Why is it that we must choose an economic system that undermines the most decent aspects of our nature and strengthens the most inhuman? Because, we’re told, that’s just the way people are. What evidence is there of that? Look around, we’re told, at how people behave. Everywhere we look, we see greed and the pursuit of self-interest. So, the proof that these greedy, self-interested aspects of our nature are dominant is that, when forced into a system that rewards greed and self-interested behavior, people often act that way. Doesn’t that seem just a bit circular?

Fantastic info - this is why we should focus on income inequity.
ACTA in a Nutshell –
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Reverse the colours on that image and its great for printouts as it is!
I do a lot of pamfletting around town, mostly on the transport system. For buses and metro small ones, to be left on casual empty seats on the go.
We have to educate eachother!
Stop SOPA, PIPA, and OPEN!
Stand with me and the countless others, fellow internet users, as we say no to limitations and corporatism this March. I encourage EVERYONE to partake in Black March. For all who do, you have my thanks.
how does fighting the monopolistic desires of major telecomm corporations constitute fighting “communism”?
Fixed it.
i mean, people throw that word around a lot. we don’t have that. Fascist Italy had that.
We don’t have what? Corporatism? I think the term is appropriate.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation moved against a group of suspected online pirates Thursday, targeting the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com a day after Washington lawmakers were besieged by complaints about legislation designed to crack down on the online sharing of pirated copies of music, movies and other material, people familiar with the matter said.
Investigators said there was no connection between arrests in their two-year investigation and the political firestorm that erupted this week over a pending vote on the Stop Online Piracy Act.
This is a big deal, and even if it’s not related to SOPA, the timing certainly does a lot to put it on the minds of those worried about the law.
I wonder if they thought SOPA would act as a distraction or a confusing element for this? If they did then it hasn’t worked since it’s become big internet news incredibly fast. Beyond the fact that it will inherently make news to every single person that tries to use the site, inlcuding me, it was cutoff midway through a download.

On Saturday (3rd) in Athens a small contingent of anarchists went into a chain supermarket store and filled trolleys with food and other essentials. They breezed past the checkout without so much as a glance and took the goods to a nearby open market in Exarcheia (Athens’s anarcho epicentre).
There they redistributed the basics to citizens, mainly pensioners. Earlier that day the group had hung banners stating “Their riches, our blood” and “Expropriation of capital everywhere”. Indymedia Athens reports that overall the response was positive apart from a few disgruntled supermarkets employees that take their job too seriously, who bemoaned, “Shame on you” as the trolleys strolled past.
As if New Yorkers need to be told not to do that. I swear I live in the one the most unfriendly cities in the world…
That is something you would put up as sarcastic street art, we have moved beyond self parody.
Is that profile picture of you? If you are the true meaning of beautiful!
That picture is taken from the ongoing dramatization of my life starring Brian Blessed and Richard O’Brien as me in different times in my life, they each spend 12 years in makeup for each shot in the film and it is expected to be completed before the heat death of the universe, barring any difficulties.
