The volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcases.
Republican attacks are without basis, but when the Democrats attack me they’re usually right.
This is exciting, it is bold and it is absolutely necessary if we are to have any chance of stopping potentially catastrophic changes to our climate system.
We’re going to move left and right at the same time.
We’re being ripped off and screwed by a bunch of liars, thieves, crooks, and criminals, and they’re not the folks below. Don’t look in the streets, look in the corporate suites.
We have to be realistic about what the state can afford, and put an end to abuses of the system that cost millions.
In some cases, managers and employees have secured pensions beyond their original base salary. It is wrong, the people doing it know it’s wrong, and we have to put an end to it.
The corporation is not a person; it is a legal fiction backed up by guns and police and jail cells and taxing authorities and the regulators called government.
The corporation is an out-of-control Frankenstein.
Okay, so what we really have to recognize and own as Americans is that our way of being is itself perhaps the greatest threat to the continuation of civilization.
A lot of street crime is horrible, but in terms of the dislocation, the undermining of the family – the corporate criminals, many of whom reside in Congress and the White House – are getting away literally with murder.
So we are being systematically trained to fear this false ‘rising crime’ tide. This is all part of a system to lock up more people, and impose more control and surveillance.
The big lock-up is about drugs. Here’s the real scam. The drug war is one of the games to get more convictions and prisoners.
Here the system is creating an industry around the drug issue when it does nothing to stop the corrupt military that moves the drugs, and the big banks that are all in cahoots with the President and the big shots in the Congress.
We have to deal with where we are. We have to create cooperatives, we have to create intentional communities, we have to work for local cooperation where we are.
Look at the whole criminal correction game, which is a big piece of our economy. It’s just an invention. Crime is being invented to put people to work.
There’s nothing wrong with being an anarchist.
We are in a degenerate state of self-government. In fact, even to use the words self-government, is not only an exaggeration, it’s a lie. It’s a big lie!
Several unions have agreed to larger employee contributions for their members. Taxpayers are living with cuts and making sacrifices to deal with the reality of California’s budget crisis, state workers are going to have to do the same.
California is the third largest oil producer. More importantly, California burns more oil, consumes more oil than any state or collection of states in America.
We’re not going to have a backlash. We’re going to build a consensus. And I live in the real world, not the kind of fantasy goals that we would all like, but we would never achieve if we go about it in the blunderbuss fashion that your question would assume.
