Jade commented on the blog post Occupy Wall Street and the Ghost of Democracy
There is a new tone in the civilization around me everywhere I go. People are smiling at each other again. Many will nod at each other as they pass in the street. There is a new solidarity that can not be turned back.

How to thank those patriots who put their lives on hold to fill the streets? Never ever forget why they are out there and hold them as heroes in your heart. This is our planet.

You definitely don’t get it, so take another bridge to work.

Jade commented on the blog post London Riots: The Boundaries of Freedom of Expression
When masses of people have been 2-year-contracted, baited-and-switched, billing recycled, education-in-debited-with-no-job-prospects, politically-redistricted, bank-feed-to-poverty, career-shipped-overseas, unpleasantly-surprised-by-routine costs, every-day-activity-criminalized, and those who are put in the position to look after their well being are co opted by very same perpetrators, what tools for survival do they have left?

Jade commented on the diary post Wisconsin – Democrats Come Up Short, but Don’t Score it as a Flat Loss by Bill Egnor.
I wouldn’t write off the Democratic solution so quickly, at least not in Wisconsin. Trust me, I do not live in Wisconsin and I know Democrat pols all over the country have learned and are learning from the 14 ELECTED Democrats who drew the line. A line that, by-the-way, still has not been crossed. I [...]

Well you have said a lot about what does not work, most of with which I agree. But you have said nothing about anything that will. I’m hoping you just didn’t have time, because if all you have is blame and complain, it looks, tastes and smells just like the system you are criticizing. Some [...]

Jade commented on the blog post America Unmoored – Elite Failure Leads to Utter Confusion
This is so right on. However, we have so many bright and curious young people. People who will be forced to see this as a humanitarian crisis rather than an America is the number one most powerful nation in the world crisis. Because for every bright, curious, freedom loving young adult in the US there 8 more around the world. And those 8 have a voice they never had before. I myself know several young adults who are changing the world and as a Baby Boomer who has never lost the values we fought for in the 60s and 70s I am excited to watch those values resurface and this time actually change the world.

Jade commented on the blog post The Spirit of Madison – FDL’s Founding Membership
This is about victimization by the fine print. I think everyone knows what I am talking about. You work hard, you do everything right, and yet you keep getting pushed down and backed into a corner and financially raped, by your bank, your phone company, your cable company, etc. And now that the rape is complete they want to remove any tools that might be available so that you might be able to drag yourself back to some quality of life and dignity. There are a lot of us and we have had it! States rights and individual rights do not only need to protected from government intrusion, but also the corporate intrusion that is occurring unabated.
