  • Moore’s argument compels these courts to grapple with the very substantial body of law that defines corporations and their powers as creations of the states. The Alitos and Thomases will doubtless find a way, however implausible, to wriggle around that, but even if the usual suspects on the federal bench proceed in customary pro-business lockstep, actions like Hawaii’s will fuel in many ways the growing populist and popular revolt against oligarchy and corporatocracy.

    We know that we have these scumbag “justices” and yet they persist










  • I’m out of the loop now, but when I was younger there was a weird divide between the youth/young adult stuff, and adult.

    The adult stuff was a lot of traditional “sit and listen to a talk”.

    The youth was a lot more hand on, interactive. “Let’s start a bonfire, write down our fears, and throw them into it”. “We got people from the community to teach how to make instruments out of junk”.

    I really liked it when I was younger, and met a lot of kids who were very cool.

    Maybe I should see what’s on offer around here. I don’t want to go to a “service” but I miss the community sometimes.



  • There’s some broken nonsense in conservative world views.

    Perhaps chief among them (no pun intended) is the idea that hierarchy is good and natural and inevitable. Flowing from that there’s the idea that different rules apply to different people. And the famous “in groups to protect, out groups to bind” thing.

    So things like welfare are abhorrent to them. That’s messing with the hierarchy! Some people need to be down in the gutter. Without the underclass, then everything falls apart and all their auffering was for nothing, and their sense of self can’t handle that.
