Submitted for your approval…

So…why did I decide to share this paper with the world? Well, I have my reasons–most notably because I do not want to see our economy get thrown into the wood chipper by the inept psychopaths in charge of our banking system. That, and I needed a URL to use for my Creative Commons license. …

Why I distrust paleolibertarian and anarcho-capitalist theories

I was doing some research into the effects of privatization and came across a serious article that read like bad satire. It suggested (in a rather racist way)  razing public housing and selling the land to the highest bidder, eliminating welfare, and abolishing public schools. There were also other anarcho-capitalist suggestions that were so dumbfoundingly …

The Best Documentary You Might Not Have Heard About (Warning: contains spoilers)

American Drug War

Back in 2008, a rather small and highly independent documentary came out about the War on Drugs. The filmmaker, Kevin Booth, is not as well-known as his more famous (read: Michael Moore) or younger (read: Josh Fox) peers. As far as brass cojones go, he is no less impressive. I recently (read: five days ago) …

Blackout day

Tomorrow is the anti-SOPA World Blackout Day. I have installed a WP plugin that will help me to participate. It is a voluntary participation, and I am 100 percent against SOPA, the “Protect IP Act” and the actions of the RIAA and MPAA to censor the Internet. We will all be negatively affected should these …

A true story about True Stories

A funny thing happened on the way to this blog: a long and very strange trip through life.  I was living in Dallas, TX around the time that David Byrne was filming what would become the movie True Stories.  I did not audition because, well, all I had to ride was a bicycle and I …

Once Upon a Time at Occupy SF…

Yes, I know that all over the USA there has been violent police repression against peaceful Occupy Together activists, much of it involving the use of tear gas and pepper spray.  I know it really fits a tragically predictable storyline that all cops are pigs.  Okay, most of them are.  I’ll give you that.  I …

Sign this petition, please

I am concerned about how the U.S. Government has been raiding the Social Security Trust Fund to prop up tax cuts for the wealthy.  I started a petition for U.S. citizens to sign, and I would love it if those who register for the White House’s We The People website could sign it.   https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/stop-practice-raiding-social-security-trust-fund-balance-federal-budget/WVNs5ncc …

I am spam-free now!!! (Let’s test this out, shall we?)

I got so tired of tredging through the spambot comments that have plagued me since I began using WordPress, so now I hope to have that situation under control. Goodbye, spambots…I hope. We’ll see what happens now. In order to make sure that I have no spam problems, I have sadly had to delete all …

It all comes down to just us

I have to say that, after hearing this latest Special Comments by Keith Olbermann, I have never felt more energized about my place in this world.  For about a week I was feeling depressed over many things: my recent birthday driving me one year away from being half a century old, the political posturing that …
