What Wall Street Protesters have Right http://money.ca.msn.com/investing/michael-brush/what-wall-st-protesters-have-right

We're not in total disagreement, the differences I think relate to analysis of the problem, thereby affecting how the problems are framed in terms of solutions.  It can also be hard to articulate that without clear understanding of current economic situations, and potential near future...

LOL  ;D  Kind of sad though :( I wasn't sure if to post that on the "global economy" thread, but since US Banks are mentioned, and I can also see potential conflicts with Republican/bankers (article you recently posted on), but I suppose there's timing and phasing in of changes.  The CBC...

I know a 100% I’m not the only one to have suffered something ‘traumatic”.  I also know that chances are everyone here has either directly experienced something traumatic or knows someone close to them who has. Even regardless of combat military training, e.g. ...

Apologies, some of these posts of mine, maybe a bit intense.  Humour is not a crime, I've just seen that the possibility among a group, there always potentially one person who does not discern very well, and take on an attitude and act from there. . . kind of why the precept of 'lead by example'...

The following, from: http://pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?id=3966 I thought being law-abiding enough by not carrying illegal weapons.  There really should be accessbile training re: reasonable use of force and self-defense.  I try to think of things as a continuum of possible self-defense...

I'm a statistical anomally, because I've survived 2 major stranger assaults, one in my teens, and one as a young adult.  I probably didn't carry myself well in my teens, body language was shy/avoidant, had taken a lot of hits growing up and didn't fight back.  Last bus. . . followed off the bus...

From the Rolling Stone Article ( http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-gop-war-on-voting-20110830?page=3: )

Is there proof of this?  How many have been charged? I'm familiar a bit with ACORN here (Canada), and from what I know, yes they will help to reduce barriers for people that are poor, for many things, including exercising their democratic right to vote.  If you're poor and don't own a car, and...

Addiction sickness, active addicts do lie and can become attached to their own lies, the story-lines they tell themselves to 'justify using' (the blame others for not having it together) and really they believe them too (and it's reinforced by the 'reward' of the 'high', self-perpetuating...

If no physical injury/illness, why would they prescribe duiladids?  If identified as an 'addict', and if benzos were prescribed for 'stress'-related conditions (anxiety, ptsd, etc), that's normally in limited amounts.  If for stress, short-term, e.g. clonazepams (short-term, 2 weeks worth at a...

Since this is a "Thoughts and Prayers" section, I hope it's okay if I share Bible passage: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (Revised Standard Version) It's just something I recalled when I was reflecting on the event of Jack's loss and the responses to Jack's loss.

When I read Jack's letter to Canadians-- that just made me bawl.  Incredibly thoughtful and compassionate, good-bye.  It still makes me weepy thinking of it.  I've had losses and I'm sure a lot of others here have had losses in which there wasn't that time. I'm a Dipper, not that I agree with...

Not to be discouraging, but there appears to be some structural challenges re: employment with the Federal Government.  This has to do with the current Federal government's directive to save $4 billion a year to reduce the Federal Deficit (and not to raise taxes, corporate or otherwise reducing...
