Good morning 99percenters!
We had some changes to the site over the last week. The bug in the tag system was fixed, you can now go ape shit tag crazy.

Caucus99percent site history and site meta. Please read this all the way through, folks, especially the end, it's important for the future of this site.

Good morning 99percenters!
First up, a little site meta. The autoplay problem with the Video button in the editor toolbar has been corrected, you can now embed videos easily and quickly by clicking the "Insert Video" button and enter the video url in the top box, select "OK" and you're done, give it a try. It also works with many different sources (Youtube, Vimeo, etc.). When I get some time I'll write a FAQ explaining all the various functions of the toolbar. Most of the buttons work by simply highlighting the text that you want wrapped with HTML code and then selecting the appropriate button in the toolbar, it will automatically wrap the text. It's very easy once you get used to it. Open a diary and just play with the buttons and then just cancel the diary or leave the page, that's the best way to learn what each button does.

Public Service Announcement: Only one week left to file your income tax return.

Good morning 99percenters!
A little news and John Prine.

MIT States That Half of All Children May be Autistic by 2025 due to Monsanto

A senior scientist at MIT has declared that we are facing an epidemic of autism that may result in one half of all children being affected by autism in ten years.

Our "free market" society is suffering from a lack of values.

If you look up "values" the dictionary is full of monetary definitions, who cares? Empirical valuation is arbitrary.

The values I am talking about are core beliefs that guide and motivate attitudes and actions.
