Clarissa do you know why we need regulation from a government of by the people ?because in a highly evolved world there would be no government because ,they understand that they are all one,so self govern.

Humans are not sufficiantly enlightened for this so some kind of government is necessary until we do naturally what works .

We cannot legislate morality we cannot mandate equality .What is needed is a shift in collective consciousness not an enforcer of collective conscience .All behavior all laws and government programs must spring from beingness,it must be a true reflection of who we are .

All life is spiritual ,and therfore all of lifes,s problems are spiritually based-and spiritually solved.

The only hope of our planet is that we are not seperate but everything is intrinsically connected,irrevocably interdependent,interactive,interwoven into the fabric of all life.All government,all politics ,must be based on this truth.All laws must be rooted in it.

That is why i keep repeating that we are all one for this is truth and the rest is illusion ,do we wish for the illusion to continue ?

Occupiers tend to fade out great contingents of the 99%. Part of the 99% are also those teapartiers who brag "we have the guns". Part of the 99% also are the very uncritical and gullible masses, who feel like following the news from Hollywood and top-40s would be 'politics' enough. These people can't tell a political character, so you can easily sell them blue-dogs as progressives. The problem are those masses of political mupets, and this is why things go wrong in several counties. What do low approval rates of Congress tell us? Congress is the American parliament (of course it is, there's no American exceptionalism even in that!), this is the actual heart of our democracy. Democracy is not just voting for or against president Obama, it is above all happening in Congress. And progressives should know, if they send us blue-dogs there, because they're to uninformed to tell a liberal from a blue-dog, there won't be any progressive change possible. I hope this will work out better for coming November -- at least accidentally this time....

I'm not a pacifist, but don't see a civil war would be the solution. It would destroy America and finally there wouldn't be any winner..... but those who sell guns and ammunition. Civil wars are extremely profitable, and once they've started, the gun industry has always been highly interested to keep them going.

Those who talk about "revolution" have the imagination of children. The 99% are not united. In a divided country like the United States revolution without civil war is impossible. It would be Iraq at home.

I wonder what's to doubt here. Thom's and Louise's point here is, banksters tend to tempt low-educated, gullible people. And this leads to more social erosion, we cannot wish!

Here we need strict laws again and BIG GOVERNMENT to regulate banks have to mind whether their customers are solvent and able to pay credits back. Or would you like to see ripped off more houses and people ending up homeless?

We have to stop this erosion, it makes our economical situation worse. We can talk a lot, but basically I'm waiting for a progressive change in Congress after November. And the surest change is by progressive votes.

An oppression of the middle and lower classes definitely, but the uprising has barely begun. "Wake up America!" has been shouted for decades. Maybe America has finally awakened. phd writing service

Mitt-I have been unemployed for 3 yrs-5X longer than any previous period in my 27 yrs of adult life.For the 5 yr pre-Vancouver Winter Olympic cdl practice test construction boom, I earned from $26,000 to $40,000 a year.Then I had no income for 10 mos, burned through $14K in saving, plunged $3K in debt, applied cfa practice exam for welfare 16X and petitioned 2 MLAs, finally I got welfare, and have been on it for the last 30 mos.Almost all my meals come from the soup kitchens.I have to pmp practice exam eat with poly drug addicted alcoholics, the mentally ill, endure long lines full of smokers (I wear a bandana over my mouth).I gave up looking for work 2.5 yrs usmle practice test ago and am now going to college.I wonder if I'll ever work again.The only good news is that I am studying French and will go on an exchange to Quebec ged software this summer, but I doubt I will get a summer job and I'm sure that I will be deep in debt.

My, how easy it is for Silicon Valley to dupe liberals into believing they're "one of us." Obviously there were provisions in SOPA and PIPA that were insanely wrong, which is why both sides wanted that language taken out. The legistlation was premature which is why it was killed, thankfully. But the pro Google/Wikipedia rally was, quite frankly, nauseating and deeply troubling to behold -- especially from the news and opinion organizations like The Big Picture and Democracy Now that we patriots have come to depend on for helping us understand the issues better. ralph lauren uk ralph lauren sale polo ralph lauren abercrombie

America, please realize that we must eliminate the government programs, the "safety nets" that we all love so much, the ones that bankrupt our great nation. Once we do that, we can balance the budget with a progressive tax system that seeks more tax revenue from our wealthier citizens and encourages a strong and vibrant middle class. Do these two things, and we can move forward as a nation again mulberry outlet mulberry bags mulberry sale hollister

When immense power and trillions of dollars are at stake one shouldn’t be surprised if political competitors might lie outright in an attempt to win public support and an election. In the country that invented the marketing and advertising industry, the United States, slipping in a series of half truths or even outright lies should surprise few people.Still, the massive flow of intentional distortion and mis-representation coming out of Republican candidates surprises.Princeton economist Paul Krugman, a daily contributor to the New York Times, is a vigilant and reliable source for pointing out the truth when Republicans lie. At times Krugman can hardly keep up with the flood of inaccurate Republican information.

*Most people walk in and out of your life, but only FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart*

I believe that there are more liberals/progressives that are not without a gun or two and it certainly wouldn't be hard to get them anyway. What it comes down to is will and resolve. Are we going to continue to believe that some armored knight will ride in and save the day from a bunch of crazies? Or are we going to have the guts to actually defend ourselves? While it would be crazy for any one individual to act alone, because he/she would just be labeled as a lone nut and rejected by those who he felt he/she was fighting for, a growing organized resistance would be necessary.

But if the "Brown Shirts" start bashing in doors in our communities...you'd better either be prepared to throw yourself at their mercy or use whatever defense you have against them. And throwing oneself at the mercy of hateful bully boys never worked out very well in the past...did it?

Since we cannot really rely on the police to protect us (in fact, they are sometimes even the bully boys we loath), and are expected to just fill out an on-line report because, they claim, they don't have enough man power to respond, we may be risking our lives by hoping the police respond in time.

And since we have seen just how "well" the Democrats have "protected" us from capitalist predators, I don't have much hope that even if 100% of Congress and the President were Democrats that things would be much different.

What politicians say when campaigning for election, or re-election, cannot be believed. What really reigns supreme is money...those who have it will continue to control us....and keep us ever hopeful by skillful applications of lies. Those who continue to be wooed by those lies will fall into the "hope" trap which will keep them complacent and compliant for a little while longer.

How did we get from banking to Travon?

I think nobody really understands how horrible fractional reserve banking really is. Do you understand that every bank in the country essentially creates 9 dollars of new currency from every dollar they take in as deposits or borrow. Since we are no longer on the gold standard every time a new dollar get created it lowers the value of every other dollar out there.

If a bank has 10 milloin on its books it can loan out 100 million of money it dosn't have in the first place. Thusly creating new currency that never exsisted before. This means that the value of your $10,000 deposit was just reduced in value by 90%.

Don't even get me started on the ridiculous fees that banks can charge because theres no oversite! They are allowed to regulate themselfs. I recently was awarded $91.00 in a class action law suit against 5/3 bank which was juggling the overdraft order of checking accounts as to maximize the fees they could charge. $91.00 from over $1000.00 they stole from my account.

To big to fail...I think they should be broken into little pieces like Maw Bell. There to big to succeed.

I went to the mall on a Saturday with my family. I didn't spend a lot. No more that $150.00 but it was spread out over 20 charges. $5 here $8 there. Here comes 5/3 and instead of processing the charges against my account in the order they were recieved they switched the bigest charge first (a check I forgot about that hit the next day after all the other charges hit) so all the rest would bounce. $39.00 a pop times 20. Plus a minagery of other bogus fees. All tolled... over $1000.00 in fees.

You can keep big banks.

We must get big corp money and lobbyists out of politics. Citizens Inited must be repealed NO more very con judges who make not interpret law. US fought for Freedom of / from religeon .. Now evangelical run GOP passes laws and makes demands like the King of England.. Christianity has been sullied by politics, pedophile priests & get rich evangelists.. Jesus did not preach hate. Jesus said ' feed the hungry Heal the sick ' HE took a vow of poverty.
