I do believe we will have unions around the world and public health care. I think all of this

bluster and aggression from the GOP is because they are terrified that globalization will mean social justice will be global. I just feel it.

2. Every once in a while, I think along similar lines.

Basically, everything they cling to is being dismantled (and rightly so in most cases) and they are swinging blindly and aggressively in an attempt to keep things from changing. But, ultimately, they aren't going to win.

3. I Think the Same Thing.

There is an inevitability to this like gravity.
The Right Wing is grasping at straws and embarrassing itself.

4. The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

People carp and they criticize, but progress moves forward in slow, steady increments. We win in a slow grind, not a fast sprint.

5. That is why they want Americans to be so uninformed. So they cannot link

with the rest of the world and make it a better place for people. And where did American Exceptionalism come from. Does anyone know how it started?

7. I like your optimism and I hope you are right.

The world has to change and that change is needed sooner rather than later.

8. The GOP has us playing defence. We should be offensive in spreading

social justice around the world. I wonder if the neocons want americans to be so religious because then we would send missionaries around the world to teach about god instead of union specialists to teach about social justice.

9. Eventually, nobody in the world will stand for being a worker-slave.

What will corporations and the oligarchy do then? Move to Mars?

10. Yeah, it will go global -- if it goes at all

Did anyone see the kid in Egypt with the sign saying (something to the effect) Egyptians are with you Wisconsin ...?

12. We have to protect net neutrality. But if the GOP manage to destroy those laws we need

our own democratic web server.
