Traitors to the United States of America carried and revered the Confederate battle flag while killing almost 400,000 Americans. It is more than unpatriotic to display it, it is more than disrespectful, it is an endorsement of treason and mass murder!

Employers of America! If an employee of yours is found to display or otherwise covet the Confederate flag, "FIRE THAT SONOFABITCH! FIRE HIM!"

"Rob Kall's book Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution is both a welcomed manifesto and a guide for rethinking the power of human agency, understanding the connections that both make us human and legitimate human planetary relations. Moreover it is a powerful call for providing the ideas, social practices, and relations that make human connections possible, enable them to work together from the bottom up, and to transform such connections into a powerful movement in which people take control of their lives and create a better future for everyone."
