From Huffington Post - US locking people in jails for being poor (cant pay fines and legal fees)

It is more fun criticizing

#prison, #debt, #US

From Huffington Post - US locking people in jails for being poor (cant pay fines and legal fees)

How can this happen in the land of the free.

I thought that no one can go into servitude or be jailed for debts.  But that is happening in US now.

How?  Why?

Geoffrey R. Stone: Understanding Cause and Effect
How do we know when to abandon a successful policy? At first blush, this might seem a contradiction in terms. Why would one ever abandon a successful policy? But most policies have costs as well as benefits, and at a certain point one might decide that the costs outweigh benefits.

Although the State of the Union was less about progressive principles than was the second inaugural, its tone and substance extended few olive branches to the Republicans. For a while, anyway, Obama is committed to an outside-in strategy.

We live in a time when Catholic priests are an aging and shrinking group, damaged in morale and reputation, overstretched in their monopolization of all sacramental services.

What do you think of the Obama ad vs Romney using Big Bird

Social and political criticisms

From Huffington post

It was clear from last week's week debate that Obama lost.  Comes the retaliation by Pres Obama - an ad of Big Bird assailing the cutting off of funding for PBS which runs sesame street.

What do you think of this change in the trend of the political campaign?  Are the voters school children?

Is it a winning strategy?

Romney to cut off funding for the Big Bird/ Sesame St.

Adding fuel to the fire; French satirical cartoon Charlie Hebdo publishes Mohammad caricatures

Social and political criticisms

                            


 From Huffington Post

This is another incident that may add further Muslim unrest.  The French satirical cartoonist Charlie Hebdo published a satirical cartoon of Prophet Mohammad and even showed him to be naked. The population of Moslems is the highest in France (in Europe)

The French foreign minister Laurent Fabius called the act provocatve;   asked for strengthening of security in French embassies abroad.  This came at the heels of the protest vs the short film Innocence of Muslims in USA.

In November, the Hebdon office was firebombed after doing a similar cartoon satire of the Prophet.

In 2005, at least 50 people were killed worldwide after a Danish cartoonist mocked prophet Obama.

What do you think of these guys?  Arent they crazy?   What is point in provoking he Moslem into further violence?

Does this in a way contribue to world peace?

God bless France and Charlie Hebdo

From Hemet California - anti Muslim Film Promoter Steve Klein Interview

Social and political criticisms

From Huffington Post

Steve Klein, the appointed promoter of alleged anti Muslim film, a 61 year old veteran and insurance agent living in Hemet California drew center stage in the growing protests worldwide vs the video. Klein was adamant in calling them "monsters"

He was alleged contacted by the producer: Bacille Nakoula ( AKA Nakoula Bacille Nakoula), who is Egyptian  Coptic Christian.  Nakoulas views and that of Klein matched.  Klein's son, a staff sergeant  of the medical corps in Afghanistan was injured in a suicide bomb attack for which the son was awarded Purple Heart and Bronze star for valor.  Bacille has disappeared apparently in hiding.

The film when shown in California did not have single viewer.

What does Steve get out of this?   When he dies, he hopes his granchildren will be  free from these monsters.

Is he member of a hate group?

Can he escape the wrath of Muslims?

Is the film good for religious unity?
