Get used to this. The boys are only getting warmed up. They'll take everything we got, if we let them. The rich need to pay their fair share. Corporations need to pay their fair share. Wars need to end. The military needs to be downsized. Taxbreaks and subsidies for the rich need to end. When you are done with all that, then you can ask us for a buck or two.

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”

Our Climate Future and the Doha Summit

To make a long story short: We are committing suicide and the U.S. is supplying the hangman's noose.
Most credible climate scientists are saying we are about out of time. Listen to some right-wing yo-yo or a scientist who has spent his or her entire life trying to understand this.  Don't be a fool!

Fast Food Forward: Take this McJob and Shove It | Common Dreams

Fast Food Forward: Take this McJob and Shove It | Common Dreams

A lot of brave people taking necessary risks to better themselves. Seems capitalist greed is everywhere. The fast food industry is one of the worst. They have taken full advantage of the back to work welfare program. Another abused food industry standard is paying waiting staff next to nothing for their services. They have to make it on tips, which you just never know about. They should walk out next to demand raising their minimum wage, which hasn't been changed for years. Some owners of restaurants also hold tips place on credit cards until the transaction clears. This hurts a lot of single mothers who are relying on those tips to cover expenses. It's all more of the same. The 99% need to go on a national strike of liberation from the greed of the rich. That would get their attention.

Ending Violence Against Women and Children (for men)

Ending Violence Against Women and Children (for men)

• Examine the ways we legitimize male violence.
• Teach children how to settle conflicts peacefully.
• Understand that love does not involve control or ownership.
• Recognize that the availability of guns increases lethal violence.
• Lay off the booze and drugs. Both can lead to increased violence against women and kids.
• Just because your father was violent and dominating does not mean you have to be.
• We all need to be role models. Be nurturing, loving, caring, nonviolent, compromising. Give up the male dominance crap. In the end, you'll feel better about yourself.

You Might Have Lost Touch With Reality If:

• most of what's currently happening in the world makes sense to you.
• you think people are after your money, in spite of the fact that you have none.
• you thought Romney would win the election. He didn't have a prayer. Not even a Mormon one.
• you think joining the military is a good deal.
• the guy or gal sitting next to you, who really isn't there, is starting to look good to you.
• while driving, you have a sudden attack of courtesy.
• you understand someone who is talking in tongues. This also applies to understanding politicians and most ministers.
• you think all that plastic surgery is going to make you younger. It only makes you a freak of nature. Or actually, a freak of a doctors making.
