Most Big Corporations Don't Mind Funding GOP Racism And Homophobia-- As Long As They Get Their Tax Breaks And Special Favors... And Congress Refuses To Call It Bribery
A few days ago, the *NY Times* published an essay by Andrew Sorkin, A Company Backs a Cause. It Funds a Politician Who Doesn’t. What Gives? He wrote that "At a time when Corporate America is speaking up on some of the most important issues of our time, there is a contradiction between companies’ words today and the role they played in helping create the moment we find ourselves in. An examination of political spending over the past decade shows how those companies-- and dozens of other Fortune 500 corporations-- quietly funded political efforts that are antithetical to their publi... more »

Free Download: Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, “On Death and Dying”
“Grief may be a thing we all have in common but it looks different on everyone. It isn’t just death we have to grieve. It’s life, it’s loss, it’s change. And then we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, it has to hurt so bad. The thing we gotta try to remember is that it can turn on a dime. That’s how you stay alive when it hurts so much you can’t breathe. That’s how you survive. By remembering that one day somehow, impossibly, it won’t feel this way. It wont hurt this much. Grief comes in its own time for everyone in its own way. So the best we can do, the best anyone can d... more »
"Burnout"
*"Burnout"* by Charles Hugh Smith "At least once a year, I completely burn out: exhausted, I no longer have the energy or will to care about anything but the bare minimum for survival. Everything not essential for survival gets jettisoned or set aside. This goes with the territory if you're trying to accomplish a lot of things that are intrinsically complex and open-ended - for example, running a business, being a parent, juggling college, work, family, community commitments, etc. I am confident many if not most of you have experienced burnout due to being overwhelmed by open-ende... more »

A fun hour at the gun shop
I'm preparing most of my shotguns for sale at present. Due to my disabling back injury in 2004, which left me with a fused spine and nerve damage, I haven't used them very much since then. As I get older and bits and pieces start to get stiffer and less mobile, adding to the injury complications, the heavy recoil of a shotgun has become just too much of a good thing . . . so it's time for them to go. (The fact that shotguns appear to be fetching good prices at present is an added incentive.) As part of the cleanup process, I inventoried my shotgun ammunition. I was pleasantly s... more »
