Kucinich: The Best Protection we have is the Truth.
Here’s the thing. We’re not going to pull out of this economic slump/depression without rebuilding our industrial capacity. Wal-mart jobs are all well and good for what they are. Those type of jobs don’t make things. We know this (well, the financiers don’t seem to know this).
That it’s part of our national economic security goes without saying. I’m supporting HR 444. It’s time we look at our manufacturing base and say how important it is.
As far as the torture pics go, of co use they should be released. Rep. Kucinich is right in saying that the best protection we have is the truth. Now, will this possible investigation into torture bring down some Dems as well as Repukes? If the Dems knew and supported the torture, you bet they should be brought down.

If we don't change our ways soon...
A new report by the Royal Society, chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston warns that world population must be stabilized and consumption in wealthy nations must be reduced or the entire planet is in big trouble. As the report reads: "The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption... or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future."This is the same warning that President Jimmy Carter gave Americans back in the 1970's - but it was ignored when Ronald Reagan came to power with a "more positive" message basically telling Americans we can do whatever we want. And then after 9/11 - Bush told us all we should go shopping and consume ever more.And now with corporations calling the shots in Washington - long-term sustainability of the planet takes a back seat to short-term profits. If we don't change our ways soon - and embrace clean, alternative energy and educate women around the plant - then we all could be headed for a rough century.-Thom(Is there any chance we will learn in time?

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
