Slacker Uprising? Not in the Charlie Brown Nation. Michael Moore released a new film this week called "Slacker Uprising." After watching the free download tonight I realized nobody would have paid to see this had it been released in theaters. In general, I like Moore and his films. But watching "Slacker Uprising" was like seeing the Charlie Brown Nation running up to kick the football that is always pulled away at the last moment. Will Charlie ever learn? Will we?

Humboldt's False Alternative to Diebold Humboldt County, CA - After certifying inaccurate election results due to a Diebold programming failure, the Registrar is all too eager to switch to Hart eScan machines, another accuracy-challenged proprietary and secret vote counting system found vulnerable to undetectable manipulation.

The result is that House Speaker Dennis Hastert has appointed Brian Bilbray to represent CA's 50th district, nullifying an election by terminating it prior to certification or even the completion of the vote counting.

Sabotage/Progress as Yin/Yang In this video, I refer to the ManifestPositivity.org Glossary term "sabotage," exploring its yin/yang relationship with progress. This is also the first time I'm publicly stating my intention to create a self-help workbook, which will happen in collaboration with people participating in the web-based TV talk show I'm also working on. This post is helping to manifest both.

Aren't We Being Taken For Fools? Letter to the Editor Yes, we are being taken as fools.Government (and media) legitimacy comes only from the consent of the governed.Isn't it foolish for the 92% of us who know better to consent to such election conditions?We must count the ballots by hand,the most transparent,secure and verifiably accurate way to conduct an election. Isn't it foolish to assign legitimacy to any government that prefers counting votes in secret?
