About

"is a hands-on 100% democracy (every voice counts) suitable even for large diverse groups -- a blend of liquid democracy, Condorcet, instant runoff, approval voting, internet voting, town meeting style discussions and a spirit of consensus....."

[Consensus...really?!  Do you really believe this?  Someone is in charge and has already made the decisions and is 'pushing' it downward to the rest of the group, trying to get them to accept it. Duh. And I wonder who that Someone is?]

"Democracy"

"It began with a spiritual imaging exercise and informal theoretical discussions on how our society — especially our economic system and governance — might be restructured to work better, to create a more peaceful, just, and environmentally sustainable world. Inspired by dozens of other economic systems and democratic systems, through many surveys, discussions, experiments and detours..... Hundreds of professionals and volunteers have contributed to the design."

From "Wired News" (and while you are there -check out their latest post too on Google and the gov.) - Newspaper Chain's New Business Plan: Copyright Suits "Gibson's vision is to monetize news content on the backend, by scouring the internet for infringing copies of his client's articles, then suing and relying on the harsh penalties in the Copyright Act — up to $150,000 for a single infringement — to compel quick settlements. Since Righthaven's formation in March, the company has filed at least 80 federal lawsuits against website operators and individual bloggers who've re-posted articles from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, his first client."

Bill Ayers IN The News

Wow....what a busy summer for all of us!

Check this out Bill Ayers and a student had a federal lawsuit against the University of Wyoming - It cost the University $86,000.00.

And he has a new book  - To Teach: the Journey, in Comics

Look at this book review ( There's more there to read....yikes!) - "Text and image together succeed when there seems to be a political statement, and the assertions are hardly subtle; it cannot be an accident that Malcolm X books are shown or mentioned three times, or that an image of a raised fist appears as another trifecta.That’s not to say public schools shouldn’t employ alternative reading or study unconventional social theories, but once is a random example; thrice makes an agenda. But is this the agenda of the book?"

I don't know that I would spend ANY money on this book...to verify....nah.

Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Saint John the Baptist, Pray for Us!

John 3:26-30

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him." John answered and said, "No one can receive anything except what has been given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said (that) I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease."
