Demeter's JournalA country mired in unrelenting poverty is ALWAYS more vulnerable to outside forces
and the way to build a future is to provide the pathway with current resources, not to hoard the seed corn, nor to consume it in endless luxury for the 1% or to feed their boundless egos.
Any gains generated by starving people are tainted gains. Karma will win out in the end.
It's a closed system. A blockage at any point brings the whole shuddering machine to a halt and destroys the flow and balance necessary for sustainability.
Show me a leader who understands and implements such a policy, and I will show you the next FDR.
They Need the Data...What do they need the data for, eh?
The only purpose that general collection of data can serve is BLACKMAIL...either directly, or through manufacturing crimes to fit "the data" to entrap a person who has not broken a law in fact or in spirit.
It's Extra-Judicial on its face. They are looking for non-crimes, pre-crimes, thought crimes: ways to prevent regime change and to stifle democracy.
This isn't about crime at all. It's about power: the theft of power and the abuse of power.
In a democracy, power belongs to the People.
In Fascism, which this is, power oppresses the People.

Weekend Economists and the Denim Years June 7-9, 2013
Sorry for the tardy thread...I was working, then dinner and admiring my sister's NEW PUPPIES!
She acquired two Scotties, 8.5 weeks old, brother and sister, last night. They are the most darling, cunning little things. They like everybody, including each other. Sis was only going for one, but she ended up with the set. They were meant to go together.
If she ever gets her camera photos on line, I will post. They don't have names yet...their daddy gets the honor. They are his reward for being such a good husband, son and brother in law, etc.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled topic:
DENIM! Whatever your age, whatever your economic class, whatever your educational level, you have denim (unless it's against the Amish dress code).

Denim.
Ah, denim, denim, denim.
If you weren’t a fan of the 2010 denim trend (you couldn’t have missed it…Dungaree’s everywhere!), then you may not be a fan of 2011’s double denim.
This year had a lot of diversity with denim outlines with the return of the boot cut jean and the revisiting of the 70′s Boho Chic, think fringed bags and waistcoats. Although…Thinking in terms of celebu-tant, it never really left.
Here’s a list of Denim’s I’ve seen around lately, and next to the items I shall give my swift opinion; simply as a yes or no....
MANY EXAMPLES OF DENIM USE (GOOD OR BAD) AT LINK.
THIS BLOGGER WRITES LIKE IT'S NEW...IN 2011! BETCHA HER GRANDMOTHER WORE DENIM...UNLIKE MINE!
Denim sweatpants – I’m sorry, what? Denim sweatpants?? No!
