Take a knee. This time, kneeling is a demonstration of respect, quiet dignity, and loss, for the people the flag represents. It shows strength through vulnerability. Kneel for Peace.

Gender Neutral Pronouns: Please be careful which word you pick.
Everyone has the right to choose a word as a name to help define themselves. Please be careful which word you pick. Don't pick words like "garbage", "object", "tool", "resource", "victim". or "Hitler". The weight of prior associations may keep you down. Trying to change "Hitler" to define "goodness" may require far too much struggle, time, and blood, to be worth it. Choose a less tangled word or create one that helps point to your individuality, uniqueness, or common humanity.Everyone has the right to choose a word as a name to help define themselves. Please be careful which word you pick.
"They" as a singular pronoun bothers me because it's plural, too ambiguous for clear writing, and because it's too close to "Them". Us & Them. Alien.
GenNeutral Suggestion: "Huma" as in "Human." No adjustments required, except adding a possessive apostrophe and an S.
Personally, I associate the word Huma with the divine paladin from the Dragonlance fantasy series. A quick search showed that it also has this meaning:
There's also the possibility of going back to the future by leaning on the Bard's English for a respectful, classically dramatic pronoun. We could replace the confusing ambiguity of They/Them/Their with the old word for "You", Thee/Thou/Thine. Individual, gender neutral, and singular, yet with a hint of multiplicity. "I think thee is friendly but thine wit is sharp. Have you met thou?"Huma is a Muslim baby Girl name, it is an Arabic originated name. Huma name meaning is Daughter Of King Bahman And Mother Of Darab and the lucky number associated with Huma is 1.

The Great Minimum Wage Disaster
Ever hear of the Great Minimum Wage Disaster where all small and large businesses collapsed bringing down the economy and society?
We get warned about it every time we consider raising the minimum wage by a penny.
Never happened.
Raising the wage does increase business costs and raise prices. However, the wage is concentrated and price increases spread out. They don't rise equally. Pouring water into a bucket fills it quickly. Pouring the same amount into the ocean has no observable effect. A successful business has far more customers than employees, or each product pays for several employees. The weight gets spread out, like taxes where everyone chips in a little to achieve a lot for the most number of people. Small pain generates great benefit. Where it isn't spread because the value of the product is concentrated, the consumer can generally afford it. If you can afford a jet, few more thousand dollars shouldn't be a problem.
A a rough example, a restaurant that raises its wages by 1 dollar might have to raise each meal by 10 cents. Hardly killer inflation that drives away customers and kills jobs. The employees can even afford the increase.
Since first established, the minimum wage has been raised many times, in many places and economic conditions. Society and business had yet to collapse.
In fact, our living standard has risen.
But, far better than a minimum wage is a minimum income. Then you wouldn't need a minimum wage.

Militarized Society
A hierarchy is a chain of urgency, importance, or communication, a
system of efficient control.
The first militarized hierarchy likely formed when we started
building large, permanent, immobile settlements. If threatened they couldn’t be easily mood or
rebuilt. They needed defense. Those who controlled the weapons and warriors
became the protectors and leaders, the rest of society organizing to support
them out of mutual need, the common good. Inevitably the protectors became
oppressors and then conquerors causing other societies to militarize.
Slaves were originally taken in conquest or sentenced for
crimes. They weren’t only labour, but a perfect visual reminder of the
inhumanity of the enemy and the fate of the disobedient. Later it expanded into
use as payment for debts of honour or money. Then capitalism got hold of it.
There are more slaves, in the traditional sense, in the world today than in any
other time in history. The human trade is booming and completely free of
economic barriers. Slavery has always been good for the economy and profits.
A social hierarchy is basically divided into levels and sub-levels of slavery under one master or a few. You do what you are told. You
become conditioned to obey commands without thought. Militaries need to
dehumanize recruits in order to build a coordinated killing machine willing to die
when ordered. You always sacrifice the
lowest rank first. Especially when enforcing control. You demonstrate that
weakness and disobedience will not be tolerated, that the lower ranks are
disposable. This makes everyone feel
stronger and weaker at the same time, so they prove which on those below.
Hierarchy helped kill the attempts at communism. Instead of levelling the hierarchy, they squashed it down into two or three levels with
party leaders at the top, party members and enforcement below and everyone else
at the bottom. Korea has basically gone feudal with its divine leader.
Command and punishment flow down a hierarchy, privilege and
wealth up. everyone is turned on
everyone else. Levels cluster for defence and stratify within themselves. Your
level becomes your fate, a deserved one.
Order is maintained by dangling the hope that if you are lucky enough, attractive
enough, talented enough, or amusing enough, those above will let you “pass”
among their glory. The fight for the gold ticket begins. It perpetuates the
idea that only the most special and best of people reach the top. That they all
got there on their own from the bottom without climbing over, stepping on,
holding back, betraying, or being supported by any of the people below. Their victory can be ours.
If you have to rely on exception qualities, talents, or luck
to move, you likely won’t be able to manage it. Mobility requires self-control,
the power to move, and no restraints. Individualistic hierarchy takes these
away by focusing it at the top of the pyramid.
A military needs an enemy to justify its existence and
control. If it can’t find an external one, it looks inward and downward. The
lowest ranks are expendable. Modern
liberal democracy is an attempt to demilitarize and break the hierarchy. That
makes democracy the enemy, and the people.
That’s what we’re up against, an ancient system actively fighting
egalitarianism and community while actively championing war, weapons, oppression, dehumanization, torture, nationalism,
and privilege. A system based on paranoia,
brutality, and tyranny. A system
bleeding us dry, with destruction its main purpose. We’re just meat for the dehumanizing privilege
machine.
If we obey.
We need to keep the military in its proper place as honorable protectors and demilitarize the rest of society. We're not an army except in times of declared war like WWII. Then everyone is recruited. We need to take a military's violent purpose and strict ranks out of our social structure, institutions, organizations, and laws. Governments, religions, schools, businesses, and societies should not be based on a military hierarchy, strategies, tactics, or philosophies. Designed as tools for the work of improving of the common good, none should be used as tools of war. Tools used to protect the hierarchy of privilege.
Their roots are healthy, but the growth has been forced into a detrimental shape by the gardeners. They aren't inherently bad, but the purpose for which they have been organized is. Efficient control through fear and conditioning.
It is time we unite to protect ourselves from the parents who would keep us children, orphans without support, obedient.
Look to Syria. The butcher Assad would rather rule a graveyard than surrender his privilege. His institutionalized torture of children turn a peaceful revolution into a bloodbath that is spreading misery around the world. A divided opposition allowed him to dig in an hold on until a fellow criminal tyrant, Putin, came to his aid. He would have been gone long ago, if the Russian Godfather hadn't given him protection on the "Security" Council. Both are criminal. Assad's war crimes and crimes against humanity are just more blatant. Putin has a modicum of subtlety. He was a spy before he became a gangster, a leader of organized crime. Russia is his major in-progress crime, assault and robbery, the Russian people the victims.
Most crimes in society are actually crimes of war, the Privilege War. Time to end it.
We are responsible for what we earn or take. We are not responsible for what we are given, just what we do with it. We don't choose what we are, but we do choose who we are and what we want to become. We can help shape the future or we can remain trapped by the past. Now is the time to choose. Otherwise, the decision gets made for you and you have no choice.
Trade and markets are economic tools. They shouldn't be more free than us.
We aren't an army, military or economic. We are a civilization.
Over time, the perception of labourers as part of enterprises declines into dehumanizing stratification with the majority viewed as expensive abstract data instead of essential participants. At first all are equal partners, then inequality arises in partnership until most become servants, then beasts of burden, robots, cogs, and then numbers. This is the structure of corporations and the foundation militarized society.
Militarized hierarchy protected early civilization but it is keeping it from maturing.
Time to grow up.

You Can't Give 110%
 |
| Lindsay at Fit Mix Mom. |
You don't know what your own limitations truly are until you face them. Bravery is staring them in the eye. Stupidity is believing they will blink. If you stare too long, you will get sucker-punched.
The Zombie Economy
 |
| Zombie Money 20 is a drawing by Kevin Boatright which was uploaded on June 29th, 2014 |
Labour, defined by time and effort, is valuable. Barter enables the direct exchange of the physical products of labour. Currency is a medium to allow labour's value to be stored and exchanged when direct products aren't possible or desirable. Rarity doesn't create value, it increases the labour involved.
Labour is money. Labour is capital. Workers are capital not costs resources or costs. The labour required to produce a product determines its true value. This is true even if the labour is the planet's.
Over time, the perception of labourers as part of enterprises declines into dehumanizing stratification with the majority viewed as expensive abstract data instead of essential participants. At first all are equal partners, then inequality arises in partnership until most become servants, then beasts of burden, robots, cogs, and then numbers. This is the structure of corporations and the foundation militarized society.
Great wealth is created by hoarding other people's labour, damming the flow of currency and raising the high water mark, drowning those below it. This raises inflation far swifter than raising the minimum wage and faster than the the minimum wage can keep up. Great wealth expands poverty not the real economy. Much of our growth since the 1980s has been an illusion.
Banks being able to loan many times more money than they have as a resource, compound interest , and other tricks and schemes of the financial sector create currency without equivalent labour and based on no actual resource, just money. These tricks only make it seem like the economy isn't a zero-sum game. Every resource, as well as labour, is finite. Value gets altered in form but not quantity. Traded not expanded. Labour however, does increase as our population does. Not infinite but with open potential. That means that capital has open potential and can potential fuel open-ended growth. Reagan's Neoliberalism was built on smoke and mirrors for the purpose of fooling the Soviets into defeating themselves through economic burnout. But the show still goes on and the world is paying. Their illusion is generating a nightmare.
Energy is the ability to do work. It is life. Labour is energy is action. Currency without energy turns the financial system into a zombie plague creating a zombie economy growing by devouring the living. Eventually the hoard will turn on those who believe themselves its masters.
It almost happened in 2008, prevented only by a sacrifice of nations.
Underemployed, underpaid, unpaid, and unreal, labour is draining strength from the economy. Don't work for free.
Fair-use and free-trade without compassion is exploitation. The world needs fair trade.
The 0.1% and 1% control 50% world wealth. They make up far more than 50% of the "investment" that every government is desperate to attract. They are the financial markets. The neoliberal financial growth model is a tyrannical disaster. For-profit banking, especially investment banking, draws currency from the system into the hands of their shareholders, a small number of investors who often hold shares in "competing" institutions. No wonder that economic gains of the growth of the past thirty years have not only failed to "trickle down", but have actually gushed upward. No wonder banks are so happy to provide tax-havens.
Our present method of globalization is creating a world Profitocracy. Limited liability equals zero responsibility. All professional criminals are just doing their jobs and maximizing profit for their investment. Rights and lives trump trade. Slaves and the dead don't buy or sell. They have been reduced to bodies without vital humanity although both may appear healthy or better-off.
False scarcity created by artificial production limits, planned obsolescence, refusal to sell parts for repairs, making repair too costly, and concentrated market-share (monopoly, duopoly, tripoly , etc.), is a waste of labour and resources of all types. Products should be good no disposable. It creates false demand, corrupting the economy. worse than speculation, it is determinism. It devalues labour and everything rippling from it.
The economy is based on an addiction to waste driven by a unquenchable appetite that nourishes nothing. We are becoming the Working Dead, shuffling along with the pack and totally ignorant of one another, wanting only a taste of the life of those that our labour sustains. Those who appear human but castoff any among them that we actually touch. If we get too close, gather nearby in too large a group, or shuffle through their safe-zones, they blow our heads off.

It's The Economists, Stupid
(Kevin Coombs/Reuters)
Interest rates. Unemployment. GDP. Markets. Austerity measures. Economists tell us what we, as societies, can and can't afford. But how do they decide? What values are at play? IDEAS producer Mary O'Connell speaks with two economists about how modern mantras on the economy limit our choices and shut down civic debate. **This episode first aired September 9, 2015.
Participants in this episode:
- Dr. Julie Nelson, Department Chair and Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Boston.
- Dr. Richard Denniss, Chief Economist, The Australia Institute, Canberra City, Australia.
As a group, economists don't have a great track record: they largely failed to predict the oil crisis of the 1970's, the dot-com bubble, the U.S. housing collapse. Even the O.E.C.D. -- the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development -- admits its forecasts have been way off. One of its staffers even conceded: "maybe we suffer from group think". Little wonder that economics has been known as "the dismal science" since the 19th century.
John Kenneth Galbraith once explained that, "Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment… for economists". However, there are deeper, more serious fissures. Economists explain how the turbulence of housing markets, mortgage rates, inflation and income inequality affect us all. But who are they speaking to and whom do they represent?
Julie Nelson
Feminist economist Julie Nelson believes most economists no longer represent the public good because they're operating out of self-importance and greed. "You can find economists shilling for all kinds of groups. If they're not consciously shilling, they're incredibly careerist." The University of Massachusetts Department Chair and Economics professor thinks the media obsession with the state of financial markets doesn't tell us how we're doing as a society. "Maybe we should be asking, who's eating and who's not." Richard Denniss concurs. He's Chief Economist for the independent think tank, The Australia Institute, and calls himself a "whistle-blower economist". He believes we've come to view markets as gods. "The market does this, the market does that… as if it's something magical. It's really just a small group of people with a lot of money who are gambling on making more."
Richard Denniss
Richard Denniss and Julie Nelson believe current economic group think produces a mantra that supports cutting taxes, reducing deficits, massive down-sizing, bloated CEO salaries, and "shrinking social programs till they scream". Julie Nelson concludes these trends not only generate more poverty; they hollow out the middle-class, and that's bad for capitalism. She says: "this was figured out a long time ago. Henry Ford wanted to pay a wage to his workers that would allow them to buy the kinds of cars they were making. And that makes a whole lot of sense. If you want a market for your product, you have to have people who can afford to buy that product. But that basic logic is drowned out by all the austerity rhetoric that we're hearing from industry and government these days".

From BBC Radio:
Future Tense
Employment in the era of exploitation
The idea of work takes on a whole new dimension when there’s no promise of payment.
About two thirds of Australia’s workforce are regularly expected to do unpaid overtime. And the value of that to employers, according to the Australia Institute, is around $128 billion a year.
Then there’s the growth in unpaid ‘internships’ and 'freelance projects'.
Exploiting employees has always been an issue, but in a world of growing inequality, employers are now doing it on an industrial scale – and those in the creative sector are among the most disadvantaged.
Listen in pop-out playerGlobalisation Backlash?
The impact of globalisation has been very much in the spotlight with the wave of populist rhetoric of late. We heard it in Britain with the Brexit referendum to leave the EU, and now with the arguments of US presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who thinks recent trade deals with China, Latin America and beyond have short-changed American workers. Until the global financial crisis of 2009, free trade seemed like an ambition everyone believed in. Today - not so much. Currency manipulation, tariffs and state support - they all mean that one person's free trade is another person's rip off. Is globalisation now in retreat? Should it and can it, be abandoned? And what is globalisation anyway?
The BBC's Ed Butler is joined by Jeffrey Sachs, US economist and UN adviser based at Columbia University, Michael Stumo, Head of the Coalition for a Prosperous America, which opposes many of his country's recent trade deals, and professor Pankaj Ghemawat, from the Stern School of Business.

On the Shores of Depression
 |
| Alone in the dark: Coast of Atlantic, Cape Town, South Africa – By Pouria Hadjibagheri |
If you experience depression as a dark, bottomless pool that sucks you down you only have a partial idea of the full-blown disorder. This is a depressed mood.
Major depressive disorder is living beside an invisible, silent ocean that pounds the shore without warning sucking you into a turbulent abyss. Carried helpless to places you would never go, tumbling without an idea of up, you struggle for control, for breath, for thought. Everything is depressed.
Then it withdraws, leaving you gasping, grateful and terrified. It may hit again at any second or not for years. Sometimes it dumps you ashore and vanishes, relief elates you until you learn that the wave was building into a tsunami.
It is powerful, relentless, and deadly. It is the depression of life, drowning of the will to live beneath the rumble of the void.
Alberta Doctors Make Me Gag
It's the Hippocratic Oath not the Hypocritical Oath. The majority of Alberta doctors are absolute hypocrites. They won't even consider medical marijuana but Alberta has the highest level of opioid prescription in Canada.
They claim to fear the unknown dangers of marijuana while eagerly giving out increasingly powerful forms of synthetic opium with their known addiction and common fatal overdoses. When inhaled properly (edibles are changed by the liver and are a different animal) a marijuana overdose produces a deep sleep followed by a period of fatigue. You have to smoke bales of the stuff all at once to die. And most who use it don't become addicted and adjusted to it so that increasingly powerful forms are required. The normal side effects are distraction, hunger, and a tendency to babble a bit.
Alberta doctors really fear being labeled as drug dealers when they already are opium pushers on a major scale. Of course, because you can't patent the plant or charge thousands of dollars per dose, marijuana producers can't "educate" doctors over expensive dinners or at luxurious vacation "conferences".
If they could, Alberta doctors would be hawking it. You can bet on it.
You disgust me.
First, do no harm. Do not use addictive painkillers long term or long enough to cause addiction and then cut them off. Stop working to worsen the damage of the War on Drugs. Try acting like medics and you may recall how to be physicians.
Compassionate drugs help the patient hold on and stand up, if possible. They don't destroy the patient's humanity. It's the same for those who prescribe them.
Update: For those who have trouble getting medicine in Alberta, these links may help.

Opinion: media coverage is making the opioid crisis worse
Listen 9:02
Bags of fentanyl mixed with caffeine, seized by Calgary police. (CBC)
It's hard to read about opioids like fentanyl these days, and not get a sense of disaster.more stories from this episode
In Ontario, the Minister of Health recently said Canada is facing a "public health crisis" and in April, officials in B.C. declared a public health emergency after a spike in fentanyl related deaths. In that province, nearly 500 people have died of fentanyl overdoses between January and August.
While Dan Werb concedes public health officials are dealing with a serious problem, he argues the media needs to do better when they cover opioids.
Werb, the Director of the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy, says the reality of drug use and addiction doesn't match up with the impression the public can get when reading media coverage.
He argues journalists often fail to provide context around fentanyl — and it's context he argues is important not only to increase public understanding but to help shape policy.
The role of the media here is to provide the context — not only report on what the situation is now, but to provide some context. -Dan Werb
Dan Werb, director of Toronto's International Centre for Science in Drug Policy. (provided by Dan Werb)
"The reality is that one of the key drivers of the opioid crisis was the over-prescribing of pharmaceutical drugs like Oxycontin. That in turn lead to high levels of opioid dependence, addiction, and overdose," he says.
Werb says, in response, the media perpetuated the notion that Oxycontin was the problem, the government reacted, Oxycontin was pulled from the market, and the supply was throttled.
But drug markets are complicated, according to Werb, and the notion that a supply line can be simply cut off without something else emerging to take its place is naive.
When we closed the tap, and when we restricted the supply of Oxycontin and Percocet, we saw was an expansion of use of these other drugs that are much more dangerous like street fentanyl and carfentanil. - Dan WerbIn Werb's view, the most important angle on drug use and addiction in Canada is not an investigation of which drug is being consumed, but identifying the motivation behind substance use disorders in the first place.
