lies lies lies... nothing has changed. We need to re-regulate the media. We cannot live in a free society without a free press. In USA you let the 1st Amendment be taken away from you and the 2nd Amendment "constitutionalists" cheered as the First Amendment died. They only saw a use for their guns, they did not know it is the pen not the sword that protects their rights.

What do you want your kids to be when they grow up? ALIVE! That wish is the same no matter what race or religion or nation. In America that is hard for minorities , especially black folks. So many of their kids are being jailed or executed for doing anything while being black.... They are Americans , now whites are also a minority. Get used to living in a multi-cultural society. Stop the violence , stop the racism and bring the guns under control. Obama said we are better than this. I am not so sure. America needs to prove it now. It's exceptionalism in no long...Read more

SO If these second amendment NUTZ and the NRA are correct that only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, then why is it that the good guys, the Dallas police, were being gunned down? Texas is an open carry state, and millions of them Texans carry guns supposedly so they can be the good guys with guns to defend themselves AND OTHERS, they tell us, so how come not one of those "heroes," those ...good guyz - widda' gun, not one of them swooped in to take out the bad guys and save the cops?

Jeffrey Chu and I are working on new media projects together along with a team of great people in Shanghai. This project stemmed from an interest in Architecture, history and nostalgia that we share. I have done a small documentary about visiting a person still living in a nongtang the very night before it was torn down. Team member Jude Jiang has been working on a project on the fading shanghai architecture and its unique nongtang alley culture. This barbershop in this video is slated for demolition before the end of the year.

President Obama "We are better than this" Apparently not.. these are teepartie republicans. they are not patriots, they are not good Americans. They are an embarrassment to themselves and the nation. If you do not like living in a multi-cultural society -- MOVE. Nobody is forcing you to live in USA. Thankfully now the whites are a minority group, albeit the largest one. but now USA is entirely composed of minorities. Welcome to the melting pot.

This is the damage done by economies of scale. ie the Walmartization and big box stores. It turns proud business owners that supported good paying jobs for several other families as well as supporting their own family into cashiers or shelf stockers that can no longer even support their own family. And the conservative response is that they should "better themselves" if they want higher than minimum wage.

From Rick Twombley to Richard Trombly to Richard Trombly to you

Raise the minimum wage $15. Specialization is for insects!! A person should be able to perform a wide variety of tasks. Everyone should have to do some labor jobs no matter their income or station of birth. After working in a restaurant and warehouse, I will never ever think lowly of the hard working folk that are being paid near minimum wage.

Here are some of the different career moves I have had. I know It sounds like Homer Simpson.

dairy farmer, dishwasher, prep cook, bartender, bus driver, driving instructor, radio announcer/voiceover, loading...Read more

Civil society is about assuring the freedoms and equality of all of us. Libertarians only support their own freedom at the cost of yours.

Guidelines to living in a civil society-- "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and a...Read more
