What
a speech! I usually have a pretty low opinion of hollywood celebs and
the tripe they spout, but hats off to Chris (Ashton) Kutcher for
dropping these words of wisdom on the youth http://ow.ly/nSz2e
Here's a simple test:
1. Are you concerned about the loss of our main streets, including
family-owned retailers and book stores? But do you nonetheless buy
online, and order books and other goods from Amazon?
2. Are
you upset about the poverty-level wages paid by big-box retailers like
Walmart? But do you nonetheless buy from big-box retailers?
3. Are you concerned about the sharp decline in the wages of
middle-class workers such as flight attendants, pilots, mechanics? But
do you seek and get the lowest-cost discount flights?
4. Are
you upset at the loss of good paying unionized factory jobs? But do you
buy the cheapest goods you can find, even if not made by unionized
workers in America?
5. How much more would you be willing to
pay for a garment made abroad but which you knew was made by workers who
worked in a safe factory, were paid a decent wage, and were over the
age of 14?
I could go on, but you get my point. For many of us
there's a disconnect between our values and our actual behavior in the
market. Are we simply hypocritical? Maybe. But it could also be because
we assume that any sacrifice we might make in terms of paying more would
be useless if others don't make the same sacrifice. Under these
circumstances, markets can only reflect the values we share if laws ban
certain trades that violate those values.
The
most interesting political clash coming up in a few weeks won't be
between Republicans and Democrats but between regressive Tea Party
Republicans and other Republicans -- and the issue will be the
regressives' proposal to shut down the government if financing isn't
pulled from the Affordable Care Act. Most of the efforts to shame
members of Congress who aren't holding town halls during August recess
are coming from Tea Party groups and are focused on congressional
Republicans who haven't yet committed to a shut-down. According to Karl
Rove (whom I rarely quote), appearing a few days ago on Sean Hannity's
radio show (which I rarely listen to), Democrats aren't scared of a
shutdown. "They want it. This is the one strategy, the one tactic that
might be able to guarantee that the Democrats pick up seats in the
Congress in 2014." I think Rove is right (first time I've ever agreed
with him). So my advice to Tea Party Republicans: Bring it on.

Why did cops kill this 95-year-old in walker?
The elderly man refused the operation, and paramedics attempted to
involuntarily transport him for medical treatment. He was sitting in a
chair, holding a cane and a shoe horn when police arrived at the Victory
Centre senior living facility located just south of Chicago.
The Cook County medical examiner reported that Wrana bled to death
internally from injuries caused when the elderly man was shot in the
stomach with a 12-gauge shotgun that fired a bag filled with lead shot.
The death has been ruled a homicide, according to reports.

Activist Post: Child Sex Trafficking and the Oklahoma State Government
The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect
in 1998 reported that six times as many children died in foster care
than in the general public and that once removed to official “safety”,
these children are far more likely to suffer abuse, including sexual
molestation than in the general population.
That
according to the California Little Hoover Commission Report in 2003,
30% to 70% of the children in California group homes do not belong there
and should not have been removed from their homes.
…poor
parents often times are targeted to lose their children because they do
not have the where-with-all to hire lawyers and fight the system. Being
poor does not mean you are not a good parent or that you do not love
your child, or that your child should be removed and placed with
strangers.
