Plant a vegetable garden

Michelle Obama is planning the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden in World War II.

It's about time we resurrect the old fashion notion of a vegetable "victory" garden in every backyard or patio in America.

I think everyone should plant a vegetable garden. It's hours of family fun and exercise, not to mention all the great fresh vegetables you'll be enjoying.

Terminator



george orwell was indeed an extraordinary visionary

he would look upon the present day and say

truly, the nightmare of 1984 is beginning

surveillance is ubiquitous
and the nsa is listening and watching

perpetual war is exactly what we have with
the "war on terror"

robot drones kill "suspected" terrorists
.....judge, jury and executioner.....boom!

the global weapon$ trade is a force unto it$elf,
it is draining our very blood to do it$ bidding

secret space based weapon systems are being built
and will become the final solution for control of the world

eisenhower was right about the
"military-industrial complex", warning us didn't help

the united states spends nearly the same amount of
money on the war machine, as the rest of the world combined

The Corporate Myth

They don't pay any taxes........they pass the taxes on to you.

It started with price fixing........then it evolved into supply manipulation.

And then they get tax breaks........for paying no taxes.

Letter to Congress

A letter to congress........(sent one year ago)

Thanks to such documentary films as "Sicko" and "Maxed Out" the American people are starting to realize that the "Corporate Overlords", consisting of the Insurance Industry, Pharmaceutical Industries, HMO's, Banking and Credit Institutions, Petroleum and Gas Producers, Mortgage Lenders, Energy Brokers, with corporations such as Citibank, General Electric, American Intl. Group, Bank of America, HSBC Group, ExxonMobil, RoyalDutch/Shell, BP, ING Group, are and have been systematically and with coldhearted calculations, enslaving the American public and the worlds' people in an economic brutality that unbridled, influence peddling corporations could only have produced with the help of our elected officials. Every member of congress is duty bound to the voting public that elected them, not the lobbyists buying "favors" for cash or comfortable jobs in the "private sector". Whom do you serve, the people or the single-minded uncaring entities we call corporations? It is clear that "K Street" has made the hopes and dreams of the global corporate giants come true, and it is the "bought and paid for" congress that has betrayed the American public. As Thomas Jefferson put it, "when the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty". Today we have an economic tyranny, our government is ruled by corporations and it is congress and the president who are culpable. Be afraid, be very afraid, the winds of change are blowing, and they will sweep the traitorous from our midst, and we shall have liberty. We will VOTE. The ballot box is our weapon against this treachery. "It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped"-Hubert H. Humphrey. Tell congress to Pass H.R.676 Now, and support "PublicCampaign.Org". The writer of this piece is the author of the weblog "Lettuce Prey Four Whirled Peas", and is not afraid. "Don't Tread on Me".

As I look back at this letter to congress, I now realize my most glaring omission was not to include the multitude of armament manufacturers and defense contractors which I believe hold great sway over our, and the rest of the worlds' governments.
