What's Goin` On?

A L O H A!

"Clearly, we're not in the middle of a normal recovery.

Wall Street may have it's casino up and running again,

but Main Street shows no signs of bouncing back anytime soon.

From foreclosures to unemployment

to household debt

to bankruptcies,

the American middle class is under assault - 

and America is in danger

of becoming a third World nation."

Arianna Huffington

"The working classes didn't bring this on.

It was the big boys 

that thought the financial drunk 

was going to last forever,

and over-bought,

over-merged,

and over-capitalized."

Will Rogers, 1931

"Wall Street paid 

an estimated $20.8 Billion in bonuses

 for 2010."

Thomas DiNapoli,

 New York State Comptroller

"Agnotology

is the study of ignorance

that is deliberately manufactured

or politically

or culturally generated.

. . .ignorance also comes

from people literally 

suppressing truth -

or drowning it out -

or trying to make it

 so confusing 

that people stop caring

about what's true

and what's not."

Robert Procter,

Historian of Science,

Stanford University

"They only call it

"class warfare"

when we fight

back."

"The decisions made today...
will determine whether
the planet goes to hell
or goes to heaven. . . 
We are the transitional generation,
The critical choices
lie in our hands.
Future generations
will know who we were.
They will think of us often.
They will curse us,
or they will
bless us."


Marianne Williamson
