I know that many people in the US are scared out of their wits that the US is “going the way of Sweden” and turning into a socialist society. I almost laugh out loud every time I hear that. For starters…the US is so FAAAAARRRR from being a socialist nation it’s not even possible. Secondly, going the way of Sweden wouldn’t really be so bad if you consider...

Why do you want to get yourself involved in all these concepts? Even if they are concepts, whatever anybody tells you, it can only be according to the concepts which arise in the consciousness. Whatever you can think about, whatever questions you can ask, whatever curiosity you have is only since this consciousness arose. It is only when you are conscious that anything can happen. So...

Manifest Haiti: Monsanto's Destiny →
Nearly 60,000 seed sacks of hybrid corn seeds and other vegetable seeds were donated to post-earthquake Haiti by Monsanto. In observance of World Environment Day, June 4, 2010, roughly 10,000 rural Haitian farmers gathered in Papaye to march seven kilometers to Hinche in celebration of this gift. Upon arrival, these rewarded farmers took their collective Easter baskets of more than 400 tons...

We the People are the first three words of the Preamble to the Constitution; and from its adoption until the Robber Baron Era in the late nineteenth century, people meant human beings. In the 1886 Santa Clara case, however, the court reporter of the Supreme Court proclaimed in a “headnote”—a summary or statement added at the top of the court decision, which is separate from the...

Our True Nature is who we already are, not something we can become or attain in the future. The paradox becomes that we somehow don’t recognize this fact and spend years searching for something that was never lost, and if we’re fortunate, we’ll run into a teacher along the way who will simply, as the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition puts it, “point out” what is perfectly...

The companies try to present a united front that censoring the internet is a good thing. It includes the usual suspects of Viacom and NBC Universal on the content side and Louis Vuitton and Tiffany on the counterfeiting side, but there are a few other interesting names: such as Monster Cable (never met an IP law it didn’t want to abuse, apparently), the...

The House of Mercy homeless shelter in Columbus, Georgia, might want to go back and read their Bible. There’s a passage in Isaiah they should pay particular attention to: “Share your bread with the hungry, take the homeless into your homes, clothe the naked when you see him/her, do not turn away from people in need.”

Vatican warned Irish bishops not to report abuse →
DUBLIN – A 1997 letter from the Vatican warned Ireland’s Catholic bishops not to report all suspected child-abuse cases to police — a disclosure that victims’ groups described as “the smoking gun” needed to show that the church enforced a worldwide culture of covering up crimes by pedophile priests.

After all, companies are run by human beings. Company logos don’t make decisions by themselves.
As it currently stands, the company usually gets away scot free or with a slap on the wrist. Oh, they do have to pay fines, and in this case it was three quarters of a billion dollars, but when your profits are over $100 billion, it’s is not much more than a speeding ticket...
