Stop Using Credit Cards Today - Why?
When this economy that we are all under, that is driven by the two percent that rule us, the middle class and the working class suffer when the wrong switches and levers are pulled that benefit those two percenters. The banks and 'investment bankers' that turned houses into short term profits for themselves and then had to have the 'government' - taxpayers, you and me pay them to stay in business, it left the middle and working class with fewer jobs and the real prospect of starvation.
That's because the sweat of hardworking people are nothing but wage laborers and our work has become another way to make profits from - and can be discarded at the whim of the corporate oligarchy that has developed in the U.S. and the world.
We have no say regarding how our economy is used and manipulated, the people that do, you and I don't see, because it happens in rooms with no numbers, in buildings that have no names by people who pull those switches and levers, the very people that got us into this mess in the first place.
They are the ones that pay the politicians and media mines to make sure you and I have no chance, no chance at all. It's the media that is the lap dog of these two percenters. It's not a 'liberal' media; it's a corporate media that wins big when the political campaign season comes around and who pays this corporate media, the multi-national banks, oil, pharmaceuticals, and mega mega corporations. It's all about profits for the billionaires and starvation for the working people of this country.
... and most of us buy this corrupt system. How stupid is that? Really stupid.
So for a start, here's one idea. Start paying for things that you buy - in cash. That effects banks in a big way, stop using credit cards as much as possible. By doing that simple act you and I can begin to transform this stupid system over night.
If you can’t do that, write more checks, just stay away from credit cards.

The Working Class Needs to Wake Up
It's time for us 'socialist liberals' to get back on the streets and take down these job killing trade pacts that the middle and right wing politicians keep getting passed. The Wall Street and multi-national merchants of crap have been shafting the middle class and the working class and I must not forget the really big boys - 'dirty oil'.
Look I'm old enough to see this country divided by what happened in the south in the sixties, getting people with a skin color other than white a place at the dinner was a big deal – because of that white southern’s decided to vote for what every came along that coded things like 'get rid of the education department of the federal government' and the likes of what Rand Paul said to get elected in of course another southern state. He’s the prime example of trash talking dinner deniers who how resides in the Senate of all places, racism is not dead in this country by a long shot as Paul proves the point. The south is still a race bating election winning place of no hope - it's going to take a hundred years to get those white, racists mad men out, if every. Another one now resides in the Senate; raise the confederate flag high and tall over Rand Paul's state.
And so the saga goes on and on.
I have no idea how to convince a white guy with a high school education that when he votes for Republican 'fiscal conservatives' he's voting against his own interests - other to tell him he's in the spot he's end not because of us 'liberals' but because of the right wing radicals that call themselves fiscal conservatives.
So as a white man that grew up in a working class family and reside in that class today, it's time for us to tell my people, they got screwed by the people they keep electing. Wise up and get your butt in gear and demand that the government trade pacts all get scrapped so we white dudes who know how to build things, make things have a chance to do just that, because we don’t have that chance now.
It's not about black, white, brown, yellow or pink - it's about jobs and the corporate politicians that get their marching orders from people like WalMart, Exxion, Shell, BP, that's right multi-national monsters like that that now run this country and wipe out working class jobs by the millions here in this country, to go to hell.
So it's really time to take back this country and our streets, the time is ... NOW.

Big 5 Corporate Owned Supreme Court Judges
Not even Harry Potter has encountered a more diabolical plot. Five corporate-friendly judges on the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for corporate spending in our elections with the Citizens United decision, undoing years of established law. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a “non-profit” corporation funded by some of the richest corporations here and abroad, has spent more than tens of millions of dollars funding inaccurate attack ads to persuade voters to elect right-wing extremist corporate-funded candidates, and the final tally of all their spending and the front groups they stealthily support is not even in yet. That’s why we call them the “Chamber of Secrets.”

Path of Sanity
There are many people of like concerns that are traveling on a path of sanity. Their individual concerns all add up to the making of a path of sanity. Each person or group know that there needs to be solutions to these concerns but what they might be are not foreshadowed for many reasons. I have many issues of concern and as I travel along this path I look forward and I see people that are farther along the path than I, look back some who are just getting started, but we are all on this path to sanity.
I think we need a spokes person, one who could speak to a larger crowed and tell them about our path. We need a person that we look up to, respect and would voice our needs, hopes that would foreshadow what our individual stories are in a compelling way.
I think that person is Van Jones and I think we should ask him to take on the task of telling others about our Path of Sanity.

economics
The world economic system is in the process of being reinvented. It is taking place by people in sectors of the economy that don't know they are really on the cutting edge of that change.
They are questioning some of the most rooted ideas that have been around for hundreds of years. In the world of science people are questioning the existing incentive mechanisms, the open access to information, the ownership of intellectual property, does innovation drive technology or is it the other way round?
Was the industrial revolution a technology movement or a social movement? It appears that the industrial revolution was really a social movement that introduced, for example - the creation of a class of poor people, the idea of industrial jobs, capital flows. A social movement that created our existing economic model that we are all ruled by.
Here are a few more questions just for starters. Is there such a thing as venture capital philanthropy? Can our present economic system grow forever or are we faced with replacing growth with development?
The people of the world are facing massive change one way or the other, are we going to except the change that is happening without our understanding of what we are doing that is making this change or are we going to assess where we presently are and chart a new course. The course has to start with an economic system that is more democratic than the present one, for the ever expanding idea of growth is just not sustainable and the waste and sacking of the earth environment will only in the end reduce the human population in a way that is going to create massive dislocation and world wide die offs.
It's up to you.
