Ted Nugent, never afraid to spew disgusting rhetoric, called Parkland students who survived February’s mass shooting “soulless” and “mushy brained” liars. In an interview with Newsmax’s Joe Pagliarulo, the washed-up rock star reminded the country just how repulsive he is, going on a toxic rampage against Parkland students still recovering from a mass shooting that took 17 innocent lives. An unsurprising reminder to readers: Nugent is an NRA board member. The disgusting attacks being waged against the young people from Parkland are proof that the NRA and its right-wing supporters are losing the fight to protect guns over people.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
