Larry Ogg's JournalThe GOP has plenty of accomplices within the DNC...
Who abolished "Glass–Steagall"?
Who gave banking and Wall Street criminals cabinet positions within Democratic administrations?
Who rewarded criminal behavior with trillions of taxpayer dollars, while doing nothing to discourage such behavior in the future, etc... etc... etc...?
How do we benefit when one corrupt Party looses control to their partner in crime, i.e. the other corrupt Party?
It's like the only difference between the two Parties is their religious views towards gays, female genitalia, and migrant workers.
Putting aside the manufactured distractions of homophobia, bigotry, and racism, when it comes to working for, protecting, and pandering to the predator class, with few exceptions, both Parties are one and the same.
Arundhati Roy is a beacon of light and truth in a World covered in the darkness of evil...
Understanding what this evil is, and having the slim hope of putting an end to it, can only come about when enough people have a good understanding of two things. 1) The "Psychopathic influence over governments", and 2) the great mass of psychopath enablers called "Right Wing Authoritarians".
People of conscience who live a life of willful ignorance, in order to preserve their blissful ignorance, will in the end forfeit their children's future.
Dennis Kucinich consistently opposed NAFTA In the 2007 presidential debates, and beyond...
And to the contrary, I don't recall ever hearing Obama appose any of the free trade agreements any more than any other corporately owned politician that is destroying the country.
The picture looks like something the Koch brothers are trying to feed the teabaggers, i.e. scapegoat all the blame onto the black guy even though he is on the side of those who ship high paying jobs overseas.
Smoke and mirrors, push the right buttons, preach to and deceive the choir; it will get you votes...
Be a top runner in rigged elections, and preserve the predator class (aka the 1%) of which you Hillary are a part of.
Don't get me wrong, I am not against gays, lesbians, or anyone else having the same rights as everyone else.
However, I am against those who benefit from a divide and conquer system, that, in one hand, constantly and covertly creates injustices that usurp the rights of people whose values, or passions, are different from the target culture, while the other hand of the same system appears to be the champion against such injustice. Choose your poison!
Meanwhile, as everyone gets fixated on the sexual preference issue puppet show, the issues of world wide fleecing, and environmental destruction by banksters and corporate criminals will remain largely a non-issue, because neither Party wants to make the to big to fail criminal empires an issue. Because leaders in both Parties know who they work for, and it's not the American people.
In essence, without labor money would have no value...
Without money, workers would exchange the products of their labor for the products of someone else's labor, they called it the barter system.
The only other ways to get the products of someone else's labor, would be that they freely give it to you, or you steal it by whatever means necessary.
Turning workers into debt slaves by using fiat currency, is probably the most deceptive means of stealing the products of labor ever devised. In fact, once fiat currency became the preferred medium of theft, it worked so well that thieves could steal the products of labor before the products ever existed, and even before the laborer was even born. And the best part is that most laborers will never figure it out because the theft has been culturally ingrained, thanks to sock puppet politicians who pander to thieves more then workers.
The history of fiat currency, and how and why workers work for paper is a long story with many pros and cons. But I think the cons far out-way the pros once a small group of individuals own the products of hundreds of millions laborers, as well as the products that their unborn children will produce.
In todays world, they put "In God We Trust" on the money, and the workers produce everything and get next to nothing. Well the thieves produce nothing, and get almost everything.
I wonder how many people didn't do the pole because there wasn't, "None of the Above".
What if your given a choice between, [font size="8"]D[/font]iamondback, or [font size="8"]R[/font]attlesnake
There's not much of a difference, and when your not given any other options, you might get the illusion of choice.
A wise man once said, "Don't try to fix what you don't understand."
And every two, four, and six years respectively, in a never ending quest to make their lives better, the American people get a chance to elect or reelect a bunch of blue or red corporately owned venal sock puppets, and thus prove that...
Not only do they not understand the character of corruption that has taken over their Government, but just how incorrigibly inept they really are when it comes choosing their leaders, and deciding their future.
But it's even worse then fair and sensible...
Left unchecked, such fairness could lead to Socialism...
Nurture or Nature?
The controversy over what determines who we are, whether it is Nature (heredity, our biological make up) or Nurture (our environment) is taking a new shape. Through the past decades, psychologists have developed different theories to explain the characteristics of human-beings. Usually, these theories were one directional in the nature / nurture question. Today, a new approach to deal with this question is emerging. This new approach finds a middle ground between nature and nurture. The conclusion that nature and nurture are complementary and work hand and hand to shape a behavior is not a compromise. It is a result of numerous studies. Studies on heredity and environment plus their affects on determining one s development and behavior. In fact, the more we understand about development and behavior, the more obvious it becomes that nature and nurture are similar influences rather than determinants. Ultimately, What is it that makes us who we are?
Our genes made us. We animals exist for their preservation and are nothing more than their throwaway survival machines. This is what Richard Dawkins states in his book, The Selfish Gene. Dawkins argues that we are merely a product of our genes and our main purpose in life is to serve the genes, become distribution agents and ensure their continuance. Before we consider Dawkins statement, the term nature must be defined.
Nature represents what we are born with and cannot control. Our biological make up is determined by the genes we receive from our parents, residing in the 23 pairs of chromosomes, 23 from each parent. A gene is a segment of DNA that provide a blueprint to pass on genetics or hereditary information (Microsoft). These genes not only affect our outlook, but also play a significant role in determining our behavior and our characteristics.
Through new genetic studies, clinical observation, and research on identical twins and adopted children, we are becoming increasingly aware that many of the human characteristics previously taken for granted as products of childhood rearing and environment are rooted in the genetic matrix (Neubrauer 38). Studies of identical twins, whom were separated at birth, have provided researchers with a lot of clues about the role of heredity factors in every day life behavior. Twins (monozygotes) are of extraordinary importance when studying heredity because they share identical copies of genes. An interesting study on twin brothers who were separated at birth and raised in different countries by respective adoptive parents showed that they both kept their lives neat, neat to the point of pathology. Their clothes were preened, appointments met precisely on time. When asked about the reason they felt to be so clean, the first one replied, My mother, when I was growing up, she always kept the house perfectly ordered. She insisted on every little thing returned to its proper place,... I learned from her. What else could I do? When his twin brother was asked the same question he answered The reason is quite simple. I m reacting to my mother, who was an absolute slob (Neubrauer 21). In this example, we see a natural preference based on heredity. Both twins blamed their mothers for their behaviors, while none of the mothers required such neatness.
Take for instance schizophrenia, a disease characterized by hallucinations, delusions, flat or inappropriate emotional expression, paranoia and suspiciousness. New findings point out to its relatedness to genetics. Genetic markers for schizophrenia are founded on chromosomes 22, 19, 15, 13, 9, 8 and 5 ( Shore 1). These examples reveal the genetic role in our development. Genetic analysis of behaviour is complex because behaviour reflects both genetic and environmental influences (Rydelius 1). Even though scientists have only identified 16,000 out of the total 100,000 genes, many psychological diseases are on the verge of being unraveled.

Ever-since the earth was created 5000 years ago...
People have known that the earth was flat, brains have nothing to do with what you think or how you behave, and that you should never believe what you hear on the internet.
Ask any conservative clergy, faux news pundit, or politician con-artist, and they might try to convince you that God said, he gave us brains just to confuse us, therefor we should avoid using them at all cost.
It's a good chance that, IMHO, there would be more people who would believe them, as apposed to those who did not. Evident so many people that outsource their thinking while practicing the art of not using their brain, and censoring those who do.
