It's Rather Important

Just wants people to not be greedy or ignorant. Is that too much to ask?

Wait… aren’t these the same people who were once screaming “CHANGE NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATE!” during the 1960s, oh, and now, with Occupy?

I’m gonna go with no.  They’re probably different people.  Not everyone you disagree with shares the exact same views.  For one thing, significant portions of both Occupy and Obama’s constituency are fairly young, so they weren’t around in the 60’s…

lol but why would the government legalize something natural that we’re born with receptors in our brain for that could bring us great amounts of revenue if taxed to help fund schools and take care of those in need? that would be a sign of the government actually giving a fuck about the well-being of the american people 

Pharmaceutical lobby, prison lobby, ignorance, take your pick of the reasons for keeping it illegal.

Corporations want to make it so that an automotive worker can not, on a year’s pay, afford the very product he labors 12 hours a day to make.

WikiLeaks: U.S. troops Handcuffed Children and Shot Them in the Head

anticapitalist:

According to a diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks, U.S. troops willfully massacred an Iraqi family in the town of Ishaqi in 2006, handcuffing and then shooting 11 people in the head including a woman in her 70′s and five children ages five and under.

McClatchy is reporting that the soldiers then called in an air strike on the house to cover up evidence of the killings.

This account differs sharply from an official version of the 2006 incident, which indicated that coalition forces captured an al Qaeda in Iraq operative in the house, which was destroyed in a firefight. The WikiLeaks cable, however, corroborates accounts by Ishaqi townspeople and includes questions about the incident by Philip Alston, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.

The cable is dated twelve days after the incident, which took place March 15, 2006. In it, Alston says that autopsies performed in Tikrit on bodies pulled from the wreckage of the farmhouse indicated that all of the dead had been handcuffed and shot in the head.

If true, this action, although not as egregious as the My Lai massacre of March 16, 1968, wherein 347-504 unarmed civilians were shot to death by U.S. forces during the Vietnam conflict, still speaks volumes about war and the atrocities committed for war’s sake.
