Shock Doctrine in Reverse: A Week of Setbacks, A Window of Opportunity
What a week. Call it the Shock Doctrine in reverse: The Massachusetts election and yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling may force the Democrats to move to the left to ensure their political survival.

The court’s conservative majority has paved the way for corporations to use their vast treasuries to overwhelm elections and intimidate elected officials into doing their bidding.
This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.

This is not a pitch :) but for anyone interested, there is an online Bible and here, you can access just about any verse or chapter or ‘book’ …Thought you might be interested. It certainly took a lot of work to do this, and it really takes the headache away for those who search for certain passages. – Luc Majno |
