Hershey, Nestle and Mars have been using child slaves to make your chocolate. See for yourself.

***** With few exceptions, very few, we use our pet cats, pet dogs, activism for animals... So that we can hold on to the illusion that we are decent human beings, despite how we squander the resources under our control on our selves and not on our neediest human brothers and sisters on the planet.

***** The primary fight is between the rule of law, democratic process... And the rule of force, war, guns,  military power, financial power. In fact: Most importantly, most fundamentally... the right wingers (irrespective of religion, nationality, race...) have selected opposition to the process of democracy and rule by law. Presumably they feel more certain of defeat with the rule of law and democratic process than the with rule of force. Think is real. Think gun zealots. Think religious fundamentalists. Think capitalists....  and the Liberals: think academic prowess, ability to outscore others on tests, superior ability to win employment....

Noam Chomsky: Subsidy that energy corporations... around $5 trillion annually.....

There was a recent study by the IMF which tried to estimate the subsidy that energy corporations get from governments. The total was colossal. I think it was around $5 trillion annually. That’s got nothing to do with markets and capitalism.   https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/09/noam-chomsky-bernie-sanders-greece-tsipras-grexit-austerity-neoliberalism-protest/

I no longer think that Iraq was about oil. I think it was simply a transfer of wealth from most Americans to the 1%, especially the military industrial complex.

The very religion, the true and absolute religion of the over-privileged, of the non poor, is over privilege. Being, remaining, achieving over-privilege is the religion. Occasional hobbies among the many hobbies is being kind and good.

In most Americans I find nothing, zero, zilch, nada... where the Spirit used to be. Absolutely this is the case with the over privileged intellectually, socially, materially among whom I was born and raised, with whom I have almost always lived among and worked among.. It continues to seem to me that it is less so among the non over-privileged. The exception proves the rule. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it.

I am much more afraid of the soullessness of the Liberals than the ignorance of the uneducated masses. At the deep level of the Spirit the uneducated masses know there is something terribly wrong. The educated, therefore of the elite, I truly and honestly find little by way of soul in them to be deeply disturbed. In their heads they understand there is a problem. But it is only in the soul that they could become motivated to be agents of change and I see no soul within them. The exception proves the rule. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it.
