The Koch Brothers,oil tycoons who want to keep their tens of billions of dollars untaxed and beyond the law, who fund several anti-union corporations , and whose father funded the John Birch Society, did a stealthy drone-bombing job of fooling voters last November. A recall of politicians whose campaign was secretly funded by these special interests is in the best interest of a free country.

I'm so encouraged by all the positive actions for Democracy by the people of Wisconsin, and reason prevail. The fight has just begun. The super-rich despise working people, especially when they are insubordinate and demand justice. "Organize, Educate, Emancipate". Good work, people of Wisconsin! The world is with you. Respectfully, tom frazee

I live in England. The torch which has been lit in North Africa and the Middle East is burning more brightly every day. As the military is defeated in Iraq, and Afghanistan, so the people all over the world are beginning to understand that it is the people who have the power...power to the people...politicians be afraid...very afraid...because on the internet...everybody can hear you scream...

It's not over brothers, we have to keep up the disgust Walker's bill will have on our lives. Those republican senators should be flooded with e-mails and calls every day while in office.

This isn't about the budget. It's about the wealthy power brokers in this country with their public office pawns who brought down the economy in 2007 by manipulating the housing and banknig market in a grab that is more embezzlment than than business. And now they want the middle class to pay for their crooked behavior by picking up the tab. I say tax the rich with a 90 percent bracket and tar and feather CEOs being paid $15,000 an hour while collective bargaining is being squashed!

That the individual can become the ruler of his life does not in any way contradict that the individual is responsible for the society that he and she belongs to and participates in. Individual consciousness implies consciousness of one’s rights and responsibilitie s as a human social being in both the individual and the public sphere. It is within the individual that the responsibility for upholding the law resides. If the law has turned against the individuals, it is the individual’s responsibility to reformulate the law and re-elect its representatives .

What has fallen is the false “monarch” and with it, the “dictator” and with them, every false authority acting against the people: the pretense that power resides in the nomination. As the Monarch disappears, the individual is required to take upon his and herself the responsibility for his and her own destiny: the possible evolution of the human being.

The soldier must be mature enough to safeguard human integrity and refrain from killing civilians not because he is told but because he and she carry within themselves the ethos that while war may be justifiable in some arenas, human dignity is never to be bypassed. A soldier as a warrior willing to die for a cause, must uphold above everyone else the hero: the unwillingness to kill in indignity.

Our relationship with our Earth has come to the same point to which a human being comes to maturity and realizes that the ‘humble’ body that carries his and her existence cannot take one more abuse without declaring its defeat and humble as it is, its death implies the death of our own possibilities.

That we are One with the body, One with the Earth and One with each other is the consciousness with which we need to take responsibility for our future: the future of mankind. That in recovering that consciousness we can recover the lost dignity for each and everyone in every part of the world and actualize in our acts the reality of that status quo: our humaneness.

Long live the Human Being!

Thank you genierae for acknowledging and sharing. It does give us force to know that We know and understand. We are not more enlightened because we allow false authorities to govern where we are our selves unwilling to take responsibility. We are all equally responsible for empowering those who do not have the consciousness to govern. So many people escaping to 'cults' of all kinds instead of acting in the public arena where our Oneness can be practically actualized.

There is a revitalizing force in the public arena that is what is most dangerously under threat with totalitarism. Freedom of speech is 'mother's milk' for the spirit of the people, we cannot allow communications to be privatized or we'll all belong to another suicide cult.

Bravo for these places in which we can share our selves! Thank you!

It’s a strange paradox that some should be the strongest and the weakest at the same time as if they’ve had to struggle so much to assert the individual that they’ve forgotten the community and have become more American than human. To be a great nation does not mean to allow one’s ego to grow beyond the human. The drive to become seems to keep going without letting them selves be. I’ve wondered whether religion was absorbed in the work ethos and gave a huge push to the race of achieving, but the inner world of the individual was so forgotten, that the inertia moved out of the human and that is the question that needs to be reinstated.

It does seem that we need to stop ‘growing’ and ‘settle’ into ourselves. Take the time to digest what was actually gained from all the effort rather than continue to run like a madman trying to get more without ever actually having the time to be grateful for what we have and share it. The ‘house’, the ‘human house’ needs to be reorganized.
