Gallogarden commented on the diary post Digital Grab: Corporate Power Has Seized the Internet by Norman Solomon.
Being internet uneducated, I have to share one thought, I wish Norman Solomon had accompanied each point with examples. Discussing the openness and closedness of the Internet, for example, could have benefitted from explanations. Again, as concerned as I am about this medium remaining open to all, I repeat, I am neither computer or internet [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Alternatives to Capitalism: an Open Thread by wendydavis.
Wendy, the comparisons to be made from some of these observations seem aligned with the Liberation Theology movement you wrote about recently. As always, I am in awe of the breadth of the knowledge you bring to these pages, and the resultant stimulating ideas generated by the readers. Kudos dear lady, to you and all [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Alternatives to Capitalism: an Open Thread by wendydavis.
Your preference for “a democracy where all have a voice and no one member/group makes a decision affecting all” strikes me as having the problems apparant in the Occupy movement. There was a lack of direction, and in my opinion, therefore an absence of energy directed toward change. Occupy, not having “singleness of purpose”, perhaps [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement News and Overviews by wendydavis.
Dear Lady, Thank you, WD for helping me understand the depth and depravity of TPP. I remember posting something here months ago about TPP, but I had no where near the understanding that your links provide. I still feel woefully uninformed, and as soon as I recover my equilibrium (this leaves me reeling) I plan [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post US Still Fighting Liberation Theology: Wikileaks Revelations by wendydavis.
Ah Wendy, what a wonderful summary of both the theological underpinnings of Liberation Theology but also the politics of the movement. At one time I had great hopes for that movement to last beyond Vietnam. The Berrigan brothers (one a Senator and his brother an activist, both Catholic and silenced), are probably the best known [...]

Let me try this again…as a former Catholic, and one who lived through JohnXXlll’s Vatican ll, I had great hope for changes in the CC including an empowerment of workers. The crack down following that gentle man’s death was shocking to many progressive people of faith. That was the beginning of the exodus of Catholics [...]

This is heart breaking. Thank you for allowing us to mourn her death, and honor her life by talking about this horrible crime.

Gallogarden commented on the diary post Flu Prevention? Try Paid Sick Days by EllenBravo.
As a nurse the only helpful info I can add to this depressing blog is wash your hands. Don’t touch your face when you are out until you have first washed your hands. Don’t eat anything until you have washed your hands, don’t share food, don’t eat popcorn or chips from the same bowl and [...]

Gallogarden commented on the diary post MSNBC Host Trashed by Obama Supporters for Not Always Calling Him “President Barack Obama” by EdwardTeller.
What do I think? Edward Teller, I can hardly utter his name any longer, and have resorted to O, in the unfortunate event it is necessary to refer to him at all.

Gallogarden commented on the diary post A Mother’s Lament: Johnny’s Gone for a Soldier by wendydavis.
My dear friend, you have been in my thoughts all day. It is cold here in Pittsburgh, PA, with about 6 inches of snow on the ground. Global warming has made our winters milder, but during the cold weather I bake when I am thinking. (In warmer weather I’m in the garden, or creating salads, [...]

Gallogarden commented on the blog post Banks Win Delay On Derivatives Rule
Nothing has made me angrier at this administration, Obama in particular, than the fact that there have been no consequences for Wall St’s behavior since they wrecked the economy, and sent this country, and a good portion of the world, into a depression. The collusion on the part of Congress and our various banking and money agencies furthers validates the depth of corruption in all parts of government today. They stink to high heaven.
If only I could draw, the perfect editorial cartoon would be an image of Wall St. bankers, and government employees all emanating fumes as they walk about inside the beltway. The stench must make working with these folks untenable.
So there is a commodity market manipulation tax, but we can’t get a transaction tax to help repay the country for the dammage caused by Wall St. Absolutely astounding. What odious people we have in DC and running our corporations today. Nothing, absolutely nothing will change until the working people rise up in total rebellion, start their own banks, and refuse to deal with the government as it is currently running. Insread of a Boston Tea Party revolt, we will have to resort to a tax revolt. Some old wise farmer used to say something along the lines that you couldn’t get a horse to do anything until you got its attention, using a 2X4. Me thinks our government needs the 2X4 treatment now.
