I know what we can do. It doesn't sound like much, but this is what we can do:We can use the blackout as an opportunity to encourage the workers on the cleanup sites and send our thanks, either literally or energetically, for their hard work. We can put our energy toward the successful cleanup and healing of the oceans.We can petition the federal government to reinstate a moratorium on off

I am so damn sick of hearing about the oil disaster. Really, I am. It's not that I don't care - it's that there isn't really anything any of us can do. Oil will continue to spill out until relief wells are drilled sometime a few months down the road - the pressure must be released before you can stop the leak.There is one interesting story connected to the gulf that I'm not sick of seeing - the

Are you sick of your preferred beverages being co-opted by political movements? Tea has been taken by the far right. Coffee by the moderate left.Does this piss anyone else off? I don't want to think about how so many people don't know what fascism is (and how it differs from socialism) when drinking a cup of oolong tea, dammit!

What is a Terrorist?

No, really. What is a terrorist?Think about it. What is it?The image brought to mind, for most Americans, is an Arabic man who hates the US or US interests and attacks US Nationals to fight against those interests and powers. A frightening visage of Osama Bin Laden comes to mind.But let's look at this term logically, shall we? The root of the word is, of course, terror. Terror-ism. "The suffix -

George Herbert Walker Bush Implicated in Kennedy Assassination

2008-10-28T11:57:00.000-07:00

this article makes assertions and presents evidence that George H.W. Bush was directly connected to the assassination of President Kennedy.President John F. Kennedy has often been lauded as the 20th century's best U.S. president. He was taken down, not by a magic bullet, but by a hired assassin, who was not Oswald. Could it have been because he proposed a non-debt based currency? Quite possibly.

There is a pretty sizable debate now swirling around some notes I've posted on facebook, mostly now between my husband and some of my friends from high school. Before this debate picked up, I thought my views reflected the truth behind the election: Obama/Biden are not completely blameless, but they would better lead this country than McCain/ Palin. Then I visited a page on Cynthia McKinney.http

There is a war going on for your mind. Every day we are inundated with marketing campaigns. Americans are drowning in commercialism, branding – we watch it, we wear it, we listen to it, we eat and drink it, and in all this bombardment, we are being whittled down into nothing more than consumers, defined by what we consume. Thanks and kudos to the flobots for putting this so well.

Right wing/ conservative Christians are so concerned with preserving the 'sanctity of marriage' that I had to put in my two cents.An article has been written on the schism of the Anglican communion, schism that at first seemed speculative, then likely, and is now creeping ever more into reality, over sex! What I feel is really sad is that the conservative anti-gay movement is being supported
