Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story "Agenda Interrupted...","And it's about time. For 5000 years we've seen monumentalism in the name of the powers that be waste enormous resources in the effort to feed the egos of leadership. And every monument draws the attention of angry minds wishing to strike back at the symbols of power structures that they cannot themselves dominate. Thankfully, in their blind rage, they have struck at the most obvious, but not the most critical targets. Instead of WTC, had they instead struck at the databases of the financial industry, found the means to erase banking records in nondescript buildings in the urban fringe, they could have shut down the entire economy. Instead, they have accellerated the dispersal of critical operations and the interconnectivity of electronic communications. Not long after 9/11 the bankers told the senate hearing that no more monumental office towers would be built because no one is willing to insure them any more. I see a clue in the ongoing installation of water lines along the roadways all over my part of the Ozark mountains. They are also putting up wireless high speed data towers so that widely dispersed businesses like mine can function in rural areas where terrorism and urban crime is a trivial threat. Ever since the Pharoahs we've seen power concentrated, and now we are seeing it dispersed, and whereas before it was all hidden behind palace walls, it is now evolving into 'open source' and 'accountability'. It's about time. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
