Save Our Internet. Really.

by Beth on January 14, 2012

Maybe you’ve already heard about this.. Maybe you don’t think it’s that important, or people are exaggerating.

Spelling It Out: Why We Are In the Streets

by Beth on December 2, 2011

I love The Young Turks videos. This spells out new details of exactly how the banking bailout was the biggest swindle in American history. We have been robbed blind, you and me, and no one is doing anything about it, except all those people in the streets.

Not Really Wordless Wednesday

by Beth on July 27, 2011

As you know, on Wednesdays, I usually take a break from opinions and rhetoric.  But this is just too important, and it is mostly a graphic, not an essay. According to The Atlantic and The New York Times, any coherent, honest discussion of the debt ceiling should include this chart.  It is a graphic of [...]

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. ~ The Buddha Prompted by our discussions last week, astrologer Lynn Hayes, offers additional insight about the Sixth House.  Hopefully, we can coax Lynn, who is a very busy woman, to add some more commentary as we go along.
