A Revolution?

As with most revolutions in history, presently there is a long-awaited revolution occurring in our country - and around the world - against greed, corporate and government corruption, discrimination (on all levels), eroding personal rights and income inequality.
At present, the revolution is organized as demonstrations and - other one recorded death in the USA and possibly several injuries resulting from pepper spray and infrequent (but ever-present possibility of) police brutality - is essentially non-violent.  Granted, however, that there will always be troublemakers that will put the entire demonstration group in harm's way.

The current opposition to the status  quo of excessive executive bonuses of so-called public corporations, as shown by the recent Citibank stockholder vote against excessive executive bonuses, is an important step of a revolution that will possibly evolve into a full-scale conflict as opposition to change and resulting frustrations increases.

Here's a video from MSNBC taken at the very start of the Occupy Movement in the USA - can you see where this is may be going?

Woman's Health Panel

Contraception means more to most women than simply having sex without getting pregnant. Well documented, "the pill" can also help control many other medical ailments for women.

The right to contraception has been made a rather large issue amongst republicans looking for anything to give them leverage to regain power. Don't be fooled by the kangaroo panels, irate bishops, etc. they are a ploy to convince you to be one-sided on this issue. Republican senator Issa created a shock wave by convening an all-male panel to discuss woman's health issues and, if you are a woman, would you put your health welfare into these guy's hands?

Vote Republican? I think not.....

Justice for all.

An appropriate petition to president Obama:

"We, the undersigned, feel that at the beginning of your administration, you provided what we consider a "blanket pardon" to members of the Bush Administration for the reason of "moving our country forward". In doing that, you neglected to expose many acts of possible wrong-doing by members of the administration who had conducted and/or advised President Bush on many items including waging a war against a sovereign nation without proof that a significant "clear and present danger" to the United States or it's allies existed. The result of this single act mentioned resulted in massive destruction and wastefulness including the death and/or maiming of several thousand American military and support personnel, Iraqi civilians and the purposeful destruction of much of the Iraqi infrastructure. The war event and several other possible crimes must be investigated and individuals involved, no matter how highly placed in the administration, must also be investigated and, if criminal activity evidence is found, charged and answer for criminal activities proven, including war crimes, performed during their tenure in the Bush administration. We realize that investigations will be very expensive but feel that the American way of decency and "Freedom and Justice for all" must be preserved and protected at any cost. Thank you for reading our letter."

America's laughing-stock

The Supreme Court?

How about if we call it The Special - interest Court? I believe that would be much more accurate than the given name.
Actually, we shouldn't call the members Judges - how about "Protected Lobbyists" - just to be more accurate?

My favorite part of President Obama's 2010 State-of-the-Union speech was when the president confronted them for essentially opening the flood gates to establish unlimited, undocumented political contributions from corporations and special interests, both foreign and domestic.

I watched Sam Alito shaking his rather inflated head as the president spoke about their horrific decision. I was proud of Obama and enjoyed watching the "Justices" obvious uneasiness as he spoke.


The Supreme Court is, in reality, A Supreme Joke.

President Obama - you will need a much bigger stick for your 2nd term.
