That's why you're the Mathboy. Also, there was some communist, but not really statist, factional tendency in the French Revolution and there was a lot of communism and anarchosyndicalism in the workers' rebellions and uprisings of the Second Republic of the 1840s when the Paris Commune was briefly established but what we understand as socialism wasn't concretely imagined by the public probably until after the Russian Revolution of 1917.
I was very appreciative of your ideas for laws regulating gun ownership the same as we regulate autos, with training, registration and insurance requirements. I hope you mention this to Bernie when he is on Brunch with Bernie. Bernie does need to pepper some of his campaign speeches with suggestions such as this.
I would also like you to talk more on your shows about the urgency of voters to vote in the primary elections and not just be November Democrats. Many new voters do not realize the importance of the primaries.
I don't want to be selfish by being another "gimme, gimme" constituent of Bernie Sanders, and certainly I don't advocate interrupting him on the podium during his campaign speeches. But I can't help myself by trying to get notice for some 600K senior citizens in foreclosure on their scam reverse mortgages, especially those who became underwater due to the banking crisis and lost their lifetime of savings in their homes. These were folks who did not just plunk down a small downpayment before their underwater situations. They were people who worked a lifetime to build equity and savings. Yet bank settlements were sent to Governors of the various states and none trickled down to individual victims such as these.
I would ask you to mention this to Bernie and to read details here where I am trying to raise funds for his campaign. Donate to Bernie's campaign on behalf of 600K seniors in Foreclosure on Rev.Mortgages. http://bit.ly/1JD7IDg
D'Anne Marc and Kend, it is a big deal because, whatever rationale you want to put on it - "They should be able to get an ID, no problem."; "It's real simple, no big deal." - the result is gonna be that tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people will be disenfranchised, i.e., they will be denied the right to vote and that will skew the results of the elections many thousands of times more than the small handful of people who vote illegally now do.
Kend, if you were one of the Pope's bishops he would fire you.
You can't blame him for hundreds of years of corruption. You know he doesn't approve of "all that gold and his followers are starving".

A troll is one who posts deliberately offensive messages to a newsgroup or message board, employing abusive and bullying language in order to disrupt or to provoke heated argument. The troll does not discuss controversial issues in a measured, courteous, or civil manner. Rather, he seeks to provoke anger and inflict humiliation. The presence of a troll in a newsgroup or on a message board can stifle the open, helpful, and collegial interchange of thought and feelings which is the aim and benefit of such groups; it also dampens the enjoyment of other participants. What motivates the behavior of trolls no doubt varies, but their hostility and flagrant disrespect for others likely point to deep-seated anger, insecurity, and fear—manifesting a paranoid sense that those who disagree with them are enemies. Trolls in social media usually offer little or no information about themselves, hiding behind anonymity as a cover for their antisocial behavior.
cccccttttt; Great piece, I've longed supported Fusion as our only future source of power for the entire planet. No doubt that the preliminary research and development will be expensive but this is no time to go on the cheap, we've gone that route before and it ended up costing us far more than first touted by the so-called experts. China has, during it's various past scientific missions, already determined that there are vast quantities of a common substance on the Moon that would serve to fuel Fusion Reactors and they have actually acquired and refined that substance and tested it in one of their prototype Fusion Reactors. We had an opportunity to join in this development but we no longer do any real science in this country when there are so many wars to fund with taxpayer's money and fight to establish absolute corporate ownership of all the planet's resources !
It gets just a little harder to be positive these days. I use to be proud of the things we did in America. Then we had Nixion. Like so many republicans, he sold his soul for a power position, and then his insecurities set in and he became the CROOK that he was. Since then I have seen so many let the power we give them go the wrong direction. They seem so wraped up in their political careers they seem to lose sight of what the purpose of their service is that we elected them for. They forget that they are responsible for OUR well being. We have worked so hard to maintain equality in this country, only for so many that are elected to congress to fling their desires in our faces, and they expect us to only sit and watch the game.
No Thank you. I see potentian in Bernie and Hillary. I will find it hard to make a choice in this election but I will vote left, because that is our only hope. We need to get out of the slump and move forward. I'm tired of the silly games Congress plays because they don't want to work for our country and our elected president. I'm tired of the witch hunts they heap on their competion on the left. When they show they are worth it, we need to keep them, when they only produce nothing, we need to remove them and work hard to do it.
I am of the opinion that We have 3 Great Leaders coming from the state of NM, and I have backed them in their campaigns. Monatarily, and support them doing volenteer jobs. They keep me updated everyday in emails so I know what they are doing in congress. Every congress man should do that with those who support them. Don't buy a pig in a poke. Keep yourself informed.
10/2/15Will the oil elite of today own the fusion machines of tommorow? (article from Phys.Org on new study:
Fusion reactors could become an economically viable means of generating electricity within a few decades, and policy makers should start planning to build them as a replacement for conventional nuclear power stations, according to new research.
Researchers at Durham University and the Fusion Energy Center in Oxfordshire, have re-examined the economics of fusion, taking account of recent advances in superconductor technology for the first time.
Their analysis shows the financial feasibility of fusion energy in comparison to traditional fission nuclear power.
"Obviously we have had to make assumptions, but what we can say is that our predictions suggest that fusion won't be vastly more expensive than fission."
Such findings support the possibility that, within a generation or two, fusion reactors could offer an almost unlimited supply of energy without contributing to global warming or producing hazardous products on a significant scale.
Fusion reactors generate electricity by heating plasma to around 100 million degrees centigrade so that hydrogen atoms fuse together, releasing energy.
They create almost no radioactive waste. Fusion energy is also politically safer because a reactor would not produce weapons-grade products that proliferate nuclear arms. It is fueled by deuterium, or heavy water, which is extracted from seawater, and tritium, which is created within the reactor, so security of the supply is no problem.
A test fusion reactor, ITER, is about 10 years away from operation in France.
The study authors hope it would help persuade policy-makers and the private sector to invest more heavily in fusion energy.
"While there are still some technological challenges to overcome we have produced a strong argument, supported by the best available data, that fusion power stations could soon be economically viable. We hope this kick-starts investment to overcome the remaining challenges and speeds up the planning process for the possibility of a fusion-powered world."
The report focuses on recent advances in high temperature superconductors. These materials could be used to construct the powerful magnets that keep the hot plasma in position inside the containing vessel, known as a tokamak, at the heart of a fusion reactor.
This advancing technology means that the superconducting magnets could be built in sections rather than in one piece. Maintenance, which is expensive in a radioactive environment, would be much cheaper because individual sections of the magnet could be withdrawn for repair or replacement, rather than the whole device.
For a fusion plant, the only radioactive waste would be the tokamak, when decommissioned, which would have become mildly radioactive during its lifetime.
Inequality... where to start? It was 21 years ago, when my husband and I decided to move off grid, because things were just getting too hard to manage in the city. We were fortunate to find a 10 acre spot about 25 miles from the closest power line, and 6 miles of dirt road one way, from the pavement. We lived in a 16' x 32' military surplus tent while working on a more sustainable structure. We were fortunate to find this, because we are both disabled, and living on Social Security, together making about $1400 a month now. We raised 3 children here, and homeschooled them here, with no help from family, because we have no family that was willing to help. (Another story) It seems everywhere we turned, we were just unable to qualify for any assistance with any kind of help. We made too much for health care, until I became disabled enough to qualify for long-term care.
It has been a slow road of getting a small amount of solar, a few batteries, and an inverter in order to have the power we have now, which is not even enough for full-time use of a refrigerator.
My husband is now my caregiver. When he first started out, he was making $10.50 an hour, for 19.5 hours a week. As my health got worse, and the care was privatized, my hours dropped to 16. a week, and his pay dropped to $9.50 an hour. I had a several year fight to get my hours back up to 19.5, the original amount, as my health is still not as good as it was when I first got on the long term care. Inequality? Yes, as people get sicker, they are given less. My husband is still not receiving the pay he had when he first took on my care. When the county had thiz program, they took good care of us, now, we have had several case managers, and because the state has cut funding to the health department, my husband can no longer get the annual TB test required to care for me at the discounted rate of $15, and has had to look to private clinics to get it, and now pays $30. This is because his health care will not authorize his getting this annually. The medicaid he is on, will not authorize this.The company he works for to caread for me also will not pay for this. Any training he may need, any fingerprints he has to get, or the biannual CPR classes, all are his responsibility to pay for. When the county had this it was all covered. No longer is this the case.
We could not survive living in the city under this kind of income, and now with the needs of our disabilities, we live very minimally, and if it wasn't for our now adult children, would not be able to even afford food. We have applied for food assistance, and every time, it gets lost or mislaid, or not responded to until the deadline dates., therefore we are denied this assistance. We have nowhere to turn and now have been doing our best to help Bernie Sanders campaign in every way we can.
We the People must work together to get the many unfair, and unequal things happening cleared from our country. There is so many areaz, it seems iverwhelming, but there are many people to do this work, so we must do it. I have made many friends in my efforts. I have shared Bernie Sanders ideas with many as well, and people are now turning to me to find out how they can get involved with helping get this movement going. I am just one person, with the message of hope through Bernie, and that we must all work together peacefully in order to get the greedy corporations out of our lives. We boycott all we can, and wish we could afford to do more.
All my adult children live with us on the property. We all share in the expenses. We couldn't make it if we didnt. We are also white people, and understand that white privalige iz the reason we are left alone by the local law enforcement. Oh, they have been out here checking on making sure the children here are not being neglected. That too is unfair. We should not be questioned for living with solar, and trying to live without the fossil fuels that are being crammed down our throats.
This is how we are working to make a difference, and started this before Bernie, and are hoping others can make a stand too. We have done very little in the grand scheme of things. There is so much more to be done, and we must stand and work together as humanity to get our lives back to a sustainable means.
Yeah, that impresses the hell out of me. Massive subsidies, state imposed edicts, and they hope, really hope they might achieve 33% of electricity generation by 2020 - that's not % of consumption which will be much lower due to needing to import 33% of their electricity. That's pathetic for the largest state economy in the US.
And Biomass is not "clean energy" as the super-rich cretins at the UCS claim. In fact it is every bit as dirty as Coal energy. Biomass combustion kills over 3 million people every year according to the WHO.
So California hoping for 33% renewables after 40 yrs of all-out effort, including imports (why can't they generate that themselves - I thought they were big on distributed energy?) By 2014 California has only achieved 3.5% with its own Solar & 4.4% Wind, of its electricity consumption. The only renewables that are actually growing.
Compare California's miserable achievement & renewable dreasms with France which went form 0-70% cleaner & greener nuclear in 20 yrs with a mundane effort. Now at 78% Nuclear and 90% Clean Nuclear + Hydro electricity. And that is not imported - generated right in France.
Similarily little old Ontario achieved 62% nuclear in 2014 with It's own indigenous CANDU PHWR natural uranium, nuclear. With clean hydro that's 84% clean energy in 30 yrs of effort, could throw in an extra 3% for not-so-clean wind for 87% total. You don't hear anything on the corrupt MSM about Ontario or France. Endless hype about California & Germany however. With Germany's 76% of its electricity coming from non-Renewable sources in 2013, really 79.5% since they don't like to call conventional hydro "renewable". And a whopping 6.1% solar in 2014. Which ain't gonna increase much anymore with the rapid drop in installations. Pathetic.
I've come to the realization that we have only one major political party: The Capitalist Party. Yes, the Capitalist Party has two wings, or two sects if you will. The rightwing Republicans and the middle of the road, Democrats. True, their are major differences between these two sects. But ultimately, they are just divisions of the same party; The Capitalist Party...and Capitalism is, in reality, nothing more than a big pyramid scheme.
Just ordered two copies of The Essential Bernie Sanders from Amazon. Plan to drop by my local B&N tomorrow to buy or order another copy of same. I will become a lending library for the time being. Hint-hint Bernie-ites! Go thou and do likewise. The unwashed masses need the word.
Established in 2002 under Senate Bill 1078, accelerated in 2006 under Senate Bill 107 and expanded in 2011 under Senate Bill 2, California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) is one of the most ambitious renewable energy standards in the country. The RPS program requires investor-owned utilities (IOUs), electric service providers, and community choice aggregators to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33% of total procurement by 2020. See the Program Overview page for more information.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) implements and administers RPS compliance rules for California’s retail sellers of electricity, which include investor-owned utilities (IOU), electric service providers (ESP) and community choice aggregators (CCA). The California Energy Commission (CEC) is responsible for the certification of electrical generation facilities as eligible renewable energy resources, and adopting regulations for the enforcement of RPS procurement requirements of Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs). Additional information pertaining to the CEC’s roles in California RPS program can be found here.

“Don’t legalize pimps” is an idea quite good,
but let this not be misunderstood:
Much more horrid is the WALL STREET pimp
who channels our economy for the Colonels Blimp, ...
... for the pompous capitalists deceitfully to primp
to trick their “johns”, the rest-of-us,
into thinking that They are the best-for-us. -

that we let ‘em succeed, while the rest-of-us scrimp.

Wasn't the subject politics?
As a small measure of protection against the corporate oligharchy, would appreciate
hearing the pros and cons of an ordinary family forming a shell company.
Their wealth would be protected by the same scum bag practices that attorneys
for corporations have made an art form.
They would also get "felony protection" as do the banks that launder
drug money, and car companies that find it more cost effectvie to kill people
than make a safe gas tank.
Every advantage that these whore senators sell to MicroSoft, Exon, and GE

But ultimately, they are just divisions of the same party; The Capitalist Party...and Capitalism is, in reality, nothing more than a big pyramid scheme.
Just ordered two copies of The Essential Bernie Sanders from Amazon. Plan to drop by my local B&N tomorrow to buy or order another copy of same. I will become a lending library for the time being. Hint-hint Bernie-ites! Go thou and do likewise. The unwashed masses need the word.
California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program
Union of Concerned Scientists FACT SHEET
California Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS)
Established in 2002 under Senate Bill 1078, accelerated in 2006 under Senate Bill 107 and expanded in 2011 under Senate Bill 2, California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) is one of the most ambitious renewable energy standards in the country. The RPS program requires investor-owned utilities (IOUs), electric service providers, and community choice aggregators to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33% of total procurement by 2020. See the Program Overview page for more information.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) implements and administers RPS compliance rules for California’s retail sellers of electricity, which include investor-owned utilities (IOU), electric service providers (ESP) and community choice aggregators (CCA). The California Energy Commission (CEC) is responsible for the certification of electrical generation facilities as eligible renewable energy resources, and adopting regulations for the enforcement of RPS procurement requirements of Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs). Additional information pertaining to the CEC’s roles in California RPS program can be found here.
