Your Freedom or Your Shoes What do you think is more important to you, your freedom or the stylishness of your shoes? In my experience, most Americans find the stylishness of their shoes to be more important than their freedom... even more important than whether or not their children and grandchildren will live in freedom.

Crimes of the State I'm only mentioning a few here for you who are just tuning in, just beginning to look at what all the fuss is about... what you have to look forward to if you continue to wonder why things in the good 'ol USA and elsewhere aren't going as well as they used to.

You can't be afraid of the truth and expect to remain free. Now we have a logical explanation for why our elected representatives appear to be so stupid: They are not free, and so our government is no longer of, by, or for the People.

Moving the Trim Tab You only have to act in your own self interest even if is a bit inconvenient for awhile. If you can't find the self respect to retain your freedom, you are surely going to lose it. And if you're black, you're going to lose it again, which is doubly tragic.

Why is the Fed Managing the Economy? The president has no clue. He understands economics about as well as he understands the Constitution, which is not at all. By understand, I mean really understands the purpose and wisdom of what the founders had in mind to the point of dedicating his life to preserving and protecting it. He doesn't understand it.

I, Juror I was a juror and today I feel like I'm the one who put the last nail in the coffin of justice. I did my job, but I couldn't deliver justice. I participated in a system that no longer works and by doing so allowed the illusion to persist that we are a nation of laws and that justice in America is blind. In so doing I helped validate a system that allows injustice to persist.

What's going on with our money? Large and well endowed economies like the US can choose to make, sell, or engage in any number of activities and do so effectively. But US policy makers have decided to concentrate the country's energies in one specific area, and that strategic focus, while once successful, is leading the country to its inevitable decline and ruin.

Guantanamo Comes to Main Street U.S.A. Our silence and indifference to the plight of others is what allows this kind of thing to happen. You probably won't get a better wake up call than this. No doubt bad public relations will force this kind of evidence into dark corners. The question is, will we wake up, or will we remain silent until something like this happens to someone we know and care about... or maybe to a lot of people we know and care about?

The Last Man Standing Somehow people who are out to fight evil are never at a loss at finding evil in whoever seems to be in their way now, or might be in the future. In that consciousness, the only real way to get rid of evil once and for all will be when the only folks left are The Last Man Standing... and his or her slaves.
Sunday, October 28, 2007The Last Man Standing Somehow people who are out to fight evil are never at a loss at finding evil in whoever seems to be in their way now, or might be in the future. In that consciousness, the only real way to get rid of evil once and for all will be when the only folks left are The Last Man Standing... and his or her slaves.

I Can Show You How To Build An Empire The problem is that these would-be builders of empire have no imagination or finesse. They haven't the sense to look at history and see that what they are doing was already tried before and failed. They repeat the same stupidities like greedy idiot lemmings... Building an Empire might actually be a good idea if, it weren't always being pursued by idiots and fools.

Nothing to Fear What you should realize is that the only solutions available require self-awareness and a commitment to personal responsibility. There is no institution that can change consciousness for the better. Only individual human beings can do that one person at a time -- alone -- through personal determination and commitment. No government can do it, no corporation can do it, no religion can do it.

60 Minutes Interviews Iran's President Mahmoud Amadenijad So all Pelley demonstrated, as far as I could tell, was that no one at 60 Minutes or any other mainstream media organization would ever have the guts to interview Bush or Cheney in the same manner. If we ever could find someone who would be willing to ask tough, penetrating, unscripted questions of Bush or Cheney, I guess it would be the last interview they would ever do.

Debating Iraq In arguing why we should stay in Iraq during a recent debate, Republican Mike Huckabee, on stage with other candidates, gave this as his reason why: He spoke about a lesson he learned from his mother when he was a child. What he learned from her, he said, was that if he went into a store and "if I picked something off the shelf at the store and I broke it, I bought it."

Replacing Our Government With One That's Legitimate Further, I suggested that folks who want to transform our failed government into a government of, by, and for the People should be spending their energies on finding new qualified candidates to support for public office so that it will be possible to replace the current betrayers. We need to replace elected officials throughout the entire spectrum of elective offices.

What Do Sub-Prime Loans Have To Do With The Stock Market? Unfortunately, the fear associated with sub-prime loans losses appears to be carrying over into other markets and now other loans are hard to get too. Many people are arguing that the Fed should now come to the rescue by lowering rates to make it easier for individuals and businesses to get the credit they need. But for the Fed, that presents a problem.

Our Children's Last Chance The transformation of the United States from a first world country to a failed state is well under way and perhaps close to complete when you consider the dynamics in play. No one in government is suggesting a strategy that would reverse these dynamics. In my view, the only strategy that will now reverse these dynamics must necessarily include the following four components:

Gee Whiz, Bill Moyers, please explain yourself The special was generally informative and a good contribution to the national dialog, but why did he have to end it with an estimate offered by an administration that almost never tells the truth about anything. If the best estimate we have is that over 650,000 excess civilian deaths have occurred as a result of the war, then certainly a lot more than 35,000 Iraqis died last year.

Perhaps the highest price we will pay will be in the form of our own stupidity, our ignorance, our immaturity, and the persistence of myth in our lives... the separation of self from reality... the persistence of unenlightenment and all the sorrow that that entails.

They want the troops to experience a win. But how can soldiers engaged in an illegal war experience a win? What does winning an illegal war mean? Does it mean that we will not give up until we are able to extricate ourselves without having to pay a price for our war crimes?
