Reject the Herd

Great piece, worth watching. Debt is modern Slavery, the debt the U.S. is in is so large it can never be repaid.

Outstanding Documentary, I highly recommend watching!

This is from one of America's forgotten Hero's, Smedley Butler.

I have a sudden and physical reaction to violence. It has gotten to the point that I have a harder and harder time watching even sensationalised Hollywood violence. Violence touches everyone in our society down to the intimate inner dialog that tells us we aren't good enough. Escalation of violence follows an insidious road of power struggles in relationships to opportunistic jabs at co-workers; one-upmanship turns a neighbor into an "other", predatory and threatening - a beginning to the justification of violent solutions to insure comfort.

I have a lot of respect for warriors, and even more respect for warriors who move on in life, obviously culling wisdom from their experience with war. I feel like it is paramount that human beings stop buying into the idea that war is inevitable or natural or judicious in any way. The preparation for the 'inevitable' (which is, I believe, causing) escalation of violence globally costs us as a people so much that we can't even focus on more important tasks at hand. The rallying-cry since September 11, 2001 has been "War on Terror", which has served to tie the hands of Congress and make billions of dollars disappear down a hot, sandy hole far away from here.
