Robert Koehler
Koehler rejects the status quo, using his column to expose hidden truths about policy and society. His column gives a searing portrayal of the world from an outsider's perspective, and his bold views help define the debate on a wide range of subjects, including war, education and ethics. Koehler forces readers to pick a side and get in the conversation.
Robert Koehler Samples
A Festival of Peace
"I ran away from my foster mother, became homeless, lived on the street for three years. We get, in all, 12 minutes of Daisy. This short film, by Jack Major, is called "Daisy."
The Source of Corporate Power
"If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech."
Haiti: The Spectacle
Haiti falls apart and America's journalists are on the ground, bringing us the spectacle of devastation. A bare foot sticks out of a pile of cinder blocks. "They've been digging for five hours," says Anderson Cooper. OK, freeze frame.
Scratching the Itch
The whole point of so much of what we do seems to be to weed people out.
Disposable Gods
Read the tabs -- watch the tube -- if you want to know how a society that has lost its religiosity can still engage with the deities.
Peeling Back Time
"Should old acquaintance be forgot a-a-nd never brought to mi-i-i-i-nd ..." I love the noise, love kissing my friends, hoisting the bubbly and draining the cup of kindness.
