		<description>Hue Longer...Feel free to quote me anytime. The backstory on that speech is that I wrote it in the middle of the night - the night before my sentencing trial. I had been &#039;ordered&#039; to apologize (in my statement) to the people of the USA for protesting the war.  As you can see, I did apologize - to the people of Iraq.</description>

		<description>don,
with our selfservants; oops, public servants, on many missions impossibles/achievables, melting ice is just a curioso.
to prove how little they care about ice melting and iron-eating air, our selfservants are now waging a new war; that in pak&#039;n.

and they are on their way to siberia. It may heat up s&#039;mwhat but not like afrika.  And one can build golf courses in siberia. Siberia does not have  to be walled at all since most darkies will slowly  burn to death.

that also means the end of israel, iraq, jordan, syria, india, burma, laos, vietnam, et al.
so, where&#039;s the problem?</description>

  That is the latest data of the sea ice in the North.  That blue line is today and the dashed line 2007 record low.  The temperatures in the North are a tad bit above normal measured for the last 100 years.  Nature of the beast.  The reason that blue line is going down is because the ice up there is new ice melts faster.  More melt the water warms more ice melts and the weather not the climate changes in the Northern Hemisphere changes not good for crops and life forms.  I guest read a guy from a West coast paper who saw Earth 2100 and said the Earth will cool for the next thirty years.  This is not a game for some it seems so but it&#039;s not going to be that much fun.  Many more changes going on not just the ice in the North.  Again changes not good for crops and life forms.  The time is now today not in 10 or twenty years.</description>

		<description>Who watched Earth 2100 last night?  For those of you that did could that happen?  Well it already is happening.  I just got the latest update for the sea ice in the North and it doesn&#039;t look good.  We must start now today.  So far cap and trade is the best these so called leaders can do.  Cap and trade is mindless a joke on you and your kid&#039;s.  There is time if we start now and yes not easy and to not try life in the coming years not easy is the wrong way to put it.  To late for some changes and we need to prepare for that.  To drive a big car or small car is not preparing a little harder than that.  Boring it will not be.  At first energy needs to be produced in a clean way and it will take a Herculean effort.  So it will be very easy to see if we try.  When we see these so called leaders lose the suit and tie that could be one sign and the truth about what we all face could be another.  I like to call it the people of Earth speech.  We don&#039;t hear it and I guess all that means is more bullshit. The fight is on it sure is and somehow millions Capital one voice calm at peace and I still think as the Sun set&#039;s singing tomorrow, tomorrow it&#039;s only a day away could sent a message.  The group the fight is with do have money and power we have the truth and the knowledge use it. 

&quot;You must unlearn what you have learned.&quot; &quot;Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will...&quot;
 
 
&quot;You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. Use the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. &quot; 

   If there ever was a time for knowledge and defense it is now today. The good guy&#039;s the best minds we have are trying and need help. So far this new administration in the States don&#039;t seem to be those best minds just more illusion and illusion isn&#039;t going to get it. 

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler and soon.

Why can’t I just eat my waffle?

		<description>Michael Dawson... Here is an excerpt from a speech I gave at my sentencing trial.

&quot;...I have always been opposed to any form of violence. Seeing the photographs of the bombed Iraqi children has changed my life and strengthened my commitment to working for justice for those children. I do not understand how anyone can stand by silently, while knowing that civilians are being bombed. If what I, and the many thousands of others who protested the war, did, was wrong...what then would be the right thing to do? If you saw a child being beaten up and murdered on Main Street by a gang of thugs, should you write a letter to the editor or call your congressman or write a book on how adults should interact with children? Of course not. When children are being killed, immediate, direct, and powerful intervention is called for. What the other protesters and I did should be criticized in only one area. We all did too little. To all of the people of Iraq, I would like to say, “I am sorry. I will try to do better in the future.” 

The full text is published on the PressAction site under the title &quot;A Courtroom Speech&quot;.

Those who slaughter children must be stopped &quot;by any means necessary&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Are you in favor of letting murder victims’ families go kill the murderer?&lt;/i&gt;
In this analogy, it&#039;s not just a murderer but a proven psychopath who will obviously never stop killing as long as he&#039;s able, and he gets away with it with the full support of the police and government and every other supposed public defender. If that&#039;s the case, what would you suggest the victims&#039; families do?</description>

		<description>Ward Churchill is a sophomore and an embarrassment.  Two wrongs do not make a right.  Are you in favor of letting murder victims&#039; families go kill the murderer?  An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, as you may also have heard, and reverting to the Code of Hammurabi is hardly &quot;radical.&quot;</description>

		<description>A “SINGLE VOICE PROJECT” is the official name of the petition sponsored by:  The National Public Service Council To Abolish Private Prisons (NPSCTAPP)

THIS PETITION SEEKS TO ABOLISH ALL PRIVATE PRISONS IN THE UNITED STATES, (or any place subject to its jurisdiction)


The National Public Service Council To Abolish Private Prisons (NPSCTAPP) is a grass roots organization driven by a single objective. We want the United States government to reclaim sole authority for state and federal prisons on US soil. 
We want the United States Congress to immediately rescind all state and federal contracts that permit private prisons “for profit” to exist in the United States, or any place subject to its jurisdiction. We understand that the problems that currently plague our government, its criminal justice system and in particular, the state &amp; federal bureau of prisons (and most correctional and rehabilitation facilities) are massive.  However, it is our solemn belief that the solutions for prison reform will remain unattainable and virtually impossible as long as private prisons for profit are permitted to operate in America. 

Prior to the past month, and the fiasco of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Lehman Brothers, and now the “Big Three” American Automobile manufacturers, the NPSCTAPP has always felt compelled to highlight the “moral Bottom line” when it comes to corrections and privatization. Although, we remain confounded by the reality that our government has allowed our justice system to be operated by private interests.  The NPSCTAPP philosophy has always been “justice” should not be for sale at any price.  It is our belief that the inherent and most fundamental responsibility of the criminal justice system should not be shirked, or “jobbed-out.” This is not the same as privatizing the post office or some trash pick up service in the community. There has to be a loss of meaning and purpose when an inmate looks at a guard’s uniform and instead of seeing an emblem that reads State Department of Corrections or Federal Bureau of Prisons, he sees one that says: “Atlas Prison Corporation.”

 Let’s assume that the real danger of privatization is not some innate inhumanity on the part of its practitioners but rather the added financial incentives that reward inhumanity. The same logic that motivates companies to operate prisons more efficiently also encourages them to cut corners at the expense of workers, prisoners and the public.  Every penny they do not spend on food, medical care or training for guards is a dime they can pocket.  What happens when the pennies pocketed are not enough for the shareholders? Who will bailout the private prison industry when they hold the government and the American people hostage with the threat of financial failure…“bankruptcy?”  What was unimaginable a month ago merits serious consideration today. State and Federal prison programs originate from government design, and therefore, need to be maintained by the government.  It’s time to restore the principles and the vacated promise of our judicial system.  



John F. Kennedy said, “The time to repair the roof is while the sun is shinning”. Well the sun may not be shinning but, it’s not a bad time to begin repair on a dangerous roof that is certain to fall…. because, “Incarcerating people for profit is, in a word WRONG” 

There is an urgent need for the good people of this country to emerge from the shadows of cynicism, indifference, apathy and those other dark places that we migrate to when we are overwhelmed by frustration and the loss of hope. 
It is our hope that you will support the NPSCTAPP with a show of solidarity by signing our petition. We intend to assemble a collection of one million signatures, which will subsequently be attached to a proposition for consideration. This proposition will be presented to both, the Speaker Of The House Of Representatives (Nancy Pelosi) and the United States Congress.


Please Help Us. We Need Your Support. Help Us Spread The Word About This Monumental And Courageous Challenge To Create Positive Change. Place The Link To The Petition On Your Website! Pass It On! 

The SINGLE VOICE PETITION and the effort to abolish private “for profit” prisons is the sole intent of NPSCTAPP. Our project does not contain any additional agendas. We have no solutions or suggestions regarding prison reform. However, we are unyielding in our belief that the answers to the many problems which currently plague this nation’s criminal justice system and its penal system in particular, cannot and will not be found within or assisted by the private “for profit” prison business. The private “for profit” prison business has a stranglehold on our criminal justice system. Its vice-like grip continues to choke the possibility of justice, fairness, and responsibility from both state and federal systems.  
These new slave plantations are not the answer!

		<description>&quot;You’ve got to learn
that when you push people around,
some people push back.
As they should.
As they must.
And as they undoubtedly will.
There is justice in such symmetry. &quot;
– Ward Churchill

I nominate Ward Churchill to be our National Poet ...on second thought he&#039;d be great on the Supreme Court.</description>

		<description>Mary,  

I think a better metaphor is the barn-yard animal. We&#039;re being culled and and a new work-model introduced: the factory-farm for the human-resource. 

Work-camps, expanded prison system, open-air ghettos, para-military work-enforcers and all of the repressive techniques used by multi-national corps for decades in places less visible than the US. 

The Corporate World can only look one way: Efficient.</description>

		<description>If you can stick with this wait until the end.
Think of us, the common people, as the buffaloes.

		<description>&quot;My answer is bring &#039;em on.&quot; —President George W. Bush

&quot;My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.&quot; –Vice President Dick Cheney

&quot;Freedom&#039;s untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things.&quot; –Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

&quot;The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on, which was weapons of mass destruction, as the core reason.&quot; --Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, 

 Hey, hey LBJ we sure have come a long long way.  


There&#039;s not a liberal America and a conservative America - there&#039;s the United States of America. 
Barack Obama 

This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. 
Barack Obama 

People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time. 
Barack Obama 

Why can&#039;t I just eat my waffle?

		<description>Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today? 

Power to the People!

No nukes is good nukes! 

There&#039;s battle lines being drawn.  Nobody&#039;s right if everybody&#039;s wrong. Young people speaking their minds 
Getting so much resistance from behind. 

We won&#039;t get fooled again! 

You don&#039;t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. 

Better living through chemistry. 

If you can remember the &#039;60s, then you weren&#039;t there.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler and soon.</description>

		<description>Americans most certainly should be more active in support of social causes.  Unfortunately when they decide to raise extremely valid questions relating to the events of Sept. 11, 2001, for example, they are either ignored by the mainstream media or proclaimed to be &quot;conspiracy nuts.&quot;  What is even more egregious is when liberal blogs look down with disdain upon those seeking to find out the truth about 9/11. Even that revered leftist icon Noam Chomsky has said that it is &quot;totally insane&quot; to even contemplate an alternative theory as to what happened on that day thus doing his best, either consciously or subconsciously,  to discourage any type of dissent from occurring concerning the Bush administration&#039;s  explanations as to what allegedly happened on 09/11/01.</description>
