From the Appeal to Reason: The Kidnappers' Special Poster
Is it just me? Could it be "just me?" How can this happen?
I read an essay. I like a comment. I give it a thumbs up.
I'm the first one to do so.
And what do I see there in front of me? A little note that says, "Just you voted." And I feel lost and alone.
Is it possible (if Sanders does not get the nomination) to convince progressives in RED STATES to vote for or write-in Sanders or Jill Stein and garner enough votes to begin the process of turning Red States and Blue States to the color purple?
Here's a brilliant idea from someone I know on Facebook:
23 is:
The 9th prime and the sum of 3 consecutive primes; 5, 7 and 11
The atomic number of Vanadium
The number of chromosomes in a human sperm or ova (haploid)
The number of times that Julius Caesar was stabbed.
There are so many good reasons to support Bernie, but IMO the greatest is his understanding of the crisis of climate change and his commitment to address it with urgency.

Hi! I'd just like to mention that this is my first time posting here. I'd also like to mention that I am from that massive slab of land up north (I think they call it Canada/s), so I apologize beforehand if I am intruding but read you were trying to get some Canadians here.
Our freedoms are lost folks. The black box of Diebold and other computer voting devices are stealing our democracy and this man shows how the variance in these vote tabulators would constitute fraud in any other place.

It's a short essay because really, this man says it all.
Fortunately I studied Samuelson and Nordhaus who at least pay lip service to the seminal macroeconomic insights of Keynes. One of the concepts Keynes explores is that what is rational and logical behavior from a micro-economic standpoint can be profoundly counter productive.
Take the case of Cheese.
We are experiencing a cheese glut, 3 extra pounds for every man, woman, and child. Even if we gave it away to the 795 Million people who according to the United Nations World Food Program "don’t have enough food" that would be one and a half pounds apiece.
