This is what we now have to deal with in our world because of capitalism/corporatism run amok! Trying to rein in the big corporations is like bolting the barn door after the horse has run off. Thank you, Ronald Reagan, George H.W Bush, Duhmbya Bush, and Dick Cheney -- and all Congressional representatives (supposed to represent US, tho' they only represent...

Top Kill for Oil Leak is not working -- more disaster ahead
The nightmare continues... Interesting, isn't it, that we hear nothing from the Bushes or the Cheneys about this. Their chumminess with big oil and their insistence on deregulation of big companies has delivered this disaster to our country. Even Big Mouth Liz Cheney is keeping mum. They're all hunkering down in their palatial...
WWII Soldier speaks of personal torment in his recently found poem
What comment can there be, when you know you'd feel the same as he? A heart-touching poem by a soldier from WWII. LONG-LOST POEM REVEALS SOLDIER'S ANGUISH What does it feel like to kill a man? James Lenihan of Brooklyn, New York, knew. He fought in Europe in World War II and he killed a German soldier during a battle in Holland. He described how it...
Backwards Planet, Backwards Civilization
This article should be required reading for every politician and corporate head, not that they would pay the least attention to it. They're far too busy feathering their own nests while the nests of the birds on the Louisiana coast are covered with thick, slimy crude oil--all because Cheney/Bush told Big Oil, Big Banks, and other corporations that...

Oil spill debacle -- where is Obama?
What a disappointment Obama has been as President. Those of us who voted for him and expected so much more are appalled by his lack of attention to this oil spill catastrophe. The corporations rule our world and we the people are all looked on as dispensable by the elite who now run everything for their own profit. I'd like to ask all conservative...

If they and their dittoheads prevail in their insanity,...

Oil spill video -- scenes from the air
Our dependence on oil has to end. The Sarah Palin "drill baby, drill" type of consciousness must die out and be replaced by intelligent, environmentally-conscious decisions on the part of our leaders. Below is an amateur video of the oil spill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=did-S6XbpMM ...

Jon Stewart video re. Obama vs. Bush years
This is a very humorous take on how the Republicans are using old Bush comparisons to denounce each and every Obama move now. After trying to convince us for 8 years that everything Bush did was relevant and intelligent, all of a sudden the conservative pundits/politicians are using all the Bush gaffes/mishaps/mistakes to compare Obama to in...
