    As if all the time, energy, money, sweat, tears, injuries and sacrifices made by the 16 year-old athlete, and her family, to successfully train for this occasion isn’t enough, and apparently it’s not enough for some people,* and you know who you are.* There are, as always, “some” who are envious, “they” are finding fault, and talking about her hair.

    Bringing The Third World Home: USA Child Labor Abuses in Agriculture

    Aug 10, 2012 in Education, U.S. Labor

    There was a time in the U.S. when we believed the child labor abuses were a thing of the past. Even the mention of the phrase “child labor” brought to mind nineteenth century sweatshops in New York City’s Lower Manhattan or visions of youngsters pulling plows or harvesting crops on farm acreage found in the agricultural centers of other locations.

    NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit found children working a full day in the fields picking, trimming and cultivating fresh fruits and vegetables. The children often work nine to ten hours a day in temperatures of 100 degrees or more. (more…)

    Mark Fiore, Center for Media and Democracy Unveil ALEC

    Aug 05, 2012 in U.S. Politics, You Think So

    and you want to go up to show him our legislative agenda.”

    U.S. Number Of Vacant Homes Greater Than Number Of Homeless People

    Aug 04, 2012 in You Think So

    We’ve been saying it all along. There is no housing shortage.

    In the Depression of the 1930s there was so much surplus food it was dumped into the ocean rather than give it away to the millions who were starving.

    In this current depression there are so many empty homes they, the banks, are letting them rot to the ground rather than give them as shelter to homeless persons, including children, even allowing them to pay whatever they can.
    We seem to prefer waste to helping each other.

    There is no excuse!

    We hear all the time about the resilience of the American people; our We Can Do It attitude. We all know when the government wants to do a project, where there’$ a will there’$ plenty of funding for the project to prevail. (more…)
