The globe of globalization does not exist. Is there safe land we can return to?
From the earliest introduction to general science onward students are taught . . .
- Objects in space (far from any others) have:
- 1) a kinetic energy described by E = ½ m v²
- 2) a momentum described by p = m v
The curriculum, and most professors never emphasize that the above is just a convenient approximation grounded in our reliance in the past on experimental measurements.
In my intermittent ongoing OT series on visual populist? art I have now arrived at the beginning point that triggered both this series and my graphic art so called career. The Russians are coming! Not now but then. So I was sick of being a waitress and went to art school as I was a half ass good artist who wanted to make a buck or two.
A couple of days ago, I was discussing with some friends how would we describe the situation in the Labour Party; was it a movement, a revolution, how could we describe it? I am not comfortable with the term “revolution” as I think it plays into false usage of the term; it is a much misused term being used to describe almost any change that occurs.
Recent charges against Jill Stein and Amy Goodman are a sign that the oligarchy is warning us that it is going to be rougher from here on. Yes there have been arrests all along, but big oil is worried. The native People are challenging their ability to do as they please and costing them money in the process.
I have been a supporter of Bernie Sanders for years. He and I are of an age. I was thrilled when he started up a revolution of positive change. Take a close look at the word positive. One of the definitions of positive from Merriam-Webster is " indicating, relating to, or characterized by affirmation, addition, inclusion, or presence rather than negation, withholding, or absence ." It is change we can believe in.
