Really interesting response to a HP speech that was made in the wake of 9-11.
In that speech the speaker was referring to the Caliphate as a meritocracy.
I’d have to say I largely disagree with the speaker, and the information provided in the link above is fantastic.

Anyone get a badge number on this guy? With that many cameras, someone must have it.UC Davis police officer pepper sprays sitting students because, well, just because.
Think that’s %$#ing horrible? The video’s worse.
Via John Aravosis at AmericaBlog:
I’m sorry, this has gone too far. This has happened in police department after police department, and it has gone too far. Our police look like the goons in Russia and China. Please watch this video and send it to everyone you know. This has gone too far.
This makes me sick to my stomach.
OH GOD I WANT TO REBLOG THIS SEVEN HUNDRED TIMES.

I love this - the quote of the century! Possibly… maybe… up there without a doubt
Oh blimey - Really? Totally not surprised -.-
I’d like to say that this supports my theory that bank replacement would have been better.. but I honestly cannot say that new banks wouldn’t have behaved the same way… but…
COME ON! SOMEONE! SOMEWHERE! SAY THAT UNTIL THEY HAVE REPAID THE BAILOUTS THAT THEY CANNOT STATE PROFIT! If you are going to reject risk-reward, then you must pay the charity of governments back - all that money could go to help bailout greece! Hell, look, they could have cleared the bailout since they had been granted it!!!
“We live in a country where Wall Street’s recklessness caused tens of millions to struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads, and the rest of us to strive mightily simply to maintain our standard of living without falling into poverty.

It only takes 20 minutes for the NYT to shift the blame.
After allowing them onto the bridge, police cut off and arrested dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters.became
In a tense showdown over the East River, police arrested hundreds of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators after they marched onto the bridge’s Brooklyn=bound roadway.Don’t let this simply vanish, people. Don’t let them get away with this. Force the NYT to own this, and accept responsibility for lying to their readers, to protect the 1%.
They’re terrified of us.
They know that we’re coming for them.
This is only the beginning.
