Pigs are smart

-

Okay. Pigs are smart. So are dogs, especially our own dogs, like our children theyre always smart and show lots of promise early on. We see them as finished products, and then an odd thing happens, life happens. But i still wince inside when my adult children, other adults tell me how well the children are doing- good grades, play soccer, have plans for good colleges, the whole success gambit, so why do i wince. Because i know life happens in such a way for each individual that everyone runs into obstacles, and the truth is, we can only hope those obstacles dont become dead stops.


With billions of dollars thrown at the homeless problem, someone is going to look at the failure of actually resolving any part of the problem. Is it really that complicated to figure out? 

Its because the actual problem, or reason, for homelessness has never been honestly evaluated. Its the same reason that many other economic disparity issues cant be resolved. Because we (sic) believe that money solves all problems. What happens to the money, nearly all those billions have gone to consultants, experts, politicians, corporate interests, construction, architects, those billions, rather than going toward a population in desperate need, has gone toward the lifestyle of our resoundingly solid capitalist system, which if you dont know it yet, or REALIZE ( realization) is based on profit, a euphemism for greed.

And no, sorry all you reactionary and progressive people, im not talking about small business enterprises, who always get all the blowback about capitalism, but im saying the rich, wealthy corporate business practices embedded in all our social, political, legal institutions.

  Don't Obey   It’s the people who obey the orders who scare me Not the ones who give them, those you can ignore. It’s the obedient, whose conscience is devoid of reasoning. For when consent is based on authority alone Freedom and true democracy cannot reign, REAL Democracy is merely giving temporary consent, each time, Not relegating power, forever

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis
