if i only had a brain

Want to spend some time learning about something that matters? Instead of watching a brainless reality show (I'm not trying to sound superior, I watch my share of reality TV) or browsing YouTube for yet another video of a baby laughing...check out these educational and INTERESTING resources on the web and learn something new about America's health care system compared to other countries, the patterns of production and consumption in our world, the back story behind the war in Iraq, or the genocide occurring in Darfur. Time for some brain stimulation:

Sick Around the World

The Story of Stuff

Bush's War

On Our Watch
