Fear, Blind Faith, Ignorance, Education, Science, Cowardice and Courage.
“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious – the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”
― Albert Einstein
The Middle East
To personalize this for a moment, imagine a bully sitting on a smaller child, and every time someone objects to the fact that the bully is beating the smaller child with an iron rod, the bully exclaims, “Well, he tried to slap me, so I was forced to defend myself.” No, you can’t claim that you’re beating the smaller child with an iron rod in self-defense, especially when you can end the entire confrontation simply by getting off him. Back to the political reality, Norman Finkelstein put it best: “The refrain that Israel has the right to self-defense is a red herring: the real question is, does Israel have the right to use force to maintain an illegal occupation? The answer is no.”

Be The Media! Stop the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
The Trans Pacific Partnership Agree is NAFTA on Steroids. It must be stopped. Obama, trade representatives of participating nations and 600 corporate advisers have been negotiating in secret for 4 years and have NOT kept our Congress notified of draft negotiations. This is totally unacceptable.
Death may be one of the greatest human blessings. ~00~
“I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.”

The Death Penalty
Innocent people are on death row and innocent people have been put to death.
These are irreversible tragedies. A recent study concludes that 4% of people on death row in America are not guilty. Since 1973, 144 prisoners on death row have been found to be innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted.
In a Nutshell
The rich are getting incredibly richer. The biggest
corporations pay little or no taxes (hiding money
offshore, or blatantly stashing $2.5 trillion right
here in the U.S.), the cost of higher education
is increasingly out of range of many in the middle
class (unless they go eyeball deep in debt),
employer-paid health care and pensions are disappearing…
Vintage Balance Scaleand so is the middle class. That’s just FACTS,
