this is also a local story for me as well.

i remember when both Amanda and Gina went missing.  i remember when Gina went missing there was speculation that perhaps they were taken by the same individual as they went missing in the same area.

it was amazing that not only were they found alive after all this time, but that they were found together.

i am quite worried about Michelle as her family is a mess and she was having mental problems even before she was kidnapped.  add to that, the fact that while people were still searching for Gina and Amanda and the news was covering it, no one even knew she was missing.  and now it's being reported that she had been beaten so badly that she'll need reconstructive facial surgery.

Bumpity!

I would much rather see anarchist flags instead of the commie flags in the video but the song is great.

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

sometimes destruction is necessary for construction.

*edit for clarity.  this statement isn't really about property or people, but rather social/political/economic systems.

 

The destruction of social, political, economic system seldom comes without bloodshed. Gradual shift is what modern civilized society should pursue.

Not a fan of bloodshed either but keep in mind that gradual shift as opposed to revolution also comes with bloodshed.  maybe not the flashy kind that most people think about when it comes to revolution, but capitalism is drowning in the bloodshed that it causes be it from war or poverty.  so do thing like racism, sexism and homophobia.  all those things cause bloodshed.

But, I think it starts with people who are unsettled with life and not having a direction or moral compass or passion/purpose in life.  At least, that’s how they feel.  So they have this hole in them.  They are lacking.

speaking as a "radical" i can say that this is hogwash.  i have am very settled in life, a have a defined moral compass and plenty of passions and purpose in my life.  but that doesn't change the fact that i'm an avowed anarchist-communist or that i fully advocate the replacement of the US government (and all others) with a vastly different system.

however if you only view "radical" as someone who kills other folks, then no, that is not me in the slightest.

Sequestration will most directly impact the moochers and looters.

so what you're saying is that it's most directly going to impact bosses and politicians?

i can get behind that!

i don't have a cell phone.  i only have a landline.  i don't need to be available 24/7.  people can leave a message and i'll get back to them when i actually have time.

Typically I've heard it referred to being that the countries who have historically been the contributors to climate change need to pony up a larger share to help fight the effects of said change and also help, through technological know-how, less developed countries avoid becoming heavy polluters themselves while they develop.

not remotely what i advocate.  not at all.

More like co-operative government, via committee?

Since I don't have time to adequately respond and don't want to continue to further derail the thread, I have to merely submit a link.
