Rise Of The Planet Of The 99%

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day, oh yes, we will be the 100%, UNITED!  Until then…

Test Drive

I posted this little gem back in July and Bunny and I are getting ready to give it a seven-day test drive.  Being one of the pickiest eaters in the world, this is some Fear Factor type shit for me.  Bunny’s in the kitchen prepping right now and I’m starting to freak out.  Wish me luck.

A friend just shared this on facebook and I couldn’t not share it too.

Honesty: The Only Policy

Don’t believe the lies.  Don’t allow yourself to be spoon-fed information.  Real freedom, true freedom is not free (currently).  Every purchase is a vote.  Every donation is a vote.  Even when voting with dollars there are those out there blocking your way to the ballet box?  Don’t give up.  If you run into a roadblock, go around it, under it, over it or through it.  Let your voice be heard.  Let your vote be counted.  Don’t buy into the bull$hit.  Be the change you want to see in the world.  Buy the change you want to see in the world.

What do MasterCard, Visa, Bank of America, Paypal and Western Union all have in common? They help you pay for what you want? Well, yes… that is unless you want to help WikiLeaks make the world a better place. To see the shocking details, please go to http://www.wikileaks.org/banking-blockade.html

Government: Earth

What exactly is government anyway?  What is its purpose?  How does it work?  How should it work? 

The Beginning Is Near

October 2nd

As if the month of October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month wasn’t good enough, October 2nd is the International Day of Non-Violence.  Could it be a coincidence that October 2nd is also Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday?  I think not.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

Is a world without violence such a hard thing to imagine?  We have far more in common than our disagreements would lead us to believe. We all want to be respected. We all want to be loved. We all want to be part of something. The good news? We are all a part of something; the human race. Now all that’s left to do is love and respect one another.  Violence?  Not even a part of the equation.

Christianity:

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

.

Buddhism:

“Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.”

.

Confucianism:

“Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.”

.

Hinduism:

“One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self.”

.

Islam:

“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.”

.

Judaism:

“The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself.”

.

Taoism:

“Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.”

.

Rodney King:

“Can’t we all just get along?”

.

Nothing to it, but to do it.  No more verbal hobbies.  We all need to put these words into action.  Be kind to one another, respect each other and love one another.  Now go play nice. 

.

Happy Birthday Gandhi!

October: Domestic Violence Awareness Month

One of the popular catch phrases you may hear tossed around this month is “silence hides violence”.  Being aware of violence and doing nothing about it is as good as giving an endorsement for said behavior.  With the exception of self defense (using the least amount of force needed), violence is never acceptable and should not be tolerated under any circumstance.  Not this month, not next month, NEVER!

My sweet, loving, angel of a wife, Bunny, also has a Domestic Violence Awareness Month video post for you.

Occupy Wall Street: Day 12

While the protest taking place in New York City is getting very little attention in the main stream media, I am amazed at some of the attention it is getting as witnessed in the two video clips below.  With that being said, I am also dumbfounded by how many people have no idea this is taking place at all.  How many people have to be without jobs and homes before America wakes up and gets mad as hell?  The peaceful protesters in New York City (not to mention 50+ other locations around the country world) say the time is now.  Don’t let the main stream media be your only source for what is going on in the world.  This is the information age.  Open your eyes to the world around you, then talk about it, share it…

Meltdown

This is a global look at our current socioeconomic circumstances and a detailed account of how we got here; very interesting.  I’ve only watched part one so far, but I’m going to watch the rest as soon as I publish this. 

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Ok, I’ve watched them all.  They do a great job of documenting the downing of the financial dominoes all around the globe, but it doesn’t have the happy ending we’ve come to expect at the end of sad stories.  It doesn’t offer up any answers either.  I would go so far as to say it suggests (if not flat out states) there can be no answers.  Well I beg to differ.  There are plenty of answers out there, but those at the top, those with all the money, they are going to do what they can to keep those answers out of view.  They can only play this game for so long, because people around the world are starting to wake up.  It’s only a matter of time.
