4. Naomi Klein is the complete package.
She is smart, honest and beautiful. I am not being sexist. I understand that beauty is skin deep.

She has been so prophetic, especially since "DISASTER CAPITALISM," she should have a leadership role in and after what I hope is a successful (non-violent) revolution.

Unfortunately, the elite have, and are being very violent, mainly by buying our police in addition to our politicians.

In Mexico, the elite (drug cartels we are told) do the very same thing. They buy their politicians and "law" enforcement to terrorize the population. "We" recently encouraged this endeavor by shutting down legal medical marijuana distributors in California.

By re-criminalizing marijuana, we are encouraging the the drug cartels to violently continue and (now) increase their "business" of death and lawlessness. "We" have knowingly increased the profitability of their operations

at the cost of more death and corruption. It seems that TPTB want to "prove" that the "war on drugs' is the right policy for America to continue, even though the statistics and common knowledge prove otherwise.

IMO, this was a gift to organized crime (from organized crime in America) that will hopefully distract many citizens from the national protests against greed that are currently spreading in America.

6. Overpopulation
is the core manifestation of our species' unfettered hedonism, and the basic underpinning of both our toxic economic behaviors and our depraved disregard for the health of our ecosystem.

Watching our species commit ecocide is like watching a train wreck in slo-mo: you know the worst is yet to come, but you're powerless to stop it. And, you simply cannot look away...

8. Interesting how the conservative voice
Interesting how the conservative voice has become one of fear, hate and divisiveness and the liberal voice (at least to some degree) remains one of peace, coexistence and inclusiveness. I guess we liberals really are "libtards" in the minds of those who buy into the hate to think that our rosy vision of the "world that could be if we just gave a damn about people other than ourselves" is feasible in a world where the haves have a vested interest in keeping the have-nots at each others' throats.
