Why we are not having an American Revolution

For the past several centuries, the world has experienced a sequence of intellectual revolutions against oppression of one sort or another. These rebellions operate in the minds of humans and are spread eventually to most of the world, not by war, which tends to involve multiple causes, but by language and communications technology. Ultimately, the ideas they advance, unlike the causes of war, become noncontroversial. The next such revolution, likely to occur in the 21st century, will challe ...

President Obama is determined to pass more laws to prevent ordinary citizens from being able to defend themselves from the criminals who will not obey such laws and against the patriot movements in the US to prevent them from being able to defend themselves properly against the government who wants to totally enslave them, when the New World Order decides it is time to do so! IT'S GOING TO END BADLY &nb ...

"Nearly 4,000 years ago, when Assyrian women wove fancy cloth for their menfolk to sell hundreds of miles away in what is now Turkey, the problem was already there. We have the women’s letters to prove it. “About the fact that I did not send you the textiles about which you wrote, your heart should not be angry,” wrote one wife, as translated by the Assyriologist Klaas Veenhof. She couldn’t finish the textiles because she had to stop and weave new outfits for her daughte ...

Instead, a ferocious struggle has erupted on the left over the smoldering remains of the Democratic Party. Liberals are seething over the election and talking about launching a Tea Party-style revolt. They say it’s the only way to keep Washington Democrats connected to the grassroots and to avoid a repeat of the 2016 electoral disaster, which blindsided party elites. Progressives believe the Democratic establishment is responsible for inflicting Donald Trump upon the nation, blaming a ...

Georgia Tech. On line. That's 1/6 of its current price. Also, note the article on the left, "Are You Competent? Prove It."This discusses awarding degrees based on what has been learned -- rather than "seat time" in classrooms, another big way to cut the costs of college. This is a political issue, and Obama is involved up to his sticky-outy ears in trying to hurry needed changes along, including ideas such as 6-year high schools that graduate students with associate degrees. ...

the people who hold them are getting wage cuts instead of increases. We're ALL in trouble. From the Washington Post: "The stagnation of wages has become an accepted fact across the political spectrum; conservative columnists such as Michael Gerson and David Brooks have acknowledged that workers’ incomes seem to be stuck." "Defenders of right-to-work laws argue that they improve a state’s economy by creating more jobs. But an exhaustive study by economist Lo ...

For those of you that have your nails done at a salon, Is your manicurists American? All the salons in my area & surrounding areas seem to be Korean.

It's really hard to communicate when you aren't speaking the same language. ...

Is it just me or does anyone else find AI boring this year? I don't think the talent is that great. I loved when Matt and Scott sang last night. ...

I am really loving the show this year. Who do you think will be going home tonight?. I think it could either be Paul, Haley or Pia. I am hoping it is not Casey, James or Scotty. ...

I know, I know. It can be a bit lame but I've been watching it for years. Who do you think will win this year? I originally thought it would definitely be Jessica Sanchez, now I'm not so sure. That Joshua can certainly sing, although he wasn't my favorite at first, but he has grown on me. Holly has also stepped it up a few notches. Guess it's up to the voters now. ...

Another international crisis . . . terrorists at it again: Fox News has confirmed that one American has died in the hostage standoff at an Algerian gas complex. Officials told the Associated Press the deceased American is Texas resident, Frederick Buttaccio. It is unclear how he died. Earlier Friday, the State Department confirmed there are still American hostages being held by an Al Qaeda-linked group at the gas plant, deep in the Saharan desert. When asked about a report that the grou ...

What happened to good ole talent? Sure don't like the new American Idol. They really need to leave out the sob stories and crocodile tears Oh, poor me, I had a hard life, I was in an accident, I had a horrid disease, someone picked on me, waah, waah, waah. ...

Any comments on the new American Idol. I really enjoyed Wednesday's show I thought it was funny and refreshing. I have not seen Thursday and read where the reviews were not great. I think Jennifer Lopez will learn to say no as time goes on. I thought the segment about the boy that lived in the shelter in the bronx was so emotional and you can the family bond between the two brothers. What do you think? ...

I'm not an American Idol fan, but this cracked me up. The look on Edna's face when Simon was laughing was a hoot! And then what she did afterwards. Just thought it was funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yixDe8PZDj8&feature=related ...

I say every year I am not going to be caught up in the moment and here I go again. Last night's show was really good as far as the talent and tonight is turning out to be some of the same.

By Jes Alexander on June 21, 2010 WASHINGTON, DC (Herald de Paris) - So much of the handling of this BP Oil Disaster (a name for this mess we are advocating as it does not downgrade the situation, since IT’S NOT A SPILL) has been left to BP, out of the hands of the international science community and away from US federal agencies, I thought I might remind you all of what might happen if this hemorrhaging of crude oil is allowed to continue much longer: Think Gulf Stream.
