To have peace we need justice.  One area where justice has eroded was 
discussed at the 3/29/03 conference :
VANISHING DEMOCRACY - CHALLENGING CORPORATE POWER:
Issues & Actions Defending Our Rights, Restoring Democracy
o MASTER OF CEREMONIES was our own - MN State Representative 
  Keith Ellison from near north Minneapolis 
o Introduction to the Issues of Corporations and Democracy by Betsy Barnum
o Keynote speech by John Nichols, co-author of the recent book:
  _Our Media, Not Theirs: The Democratic Struggle Against Corporate Media_

The conference including these is expected to be available on videotape 
  for $5.00 at Altera Vista and on Mpls cable channel 17 some time
