A good Friday afternoon laugh.
Never fails to crack me up. Especially the flyer part. I have actually seen some of those flyers on the streets of Portland, OR.

Pink Lotus Reviews
Reviewer: Addfie Johnson from San Diego
Overall: Comfort: Style:
These leggings are way better than I would have expected them to be. The print is unique, the fit is great and I love the good length. Nice soft yet firm elastic material makes these a very special and "go to" item. Yes, a bit on the overpriced side, but because they are so very beautiful I will definitely keep them.
Reviewer: Nikki L from Virginia
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I ordered these pants expecting a 36" inseam. I received them, only to find that they are a 34.5" inseam. Received two pair, just to be sure that it was not a manufacturing malfunction. They are incorrectly labeled as 36". If you are looking for a longer pant, you may want to look elsewhere.
Reviewer: Jenn from Savannah, GA
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Nice drape, flattering. Light weight for Southern fall weather/indoor AC layer. Back V split w waistline seam line is flattering though difficult to see in photos. I bought in two colors.
Reviewer: from Wyoming
Overall: Comfort: Style:
The stars printed on the capri were not even. Some were dark and others were very light. Also, the stars on the back did not even go up to the center seam. They ended about 1-1 1/2 inches from the seam. Seemed to be very poor quality to me.
Reviewer: from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Good quality fabric with nice drape and very deep black color. It is not apparent from the photos but there is a slit in the back, which doesn't seem necessary since this is a relaxed fit. Very versatile sweater that goes great with leggings for day and dresses at night. I am 5'3" and 110 pounds and the XS was perfect! It will pack nicely for travel with minimal wrinkling.

Organic growth
Publication Date : 26-08-2013
Sheraton Guangzhou Huadu Resort's organic garden ensures guests get the best bites
Sheraton Guangzhou Huadu Resort's organic garden ensures guests get the best bites.
Sheraton Guangzhou Huadu Resort's guests can wake up in the five-star hotel's lake view villa and pick organic vegetables from the garden.
These are cooked in the hotel's restaurant as they sip coffee while taking in mountain scenes in the fresh air 33 miles from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Then, guests enjoy their pickings for lunch.
The hotel's general manager Ivo Estorninho created the establishment in August 2012 by renovating a golf driving range into the 1.4-hectare Rainbow Farm. It grows 16 kinds of plants in soil and hydroponic containers, and raises 75 chickens and fish.
"More and more Chinese guests have become interested in organic food," food and beverage director David Woodford explains.
"It's not just the trend, but the way people will go, because they want to have good food."
The farm's project manager Guo Xiaofeng says organic vegetables are smaller but better tasting and healthier.
"The farm is important because customers know where the food comes from," Woodford says.
"We can develop different food to cater for them. If we run out of something, we just go and pick it fresh from the land."
bout 20 to 25 per cent of Rainbow Farm's products supply the hotel's Yue Chinese Restaurant. Suburbanites and downtown dwellers buy the rest. The farm delivers sufficiently large orders to residents' doorsteps.
"It can't provide for all of the hotel's need because we can't grow some species," Guo says.
"So, the output is limited."
He says increasing diversity decreases output.
For example, melons takes 40 days from planting to harvest.
It takes patience and skill to run an organic farm. Rainbow is run by 10 workers, six of whom are local farmers.
Plants are fertilised with watered-down chicken manure. Fly traps and such plants as mint and camphor repel insects.
Melons and legumes are too heavy to be planted in the white pipes in which rows of produce grows in the hydroponic greenhouse.
The workers look for insects and check the soil-nutrient levels daily.
Another greenhouse houses four 10-cubic-meter cement fishponds. The water is filtered by aquatic plants and small fish before it's reused for up to three months.
The fish and chicken are fed extra or spoiled vegetables. The fowl eat corn soaked in water overnight and cornmeal, which are good for their digestion. Their brick coup has a large "backyard" for them to walk around in.
The farm doesn't host large livestock because of environmental limits and odours.
Executive chef Ji Chenglong regularly communicates with Guo so the farmers grow the vegetables he needs and knows what vegetables are in season.
He says about 70 per cent of Yue Chinese Restaurant's dishes are organic. Organic dishes in the hotel's restaurants are marked on the menus.
"Vegetables' natural taste satisfies everyone," Ji says.
"The farm makes it easy to create new dishes. Sometimes, I pull what I need to cook from the land."

I stayed here with a friend early in 2012. We were very plesantly surprised with the hotel and the quality of the rooms. The room we stayed in, had been beautifully renovated, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the room. The icing on the cake however was the jacuzzi bath complete with coloured lighting, a very nice treat after a day's skiing :-).
The breakfast is buffet style with great choice on offer. If you want anything cooked, you have to ask, but the staff are more than happy to fulfil your requests.

Seven possible runners remain in Sunday's Dobbins & Madigans @ Punchestown Morgiana Hurdle, and it looks likely to be a high-class renewal.
The star name is Willie Mullins' 2011 Champion Hurdle winner Hurricane Fly, who lost his title at Cheltenham in March.
Hurricane Fly did go some way to redeeming his reputation at Punchestown, beating his stablemate Zaidpour, who could once again be in opposition. Mullins could also run Blackstairmountain.
Go Native could prove to be Hurricane Fly's toughest foe, having returned from almost two years off seemingly as good as ever.
Noel Meade has used all his skill to nurse the nine-year-old back to the track and he showed a blistering turn of foot to win a Flat race last month.
Meade has, however, taken out Monksland.
Dermot Weld's mare Unaccompanied could return to hurdles having run on the Flat recently, while Eddie Harty's Captain Cee Bee, who showed his engine remains intact when beating Rebel Fitz at Tipperary, is also in the mix.
Edward O'Grady's Staying Article is another interesting runner, having finished third in a valuable handicap on just his third start over timber last season.

Tony Dejak, Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Hard rockers Guns N' Roses have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without lead singer Axl Rose.
Guns N' Roses burst onto the scene with both barrels blaring in the mid 1980s. Their debut album, "Appetite for Destruction" was a shot in the arm to a stale genre and established GNR as a global force.
The band bickered for years before splitting. Earlier this week, Rose ended any hope fans had for a reunion of the original lineup when he announced he would skip Saturday night's ceremony in Cleveland and declined induction.
Green Day inducted Guns N' Roses. Members of the group accepted the honor dressed in striking black outfits, their fists raised in response to cheers from the audience.

Managing your network in the era of the 'internet of everything'
By UXC | 25/8/2014
Over recent years, network devices have evolved way beyond their traditional role of just 'directing traffic'. This whitepaper argues that the convergence of different technologies within the same device calls for new thinking about network management. • The introduction of new devices and advanced infrastructure has made the work of enterprise network management teams more complex • Servers, storage, operating systems and applications were the responsibility of other teams, but thanks to the converged infrastructure and new technologies, the roles of teams are blurring • Getting and keeping today's application performance systems optimally tuned calls for high levels of network, hardware, software and application skillsDownload this now

By UXC | 25/8/2014
True innovation isn't achieved by technology alone. This paper looks at the nature of innovation and how difficult it can be to recognise, let alone embed within your ICT outsourcing arrangements, and offers better ways of enabling true business innovation. • A Deloitte survey of 5000 young leaders found that 78% of 'millennials' cited innovation as one of the top three purposes of business • Only 58% of the young leaders from Australia believed they work in an innovative organisation and just 46% felt their organisation helps them to be innovative • Clauses in ICT outsourcing contracts relating to innovation are typically both extremely limiting and impractical to deliver.Download this now

HERMOSA BEACH, Calif., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of Jon C. Furgison today announced a shareholder class action filing against Hewlett-Packard Company alleging securities fraud in connection with the company's 2011 acquisition of Autonomy Corporation, plc.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and entitled Neumann v. Hewlett-Packard Company, et al., was brought on behalf of purchasers of HP common stock (NYSE: HPQ) during the period between February 20, 2008 and November 20, 2012. Motions for lead plaintiff for this action are due in Court no later than January 25, 2013.
Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Should members of the putative class have questions concerning their rights and interests, they may contact plaintiff's counsel at (310) 356-6890.
On August 18, 2011, HP announced that it had agreed to purchase Autonomy, a British company that supplies software that analyzes unstructured data, such as emails, online videos and web-surfing, for patterns. HP paid approximately $11.1 billion to acquire Autonomy. At the time of the purchase, Hewlett-Packard insiders touted the deal's potential for substantial synergistic effects that would prove profitable for the company. According to the complaint, HP and its insiders continued to make public statements about the benefits of the Autonomy purchase throughout 2012.
According to the complaint, HP knew at the time it made its statements that it had vastly overpaid for Autonomy and that the purported synergistic benefits would never materialize. As widely reported, the company was forced to take an $8.8 billion write down related to its acquisition of Autonomy, which it announced on November 20, 2012.
The complaint also alleges a fraudulent scheme by Hewlett-Packard and certain insiders from at least February 20, 2008 until the present, concerning one of its most profitable products, its proprietary Integrity servers. These servers are sold primarily to HP's largest corporate customers and typically carry high profit margin service contracts – in some years the Integrity servers have accounted for as much as 15% of profits.
According to the complaint, beginning in early 2008, HP learned that the Integrity servers were facing obsolescence. The servers run on the Itanium chip, manufactured by Intel Corporation. The complaint notes that without the Itanium chip, HP could not sell the Integrity servers, and its high-profit service agreements would be wiped out. At some point prior to February 2008, Intel told HP that it wished to stop making the Itanium chips, because they were no longer profitable for Intel. According to the complaint, HP, facing massive losses in profits, secretly agreed to pay Intel millions of dollars – just so that it would agree to continue to make the Itanium chips. These payments served no purpose other than to convince Intel to continue to make the chips and the agreement was a closely-guarded secret of the Company, the complaint alleges. At the same time it knew its Integrity servers were facing obsolescence, HP continued making statements, which the Complaint alleges to be false, regarding the long-term viability of those servers.
Shareholders allege that the frauds associated with the Autonomy acquisition and the Integrity servers have had a severe effect on HP's stock. From February 20, 2008 until November 20, 2012, when the public finally knew the truth about the two events, HP's market capitalization declined from $117 billion to $23 billion, a loss of $94 billion. It had traded as high as $54.52 at one point during the class period, and it closed at $11.71 on November 20, 2012.
Plaintiff Paul Neumann seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of HP common stock during the Class Period.

Is blizzard getting too much hype? No, experts say
You can call it a snowstorm of historic proportions. You can call it the return of New England's blizzard of 1978. You can call it simply dangerous. And you can even call it Nemo.
AP Science Writer
You can call it a snowstorm of historic proportions. You can call it the return of New England's blizzard of 1978. You can call it simply dangerous. And you can even call it Nemo.
But don't call it hype.
The new director of the National Weather Service says some may be getting carried away in describing the winter storm bearing down on the Northeast. But he says the science is simple and chilling.
Louis Uccellini is an expert on snowstorms. He says meteorologists are telling people that this is a dangerous storm because it is.
Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the private Weather Underground, said the storm deserves the attention it's getting. "This is a serious life-threatening storm if you're trying to travel in it and getting stuck."
One of the big differences between this one and the 1978 blizzard is that back then, it caught people by surprise, leaving many stranded on the highways, said Keith Seitter of the Boston-based American Meteorological Society. This time preventive steps, like closing schools and an early order for people to be off Massachusetts roads before dark, should save lives and make road-clearing easier, experts said.
For more than a week, forecasters have seen this one coming. Meteorologists put it in the category of those that earned nicknames like the East Coast "storm of the century" in 1993. In size, that one topped the 1978 blizzard. The Weather Channel is even giving this storm a name - Nemo.
The National Weather Service has rejected the cable TV network's naming system. The weather service uses names for hurricanes and tropical storms created by the World Meteorological Organization, but not other types of storms.
Snowbound MIT meteorology professor Kerry Emanuel agrees that forecasters are telling it like it is. But he adds that extreme weather like this fascinates not just weather geeks, but the media and everyone.
"People sort of like it," says Emanuel, who is stuck in his Lexington, Mass., home. "It's the weather porn phenomena. There are people glued to The Weather Channel."
Experts aren't too worried about future weather warnings being ignored if this storm fizzles, because fizzling seems unlikely.
Decades ago, storms like this would come with at most a day or two warning. But now because of satellite technology, high-powered computers and better data and modeling, forecasters are seeing storms several days in advance, says Uccellini, co-author of two books on snowstorms.
Computer model forecasts accurately predicted last fall's Superstorm Sandy about a week in advance and with this blizzard, the first models were showing trouble brewing 10 days out, Uccellini says.
With so much warning, there are days of waiting for a storm with little news to report, sometimes leading to exaggeration. On occasion someone will overemphasize one of the scarier computer model simulations - there are dozens- while the weather service and others use a combination that's more conservative and has more scientific consensus, Uccellini says.
"The longer you to have the watch the storm, the more anticipation you're going to get, the more interest it's going to generate," Masters says.
In that way, the lead-up to the storm has been the atmospheric equivalent of the week before the Oscars or Super Bowl.
And now it even has the catchy Nemo name thanks to The Weather Channel.
"By definition when we give things a name, it does allow us to connect with it," says Heidi Cullen, chief climatologist at Climate Central, a nonprofit science journalism group. She's also a former Weather Channel expert. "It gives it a narrative. We're hard-wired for stories and we can turn these weather events into stories."
But Uccellini and others don't like it because it's arbitrary and leads to confusion. This storm is the product of two systems, one coming from the west, dumping snow over the Great Lakes and one moving north from the southeast coast. Which of those were Nemo, if either, he asks. And what makes some storms name-worthy and others not?
The name Nemo was getting significant use, trending Friday on Twitter. The Huffington Post website fully embraced the name, trumpeting "Nemo Cometh" in a morning headline. But it was an easy target for jokes, too. CBS News' Major Garrett mused on Twitter: "I thought only Dairy Queen named Blizzards."

It's a debate as old as Plato's Republic, which articulated the concept of ethical leadership back in 380BC. Are talented leaders born that way, or do they become brilliant as a result of guidance and development?
It's the kind of question that's been asked a million times by now, but since I can't recall it ever appearing on a Fairfax masthead, I thought I'd raise it here to get your views.
(First, a disclosure. I run a business that exists solely because it believes in the nurture side of the nature/nurture debate. So, for the purposes of today's article, I'll remain neutral by sharing three of the strongest arguments from both sides, and then leave it to you to decide.)
Leaders are born
Last year, five universities, including Harvard and the London School of Economics, published the results of an intriguing study conducted on twins. They identified, for the first time, a leadership gene. (In case you're wondering, it's rs4950). Their research discovered people with that gene are more likely to be leaders. But the precise influence of rs4950 is not yet known. What's clear, however, is that it's there and significantly related to leadership.
In 2012, another study was conducted on twins, this one by the National University of Singapore and Arizona State University. The researchers found that, yep, genetic similarities are present among many leaders. But, more importantly, the type of leader one becomes - known academically as 'transformational' - is far more hereditary. Transformational leaders are charismatic, inspirational, energetic and high performing.
Finally, a study two years ago conducted jointly by several institutions, including the University of Melbourne, focused on 'emergent' leadership, which is when an employee has influence over others as though he or she were a formal leader without actually being appointed as one.
This time, again, twins were studied - more than 12,000 of them - with gender differences the main focus. The researchers found, much like the other two studies, a genetic connection. But, for women, that genetic influence mysteriously seems to be strongest during their child-rearing years. Conversely, for men, the influence is linear throughout their working lives.
Leaders are made
Just over a decade ago, researchers at Sonoma State University tracked the progress of 281 senior leaders over a six-month period as they engaged in executive coaching. Their effectiveness was measured via 360 feedback, which is when you receive ratings and comments on your performance by colleagues, bosses and employees. The conclusion of the study was that the coaching increased leadership effectiveness by a whopping 60 per cent.
A couple of years later, a meta-analysis on leadership development was published by scholars at Louisiana State University. A leadership development programme is usually a combination of learning techniques, such as group workshops, one-on-one mentoring, workplace assignments, on-the-job experiences, and so on. The researchers analysed the results of 83 separate studies that had been conducted over the previous two decades.
They discovered some leadership development programmes are hopeless; others are hugely successful. But when they're all combined, it becomes clear that leadership development programmes "produce substantial results", especially in regards to improving the knowledge and skills of those who participate in them.
And lastly, a joint study in 2006 by Griffith University and the University of Lancaster looked at the ways in which leaders grow within the one organisation. What they found was that leaders often learn through informal means, which commonly include observing other leaders they perceive as role models.
Critically, the leaders in the study felt as though their ability to lead was an ongoing learning process shaped by continuous experiences.
In other words, leadership was a skill to be developed gradually over time as opposed to an innate characteristic that comes naturally.

Manmohan Singh backs Rahul Gandhi for successor as India PM - and says rival Narendra Modi would be 'disastrous'
Andrew Buncombe
The Independent's US Digital Editor, based in New York. Previously in Delhi and Washington DC.
Friday 03 January 2014
India's prime minister used his first press conference for three years to announce something everyone suspected - that he will stand down after the next election whether his party wins or not. He also used the occasion to launch a surprisingly barbed attack on the main opposition candidate, saying he would be disastrous for the country.
During an hour long event that highlighted how India's preparations for a general election are becoming increasingly bitter, Manmohan Singh announced that he will not seek a third term as premier.
The 81-year-old, who has headed a Congress party-led coalition for almost ten years, said he believed Rahul Gandhi, scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family, should become the next prime minister. By contrast, he said Narendra Modi, candidate of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, would not be a good leader for India.
"Without discussing the merits of Modi, it would be disastrous for the country to have Narendra Modi as the next prime minister," said Mr Singh, who was asked about claims from the opposition that he had been a weak prime minister.
He added: "If by a strong prime minister they mean you preside over the massacre of innocent citizens on the streets of Ahmadabad, if that is the measure of strength, I do not believe that is the sort of strength this country needs."
Mr Singh, who is usually credited - perhaps too much so - for introducing a series of liberalising reforms which helped India's growth after 1991, became prime minister in 2004. He did so after the Congress party secured a surprise victory and Sonia Gandhi, head of the party and the widow of assassinated Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, declined to become premier.
His first term received widespread recognition for continuing reforms as well as introducing a series of bills designed to help India's poorest. The Congress, with Mr Singh as the candidate, was reelected in 2009.
But his second term has been widely condemned, not only by those who have urged him to enact more reforms to help the faltering economy, but by those angered by the repeated revelations of public corruption. Many of the allegations of corruption have been levelled at the government.
In recent weeks and months, Congress has been pushed onto the back foot by a wave of enthusiasm and interest that Mr Modi and the BJP have been able to generate, despite repeated claims over his failure to prevent the massacre of Muslims in the state of Gujarat in 2002. In a series of recent state elections, seen a a indicator as to how people might vote in the general election that must be held by the spring, the BJP beat the Congress in all but one of the contests.
On Friday, the BJP denounced Mr Singh's comments, made during what was just his third press conference in three years.
"[Manmohan Singh] brought agony and misery to the country and its people because of his shameful governance," Ravi Shankar Prasad, a senior BJP leader, told reporters, according to the Associated Press. "You are nobody to call [Mr Modi] a disaster."
As the main parties continue to campaign across the country, both the Congress and BJP are being forced to reassess the political landscape after the emergence of the Aam Aadmi, or Common Man, party. (AAP)
The grass-roots, anti-corruption party became second in a recent election in Delhi and managed to take power in the nation's capital with support from other parties. Riding on the anti-incumbency wave that Mr Modi has also utilised, the party and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal, have since announced plans to contest at least 300 of around 540 seats in the general election.
The party believes is it at the front of a revolution and can replicate its success nationally. "It's seems there is a transformation," said party spokeswoman Shazia Ilmi.
Not everyone is convinced the party has the recognition it does in Delhi. However, the party could be a spanner in the works.
"I can't see AAP seriously contesting 300 seats or having an impact across India," said analyst and journalist Ashok Malik.
"However, its footprint does overlap with an urban geography that was politically crucial for the Congress in 2009 and that Modi is banking on in 2014. If AAP can take away substantial votes in even 20-30 urban constituencies, without necessarily winning all of these, it could damage the BJP."

How Facebook avoided Google's fate in talent poaching lawsuit
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc (FB.O) has emerged as one of the biggest Silicon Valley companies to have resisted rivals' entreaties to stop poaching each other's employees, according to emails between the No. 1 social network and Google Inc (GOOG.O) released in court filings.
Sheryl Sandberg had just been installed as Facebook's chief operating officer when one of her former colleagues from Google emailed her, according to the filings unsealed late last week. Facebook's aggressive recruitment of Google employees had heightened tensions between the two companies to "Defcon 2," top Google executive Jonathan Rosenberg told Sandberg in August 2008.
"Fix this problem. Propose that you will substantially lower the rate at which you hire people from us," Rosenberg told Sandberg in an email. "Then make sure that happens."
But Sandberg deflected Rosenberg's entreaties, saying she thought Google only had limited no-solicitation agreements with companies with which it shared board members, not blanket no-hire policies with other companies.
Plaintiffs say companies like Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Google and Intel Corp (INTC.O) drove down wages by agreeing to avoid soliciting employees from each other.
"I declined at that time to limit Facebook's recruitment or hiring of Google employees," Sandberg wrote in a sworn declaration submitted by the plaintiffs in court.
That response had made Facebook a witness, rather than a defendant, in a massive antitrust lawsuit brought by tech workers against the largest players in Silicon Valley.
A Facebook representative declined to comment on Monday, while a Google spokesman could not immediately be reached.
In past statements, Google said it has always "actively and aggressively" recruited top talent.
Harry First, a professor at New York University School of Law who specializes in antitrust, said on Monday the exchange between Sandberg and Rosenberg at a minimum confirms how board relationships between the tech companies initially drove the agreements not to solicit from each other, which then expanded from there.
"That does not look good to the jury," First said.
However, the defendants can also argue that the refusal of companies like Facebook to limit hiring shows that any alleged conspiracy could not have impacted the broader job market and wages in general.
In 2010, Google, Apple, Adobe Systems Inc, Intel and others agreed to a settlement of a U.S. Justice Department probe that barred them from agreeing not to poach each other's employees.
The companies have since been fighting the civil antitrust lawsuit. They argue the plaintiffs cannot successfully prove an overarching conspiracy to impact wages.
Facebook is not the only Silicon Valley company which rejected a request to curtail its hiring efforts. In 2007, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs threatened to file a patent lawsuit against Palm if that company's chief executive didn't agree to refrain from poaching Apple employees, according to correspondence filed in court.
However, then Palm CEO Edward Colligan told Jobs that the plan was "likely illegal," and that Palm was not "intimidated" by the threat.
"If you choose the litigation route, we can respond with our own claims based on patent assets, but I don't think litigation is the answer," Colligan said.
Trial in the hiring class action is scheduled to begin in May.
The civil case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California is In Re: High-Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation, 11-cv-2509.

Agitate, America!: Reclaiming the sacred
By Nancy Churchill
A Progressive Visionary
My husband and I recently spent a weekend at a Native American "talking circle" fire ceremony honoring spirituality. Native American tribes across the country have been engaged in reestablishing their ancestral traditions, some restricting this renewal to blood natives, but many — like the tribe we visited — welcoming non-natives into their circles. They consider us universally connected, since each one of us has originated from a native tribe somewhere.
Being spiritual is not the same thing as belonging to an organized religion. Natives tend to agree with Wikipedia's definition of spirituality as "the search for 'the sacred,' where 'the sacred' is broadly defined as that which is set apart from the ordinary and worthy of veneration [references in original]." I define "the sacred" as respect for and acknowledgment of the connectedness of all of us with each other and with everything in the universe.
Two centuries ago, our federal government shamefully attempted to eradicate native culture by separating all native children from their parents and isolating them in boarding schools.
Cutting off generations of Indian children from their culture was an offense and a tragedy of monumental proportions. Native people today all over the country are reconnecting, re-educating, re-establishing the ancient spiritual traditions, languages and cultures that were lost, sometimes transforming those old boarding schools into centers for the reclamation of their culture. And some are drawing non-natives, like my husband and myself, into their circles.
Had the spiritual ways of the Indians been revered, rather than reviled, by whites, we might have learned a thing or two that is now missing from our own culture.
Modern culture is dominated by corporate power and profit devoid of spirit. Our government is a virtual plutocracy, as we have seen, run by representatives beholden to the wealthy who finance their multi-million-dollar campaigns. These representatives reciprocate by passing into law bills that were crafted by corporations to favor their interests.
According to the ancient sacred concept called "the commons," life-sustaining necessities — such as water, land and biosphere — once belonged to everyone. Today, control of those necessities is being appropriated by industry. Corporations can legally establish ownership rights of water that once belonged to "the commons," then bottle it and sell it back to us.
Other corporations develop genetically modified seeds that withstand toxic poisons, then farmers spray those toxins on crops and call the product "food." Farmers are prohibited by contract from saving and replanting the toxin-resistant seed the following year. The corporation aims to keep farmers and the public dependent upon them alone for our food.
The fossil fuel industry is the most lucrative of all time right now, and also the most polluting. But their billions are able to persuade lawmakers to prevent renewable fuels from replacing fossil fuels as our principle energy source.
It's disgraceful that from birth our need for life-giving sustenance becomes a cash cow for soulless corporate profit.
I'm for joining the Native American community in reclaiming the sacred.
