each piece she's torn from the whole she gathers up to organize in a way that makes sense... A discussion point where ideas, articles, and stories that contain much of what you want and need to become aware of the existing corrupt reality we are experiencing and of ways to solve them...

A Life Well Lived: Remembering Howard Zinn. People's Historian
Howard Zinn—historian, radical activist, and teacher—died at the age of 87 on January 27. He was an important thinker who spoke unsettling truths about America —and who joined ideas to action. He will be sadly missed.
The Battle of the Titans: JP Morgan Versus Goldman Sachs
We are witnessing an epic battle between two banking giants, JPMorgan Chase (Paul Volcker) and Goldman Sachs (Geithner/Summers/Rubin). Left strewn on the battleground could be your pension fund and 401K.
The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti
The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti
President becomes UN Special Envoy to earthquake-stricken Haiti.
A born-again neo-conservative US business wheeler-dealer preacher claims Haitians are condemned for making a literal ‘pact with the Devil.’
Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Bolivian, French and Swiss rescue organizations accuse the US military of refusing landing rights to planes bearing necessary medicines and urgently needed potable water to the millions of Haitians stricken, injured and homeless.
Behind the smoke, rubble and unending drama of human tragedy in the hapless Caribbean country, a drama is in full play for control of what geophysicists believe may be one of the world’s richest zones for hydrocarbons-oil and gas outside the Middle East, possibly orders of magnitude greater than that of nearby Venezuela.

Thrash The Walls
i am… we are…
not free when we submit to conformity…
freedom is not the ability to buy what you want, to live where you want, to be friends with whom you want, to worship, read, see, hear and speak what you want…
freedom is… simply
to walk your path.
conformity isn’t a bad thing…
it just isn’t freedom.
conformity is…
comforting.
an infant struggles to walk it’s own path, only to be nestled in the bosom of social conformity, barriers built by others that are eventually it’s own, to keep itself…
conformed.
some of us wonder of a latent desire we sometimes can’t define…
it is freedom, to walk our path.
we stray, return bruised, wounded from thrashing the walls we’ve built and carefully placed to block our path…
look back to see they’ve moved, widening your path of conformity, suddenly revealing a hint of what we all seek…
our own path…
should we accept conformity because it is comforting…
or forever thrash the walls.
