(somewhat) Interesting sidenote: "Women in refrigerators" has been a big meme in the world of comic books the last several years. Begat by writer Gail Simone (the name of her old and long-running blog) to comment on the excessive

Responsibilities as a consumer? As a tax-payer for utilities he is no longer dependent upon?

I'm implying what's happening in the UK is not a new or uncommon thing. Real freedom of the press is on its way out the door in general, which I think should suggest that any ideal of a healthy democracy is a pipedream, particular

I don't see how depriving the machine of a cog can be construed as complacency. I've had several windows of unemployment and homelessness, sometimes by fate and sometimes by choice, and it is never an easy route. Like the saying g

I think parallels are blatant. Such money-worship is exactly what most persons today equate with success, and that same religious fervency is precisely what is destroying the world at large. I think real success entails principles that Capi

I think I have been silently screaming to read something like this for ages and ages. Capitalism, the godless religion. Thank you for that link.

Except that none of these things will happen, as with the previous dozen or so times of the decade past, the Powers That Be will just raise it up yet again when next backing themselves into a corner.

I think that poll is incredibly biased and wishful thinking. I have been through too many neighborhoods around the country where people had neither the means or interest to do anything whatsoever online. I know several public schools in my

I'd say that wealthier people commit crimes over not having what they want, whereas not so wealthy people commit crimes over not having what they need. There's a mighty big divide between greed and desperation.

There is always a third alternative, one that would be a heckuva lot more humane than either of these options. The ability to buy or sell anything is not where respectability comes from (but it is where every ailment of the modern world com

The persons with the power and authority to enact change are precisely the ones who would lose power and authority in the doing. So it will not happen, not by working within the system. Rallies and petitions and the like are wholly useless.

Very interesting thoughts there. I have an uncle who has taught Philosophy at the University level at one of those ivy-eating colleges in Massachusetts for over twenty years. He's fond of saying that Philosophy is a dead science, that

I think in today's world, not only are corporations/collectives people too, but they have far more rights than actual individuals in every conceivable manner. Regarding the cloak and dagger stuff, there is no real legal justificat

Oh, I don't have much faith in the inner fortitude of my fellow man. The unwashed masses are still watching reality television, ya know.

To be fair, there is plenty of documentation that diverse subliminals find their ways into television programming, and even the music in supermarkets. Just like Fight Club. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_messa

What an incredibly ignorant response. America's issues go a wee deeper than just the Iraqi fun and instigating the global economic crises of the past decade. Like the invasion of Iran in the 1950s, as but one of endless examples going
