This morning after seeing the New York Times, I went to the local art supply store and enlarged the front page article about the Supreme Court decision on Guantanamo Bay inmates to the size of a poster and put it in my storefront window. I consider this to be one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of our lifetimes so far. Steve Bergstein has covered the details in his current edition of Psychsound. The New York Times version of the article shown above is at this link. Here is the New York Times editorial on the issue. Photo by Eric Francis. Prior cover: Arlesian costumes dance.
Even Bush Can't Destroy Habeas Corpus | Psychsound
Habeas Corpus is a latin phrase which means that you can ask a court to review the legality of your detention. It's one of the oldest legal concepts in Western Civilization. It's what separates the free from the oppressed, and when I say oppressed, I mean OPPRESSED, those who live under totalitarian regimes and can be swept off the streets for no reason and without any recourse. Without Habeas Corpus you can spend years in jail simply because you held different political views, or some other frivolous reason.
Planet Waves Astrology News | By Eric Francis The Friday edition of Planet Waves Astrology News is now available. Here is a sample of the weekly horoscope, for Taurus: "You may finally be allowing yourself a moment's peace. What you've been craving for the past few weeks is specifically a sense of emotional grounding, which you're not going to get by hashing over ideas or issues again and again. This is different than peace. Peace is also different than pushing an issue or perceiving life as a power struggle, which you seem to be doing more than usual lately. At a certain point, everyone on the way to becoming an adult learns to feel solid and secure within the present circumstances of their life, no matter what they are. At the least, you would need to trust yourself enough to make a decision when the time comes, and that time will be upon you soon enough. You seem to be making one mistake again and again, which is thinking you have to go it alone. Your peace of mind might come a lot more dependably if you let go of that particular thought."

Daily Astrology and Adventure | By Eric Francis Eric Francis writes, “Both Pluto and Neptune tend to work unconsciously, that is, with effects, but beneath awareness — until we become aware of them, a task with which astrology itself can be enormously helpful. This has been fairly easy with Pluto in the fiery, expressive sign Sagittarius. Yet Neptune is particularly insidious in this respect — that’s why Dave Arner suggested I write the meanings of Neptune on the wall of my studio. I have spent long sessions looking at many client’s charts and only at the end noticed that something extremely interesting was happening Neptune-wise; but I could not see it or did not notice. I’ve noticed no other planet behave in this strange way, going so far as to vanish from perception and reappear.”
