Thursday, April 3 - This is a modern day "David vs. Goliath" story. Coca-Cola has refused to have a professional vs. professional debate. They will only debate their professionals vs. the non-killercoke student professionals! And the post-debate report is... SUCCESS!!! Students Against Coke soundly defeated Coca-Cola's public relations reps!

Check out audio from the debate here: http://columbus.indymedia.org/node/13489

----- The issue against Coca-Cola is simple:

FACT: Coca-Cola has does nothing to stop paramilitary groups from murdering and threating Coca-Cola union workers and their family members in Colombia. http://killercoke.org/report.htm

FACT: Coca-Cola depletes already scarce water resources for farmers in India. http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript_shiva.html FACT: Coca-Cola deliberately allows children to work in their sugar cane fields in El Salvador. Child labor is illegal in these fields. http://www.hrw.org/children/labor/ elsalvador/

FACT: Coca-Cola gives toxic waste as fertilizer to local farmers, a BBC study has found. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3096893.stm

FACT: Coca-Cola sells products with poison (DDT) in India. http://www.indiaresource.org/campaigns/coke/2004/coketwist.h... P.S.

Audio Producer's Comment: I was NOT allowed--per Coke's contract for the debate--to record video at this event. They would, however, allow me to record audio only--lens cap on, plain view, camera pointed away from stage. I saw no point in covertly recording video when I could overtly record audio so... That is why there is only audio. Sorry for not editing out the "intermission" silence but we wanted to get this up ASAP. That said, I *DID* get video images of the Coke reps and the crowd after the event, and I conducted a short interview with a SAC member, which will be posted soon. -rhetoric, Columbus Indymedia volunteer
