This question, posed by Shakespeare way back when, can be applied to more than just literary ideas. In fact, one area that is always in need of more support is Gay Rights. Recently, the government of Uganda has proposed a law that basically states if you are found to be gay, you will be arrested and then executed. If you are found to have known someone is gay and didn't turn ... << MORE >>
It seems that the road most traveled in this country is the one that has the greatest ability to keep anyone from getting anything constructive done. The latest casualty is health care reform, which thanks to the health care industry, the ignorant people who make up the public, the Republican slander machine and a dimwitted hick from Alaska who thinks she's clever by popping out zingers against Obama, we will probably be stuck in a third world status for the majority of those same ignorant people who will still have no health care.

I came across this article while looking for stats on how many of the farmworkers in America are considered to be here illegally. In this search, I've read article after article that details the prejudice, the inhumanity and the outright ignorance of those who would proclaim themselves "better people" because they have U.S. Citizenship. Well, the comments found here are proof that where you are born has nothing to do with the level of class or humanity you will have as you mature.
As an American and a Native American ...<< MORE >>
Ken Olberman has something to say about the Health Care issues that should shine a light on the whole topic. If you aren't able to see why the health care reform package is falling apart, this special report should help you to take a new look at it.
In today’s paranoid society anything can happen. It’s truly a historic opportunity in some ways to monitor and observe how a society can feed upon its own ignorance and then convince itself that acting against their own interests will have the best results.
I can only imagine that this was the way that every large Empire finally collapsed, spurred on by the elite rich bastards in their contemporary social settings causing more and more of the money to vanish into thin air, while those at the bottom manage to get dumber and dumber until a point ...<< MORE >>
Hello to the folks running the White House:
As you sit back and watch how the Republicans are running circles around you guys on the health care issue, it must strike some of you as something that seems out of place. If you take into account the wide majority that the Democrats hold in the House, then look at the Senate with a filibuster breaking 60 votes, you would think that these issues would be a breeze to get past.
Well, how come that isn't the case? It comes down to a simple fact of life that ...<< MORE >>
This was my letter to Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, after I joined the Drup Policy Alliance Network. Honestly folks, it's time we stopped this bullshit and started focusing on what works-and arresting people isn't the answer that the law enforcement community has been selling to us all these years.
I urge you to join the Drug Policy Alliance Network also by clicking on the link after the letter!
Senator:
I am writing to you today to urge you to do something for the people you represent that is desperately overdue. I understand that there are two bills ...<< MORE >>
