A Taunton, Massachusetts woman killed herself when she learned that the bank was going to foreclose her home loan. She left a note to her family to use her life insurance to pay off their loan. This happened in July 2008. As the housing mortgage crisis worsens and more people lose their jobs, I fear stories like this may become all too frequent on the evening news.

Result of Bush’s economic policy. Hunger In America From Science News, October 28, 2005 Hunger In America Rises By 43 Percent Over Last 5 Years The USDA report, Household Food Security in the United States, 2004, says that 38.2 million Americans live in households that suffer directly from hunger and food insecurity, including nearly 14 million children. That figure is up from 31 million Americans in 1999. Dr. J. Larry Brown, an authority on hunger, stated the following: “With this astonishing level of food deprivation in America,” Brown concluded, “we need President Bush to step up to the plate. If he now asks Congress to cut federal food programs, hunger will increase even further. We need the moral leadership to stem this crisis.” Full Text of the Article Hunger In America 2007 Statistics LIMITED EDITION PRINTS CLICK HERE

The economic downturn continues to make itself apparent. Couldn’t resist to take a few images of these Mannequinns that are now no longer “employed”, as the store is closing its doors. Couldn’t resist thinking about how Von McKnelly would have enjoyed stumbling upon this scene, and what images he would have taken. Captured at Dilliards, in Chesapeake, VA.

Background Information: / A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC),or aerogenerator. This article discusses electric power generation machinery. Windmill discusses machines used for grain-grinding, water pumping, etc. The article on wind power describes turbine placement, economics and public concerns. The wind energy section of that article describes the distribution of wind energy over time, and how that affects wind-turbine design. See environmental concerns with electricity generation for discussion of environmental problems with wind-energy production.

Immigration / MCN:C82-QGC1-2213 From Latina Lista Website: Immigrant detention is called “detention” because detainees are not being held for criminal charges. Immigrants are the only group of people in the United States that are routinely held in jail for civil offenses. Paradoxically, while immigrant detainees are held for lesser offenses, they can be held indefinitely, and they do not have the same legal protections, such as the right to free legal counsel, as people who have been charged with crimes.

Who was the real Einstein? After World War II, enmity between the former allies became a very serious issue for people with international résumés. To make things worse, during the first days of McCarthyism Einstein was writing about a single world government; it was at this time that he wrote, “I do not know how the third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth—rocks!” In a 1949 Monthly Review article entitled “Why Socialism?” Albert Einstein described a chaotic capitalist society, a source of evil to be overcome, as the “predatory phase of human development” (Einstein 1949). (footnotes omitted) “These,” he said gravely, “are unpleasant facts; I know it. But then most historical facts are unpleasant.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (1932) / MCN: C383D-EE8BA-914F9 FEATURED by C.O.R.E.

House Republicans voted in a block against the economic stimulus package that will provide jobs for millions of Americans. The measure passed since the Democratic Party holds a majority of seats in the House. The NO vote clearly demonstrates the Republican economic philosophy. If it helps big business and banks the answer is YES YES YES. But working people? Small business? Women? Minorities? NO NO NO money for you!

Bernard Leon Madoff (29 de abril de 1938) fue el presidente de una firma de inversión que lleva su nombre y que él fundó en 1960. Ésta fue una de las más importantes en Wall Street. Madoff también fue una de las principales figuras de la filantropía judía[cita requerida]. En diciembre de 2008 Madoff fue detenido por la FBI y acusado de fraude. El juez federal Louis L. Stanton ha congelado los activos de Madoff. El presunto fraude puede alcanzar los 50.000 millones de dólares, lo que lo convertiría en el mayor fraude llevado a cabo por una sola persona. —-—-—-—-—— Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff (born April 29, 1938 in New York City) is an American businessman and former chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange. He founded the Wall Street firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in 1960 and was its chairman until December 11, 2008, when he was charged with perpetrating what may be the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person.

“The only benefit to America in maintaining prohibition [on drugs] is the psychic comfort we derive from having a permanent scapegoat.
