When did we agree to organizing our societies around ponzi schemes?<br /><br />Hi Toe. Bruce Campbell's article at link also very good. It is not noted often enough that rage against crap use of our taxes is effectively diverted against our public institutions by the very people who have wrecked them. <br /><br />Thwap : I too hope that one day soon the answer to <br />"The poor will always be with us"<br />will be a resounding <br />"Not this time, assholes!" <br /><br />Not sure how close we are though - continuing to serve drinks and appetizers and their firstborn to anyone with even slightly more economic power is still a pretty ingrained first resort survival strategy.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-44145255827152335412011-12-13T05:04:11.225-08:002011-12-13T05:04:11.225-08:00I truly believe we're on the cusp of something...I truly believe we're on the cusp of something huge here.<br /><br />It will either be "them" (the new globalized elite) or "us" (the majority of the world's people who simply want to make their way in the world).thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-35231274429298951872011-12-12T19:54:01.495-08:002011-12-12T19:54:01.495-08:00So we once had to follow the money, but in this ca...So we once had to follow the money, but in this case we must follow the meme's.

The only thing in common with the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement is that the people (the wage earners and underemployed and unemployed) know that they have NO SAY in their respective nations. <br /><br />Enright's interview with the former Icelandic President was brilliant. He put the will of the Icelandic people before the corporations and bankers. He basically called the market dictates on national economies and governance a scam.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-30337262671325080172011-12-12T13:41:29.156-08:002011-12-12T13:41:29.156-08:00Monbiot today: "...The men who own the corpor...Monbiot today: "...The men who own the corporate press are fighting a class war, seeking, even now, to defend the 1% to which they belong against its challengers..."<br /><br />http://www.monbiot.com/2011/12/12/unmasking-the-press/Holly Stickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137842937086115228noreply@blogger.com
