Strange and Stupid Things, Are We Reallly That Stupid

Yahoo - AP - Pope keeps cleric who leads nun crackdown in job. This is a very strange Pope. I grew up Catholic and was even an alter boy once. When the Pimpernel was young, he was much more aggressive if attacked. While receiving my first holy communion, I punched another boy while walking to the church. While receiving my good conduct medal while in ROTC, I punched one of the others. I must say though that in each case, they through the first punch. I just through the last. The priests I grew up with were smart (I think they all had doctorates), boxers and Irish, what was there not for me to love. I spoke to them openly and even had my confessions with them. The Catholic church has changed and this new Pope, he is different. I will keep an eye on him.

TED - Benjamin Barber: Why mayors should rule the world. Many people expect globalism to be apparent; but, it will not be. Local control determined by globalists. The attack is not on too big to fail, it is on to big to effect a global outcome other than where the global laws are written.

I think I already posted this; but, I am not sure. In either case, a great video. YouTube - The Impending Collapse of the World Economy (Full Documentary). It explains why going to a gold standard makes no sense.

Yahoo - AP - What 95% certainty of warming means to scientists. Turns out the planet is cooling; but, a lot of money was bet on taxing you for breathing, carbon taxes. Read the tone of the article, if you do not believe in "global warming", they hate you. Why such hatred? I don't hate people who think the world is flat, I just think they are stupid. Maybe they have an agenda. I watched a bunch of people who were involved in creating a system for carbon trading in California, they were just concerned with making money.

Yahoo - Daily Ticker - The 99% Owe “A Debt of Gratitude” to the 1%: Harry Binswanger. You just have to watch this video. This professor and writer says that anyone who has made a million dollars should not have to pay any taxes. He doesn't say why the rest of us should because we don't matter. This is a theme that is being played before your eyes, keep reading.

Yahoo - Daily Ticker - JPMorgan to Pay $11B Settlement (Reports): Is Bank a Scapegoat or a Scoundrel? Not long ago I specifically stated that something is seriously wrong at JP Morgan. Now it turns out they may have to pay out $11 billion in penalties. The talking heads argue over whether or not the stockholders should suffer for the actions of their company. Well, if a company is a person, the answer is yes.

The last two articles laid out how the "elites" view the world. They shouldn't have to pay taxes or be held accountable when they do wrong. This is scary territory. A "let them eat cake" attitude is very dangerous. I will truly screw up something Abraham Lincoln said. You can screw up some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time; but, you cannot screw all of the people all of the time. The biggest question is why would you even try? Why should a presidential candidate and openly state that he does not care about half the country, half it's citizens? That is insanity; but, Romney said it.

There is a rise in alternative media. On some levels it is better; but, they also have a tendency to over react. I consider my site to be alternative; but, I also consider it to be opinion and not a news source. I provide links to news sources, that may end soon, we shall see. There is currently an attempt to charge people for linking to copy written material on the web. This will destroy opinion websites. Maybe you can understand why I have never monetized this site. I didn't start and don't keep this site to make money. I want nothing other than to know that my words got beyond my own head. Things to consider.
