Religious fundamentalist have gotten pretty extreme in the last decade what with the Taliban, The Family, and the Westboro "baptist" Church foaming at the mouth about - too many things to list here. Maybe people are just having a hard time dealing with the shift in consciousness going on but when the Amish go after each other - Oh my God.
I think we all need to step back , relax and have a nice cold beer while we reconsider what is really behind all this anger and anxiety.

The War on Drugs has Failed.
Forty years ago Richard Nixon declared war on drugs and a recent commission has shown it to be a huge, dismal, expensive failure.
It's the typical narrow mindset that has continued this farce. If we do the same thing over and over, we'll get different results. If we just keep at it a little longer it will work. Nope. The fact is drugs are big, stupid, insane amounts of money for dealers, law enforcement, private prisons and drug companies. They like the war on drugs because there is so much money to be made, power to gain and general mayhem that profits them in one way or another. Fuck the addicts.
Never mind the abuse of power, lose of innocent lives, the political unrest and damage to those who can benefit from drugs. Oh no. We must stop the flow of drugs at all costs. Except the flow has not been stopped at all but all the other things listed have increased.
Please let's change our thinking. Raise our voice and say stop-this isn't working.

For What It's Worth
There is a new revolution in the air. People rising up and protesting a corrupt government that limits their rights. Where greed corruption, violence and suppression run amok and the population is fed up and fighting back. I'm not talking about Syria or Egypt, I'm talking here in the US. Some may think Occupy Wall Street isn't worth the attention.
I seen thing sort of thing before and so have many others.
This is not a left or right issue. The greed and power abused by the banks and the government affects everyone- at least the 99% who don't control the wealth inn this country.
The ruination of real democracy in this country is money and the power it brings.
There is something simple and basic we can all do to change the status quo. Move your money to a credit union or local bank. Limit or eliminate the use of a credit card. Buy local. Write to your congressman or representative and complain loudly. Tell them you will NOT vote for anyone who supports the avarice of Wall Street.
You believe in small government- good, get the government out of the their pockets. You believe in fiscal responsibility- good practice it and demand it of institutions. You can make a difference.
