Just A Quote. . .


The following quote is by Joe Conason at Truthdig.com”.
It pretty much states the GOP’s current hypocracy.


“Across America—and particularly in the red states that have rejected gay marriage—divorce rates are continually rising, along with teen pregnancies, out-of-wedlock births and single motherhood (which somehow afflict gay-friendly blue states far less).  Gay rights obviously isn’t the cause of marital strife and separation in those places where hostility to same-sex relationships is considered a religious duty.”

[The linked article is the source of the quote, and is very important to understand.]

Why Do You Keep Allowing?

“Last Call at the Oasis”
by Tara Lohan - May 11, 2012


“There are 1,200 Superfund sites the EPA can’t deal with, the government won’t save you.

For all our clean water laws, we aren’t very good at enforcement.  From 2004 to 2005 an investigation found that the Clean Water Act was violated more than half a million times.  It’s not just industry, but pesticides like atrazine, which we learn can be detected in the rain water in Minnesota when it’s being applied in Kansas.  In Michigan we see another awful side to Big Ag, the liquid waste from factory “farming,” known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.  These CAFOs threaten drinking water with chemicals, antibiotics and growth hormones.”

As always with Alternet, this article is a damn good read,
and an excellent perspective of our shared Pax Americana reality.

Have you noticed how many articles I link from Alternet?
It's because they do an excellent job of allowing truth to be authority,
rather than like FOX, where authority is manipulatively displayed as truth.

Excellent Quote. . .

“How Our Demented Capitalist System Made America Insane”
by Chris Hedges - April 30, 2012


“When civilizations start to die they go insane.  Let the ice sheets in the Arctic melt.  Let the temperatures rise.  Let the air, soil and water be poisoned.  Let the forests die.  Let the seas be emptied of life.  Let one useless war after another be waged.  Let the masses be thrust into extreme poverty and left without jobs while the elites, drunk on hedonism, accumulate vast fortunes through exploitation, speculation, fraud and theft.  Reality, at the end, gets unplugged.  We live in an age when news consists of Snooki’s pregnancy, Hulk Hogan’s sex tape and Kim Kardashian’s denial that she is the naked woman cooking eggs in a photo circulating on the internet.”

Just A Quote. . .


The following quote is by Bob Dylan in “Jokerman”.
It pretty much states our current status as a nation.


“Steal a little, and they put you in jail
Steal a lot, and they make you king.”

[The linked article is not related to the quote, but is very important to know.]

I know that this article is a warning of what has already come to be reality.
