Food democracy is a true grassroots movement toward sustainable, responsible, healthy and community-based food production and distribution. The food democracy movement asserts that people have the power and the responsibility to actively participate in decisions concerning their food system. The ultimate goal of food democracy is to guarantee that all people have access to affordable, healthy and […]
Of course they lie. They lie because they want to. They lie because they can. They lie because it is second nature to them; it just comes naturally. These people have no conscience: they lack empathy, and they lack of any sense of responsibility for their actions. Dishonesty, arrogance, greed and corruption are hardwired into […]
I’m having politics fatigue. I haven’t exactly run out of evidence to support my position, but there is a particular stumbling block I keep running into when I try to reach across the proverbial aisle to have one of those “difficult conversations” with Trumpanzees such as my asshole brother. I don’t understand why I have […]
Fascism is an easy enough tag to apply to current political trends; but it is not a fully appropriate label. America has been slowly morphing into something else over the past fifty-plus years. The super-rich now own the vast majority of wealth, income, and most of the shares in publicly traded companies, including the 6 […]
America’s public school system has been a failure because of a successful 30-year GOP effort to de-fund the system in favor of private and charter schools. The purpose of this policy was always to destroy the learning environment of the students, and extinguish the average child’s innate desire to explore and learn. This indoctrination – […]
Obedience to authority is one of the hallmarks of the Trump cult. Dozens of recent studies have shown how the “conservative” mind is different from normal human brains.

People are missing the big picture regarding this whole sordid Jeffery Epstein affair. Here is the Truth: Jeffrey Epstein was part of a global pedophile ring – part of a human trafficking network which has been operating behind the scenes of global geopolitics since Biblical times. Call them Satanists, Reptilians, Freemasons, the Illuminati or whatever […]
Unions have done a lot of good things for working people in America. Labor unions like the AFL-CIO, Teamsters and UAW helped to create the middle class. Because of all the benefits unionization has provided for working men and women over the years, Republicans have tried to demonize them as part of some vague socialist […]
There are a lot of really scared people in this country right now. They are terrified of immigrants and women and homosexuals; they fear science, diversity, Hispanics, Natives, Blacks — or even worse — mixed race people like me. Most of all, they fear change. They are worried that America will soon be unrecognizable, and […]
A growing body of research confirms that incompetence robs people of the ability to recognize their own stupidity. In other words: dumb people are too dumb to realize it. The Dunning–Kruger effect originates from a cognitive bias study conducted at Cornell University in which incompetent individuals were shown to suffer from the illusion of superiority, […]
