		<description><![CDATA[First They Came .... poem by Martin Niemöller

&quot;In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn&#039;t speak up because I wasn&#039;t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn&#039;t speak up because I wasn&#039;t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn&#039;t speak up because I wasn&#039;t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn&#039;t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[This whole period we are in now, reminds me of about 1965-1966...the underground was &quot;stirring&quot;...&quot;turn on...tune in and drop out&quot;...was just coming into vogue... the real upheaval came over the following 3 or so years...and here we are again...only this time...they are all set up and ready for the dissenters...we have now seen the beginnings last year of &quot;populus uprising&quot;...this will only increase as time moves forward.

Obama&#039;s new legislation will silence dissenters and try to stem the tide of protest by labelling anyone who they decide to target as a &quot;belligerent&quot; to the State...due process of law... will of course, be suspended:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2074576/President-Obama-signs-law-detain-terror-suspects-indefinitely.html

It is time to get the Boomers off their asses and help the kids in the streets!! After all...we have been through this before over different issues...where are the Boomers right now?....where are the old Rock Stars and all those who gained fabulous wealth and fame during the 60&#039;s from the &quot;youth movement&quot;?...all sitting silently on their asses, while the world burns down around us...that&#039;s where...we can make a difference...it is not &quot;too late&quot;...we just have to organize and get the Boomers active...they are the largest demographic in the developed Western World...and they have to starting &quot;voting with their wallets&quot; through boycotts in conjunction with the ballot box...try getting a few million Boomers off their behinds and into the streets and we&#039;ll see how long &quot; politics and business as usual&quot; carries on.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, maybe something more nefarious is coming. When people have no money or power in government, slavery is the next thing. Reduce their education, opportunity and voice or ability to complain and you wonder why the only think between us the people and the abyss is a president trying to keep this maddening whole going for another 4 years. My passport is ready if a republican is back in  power....anywhere but here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Metzner, I want to tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your regular blog postings. They always seem to hit the spot.
   This video is hilarious and entertaining. All the while I was laughing, it was helping me to pull together my various impressions of cognitive dissonance and skeptical cringe into a coherent picture of where we stand. Thanks so much!  Laurie Warner, MA, Ventura County]]></description>
