Occupy Wall Street And The Celebrity Economists
By Michael Yates
http://www.countercurrents.org/yates241011.htm
Occupy Wall Street has opened up new possibilities for discussing and debating what is going on in the world and what we should do about it.

Will Rick Perry Kill Another Innocent Man?
By Mary Shaw
http://www.countercurrents.org/shaw241011.htm
Texas governor and Republican presidential contender Rick Perry has faced criticism from the left (and applause from the right) for his heavy-handed use of the death penalty. And Perry has said that he loses no sleep over the possibility that he may have executed an innocent man.
