#ThaiUprising
DEC 9th, 2013 - More than 5 million Thai people got out on the streets to communicate something. The words "No Corruption!" have begun to flow in a huge ocean of conversation everywhere. We are in the process of redesigning our democracy to have it really work for our country. This is a never-before conversation and a new possibility in front of us. And we have lots to do from now on, for ourselves and the next generations.
PS: This is a non-violent move, we move with courage, peace and smiles

"In
Sweden, the minimum wage is $19 per hour and workers enjoy a minimum of
5 weeks paid vacation every year. In the U.S. the minimum wage is a
tick above $7 per hour and workers can expect no more than 12 days of
annual vacation. So guess what? IKEA has set up a factory in Virginia.
Volkswagen has set up in Tennessee, and the likes of Hyundai, KIA, BMW,
Honda, and Toyota have all set up in the South to take advantage of the
world’s latest cheap labor source."

I've
bumped into people who want to kill everyone. And in all honesty I
understand them. Do I agree with the method of solution, no. But, the
evidence is substantial of the human population being more of a problem
than a solution to the bigger picture because of the current economic,
political and social models we've been following.Wealthy Teen Gets Only Probation for Killing 4 People While Driving Drunk (Video). aattp.org
On
June 15, sixteen year old Ethan Anthony Couch and seven friends stole
alcohol from a local Walmart. After getting hammered, they decided it
was a good idea to head to another store for a “beer run,” so they
embarked on a brisk, drunken 70-mph cruise through a 40-mph zone.
A few hours later, four people were dead and NO ONE is being held accountable.

"One
of the first to notice what was going on was Portland journalist Paul
Richmond. “The unfortunate truth about community policing as it is
currently being implemented is that it is anything but community based,”
Richmond wrote in a 1997 article for the alternative newspaper PDXS.
Instead, he wrote, in Portland the grants had resulted in “increased
militarization of the police force.”
