I believe that every human being has a right to express themselves. FREELY! specially in America. But still we have to be cautious not to offend anybody by our points of views. So, for me... there is no reason for anybody to hurt his fellowmen no matter how appalled they were of the comment made. The Golden rule should prevail... :do unto others what you want others to do unto you.
They have to keep the population down somehow. It's growing at a fast enough rate as is, and I'm sure they figure there isn't much wrong with hundreds of thousands of people dying. It'll just allow the nonsmokers to enjoy the world a little longer, with more space. :)
Symbols are everywhere. Red lights signal us to stop. An icon on a cell-phone tells us we have a new message. Al line of sight indicates where we aim to fire. We learn symbols by a variety of people: parents, teachers, pastors, and politicians. We agree on what symbols mean. Those who inform us, like former governors, have a responsibility to those who they instruct, especially when these people make laws, for instance, on gun control. The basic fundamentals of communication is to be clear to your audience and know who your audience is. When you have a large audience and signals such as the line of sight of a gun on particular states within the U.S. with which you have obvious disagreements with those representatives, should never be shown to the public. Your distaste should be hidden, not transparent and certainly not shared with the public in child-like antics. No matter what your personal aches and pains, you rise above and work through the system for better results. Grown ups are suppose to know better, especially when they're elected officials. This is not someone who should ever be in a government position or leadership role.
By a margin of 2-to-1, unemployed workers fear they will never regain the financial position they had before the recession, according to some of the main findings from the study titled "The Shattered American Dream: Unemployed Workers Lose Ground, Hope, and Faith in their Futures." More than three-quarters of the long-term unemployed (76 per cent) say they have "a lot less" in income and savings now, compared with when the recession began. Many have borrowed money from friends and family, sold possessions and gone without needed health care.

Powerful corporations such as Bayer (pesticides) & Monsanto (pesticides & genetically modified seed), and Arthur Daniel Midland (corn) put profits above & before people, the Earth, and Democracy. The largest and most successful corporations run their business as a war, modern day Robber Barons. A primary tool for corporations is to influence “knowledge”&/or “truth”, the cultural, scientific, and governmental beliefs we have in our society. This is because what we believe to be “true” guides our thinking, beliefs, and behavior. This so called ”truth/knowledge” influences our definition of what the problems are and what the solutions are to be.
A primary strategy of corporate warfare is to destroy the power of Democracy which includes the voice of the people and the power of our government. Jill Richardson’s article sheds light on this process and its consequences. By reducing and restricting governmental power, corporations gain greater freedom to pursue profits with disregard to its negative consequences. Less effective governmental corporations than frame as evidence to further reduce governmental power and size.
The EPA, as well as most other department of our Government has been strategically attacked through Corporate America’s influence on our ideological & cultural beliefs. Because of an overwhelming acceptance of Milton Freidman economics as truth and utilizing this belief as justification to rape our world, corporate influence over our government and society has been extremely successful. Through their the funding of antidemocratic think tanks, effective public relations, and lobbying Congress, Corporate America has guided our beliefs and behavior to accept that a smaller less powerful government would be beneficial for us.
Although “some countries, like France, Germany, and Italy, banned or restricted the use of neonicotinoids”, corporate globalization with the help of its co-opted institutions of the World Bank & International Monetary Fund with their antidemocratic economic policies may eventually stop foreign governments from interfering with corporate agendas. There has already been considerable success with Freidman economic policies (Neoliberalism, Neoconservativism, &/or the Chicago School) destroying countries around the world for selfish greed. Remember that in war, including economic war, collateral damage is an acceptable cost to the offense.
Corporate influence on society’s primary institutions, i.e. government, education, judicial, & mass media, help define what our culture & society was, is, & will be. Media mergers have allowed greater control over media messages. The battle over Net Neutrality, WikiLeaks, and the assignation attempt of Congressperson Gabrielle Giffords are all connected by strategic influence over American Democracy & the power of the people vs Corporations.
Anonymous wrote: “It is absolutely outrageous that Bayer should be responsible for conducting its own product testing”, and “we would talk about EPA credibility”. It is a corporate agenda to reduce the effectiveness of governmental agencies and then use this strategically designed reduced effectiveness as evidence and justification to destroy the agency and to justify private-for-profit 3rd party corporations to take the government’s agency’s place. Corporations exist to make money. Governments within Democracies exist for other reasons than profit maximization: to protect the people, the Earth and Democracy from antidemocratic entities, including corporations.
