Middle-class this, middle-class that, WHAT ABOUT US POOR PEOPLE???

It seems like the only time we get mentioned is when RW assholes like Mittens and Newt shit on us, otherwise zilch. It's all about "the middle class", a sickening term the PTB use to divide the more well off wage slaves from the less well ones.

This is why OWS and it's 99% meme is so important, it focuses on the real issue.

Old Zen saying: "if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him".

It means to keep an open mind and not believe something because some prominent practitioner says "you must believe this because it is doctrine and correct", go by your own experience rather than blindly following what some zen master or lama or Burmese abbot or New Age cult leader says.

If Newt is the Puke candidate this will be the nastiest election of my lifetime

I'm 25 and the pure hatred the far right oozed in 2008 is the worst I've seen in a presidential election in my lifetime. If Newt is the nominee it's going to be much worse than even 2008.

There is a spammer on the loose in Good Reads.

I've alerted a bunch of threads by the spammer already.

The Red Flags of Quackery

I'm sick of the misconception that Socialism = Command Economy.

This socialist totally rejects the notion of a command economy, I believe in a co-op-based market economy, with only things like healthcare, utilities, etc. controlled by the government.

Dr. Robert Atkins. Was he a genius, a quack, both?

I strongly agree with him that the high-carb, low-fat diet promoted by mainstream nutritionists is actually unhealthy and fattening (And IMO is all about maximizing the profits of Agribusiness). In my experience when I eat carb-rich foods I'll feel hungry again in a couple hours, but when I eat a meal with lots of protein and fat I actually feel full for as long as 10 hours afterwards, and therefore I eat less.

On the other hand, he seems to have went off the deep end in his later years into the nutritional supplement woo. Thinking, for example, that high doses of Vitamin B12 cures Autism.
