How economies work – and don't
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat – or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off – a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.
a way to redirect all the money we spend on the nature we use – trillions of dollars annually. We can't pay the Creator of sites and resources and are mistaken to pay their owners this biggest stream in our economy. Instead, as owners we should pay our neighbors for respecting our claims to land. Owners could pay in land dues to the public treasury, a la Sydney Australia's land tax, and residents could get back a "rent" dividend, a la Alaska's oil dividend. We'd pay for owning sites, resources, EM spectrum, or emitting pollutants into the ecosphere, then get a fair share of the recovered revenue. The economy would finally have a thermostat, the dividend. When it's small, people would work more; when it's big, they'd work less. Sharing Earth's worth, we could jettison counterproductive taxes and addictive subsidies. Prices would become precise; things like sprawl, sprayed food, gasoline engines, coal-burning plants would no longer seem cheap; things like compact towns, organic foods, fuel cells, and solar powers would become affordable. Getting shares, people could spend their expanded leisure socializing, making art, enjoying nature, or just chilling. Economies let us produce wealth efficiently; geonomics lets us share it fairly.
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, including the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.

That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages.

The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
a new field of study offered in place of economics, as astronomy replaced astrology and chemistry replaced alchemy. Conventional economics, in which GNP can do well while people suffer, is a bit too superstitious for my renaissance upbringing. If I'm to propitiate unseen forces, it won't be inflation or "the market"; let it be theEgyptian cat goddess. At least then we'd have fewer rats. Meanwhile, believing in reason leads to a new policy, also christened geonomics. That's the proposal to share (a kind of management, the "nomics" part) the worth of Mother Earth (the "geo" part). If our economies are to work right, people need to see prices that tell the truth. Now taxes and subsidies distort prices, tricking people into squandering the planet. Using land dues and rent dividends instead lets prices be precise, guiding people to get more from less and thereby shrink their workweek. More free time ought to make us happy enough to evolve beyond economics, except when nostalgic for superstition.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
in part the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out. Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old loggers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.

Border Patrol pledges better communication
That's the message two U.S. Border Patrol spokesmen gave to a crowd of about 30 people April 8 at the Pioneer Park Memorial Park clubhouse, 387 E. Washington St.
"We could have done a better job, but we are willing to attend these meetings. I hope we can project a professional image and become part of your community," said Acting Supervisory U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jaime Castillo.
The forum was a response to checkpoints set up on U.S. Highway 101 in August and September 2008 as well as an increase from five Border Patrol agents at the Port Angeles station to 24 in the past 18 months.
Border Patrol Agent Chris Dyer said there's an appearance of the suspension of probable cause but the Border Patrol must conform to the U.S. Constitution and it does.
Court rulings allow primary inspection for a short time on a road that leads from a border, he said.
Agents can put up checkpoints "a reasonable distance" from the border, which has been determined to be 100 miles, Dyer said.
But he said it's "preposterous" to call that a "100-mile Constitution-free zone."
"We do not profile. This is what happens," Dyer said.
As the vehicle approaches the checkpoint, they look it over and observe the driver's demeanor, he said.
Then they ask non-intrusive questions such as place of birth but ask for a driver's license to establish identification not citizenship, Dyer said.
The Patriot Act added no authority to the Border Patrol's powers, he said.
Dyer said it's "a misconception" that most people entering the country illegally are coming here to feed their families and find work.
"That's a vast majority but not all," he said.
Dyer said the Port Angeles station caught 192 people trying to enter the country illegally last year although he didn't give a similar breakdown of those arrests.
The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team recently sent out information about Mexican drug cartels that have begun operating on the North Olympic Peninsula, he said.
Agents at Border Patrol's Bellingham station also board buses, Dyer said, adding that's how "D.C. sniper" Lee Malvo was caught.
Malvo was a Jamaican here illegally, Dyer said.
Abu Mezer, who plotted to bomb the New York City subway, was caught three times between Blaine and Bellingham in 1996, he said.
"We will not be a weak link, not on my watch. It's a national strategy," Dyer said.
Castillo said you can expect Congress to approve an increase in the Border Patrol's air, sea and land capability and you'll see more of that with the 2010 Olympics in British Columbia approaching.
"I think people should support us because we are here to protect you," he said.
The forum was hosted by the Clallam County Democratic Club. The Clallam County Democratic Central Committee on March 21 unanimously adopted the same resolution regarding the Border Patrol as the Jefferson County Democrats.
It calls for a suspension of the expanded Border Patrol activity and moving the force away from the border until its "legality, utility and constitutionality" has been determined by Congress and the courts.
The resolution now will go before the state Democratic Central Committee on
April 25.

Fassel to run Baltimore's offense
The Baltimore Ravens are expected to announce two additions to their coaching staff Tuesday.
Jim Fassel has agreed to accept the job as offensive coordinator, and former University of Washington coach Rick Neuheisel will be named quarterbacks coach.
It is also expected that defensive line coach Rex Ryan will get the defensive coordinator job once Mike Nolan negotiates a contract to be the next 49ers coach. He is expected to finalize a deal with San Francisco as early as Monday night.
Fassel was a senior consultant with the Ravens this season, working primarily on the development of second-year quarterback Kyle Boller. Fassel hoped to land another head coaching job but did not receive any solid offers and appears ready to accept the task of improving an offense that finished 31st in the NFL this season.
Fassel replaces Matt Cavanaugh, who was forced out at the end of this season. Last week, Cavanaugh accepted the offensive coordinator's job at the University of Pittsburgh, where Dave Wannstedt is the coach.
Fassel, who was at the team's training complex in Owings Mills on Monday, did not return phone calls. He was head coach of the Giants from 1997-03 and led New York to the 2001 Super Bowl, where the team lost to Baltimore.
Neuheisel was 66-30 over eight seasons at Colorado and Washington before being fired by the Huskies in June 2003 for participating in a big-money college basketball pool. The NCAA investigated both Neuheisel and the Washington football program and ultimately cleared the coach of any wrongdoing.
"We have been told it's going to happen, but nothing definitive," Neuheisel told The (Baltimore) Sun. "It looks promising. I don't want to put the cart before the horse and I'll let [head coach] Brian Billick do that."
Neuheisel originally interviewed for the offensive coordinator's job.

Guns and gun laws on display at Capitol
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Guns and gun laws were on open display at the Capitol on Wednesday as state lawmakers gave committee approval to several bills spurred by federal attempts to tighten firearms laws in the wake of the mass shooting Connecticut.
The House Judiciary Committee passed one of the most controversial, HB76, known as the "constitutional carry" bill because it would allow Utahns to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, just as they already are able to openly tote a firearm.
But the committee adjourned without voting on another gun bill attracting a lot of attention, HB114, intended to bar federal gun laws from being enforced in Utah. The bill was amended to no longer make that a felony.
Several in the audience slung guns over their shoulders or wore them holstered on their hips. Utah Highway Patrol troopers stepped in at one point when someone demanded to testify out of turn and had to be escorted to his seat.
At the same time, three other gun bills were passed by the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee. No weapons were on open display, and there were no confrontations.
Legislative leaders have said they would have preferred to avoid dealing with gun legislation this session, but President Barack Obama's proposed gun control measures have put them on the defensive.
Senate GOP leadership has discussed the highest-profile bills in closed caucus, including HB114, which has a high probability of being found unconstitutional, according to legislative attorneys.
"We are concerned about bills that are clearly unconstitutional or bills that have significant problems that we're going to have to fund defense for," said Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said that doesn't mean the Senate wouldn't consider those bills, but it is a concern.
House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, said support for the Second Amendment is strong and that won't change, no matter what happens to the gun bills.
"I don't think that attitude about the Second Amendment, and that critical right, I don't think you'll see support for that diminish at all," she said.
The sponsor of HB76, Rep. John Mathis, R-Vernal, said he was attempting to "give gun owners assurance they can do mundane things," such as put on a raincoat over an openly carried weapon during a storm.
Mathis said the bill would not encourage more people to carry guns, describing it as a "very small step" from legislation allowing guns to be carried in vehicles without a permit that was passed several years ago.
"I'm not trying to encourage gun use. I'm not trying to discourage gun use. I believe, in this country, we have a right to bear arms," he said. "A law-abiding citizen ought to be able to exercise that right."
Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek, said the bill would allow Utahns to avoid the background checks and classes now required to obtain a concealed weapons permit.
The other Democrat on the committee, Rep. Brian King of Salt Lake City, said the state denied concealed weapons permits to more than 600 applicants last year because background checks turned up felony and other serious convictions.
"I'm concerned we're moving too far in our state in the direction of unreasonable and unnecessary access to guns," King said, calling for more attention to public safety considerations.
Sam Fidler, a coordinator with the National Rifle Association, had his son, Michael, stand up and show off his holstered 9mm handgun. Guns, Fidler told the committee, don't intimidate or threaten.

When a Fish, Wildlife and Parks Fish Survey crew went electro-shocking fish on the Musselshell River on Monday, they were the ones who received a shock.
The two-man crew, aided by two Billings volunteers, found a human skull poking out of the shallow water along the south bank. Worried that someone else might pick it up, they GPSed the location and marked it, then lifted the skull out of its gravelly grave. They passed it on to a warden who gave it to the Wheatland County Sheriff.
By Tuesday, the Montana State Crime Lab had identified the skull as an American Indian, likely unearthed during last year's high water and sent tumbling down the river.
Here's a link to the full story on BillingsGazette.com
Be sure to tune in tomorrow morning for the Montana Outdoor Radio Show. The Captain will be broadcasting Live from the Cottonwood Inn from 6:00-8:00 a.m. at the Glasgow/Fort Peck Walleye Unlimited Event Day and Banquet.

Title: Preserving endangered plants in Massachusetts
Answered by: Dean Garrett
QUESTION:I've recently visited the national registry of threatened or endangered plants for my Massachusetts home, with a hope of : 1. Identifying rare, threatened or endangered species in my state. 2. finding a source of seed, corm, bulb, etc. that will allow me to help keep them going from my house. Unfortunately, there was no indication of where I could buy plants on the list. Do you know of anyone or any site that sells these? -If not, here's a great opportunity! Thank you.
ANSWER:How wonderful that you've taken an interest in preserving endangered plants!
The US Endangered Species Act of 1973 relegates specific legislation on endangered plants to state governments, and the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act "prohibits the taking, possession, transport, export, processing, sale or purchase of such species and any other species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act." So it's probably not possible to purchase the plants.
People interested in preserving and perhaps propagating rare plants to ensure their survival would likely be found through regional native plant societies and nearby chapters of the Wild Ones. It's possible they would know of legal exceptions to some of the restrictions on possession.
Good luck and thank you for your interest!

Vice Premier Shimon Peres's first significant political victory didn't make headlines in The Jerusalem Post. Back then, in November 1959, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president of the US and a moon walk still seemed unimaginable, Peres, then a 36-year-old Defense Ministry director-general, won a spot as Knesset member. It's a post he's held ever since.
Despite his successful 46-year political tenure in Israel's parliament, Peres has a long history of losing significant elections going back to the 1970s, including five losses at bids for prime minister.
If this were a Hallmark movie about an aging politician in his last bid to lead the country, Vice Premier Shimon Peres would have bested his rival MK Amir Peretz in Wednesday's Labor Party primaries, thus proving the value of perseverance against all odds.
In real life, however, his unexpected defeat, following poll predictions of anywhere from 9 to 28 percent victory over Peretz, would have been described as stunning were it not for his history of political losses.
To be fair, not everything he touches tarnishes. A 1994 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Peres has served as finance minister and foreign minister. While he was defense minister, the Israel Defense Forces successfully executed the Entebbe raid in 1976, in which some 100 hostages were rescued from Uganda. He has authored 10 books and helped develop Israel's aviation and hi-tech industry. And he was prime minister not once, but three times, once as acting prime minister. It's actually a miraculous record for a man who chronically fails at the polls.
In jest, Peres has been known to point out that he has won a leadership election. In 1944 he won the post of secretary-general of Hanoar Haoved.
But his magic charm, best exhibited in his youth, had mostly disappeared by the 1970s. In many cases, only a few votes stood between him and victory. In 1974 he lost the race for party leadership to Yitzhak Rabin by 44 votes. He was defeated again by Rabin in 1976. But he became party head as well as acting prime minister in 1977 once it was revealed that Rabin's wife had bank accounts abroad, which was illegal at the time.
Once on top, he led Labor to its first governmental defeat since the creation of the state in 1948, when he lost the prime ministerial race to the Likud candidate, Menachem Begin, who himself was not a charmer at the polls, having lost eight prime ministerial bids.
There were some signs that his luck was turning in 1980 when he bested Rabin for party leadership, only to lose the 1981 prime ministerial race to Begin by one mandate. He seemed to do better in 1984 when he actually won the race for prime minister, but by such a narrow margin that he couldn't form a coalition. Instead he was forced to share the office with Likud politician Yitzhak Shamir on a rotation basis.
His failure to secure the office for the Labor party was looked on particularly harshly by political pundits. The Jerusalem Post at the time, described it this way: "Even a man plucked at random out of the street should have been able to beat a Likud candidate saddled with responsibility for the twin catastrophes of the war in Lebanon and the raging inflation."
Undeterred by the losses, Peres ran again for party leadership in 1992 and lost to Rabin. But he was made both party leader and prime minister following Rabin's assassination in 1995. However in the election that followed in 1996, when he should have slid easily into office, he lost to his Likud opponent Binyamin Netanyahu.
He followed that loss with another as party leader in 1997 to Ehud Barak. Peres then turned his eye to another high office, the presidency. It was an honor that everyone expected he would be granted. But in a surprise move at the time, he lost by three votes to Likud candidate Moshe Katsav in 2000.
He was returned to the post of foreign minister and deputy prime minister in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's first government, until the party left the coalition in 2002. For a brief period he remained as a mere MK until circumstances pushed him back into the limelight. He became acting party head in 2003 following Amram Mitzna's resignation.
Sharon returned him to the post of vice prime minister when he made a new coalition with Labor in 2004, in advance of Israel's pullout from Gaza, a move that Peres and his party supported.
Hoping to shore up the Labor Party, Peres in 2004 invited Peretz, who had left to form his own party, Am Ehad, to return. It was a move that proved to be his undoing. In what was expected to be his final shot at actually being voted into the Prime Minister's Office, Peres lost to Peretz.
In a political moment that has become famous, in 1997 Peres asked a Labor Party convention if he was a loser. They responded, "Yes."
Peres's first cousin, the famous US actress Lauren Bacall, once sang a song,"100 ways to lose a man." While Peres has shown that he knows 100 ways to lose an election, it is hardly a sign of defeat.
It is somehow fitting that he lost this last election. If he had actually won, he would have lost his place as the man who always manages to come out on top even in defeat, and as a result has - despite the electoral setbacks - spent a life time serving his country anyway.

- Why should we not hire you? Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Crete Carrier in January 2012.Interview Details
The initial interview is really nothing more than a pre-approval of your online application. Once pre-approved prepare to be accepted. You will then be asked to show up at a regional terminal office where they will provide you a motel room. You will then more than likely spend 3-4 days filling out some of the same paperwork you had already completed online, and been screened for drugs, physical, and fitness. You will watch endless safety vids and take multiple choice tests. Meals will not be provided except on the rarest of occasions. You will take a short driver test with another driver. You will not be compensated for the duration of this week. If you pass this first week of screening, you will receive either a bus ticket or a truck. This truck and or bus ticket will be used to take you to Lincoln Nebraska to Crete HQ.
Now here's the part that will drive you crazy. You will redo every piece of paperwork, the drug test, the safety vids, the company vids, etc. You will be given a motel. Expect to be up early every morning, be fed cafeteria food, and be asked to stick around till 5pm every night for the motel shuttle. You will receive a truck assignment at the end of the week if you haven't already. Your compensation will be about $75 a day, unless something has change in the last year.
You will likely receive your first load out of Lincoln on Thursday. Be prepared to run a couple weeks before you see the house, even if they tell you that you'll get right home. If you work on the home weekly fleet expect 1200-1500 miles a week max. If on the month out at a time plan, expect 2200-2600 miles a week.Interview Questions

Crete Carrier is very thorough in its hiring process. If you forget something in your past, or you try to hide something, they will find it. Full disclosure is the best route. My one complaint is that it takes about three weeks to get to orientation after submitting the application. Once in orientation, drivers are treated with professionalism and respect.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

Sectarian graffiti was painted on walls of The Dunanney Centre, at Rathmullan Drive in the Rathcoole estate, Co Antrim, last week in the latest of four incidents over the past few months.
It comes after a petrol bombing on Saturday, 12 July, caused considerable damage to the building, while at Easter the boiler house was destroyed.
Managers said the attacks have cost around £100,000 and have put the centre's future in jeopardy.
People involved in Monday afternoon's action have called for those behind the vandalism to stop as they are damaging the community.
DUP MP for North Belfast Nigel Dodds said: "The community are coming out today to endorse the work that goes on here and to say they're utterly appalled at these attacks.
"We're not clear who is behind it but this is a centre that's here to serve everyone without fear or favour and it should be left alone to do that."
The Dunanney Centre has been described as a vital resource used by thousands of local people.
It acts as a hub for the community, houses one of Northern Ireland's busiest Citizens' Advice offices and also offers job and benefits advice.
Representatives said they are pleased to see the rally and have appealed to those responsible for the attacks to stop and let the centre get on with serving the people the Rathcoole area.
Centre manager Vicky Moore said: "We're absolutely delighted with the turnout here.
"The message is very clear, the community in Rathcoole doesn't support what's happening to the centre but also they don't reflect the wider views of whoever attacked us in this way."
Police have appealed for anyone with information on the attacks to come forward.

Lady Gaga Hair and Makeup at VMAs 2013
MTV VMAs Beauty: Lady Gaga Goes Brunette
by Jaime Richards 11 Reactions 21 Shares Print
Lady Gaga is known for shocking her fans with her wild MTV VMAs hairstyles (steak hair fascinator, anyone?), but for 2013's red carpet, she chose a more staid style: a long, jet-black coif. Gaga paired her Elvira-esque strands with an orange-stain lip hue and kept her eye makeup on the barely there front.

A stink has been brewing over at Fox News about a posting on an Obama extended universe website called "Keeping GOP Honest." The 4/20 posting lists the names and contributions of several Romney mega-donors (six figures and over) contributing to various Romney Super PACs.
Normally, political donations are public information, but not when they are giant donations made through Super PACs. Billionaires deserve anonymity when influencing the political process with their money. The Supreme Court said so. To reveal their names and public activity in a list suggesting they aren't totally good constitutes "terrorism."
I'm on board with Fox News on this one. There's something creepy about a list of names. It's very Orwellian. You know who else kept lists of names? George Orwell. Looks like Obama learned his tricks from the best.
As the pressure builds to Do SomethingTM about this OutrageTM I have decided to mirror the posting here to prevent the destruction of terrorism evidence when Obama's campaign is inevitably shamed into removing it.
