This crisis underlines the excesses and uncertainties of a casino capitalism that has only one logic — lining your pockets. It also shows the bankruptcy of ‘law of the jungle’ capitalism that no longer invests in companies and job creation, but instead makes money out of money in a totally uncontrolled way.Martin Schulz

Free market idealism embodied in hair metal!
You know where you are? You’re in the jungle baby!…It’s gonna bring you down!W. Axl Rose
Live by the jungle, die by the jungle! This is the very essence of the free market. Deal with it.
P.s. This video is terrible, but I didn’t feel like getting sued by Axl today, so I used someone else’s clip on Youtube. The song remains the same.
Edit: finally got a good version of the video!

Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed.Ayn Rand

We owe no allegiance to any government. They owe abject allegiance to us.
Corporations are not human. Non-humans have no inalienable rights.
Single-payer or bust!
It is impossible to awaken someone who is pretending to sleep.
The failure of the mainstream media is particularly clear after viewing illustrative videos such as this. Though this clip showcases Occupy Portland, it makes the point for the entire #Occupy movement. For today’s “One Day On Earth” events, I’ll point you to this video. This is what democracy looks like.
Any law that requires an individual to pay money to a private corporation or face criminal penalty is a bad law and must be struck down. I could write pages and pages about the healthcare issues with this bill…
That’s right, kiddies, copying is not theft! Time to forget the propaganda that you are fed every time you pop a dvd into the player. Oh, it is still a crime thanks to our draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but it is not theft, so don’t feel like you are stealing, because you aren’t. Case in point: Nina Paley….
“Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell…It is about massive and systematic corruption of our elected officials and senior bureaucrats with the active connivance of the media. Worse, the corruption was carried out by agents of several foreign governments and involved nuclear secrets stolen from American defense laboratories and military bases that were, in some cases, sold to the highest bidder…”

Philosophically, I believe that Ella Wheeler Wilcox was correct when she said, "To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men."
