"Trickle Down" Is a Plutocratic Religion, Not an... →
…globalized corporate trade is conducted to increase the profits of large corporate entities. The result is the exact opposite, in many cases, of trickle down. Due to trade agreements that allow corporations to place factories in the lowest cost country, creating near slave-labor conditions - as BuzzFlash at Truthout has shown - for workers who, for example, make almost all American...

Keck writes
Pfc. Bradley Manning has shown true courage at great cost to himself. Like all soldiers, he chose to serve knowing that he may die in combat, but he went above and beyond this duty by choosing to do what was right rather than what would make him popular. If the allegations that he leaked information to Wikileaks are true, he fulfilled his oath to protect and serve the citizens of the...

I protested NDAA alone today
I asked on Twitter and Facebook, but no one wanted to walk in to the field offices of our U.S. Senators downtown with me. The only hassle to meet would have been parking because the field offices are across the street from each other.
It seems that U.S. Senators have a concern about crazy, violent people dropping in on them. Both offices have intercom systems with cameras on the the frames of...

Tony Dorsett on Playing with Pain in The NFL →
Interview subject and NFL Hall of Fame Running Back Tony Dorsett:
“I don’t want to get to the point where it turns into dementia, Alzheimer’s. I don’t want that,” says Dorsett, who ran for 12,739 yards, the eighth-highest total in league history. He is, in that moment, sad and deflated - in others, pumped up and angry, fists flying to punctuate his words....
