Gov. Scott Walker Gets Checked, Mic Checked!
The beauty of this is the witnessing of the involuntary transfer of authority by the right-wing reactionaries, and the priceless look on their faces upon realization that their authority had just been stripped from them. That was pure poetry in motion!
Occupy Wall Street — “We Are What Democracy Looks Like!”
It’s called Occupy Wall Street for a reason: it’s about the MONEY, stupid! The money that has put profits before people and left human values to be measured by price alone. The money that (with the complicity of the Supreme Court) has replaced votes (one for each of us) with dollars (one for the 99 and 99 for the one!) turning democracy into plutocracy. . . Look at the process, which is a bold attempt to embody a “horizontal” paradigm of participatory engagement as an alternative to “vertical” big league moneyball democracy.

The Big Banks are Terrified – We are Winning
We have had enough – and we’re not going to take it any more. It is up to us to go back on November 7th, and November 8th and every day after that. Already, Move Your Money on Nov 5th, has morphed into Move Your Money Mondays. It is a terrifying prospect for the banks. They will tell you that all of this doesn’t matter. After all, they don’t need no stinking customers. They are sitting on an unprecedented mountain of cash. They don’t make money off deposits. This can’t hurt them, this won’t hurt them. They are lying:

Why I Do Not Support the Troops!
This is the first time since I read Major General Smedley Darlington Butler’s (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940) classic, must read, War is a Racket, that anyone has expressed my sentiments so eloquently!

Senate Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer responded to Republicans gutting an anti-bullying bill by inserting language that specifically allows bullying to occur based on religious or moral reasons.
What Next?
It has become clear to everyone except the professional political class that things cannot go on this way. . . The most important fact is that the neo-liberal experiment of the last few decades, what one might call the Great Leap Backward, has failed. In fact this project must be considered to constitute as great a crime against humanity as Stalin’s or Mao’s. . . In economic terms the measure of capitalism’s failure is the growth of inequality. The gap between the global rich and poor has increased over the last few decades. Wealth does not ‘trickle down’, on the contrary it is siphoned up. . .

Journey of Man: The Story of the Human Species
“Journey of Man” answers the question, “Where do we all come from?” Today, some six billion people are spread across the planet. Today, some six billion people are spread across the planet. But there was a time — not so long ago — when the human species numbered only a few thousand and the world was a single continent: Africa. Then something happened. A small group left their African homeland on a journey into an unknown, hostile world. Against impossible odds, these extraordinary explorers not only survived but went on to conquer the earth. Their story can finally be told through the science of genetics. Dr. Wells, a 33-year-old geneticist, is part of a team that has been re-writing history. He has been disentangling this epic story from evidence all people carry with them — in their DNA — inherited from those ancient travelers.
I recommend this documentary. One may choose to watch it in its thirteen parts available on YouTube, or check it out from your local library.
