Realigning Priorities
This is based on my observation and perception. I have not done vast research as I normally would. It is something I mentioned in a post quite a while ago and then didn’t really think about 
until a couple of thoughts collided. The first was all the press given to bakeries refusing to make cakes for same sex weddings. The second was a visit to the Facebook page The Republican War on Women. Okay, wait, three. The third was watching Panti Noble’s Call at the Abbey Theatre and thinking about oppr...

Panti Noble’s Call at the Abbey Theatre
Reblogged from The Bilerco Project/YouTube
Fantastic. She says more in 11 minutes that I could in 11 posts, far more adeptly.

Enough is Enough: Silence is Acquiescence. So is Attendance.
There comes a time when people need to stop and think about the larger picture. Not about how something effects simply them as an individual, but how it effects an entire group of people and the possibility of what could happen to those people. Not surround ourselves in little bubbles of calm with the attitude that an issue doesn’t concern them and it effects other people, not them–it’s more important to stay calm and happy than be angry and upset, to actually feel passionate about a cause be...

People in positions of power are abusing it to such a degree it leaves me feeling I am living in a surreal alternate reality created by Terry Gilliam. Ironically, also in a Terry Gilliam movie, Time Bandits, at the end of the film all that is left are charred, smoking remains. “Don’t touch it, it’s evil!” Kevin, the little boy cries out. But, as adul...

Consolidation
This is an interesting sort of thing here. Its purpose is to show even when we think we have a choice, often, we don’t, and things are much more complicated than they seem. Acquisitions and mergers are literally impossible to keep track of, because they’re happening constantly. Some of these are important to some of us in greater or lesser degrees; for example, I’m not going to be buying a new car anytime soon, but it’s still interesting to know. The way I look at it is as if the individual c...
