Talk about throwing out wild scenarios based on nothing that has come out so far. You leftist's aren't wired right. Liberalism is truly a disease. You can't discuss things with mentally handicapped people. Have a good day.
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 ?
All businesses are profit driven the banksters are no exception.This is because we have an economic system the purpose of which is to generate profit(PROFIT SURVIVAL MENTALITY).
From the duel illusions of Insufficiency and Disunity our economy emerges ,we are all separate from each other and there is not enough to go around ,this is why 5% of the people hold more than 80% of the world,s wealth and resources and greed has allowed us create a society that functions this way!!!!
Right now on Earth we believe that there is not enough to around so we compete and hoard stress and strain and kill and die for this fallacy.
There is enough of everything that we think we need ,to be peaceful and happy upon this planet.There is enough of everything we need to survive,the manufacturing of poverty with the tool,s of greed is a creation of our own devise.
Do you think life could create insufficiency for the continuation of life ,Humans are so arrogant in there beliefs and are so blind by there understandings,we have blinded ourselves with greed and cannot see our own headlong fall into the abyss of our own creation.
There is enough for EVERYONE all we have to do is not abuse the resources and make them available for all of us and provide opportunities.
We can do this were we to LIVE SIMPLY SO OTHERS MAY SIMPLY LIVE.
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.
We're pretty much held hostage by our credit score aren't we? Potential employers can check this and disqualitfy you for a job if your credit is bad. I wonder when this happened. Why should I, a person with an excellent loan payback history, continue to be forced to hold and use credit cards (or take out a loan for a new car, etc.) when my diminished income won't sustain such use? I'm trying to be responsible in lean times, but am being punished instead. I think this is really crazy.
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.

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.
Working in this system is checks & balances -- division and separation of power(s). This actually is the most important thing in this system, called "democracy". Why? Because any human is not to trust. We know that, the Bible says it and is right in this point. You can call it sinful, or just selfish. Mitt Romney calls it: "Greed is good!" That's why checks & balances is the most important aspect in our system. cfa practice questionscfa level 1 practice questionsCFA Level 3 Practice questionsCFA Level 2 Practice questionsccna practice test
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 ukralph lauren salepolo ralph laurenabercrombie

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.
I believe that we have all been had by the credit, insurance, real estate, and banking system. Most of us could very well do without credit cards and spend only what money we have. Credit, borrowing, is the trap...the spider web..the black hole that entraps us and then sucks us dry with interest.
The credit spin meisters have psyched us all into believing that credit is necessary. In fact, it is not necessary, it is merely a convenience...if you can afford it. If you cannot afford to pay for convenience then you should avoid it. How can it be in one's interest, if one is having such a hard time affording the necessities like food, clothing, housing, etc., to add on to those expenses the 20-35% interest fees? Oh, yeah, I forgot, you just have to have the latest electronic toy...cell phone..or big screen TV! I can't wait to see the long lines waiting to buy the new iPad Phantom...the one so small...it's invisible!
The casino capitalist predators use all the psychology in their arsenals to get people to act against their own best interest by making them want things they can't afford, then to borrow money they can't afford to pay back with exorbitant interest charges. And then they turn right around and blame the victims for being suckers. The whole credit business is a scam...and they get you to believe that you absolutely need to have a good credit score. Problem is that when you have a good credit score they inundate you with junk mail wanting you to invest with them, or sell you something or other.
And I agree that fractional reserve banking system is totally criminal. What a scam! And Thom is correct...we need to bring manufacturing back to the US and I believe we need to slam shut the doors of the FIRE economy...that is the other big scam that is ruining us all. Finance Insurance and Real Estate all based on scamming people.
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.
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.
Without going into detail, yes we could manage just fine without credit, in fact I've never paid a penny in interest on a credit card in my life. This said, I also realize that because there are no real restrictions on how much a job creator can siphon, "steal," from his wealth creators, "employees", especially in non union settings, it's pretty hard for many working people not to rely on credit just to get by.
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.
I wouldn't exactly say it's tolerated, but it definitely crept up on a lot of people and caught many by surprise. It was done slowly and behind the scenes. Only in this past year has it become glarlingly apparent to most. Of course there are those who remain blinded to the truth since they only see that which they believe. Believing is seeing, not vice versa.
Off topic, but I was pleased to see that George Zimmerman was arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder. May we hope that this will end this very ugly law, which is in about 20 states now? Trayvon gave his life to bring this to the light and I honor his sacrifice.
Well that's a mighty big IF. Like IF George had actually fought back before grabbing a gun he probably would have knocked Tryavon off him. IF he had a hand free enough to aim and shoot a gun, why wasn't he able to clock him upside the head. IF you weren't a right wing crank, maybe you would have some better arguments then someone else's regurgitated talking points.
BTW no matter how you play out the scenarios... they always have to begin with the fact that George Zimmerman initiated contact. I'm sure Zimmerman thinks that the story of being attacked by Trayvon physically is quite a worthy reason to shoot him... probably why he fabricated it. Unless there are medical records or photos of these supposed injuries that have yet to be leaked, and that doesn't even pass the laugh test, such info would have been leaked long ago.
Funny how you didn't address the innocent until proven guilty hypocrisy of your argument.
Well go ahead and just pivot to another talking point, the people who do you thinking are so clever.
So instead of a thoughtful counter argument, you'll end with name calling.
Yeah you're wired to the right obviously.
