We can run, but we can't hide...Grateful Dead. One of their latter day songs that really hit home especially this one....
"We Can Run, But We Can't Hide"
We don't own this place, though we act as if we did,
It's a loan from the children of our children's kids.
The actual owners haven't even been born yet.
But we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent,
Some of it is broken and the rest of it is bent
Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit.
[Chorus:]
We can run,
But we can't hide from it.
Of all possible worlds,
We only got one:
We gotta to ride on it.
Whatever we've done,
We'll never get far from what we leave behind,
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide.
Oh no, we can't hide.
I'm dumpin' my trash in your back yard
Makin' certain you don't notice really isn't so hard
You're so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them.
Well, it's oil for the rich and babies for the poor,
We got everyone believin' that more is more,
If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then.
[Bridge:]
All these complications seem to leave no choice,
I heard the tongues of billions speak with just one voice,
Saying, "Just leave all the rest to me,
I need it worse than you, you see."
And then I heard...
The sound of one child crying.
Today I went walking in the amber wind,
There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in
I remembered the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine.
But now it beats down on the asphalt land
Like a hammering blow from God's left hand
What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine.

Here we go again..... Armed Militia Mobilizing to Take on Feds’ Land Grab… Issue This Warning Shot
To Obama...
The Sugar Pine Mining owners have been mining their land for a century but now the federal Bureau of Land Management is trying to take over. In response, an armed militia group known as The Oath Keepers are stepping in to defend the miners.
Oregon-based Sugar Pine Mining faced an April 25 deadline to get their equipment off the land. However, with the Oath Keepers help, they intend to fight the BLM.

So, Lets play name the scandal!
Inspired by Rand Paul's' tirade about Hillary's upcoming scandal on this thread.. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141071094
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE?
I just spent some time with "Responsible gun owners"
And they all told of the gun accidents and incidences they had in the past. One fell asleep cradling a shot gun and blew a hole in his couch (and almost his balls) another shot at a noisy bird in his residential yard and knocked out power by missing the bird and hitting a transformer. Another shot up his car when he dropped his gun... And so on.
All this was predicated by a video showing another responsible gun owner blowing of his face while he looked down the barrel of a shotgun when out target shooting.

Hillary Clinton Rocks The Kochs By Announcing Support For Overturning Citizens United
Source: Politicsusa.com
At a campaign event in Iowa today, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came out in support of a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
During a roundtable with students in Iowa, Clinton said:
I want to be the champion who goes to bat for Americans in four big areas, four big fights that I think we have to take on because there are those who don’t agree with what I think we should be doing, and they’re pretty powerful forces.
We need build the economy of tomorrow, not yesterday. We need to strengthen families and communities because that’s where it all starts. We need to fix our dysfunctional political system, and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if it takes a constitutional amendment, and we need to protect our country from the threats that we see and the ones that are on the horizon.
