Cops have a good job, with a pension, and the risks they face--much like firefighters--are greatly exaggerated. If they can't do their jobs properly 'cause they are "scared" of the dangerous inner city negroes then said cops should be fired and find another line of work. A person's constitutional rights are not secondary to some incompetent cop's "feelings" or "fears". If you can't do the job properly find another line of work.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-26079969582193632282014-09-27T23:10:18.704-05:002014-09-27T23:10:18.704-05:00Expatriate curmudgeon Fred Reed used to be a polic...Expatriate curmudgeon Fred Reed used to be a police reporter.

You get so many white folks down south (and I hate to admit I was born and raised there) always going on and on about how it's a symbol of "their heritage" and it's a "freedom of speech" issue and we blacks don't understand. That flag presided over more US troop deaths than any flag in history. Period!

And most of that money is going to come from the powers that be, those who really run the country. <br /><br />Given that, by the time we get down to the democratic and republican nominees for President, you know, by virtue of the enormous treasure invested in them, that they will do the bidding of those who bought them. There can be talk of climate change, wall st accountability, health care reform, paying their fair share, etc. But nothing substantive is done. That's the deal. Some will say health care reform puts the lie to that, but not when in the course of that the health care industry is delivered 50 million guaranteed customers.Gable1111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-70230339050782437232014-09-26T00:39:38.377-05:002014-09-26T00:39:38.377-05:00As I've said before, wearing the "I am Da...As I've said before, wearing the "I am Darren Wilson" wristband is tantamount to wearing a "PROUD SLAVE PATROL MEMBER" bracelet.<br /><br /><br />In fact, wearing the latter would be a more refreshingly honest gesture.Mack Lyonshttp://macklyons.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-74112202172107540672014-09-25T22:29:59.480-05:002014-09-25T22:29:59.480-05:00Thanks.

A quote from "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein:<br />When historians look back on the past quarter century of international negotiations, two defining processes will stand out. There will be the climate process: struggling, sputtering, failing utterly to achieve its goals. And there will be the corporate globalization process, zooming from victory to victory: from that first free trade deal to the creation of the World Trade Organization to the mass privatization of the former Soviet economies to the transformation of large parts of Asia into sprawling free-trade zones to the “structural adjusting” of Africa. There were setbacks to that process, to be sure—for example, popular pushback that stalled trade rounds and free trade deals. But what remained successful were the ideological underpinnings of the entire project, which was never really about trading goods across borders—selling French wine in Brazil, for instance, or U.S. software in China. It was always about using these sweeping deals, as well as a range of other tools, to lock in a global policy framework that provided maximum freedom to multinational corporations to produce their goods as cheaply as possible and sell them with as few regulations as possible—while paying as little in taxes as possible. Granting this corporate wishlist, we were told, would fuel economic growth, which would trickle down to the rest of us, eventually. The trade deals mattered only in so far as they stood in for, and plainly articulated, this far broader agenda.<br /><br />The three policy pillars of this new era are familiar to us all: privatization of the public sphere, deregulation of the corporate sector, and lower corporate taxation, paid for with cuts to public spending. Much has been written about the real-world costs of these policies—the instability of financial markets, the excesses of the super-rich, and the desperation of the increasingly disposable poor, as well as the failing state of public infrastructure and services. Very little, however, has been written about how market fundamentalism has, from the very first moments, systematically sabotaged our collective response to climate change, a threat that came knocking just as this ideology was reaching its zenith.<br /><br />—http://books.simonandschuster.com/This-Changes-Everything/Naomi-Klein/9781451697384/excerpt<br /><br />In a democracy, corporations answer to the government and the government answers to its citizens. In the US, it's the other way around.kokaneehttp://www.byebyedemocracy.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-53044037684197895282014-09-25T15:37:16.529-05:002014-09-25T15:37:16.529-05:00I was hopeful when Obama was elected but I was cau...I was hopeful when Obama was elected but I was cautious with my optimism.
