Cuba already went through an energy famine - How they survived "peak oil" (53 mins)

Without, oil, Cuba was already put through what we will inevitably go through after peak oil…

Here's an excellent documentary of how we can learn FAR more from Cuba's sustainable energy, through their political will, rather than exhausting oil. Cuba did not have access to the World Bank, so this is a REAL experiment with an oil crisis.

We can LEARN from this:

N.C. teen's hanging death ruled a suicide; mother says it was a lynching

By Victor Blackwell, CNN
updated 3:47 PM EST, Mon December 15, 2014

This dog doesn't hunt. Big strong kid hangs himself and he just so happens to be 17 and black who dated an older white woman in a small town with a recent KKK march. Oh, and the grave of this boy was pissed on by one of the local brain-dead. This is sickening. Sorry if it was posted before...

The last time Lacy saw and heard her son was August 28. Lennon, 17, played the lineman position for the West Bladen High School Knights, and was focused on football.
His family says that night, he packed a gym bag, washed his ankle brace and hung it on the clothesline to dry before heading out for an evening walk.
The teen had asthma, his mother says, and a doctor had recommended he exercise outdoors at night when the temperature and humidity dropped. Around 10:30, Lennon left his family's small apartment and headed down a dirt road.
His family never saw him alive again.
Just before 7:30 the next morning, he was found hanging from the frame of a swing set in the center of a mobile home community. According to medical documents, his body was covered in fire ants.

Well, then… Where in the hell can we discuss meta without it being "ask the administrators?"

Hmmm?

Free speech much here tonight? Then, please indulge and guide me… and don't tell me it's "Creative Speculation". Free speech is a subject worthy of GENERAL DISCUSSION.

Thanks, you guys.

Here's you next DEAR CONGRESSPERSON free template, folks

Wrote it tonight, and encourage you to do the same thing ASAP.

The budget, currently unable to be passed is causing congress to come out with a stop gap by the end of the year. We need to fund our domestic agenda to improve our infrastructure, protect the environment, provide education, health care and create millions of GOOD PAYING jobs; and NOT waste over 50% of our budget on the military. We need to reduce military spending, eliminate the departments of homeland security and especially the CIA, among other security agencies. They have created millions around the world who hate us for good reason.

Stop the endless war, war profiteering and prosecute the following groups: The Bush Administration and the CIA leaders and the lawyers that were put in place to bend the laws for the appearance of approving tortured techniques. While you're at it, prosecute the Wall Street bankers that continue to destroy our economy and re-instate the legal divisions between banks and financial institutions. i.e., as governed previously by the Glass-Steagall Act.

In closing, we will be watching and continue to voice our positions on these matters.

Have a nice holiday,

No shit… where have you been Lindsay Graham?

We have violated the Geneva Convention, he's convinced. He never wants to let it happen again.

"The people involved believed they were trying to defend the country, and what they were doing was necessary". He thinks we are "fighting a radical extreme ideology"… Who is it he's talking about? "We stand for due process"? Our enemies stand for non of that.

Keep going, asshole… you're revealing why your party and your ideology stink as much as the remarks you are weighing in on as the "Distinguished Gentleman from South Carolina".

So, please… shut the fuck up on "good versus evil", Lindsay …. You are a God Damned Idiot. The new is that in spite of you trying to spin it, the solution.

THIS is where we decide to blow the CIA into a THOUSAND PIECES.
