Agreed. It's downright lame to ban subjects that are plainly visible all around us. Problem is, you say something halfway controversial and you have a hundred people here screaming to see the "proof" in some double-blind, peer-reviewed Scientific Journal of Absolute Fact.

As I've said in some other threads, I really feel that this is the kind of stuff that it is going to take to really wake everyone up. We've been divided for so long, once we get a common enemy, we'll be able to band together like nothing before. And this time, we have technology so our history can never be stolen from us again. Everything is right on track, right where it's supposed to be. I apologize to anyone if I scared you with that stuff, but me personally, I'd rather know that this kinda stuff is about to happen so I can be mentally prepared for it. We've got a long, hard road ahead of us but we can get through it as long as we stick together. I love all of you guys and everything is going to be okay. But you must take action. Get involved. Do SOMETHING to help wake up your brothers, sisters, neighbors and REALLY be the change you wish to see in the world. Give yourself and your love freely. Help out. Give back. And let your voice be heard. We are free, sovereign individuals and this reign of terror will be over soon, just not soon enough. Power to The People... Power to The Peaceful... Solidarity ♥ Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element...

In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...

I think the average American is going to very surprised and shocked at how hard the hammer is going to come down from the government when a certain line is crossed and a real threat to the corporate power structure presents itself in some form. I think the government is well rehearsed in quelling any kind of major dissent that could take place in the U.S.. I'm thinking its gonna be really ugly. They have been taking steps and continue to The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Arthur C. Clarke http://vimeo.com/32001208

Did Obama sign it? there was talk that he would veto this thing. Holy god damn, things are happening quickly. This is basically an all encompassing allowance to quell any type of dissent that presents a real threat. This is a great article about what we can do collectively to move towards a positive outcome: http://www.realitysandwich.com/occupy_heart

If we do make it through this rough patch, the politicians that voted for this shitstorm need to be tried for high treason. They violated the oath they took to uphold the constitution. And i would not accept military tribunals in that matter, even those who wish to deprive others of the basic protections our constitution provides, deserve to have those rights themselves.

I read in huffpost that the white house threatened to veto it, but I read earlier that this came as a response to a request by someone within the administration. It's looking like veto is inevitable: http://www.aclu.org/blog...ing-indefinite-detentionHopefully all this amounts to is rotten senators shooting themselves in the foot.

I was relieved to see that both senators from my state and my local representative opposed the bills ( S1867 in the senate, H.R. 1540 in the house). Still, the margins by which this passed are horrifying: 93% in the senate, 77% majority in the house. If/when the differences between the house and senate versions are reconciled and this goes to the president, he would have to do more than veto it: he would have to change people's minds. Either 44 representatives or 27 senators who initially supported this thing would have to oppose it to stop congress from overriding the veto. Now would be a good time to contact your representatives.

Any word on when congress is set to vote on this thing or did they already? I've been out of the loop and haven't heard word of our impending doom lately. What are we but stupefied dancers to a discordant stystem, we believe - so we're mislead
we assume - so we're played
we confide - so we're deceived
we trust - so we're betrayed
