us. Things began to move more slowly. I grabbed Aaron's hand tighter and started running forward up the steps. Everything was a blur. I lost his grip briefly as he stopped close to the entrance to accept a rose from someone in the crowd. I paused at the top of the steps, and turned to wait for him.

I've been in front of some large, happy, and cheering crowds before, but only on a stage -- never with a throng pressing in from all sides, with clapping hands outstretched, cameras flashing, and a deafening roar.

I stood there facing the crowd as Aaron walked towards me with a sparkle-encrusted yellow rose and a huge grin on his face. As he reached me, I put my hand around his waist and waved to the crowd. I tried to look at all the people, but my eyes couldn't focus.

We turned and walked into City Hall. My head spun. The lights seemed blinding after coming in from the street. A man in a tuxedo sat at a table and said something like "What are your intentions", through it was probably more like "Are you here to declare your intentions?" A reporter stood behind him pointing a microphone connected to a minidisc recorder at us. People and press thronged around.

I looked at Aaron. He shrugged.

"Um, we're here for a marriage license...?" I said.

Link (Thanks, Brian!)

Blowback: The Cost And Consequences of
American Empire plus War And Conflict In
The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era
03/13/2003 10:25 AM
Chalmers Johnson is an provocative proponent of the American Empire theory, indeed. Here are excerpts from his Blow Back: The Cost And Consequences of American Empire

I heard Johnson interviewed on Episode II, War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era of The Whole Wide World

The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy, freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these things?

It was an excellent program and well worth your listen, either by RA now or mp3 later. (From listening to the radio)

The FCC muddies the VOIP waters


The FCC muddies the VOIP waters 04/22/2004 09:11 AM
The FCC's decision to reject AT&T's voice over IP petition isn't just a defeat for AT&T.  It's a dangerous development.  The FCC concluded that AT&T has to pay access charges to local phone companies for VOIP backbone traffic, essentially because the end-user service involved still looks like traditional telephony. 

The FCC claimed it had to make this decision to provide certainty to the industry, and to eliminate incentives for regulatory arbitrage.  Instead, it has created confusion and even more perverse incentives.  The FCC explicitly refused to decide whether AT&T is retroactively liable for some $100 million in access charges it hasn't paid in the past.  And it hung its decision on the fact that AT&T offers no "enhanced functionality" to end users.  The first is simply an abdication of responsibility; the second reflects an unwillingness to acknowledge the flexible reality of voice as a data application.

These steps are bound to produce the last thing the telecom industry needs right now: more litigation.  Instead of keeping the pressure on for what's really essential -- broad-based reform of inter-carrier compensation -- the FCC has ensured that companies will pour more resources into court battles, which will ultimately kick the issues back to the Commission. 

I understand where the FCC was coming from.  They see AT&T trying to game the system.  So they put their fingers in the dike to stop further leakage from the access charge reservoir.  But the pressure for a VOIP transition will only increase.  If it's just a matter of time before the current system collapses, the FCC should put its energy into figuring out the new system.  Rear-guard actions like this one will only make the transition more painful.

This is the week that was supposed to bring clarity to the race for the DNC chairmanship. So far, it's doing the opposite. With the candidates' meet-and-greet sessions finally over and the DNC election just two weeks away, more and more of the 447 voting members of the DNC are starting to make their preferences public.
