***** link. Francis, visibly moved by the poor in the room: "Many of you have been stripped by this savage world that does not give employment, that does not help, that does not care if there are children in the world who are dying of hunger, does not care if so many families have nothing to eat," he said. He decried a world "that does not care about many people who have to flee poverty and hunger, flee seeking freedom and many times they find death, as happened yesterday in Lampedusa".

pic. Bertolt Brecht: "The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He doesn't hear, doesn't speak, nor participate in the political events. He doesn't know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn't know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies."

Anyone going to the play QUAND LA MER by TNO.. Here is a video about the eco-disaster
It is based on a true life eco-crisis affecting the Aral Sea; which was
once the 4th largest body of fresh water in the world. You may or may
not be aware of severe shrinking of Aral Sea in Uzbekistan and
Kazakhstan.
Greater
Sudbury’s Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario’s new coproduction entitled “Quand

disappearing of the Aral Sea, one of the most striking environmental
disasters of all times.

Everything we have beyond what is needed for bare survival is the near exact measure of what we are stealing out of the mouths, and from over the heads, of today and tomorrow's destitute. Earth became a zero sum game in the 70's, objectively - that's when we passed the threashold where earth created more than we consumed each year. Now, all that we have beyond base human needs is literally out of the mouths of the destitute - present and future. I'd actually rather die, in a heartbeat, than do that. And, like those in that Economy of Happiness, I feel so aLive having largely separated myself from it.

***** This whole thing is a Koch Brother, ALEC, et al, fascist coup attempt - it is quite brilliant, and consummate evil. I don't know how I didn't see it, and I've seen no one write of it. With the gerrymandering of 2010, they 'legally' have placed their terrorists inside the government, and they can't be touched. And their job, what they are being paid to do is to wreck it. Period. The Koch's and other humanoid raptors, they want every tax dollar in their own pockets, and the people destitute, desperate, willing to be slave labor. I'm sure Pr. Obama sees it. I've just seen it. How to stop it? Those districts are impregnable. There must be a way. I don't see it yet.

The hope was to see the most audacious, escalated period of resistance to extreme energy in a generation.
50 actions and nearly 500 arrests later, it's fair to say that this vision was fulfilled.
In communities across the country, people put their bodies on the line
to fight for whats right. As we move into autumn and the new year, we
must build on the momentum and courage that the movement has
established. ...See More

MUST MUST READ, AND SHARE: Robert Reich on Shutdown.... They feed off of anger and cynicism.
An
old friend, who has been active in politics for more than thirty years,
told me yesterday that he was giving up. "I can't stomach what's going
on in Washington any more," he said. "The hell with all of them. I have
better things to do with my life." My friend is falling exactly into the
trap that the extreme right wants all of us to fall into -- such
disgust and cynicism that we all give up on politics. Then they're free
to take over everything.
Make no mistake: Ted Cruz and his Tea
Party followers, and the Koch brothers and their other financial
patrons, are relishing this shutdown. They're delighted that 95% of the
Environmental Protection Agency is down, so polluters can do whatever
they want; that 80% of the Labor Department is down, so unscrupulous
employers can trample on their employees; that much of the Securities
and Exchange Commission is down, so corporations can have a field day.
And they'd like nothing more than a default on the nation's debt in two
weeks, because the resulting financial chaos will cause even more of us
to become angry and cynical. That's the point: They feed off of anger
and cynicism.
Our response should be the opposite: We will not
give in to bullies or intimidation, and nor will we give in to cynicism
about what our government needs to be and who it needs to serve. We
will remain engaged and active, and push every member of Congress as
well as the President to remain steadfast.
