People or Sheeple On JFK and 'The Whole Mess' - Peter Lemkin - 28-02-2010 Yeah, The ammoral minority thinks of it as stealing from the rich. Nice to hear a few small Robin Hood deeds and persons. Having worked some real low pay, no security jobs in America I can also say there are slavedrivers too. I only met one once that might have fit in the lovely descriptions above. I had one who fired me when I had to drive half way across our huge nation to defend myself in court [it is ILLEGAL for an employer to do so!], but he did and to challenge it would have cost me more time and money than I had - I'd likely not have won as the system is rigged - got money: you get more; poor:you get poorer and screwed all along the way. When I grew up my father could work hard and feed a family of four and have a nice life with a nice home and even a summer home. Today that same job would need everyone in the house working more than 40 hours to maintain one small house - no vacation home and no vacations. People or Sheeple On JFK and 'The Whole Mess' - Ed Jewett - 17-03-2010 March 12, 2010 Nonviolent Struggle ![]() It would be a truly wonderful thing if the American system of government were capable of reforming itself to become democratic. Most likely, it can't. We're on a downward spiral that will end either in collapse or revolt. There is a politically legitimate off-ramp — Article V of the Constitution provides for amendments — but navigating great reforms through it won't be simple or easy or painless. Probably, at some point, nonviolent struggle will become necessary. To get a sense of nonviolent strategy from someone who doesn't agree with me but who has done more work on the theory and on comparative studies than anyone, I turned to Dr. Gene Sharp. It was an eye-opener to talk with him and I hope he forgives me my impertinent questioning. Total runtime forty three minutes. Enjoy! Permalink | Comments (0) |
