		After all of the consultations and investigations, she wound up with the treatment that, a generation ago, would have been all that was available.
		Activist medicine served to reduce the risks that she faced.
		Unless "Quixote" is correct in attributing the expense of her ailment to insurance company inefficiency rather than to activist medicine, the "single payer" solution will turn out to make matters worse, at least from the standpoint of holding down health costs.

	Natalie Davis' All Facts and Opinions
		I have an idea why liberal activist Sheehan was arrested and GOP lawmaker's spouse Young was not, and you can guess what it is. (Don't forget Rick Santorum's pal and his souvenir photo.) Suffice to say that the state of the union is still screwed, though it's nice to see Sheehan off the hook.
		Activist Cindy Sheehan, arrested for wearing an antiwar T-shirt, inciting a riot, demonstrating in the Capitol, plotting to embarrass a sitting Resident, unlawful behavior, not being Republican and pro-war -- take your pick -- is speaking out about her experience at Dubya Bush's State of the Union address last night.
		Check out her story at Buzzflash: It tears at the heart to see this woman, who loves her country and the ideals it claims to have (but doesn't), continually be kicked in the teeth by her uncompassionate government.

		Unlike their conservative predecessors, they are not only interested in undoing the past work of "activist" liberal judges.
		Their brand of judicial conservatism is avowedly activist: Its most prominent exponent, Justice Antonin Scalia, has written, "I am not a strict constructionist, and no one ought to be."
		Many are members of the Federalist Society, which was founded only 20 years ago by a handful of conservative law students as an antidote to a liberal philosophy that they felt was pervasive in the nation's legal adversaries.

		The state education association, of course, is "encouraged" and thinks this "will help get the state on the road to full funding." That's hardly surprising in a ruling that reads like an activist's brief.
		That invited an activist court to step in.
		The decision follows a similar one in Ohio a few years back which some conservatives labeled a "Robin Hood" ruling for ordering the state assembly and governor to raise taxes and spend the money on property-poor school districts.

	http://www.qando.net/ - Redefining "activist judge"
		They constantly like to tell us that it is the Left that âusesâ the courts to further their agenda (as though these so-called leftist organizations have some sort of mind control over the judges).
		An activist, in terms of the judiciary, is one who uses their position to enact laws instead of interpreting them.
		There is a really simple and objective definition of "activism." Activist judges, in the process of adjudicating a legal dispute, create laws that don’t previously exist.

		A Cuban delegate felled anti-Castro activist Frank Calzon with a sucker punch in Geneva yesterday during a fracas after the U.N. Human Rights Commission decided by a single vote to censure the communist regime for its human rights record.
		Calzon was briefly knocked unconscious and was taken to a medical clinic for treatment.
		Cuban human rights activist Elizardo Sanchez applauded the vote but said Cuba would not allow the investigator to visit because "it has a lot to hide."

	FindLaw's Writ - Hamilton: Senator Frist and Representative DeLay's Claims of Supreme Court Judicial Activism and ...
		In response, DeLay claimed this modest, lawful, and prudent call was "activist," and threatened that the courts would have to one day "answer for their behavior."
		The federal courts - like every court from the beginning of the long litigation -- reached a conclusion based directly on the law: Florida law permits oral statements to be taken into account in these circumstances, so that Michael's testimony regarding his wife's intentions was both admissible and probative.
		Far from being activist, then, the Schiavo decisions resolutely have followed the rule of law - even while all around urged the judges who issued them to follow, instead, their own religious and political beliefs.

		The filmmakers, all participants in the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, discussed the notion of activist filmmaking, as well as the nuts and bolts of getting their films made.
		In the process, one of the things I had to fight was the concept of being an activist.
		We didn’t come in with the point of view of ‘let’s find out what it it’s like to be a doctor.’ So that meant that we were indeed making selections that were probably unfair to the people who are driving doctors out of the business.

		When we live in a society where people are considered "wierd" or "freaky", it does us good to listen to their stories and be reminded of their humanity, and to realise a little bit more of our own.

		A prominent advocate for women’s rights in Bahrain, Ghada Jamsheer heads the Women’s Petition Committee, a network of activists demanding the codification of the kingdom’s family laws and the reform of its family courts.
		“Rather than putting one of Bahrain’s most committed activists on trial, the government should work with Ghada Jamsheer to immediately address the issues that her organization has brought to light,” said Jefferson.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Air Force adds to controversy with its own coffin photos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The week before Kuwait cargo worker Tami Silicio lost her job for releasing a photograph of soldiers' coffins, the Air Force made its own release of several hundred photographs of flag-draped coffins to the operator of an Internet site.
		The Air Force photos were shot by personnel at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and released — reluctantly — in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by a 34-year-old First Amendment activist.
		Some critics, including some members of Congress, have said it is an attempt by the administration to downplay the true cost of the war in human lives.

		ASPs may be a good choice for individual activists who want to set up email discussion lists, and for organizations in which a staff with limited technical expertise needs to manage multiple or large lists.

	BE A BETTER ACTIVIST
		Note how many activists we have today, all of them chewing at the New World Order like mice and how few activists we had in ancient times.
		The minute that an activist says ‘Jewspapers’ or Hymies or Kykes, he alienates a group of greatly organized, very participatory intellectuals, a group that has a longtime tradition of anti-fascist thought, brilliance in writing, and a tradition of group mobilization second to none.
		It may be that you also do have a business, and gradually these folks who love and respect you get to prefer to buy hand-made olive oil soap from you, or get their taxes prepared by you, or their horoscope done by you.
