This file is Shareright.  You may freely copy and distribute this

this shareright notice will prove to the world that you are indeed
a good citizen and honest beyond reproach.

Politics, in the marginal world of zines, is often extreme.
Extreme freedom may not seem extreme to you and me, but we're not
the ones in supposed control.  Anyway, being utterly self-serving,
I'd like to start with the Libertarian zines because I'm a card-
carrying member of the Libertarian Party and the Party needs all
the help it can get.  So, now that you know how objective I am, ask
yourself how well the Replicrats have shredded the Bill of Rights.

everyone else, too.  Mostly environmental, though with some
progressive political news of other sorts.  The most interesting
piece in this issue deals the HEMP tour to Harrisburg PA during
which the MC stated that the Quayle family 'owns' Eli-Lily, that
George Bush was on the Eli-Lily board of directors and that the
strident opposition to marijuana stems (as it were) from
marijuana's being a natural, easy to grow, and less addicitive
substitute for Eli-Lily's petroleum derived valium.  Hmmmm.

Sheer, naked hypocrisy.  The following zines play up to
environmental concerns, but are no better than Exxon spending
millions on ad campaigns about their new, double hulled
supertankers.

%Title:  EcoSocialist Review    Volume 5 Number 2
%Descr:  Despite my affiliation with the Libertarian Party, I'll be
the first to admit that capitalism, as practiced today (with all
the help from the gov't) has not been the environment's best
friend.  But socialism and communism (also, as practiced by various
states) has produced the greatest environmental disasters that
humans are capable of producing.  In an article titled "Europe and
Our Environment"  the Socialist International Environment Committee
blasts the 'rich European countires' for 'their contribution to
global environmental threats' but mentions, only in passing, the
Soviet contamination of the Black Sea and does not address any
other Soviet or Eastern European environmental catastrophes.
EcoSocialism is the One True Path, as they slag everyone from the
Sierra Club to Earth First!

these people ever thought of replacing hazardous materials with
something else?  I doubt it, but are they hot about new management
techniques.  OK, they do expose Environment Mutual Funds "Green
eggs and sham?" but go right into market share analysis of 'eco-
friendly' products.  We can't buy our way out of this mess!  I

Every free weekly is interchangable with every other.  This rule
applies to K. C. Jones, from the layout, the ads (futons and
massage studios), the opinionated political cartoons, the local
politics, the movie reviews, everything.  Except that K. C. Jones,
unlike all the other free weeklies, is Pat Buchanan's idea of what
a newspaper should be.  Articles include why the ACLU subverts
liberty, why Oliver Stone is a good reason for the return of
blacklisting and all sorts of good news about anti-abortion
legislation.
