Minority Car Buyers Pay Higher Interest Rates on Loans
By Hal M. Bundrick
NEW YORK (MainStreet) Minority car buyers have been getting ripped off. Ally Financial and Ally Bank have been ordered to pay $80 million in damages and $18 million in penalties because of discriminatory loan pricing. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) say that 235,000 African-American, Hispanic and Asian and Pacific Islander borrowers paid excessive interest rates on auto loans between April 2011 and December 2013.
It is the largest auto loan discrimination settlement in history.
"Discrimination is a serious issue across every consumer credit market," said CFPB director Richard Cordray. "We are returning $80 million to hard-working consumers who paid more for their cars or trucks based on their race or national origin. We look forward to working closely with the Justice Department and Ally to make sure this serious issue will be addressed appropriately in the years ahead as well."
When consumers buy cars through dealerships, financing is often arranged through third-party lenders. These lenders bid for a loan, offering a "buy rate" -- and then allow the dealer to charge an even higher rate. This "dealer markup" provides additional revenue for the auto dealer and increases the consumer's interest rate, regardless of their creditworthiness. The investigation concluded that Ally charged minority borrowers higher dealer markups for their auto loans than non-Hispanic white borrowers with similar credit backgrounds.Ally is one of the largest indirect auto lenders in the United States. "With this largest-ever settlement in an auto loan discrimination case, we are taking a firm stand against discrimination in a critical lending market," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "By requiring Ally to provide refunds to those who are overcharged because of their race or national origin, this agreement will ensure relief for Americans who are victimized. It will enable the Justice Department and the CFPB to work closely with Ally and others to prevent discriminatory practices in the future. And it will reinforce our determination to respond aggressively to discrimination in America's lending markets wherever it is found." Auto loans are the third-largest source of household debt in the U.S, after mortgages and student loans. Under the order, Ally will pay $80 million to a settlement fund that will go to harmed African-American, Hispanic and Asian and Pacific Islander borrowers whose auto loans were purchased by Ally between April 2011 and December 2013. A settlement administrator will contact consumers if necessary, distribute the funds, and ensure that borrowers who were affected receive compensation. Ally will also pay an $18 million penalty to the CFPB's Civil Penalty Fund. --Written by Hal M. Bundrick for MainStreet

R&A Rankings
FORMBY, England – The R&A's World Amateur Golf Ranking now decides who gets into the British Amateur Championship.
Taking players off a ranking system was thought to be necessary after previous years when some players with supposedly plus-handicaps couldn't break 80. However, there are still spots off a ballot system for wannabe club golfers with decent handicaps.
Of the 288 places available in the stroke play qualifying, 268 were allocated to players off the WAGR. That left just 20 places for decent club amateurs.
That number swelled to 41 when 21 of the 268 withdrew from the championship.
A handicap of plus-1.9 or better was required for any golfer without a world ranking to have any chance of getting into the championship.

We were designed to crave high-calorie food because when we were "cavemen" we needed that type of food to survive when food was scarce. Part of our biology that now doesn't serve us so well!
Yup! She's clearly awesome! Nose doubt about it!
I wouldn't call Pancake a troll. She's asserting an unpopular (on atheist sites) point of view. It's difficult to admit to a poor argument . . . even atheists can be guilty of that. Toss in her personal investment in her belief system and you've got the formula for obstinate denial. This is a natural reaction and one that doesn't really surprise anybody with experience of the human condition.
TA welcomes everybody -- atheist or not. That means they can post their points of view like everybody else. If doing so results in one's inability to defend oneself, then one will probably look obstinate for lack of logical responses or conceding points to superior arguments.
Evolution is not a matter of opinion. It's a fact. It might be that God is the Prime Mover who created the universe and set the laws of nature in motion . . . thus eventually leading to life on Earth and for our very existence. But we know evolution accounts for the diversity of life on Earth and we even have growing cosmological evidence that God wasn't necessary for the creation of the universe.
Regardless of whether or not some cosmic creator God is out there, what difference does it make to us if he's not part of the natural world? Unless this cosmic creator God demands recognition or worship, he's irrelevant. And any God who would be so petty as to demand recognition or worship is surely not a timeless, boundless, God.
And a personal God who actually intervenes in the natural world -- suspending laws of nature -- to perform miracles and answer prayers? Give me a break. You can't claim THAT and rationality simultaneously.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who have generously donated to support my Out of Darkness Overnight Walk to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention. When I began, I had no idea how easy or hard it would be to raise the minimum $1,000 required to participate. Thanks to great generosity, I raised that amount quickly. I have now met my second goal and have raised my goal again. I would like to raise as much money as I can for this important cause. I would love to raise my goal again and again. This cause is both important to communities and close to my heart. My original message is included below. Any support, no matter how small, will help the cause and be deeply appreciated. Thanks and much gratitude, Richard
This June 28-29, I will be participating in the Out of Darkness Overnight Walk in Philadelphia, an event sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Please support me as I take an amazing journey. The Out of the Darkness Overnight Experience is a 16-18 mile walk over the course of one night. Net proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, funding research, advocacy, survivor support, education, and awareness programs – both to prevent suicide and to assist those affected by suicide. I have a commitment to raise $1,000. Any donation, however large or small, will help me towards my goal and be deeply appreciated. More importantly, donations will help prevent tragedy. Suicide has had a profound effect on my life and on the lives of many people I care about. Please help me fight it. You may share this page and information as widely as you like. Thanks and much gratitude, Richard

But he was refused by everybody, without exception. They all said, "We love you, we respect you, but we cannot take the risk of making you the prime minister because you are too clever. Our whole kingdom will be at risk. We cannot take that risk. It is according to your teachings. You have told us, 'Never allow more intelligent people than you in your court, because they will be, sooner or later, a danger to your position, to your power. They will become your competitors. Always keep a distance. Remain surrounded by mediocres.'"
Hence, every politician who is in power remains surrounded by mediocres. He finds people who are at such a distance that they cannot dream of taking away his power or his position. People who are too close are dangerous.
But such is the worldly teaching. That's why everybody has become closed. Nobody opens one's petals fearlessly like a flower, dancing in the wind, and in the rain, and in the sun.so fragile but without any fear.
We are all living with closed petals, afraid that if we open up we will become vulnerable. So everybody is using shields of all kinds - even a thing like friendliness you say you have been using as a shield. It will look contradictory, because friendliness means openness to each other, sharing each other's secrets, sharing each other's hearts.
But it is not only the case with you. Everybody is living in such contradictions. People are using friendliness as a shield, love as a shield, prayer as a shield. When they want to cry they cannot cry, they smile, because a smile functions as a shield. When they don't feel like crying they cry, because tears can function in certain situations as a shield.
I have heard about a very rich man who had a very big office. He used to come in for only one hour every day just to see that things are going well. And this was the routine he had followed all his life. He would come, go into his office, call everybody in, offer tea to everybody. He knew only three jokes, and he would tell one of the three jokes every day. And everybody had to laugh as if they were hearing it for the first time.
But one day it happened, a girl typist did not laugh. Everybody was shocked. This was insulting to the boss. What has happened to this girl?.and the boss was furious. He said, "What is the matter with you? Can't you understand the joke?"
Now, they had heard that joke thousands of times, there was no question of understanding it. The girl said, "I understood it even before you had started telling it - so that is not the question. The reason why I am not laughing is that today I am leaving the job. Now I don't have to laugh. These poor fellows have to laugh, it is their shield. I don't have to.
"For the first time I don't have to pretend that you are telling a great joke. You have told it thousands of times. But you can continue and these people will laugh every day. As far as I am concerned, I will laugh at somebody else's jokes. I am going to join another office whose boss knows a few more jokes than you know."
Our laughters are just exercises of the lips, and behind it we are hiding the truth - our tears.

If you think Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics is too advanced for you, (or at least too fast on the basic) you should take Practical Linear Algebra: A Geometry Toolbox.
The first half is about linear algebra in 2D and the other half about 3D and some pages about the curves. It's a pretty good book and it will give you an intuitive look about linear algebra with practical explanation of the maths and drawings, rather than an approach with proofs and theorems.
I found this book on http://www.realtimerendering.com/books.html (at the end).
And of course do the exercises but don't be scared, you don't need a calculator.

Soil warming alters nitrogen cycling in a New England forest: implications for ecosystem function and structure

Global climate change is expected to affect terrestrial ecosystems in a variety of ways. Some of the more well-studied effects include the biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system that can either increase or decrease the atmospheric load of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Less well-studied are the effects of climate change on the linkages between soil and plant processes. Here, we report the effects of soil warming on these linkages observed in a large field manipulation of a deciduous forest in southern New England, USA, where soil was continuously warmed 5°C above ambient for 7 years. Over this period, we have observed significant changes to the nitrogen cycle that have the potential to affect tree species composition in the long term. Since the start of the experiment, we have documented a 45% average annual increase in net nitrogen mineralization and a three-fold increase in nitrification such that in years 5 through 7, 25% of the nitrogen mineralized is then nitrified. The warming-induced increase of available nitrogen resulted in increases in the foliar nitrogen content and the relative growth rate of trees in the warmed area. Acer rubrum (red maple) trees have responded the most after 7 years of warming, with the greatest increases in both foliar nitrogen content and relative growth rates. Our study suggests that considering species-specific responses to increases in nitrogen availability and changes in nitrogen form is important in predicting future forest composition and feedbacks to the climate system.

(LPX: Quote) posted a loss in the first quarter of $14.2 million or $0.10 per share. This compares to a year-ago profit of $65.1 million or $0.45 per share.On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted loss from continuing operations was $7 million or $0.05 per share. On average, ten analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected loss per share of $0.07 for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude one-time items.Total sales in the quarter fell 16 percent to $445 million. Analysts expected the company to generate revenues of $464.78 million.Curt Stevens, CEO, said in a statement, "The severe weather across much of North America in the first quarter took a toll on building activity and logistics. The rail transportation systems in both the U.S. and Canada were in disarray in Q1, which caused unplanned downtime at our operations, increased inventory and late shipments and negatively affected our reported results."

"The red cells"
Reviewed by Anna Grace / May 03, 2013
Capture the enemy cells and save the species
Tentacle Wars is a multiplayer strategy game based on a popular flash game. The objective in Tentacle Wars is to save the species: curing the organisms by capturing the enemy cells.
The game includes 80 missions which grow in difficulty as you advance. First of all, you'll need to try out the tutorial so as to learn how to play, and once you've embraced the basics, you can begin the battle against red cells.
How to play? Draw a line from the green antibody to the red cells in order to cure them and turn them back green. Be sure to stop the connection when it's no longer necessary in order not to waste all the energy. Sometimes, when you don't have all the energy, you will need to capture neutral cells in order to travel the distance required. In order to make the game more challenging, there will be a limit of power and the red cells might attack so you need to pay attention to all the elements on the screen and think carefully but quickly about your next move.
FDG Entertainment is the developer of Tentacle Wars, a detailed and well-developed game for strategic minds. It's a fun ride but also really frustrating to play sometimes.
Intense Audiovisual Experience
Based on the popular Flash Game with 25 Million Fans
• 80 Missions in an Exceptional Campaign Mode
A contaminated alien organism is about to die... Take a deep look inside, while it launches its final defense program. Enter a microscopic world of cells, neurons and DNA tentacles. Take control of the last antibody cells and save the entire species from extinction.
• Make the Impossible Possible
You can cure the organism by capturing enemy cells. To do this, draw a line between green antibody and red enemy cells. This will launch DNA tentacles which drain energy from enemy cell cores and eventually overtake them. Keep an eye on your energy supply and boost your attacks by cutting the tentacles. Capture all enemy cells to secure a zone. Cure all zones and the life form will survive…
• Furious Enemy
Beware of an intelligent and wide awake enemy which fights back without ever giving up. You'll need to stay focused and master the art of "Tentacle War" in order to prevent the death of your host.

Awsome addictive gaming at its best
Some levels force you to use the one shot kill, that is a purchase.
Love it, great job
Very simple concept, starts out very easy but gets challenging very quickly
An excellent, if a little creepy, game. The concept is easy to grasp but does take longer to master. It runs silky smooth on my 1.5 year old device (purchased 2013) and I haven't had any issues in the 2 weeks I've been playing. Because I enjoy scoring the maximum stars per game, I see a lot of repeatability in it. One thing I haven't checked, is whether or not it requires Internet access in order
Good fun
Good game, good grapgics , good sound.

We have implemented RADIUS (IAS) with PEAP on our wireless network. It works fine for domain user accounts and when we log into a laptop as a local user account we can connect to the school network and browse.
The only problem is that the laptop continuously attempts to authenticate the local user with IAS and fails as it is not a domain user.
I have set the Computer Authentication in the IEE 802.1.x settings as "Computer Only" and this removes the problem.
Anyone know if there is a way to use "With user re-authentication" and to stop the continuous local user and IAS authentication taking place as we wish to use computer and account authentication ?.

Member since
Im six foot, 165 pounds and i was curious if the large would give me enough room or should i bump up to the XL. I definatly want some room but i dont want it falling off either
Member since
I'm just about your size and wore a large Volcom jacket from last year. I wish I had gotten the XL. The large was fine for layering and whatever, but it was too short to look cool. XL will be steezy baggy but not gigundo. So, I would guide you toward the XL but that's just me.

Dylan McDermott and Toni Collette
Simplicity can be a helpful thing for an effective thriller — and that, sadly, is an attribute CBS's overwrought, underwatched Hostages (Monday, 10/9c) lacks altogether. The more complications this show introduces, the sillier it threatens to become. It's hard to imagine a subplot of less interest than the money problems of foxy hostage-taker Sandrine ...

Alec Baldwin
In the HBO documentary Seduced and Abandoned (debuting Oct. 28), Alec Baldwin travels to the Cannes Film Festival with director James Toback to pitch an Iraq-set romance and is repeatedly told he can receive only a limited budget because he's now considered a TV star, not a movie star. So does he regret his seven seasons on 30 Rock?

What does Mike Tyson think about? Rising from a difficult childhood to global fame as the world's youngest heavyweight champion and finding notoriety outside the ring — including a 1992 rape conviction, drug abuse and the tragic loss of his 4-year-old daughter this week — the man once known as "Iron Mike" is difficult to decipher. In the documentary Tyson, director James Toback offers a striking portrayal of the icon in his own words, exploring everything from his early years with trainer Cus D'Amato, to his darker times during marital problems with Robin Givens, the ear-biting of Evander Holyfield and the three years in jail that changed him forever.
Using a split-screen style, audio looping and hands-off interview technique, Tyson is a visually compelling glimpse at an enigma. As the film goes wide in theaters, TVGuide.com spoke with Toback about his long friendship with Tyson, why he made the film at this juncture and what he thinks of the media's view of the boxing champ variably as a hero and a monster.

Someone please remind me how to stay on track!
I'm just so sick of "splurging" on things like car repairs and flea and tick meds. . . I want makeup . . . and a new dress and shoes . . . and I want to go on a long road trip to the dessert, or in the mountains . . . or anywhere that isn't a city (the last few years I always seem to end up spending my vacation time in cities - next month we are "vacationing" in Philly/NYC due to family obligations - blah).

The third of the five Mega Man entries on the Game Boy, Mega Man III (known as Rockman World 3 in Japan) gets things back on track after the oddness of Mega Man II. It helped that Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge developer Minakuchi Engineering was reinstated as the Game Boy series' developer for this and the subsequent two outings.Dr. Wily's latest scheme has seen him convert an abandoned oil rig into his latest Wily Station, and he intends to use the drilling equipment to harness the energy of the Earth's core. Mega Man is Genre Savvy enough to know that Dr. Wily likely hasn't taken up an interest in environmentally friendly energy, and sets out to stop him. In his way are eight rebuilt Robot Masters, along with Wily's second attempt at creating a Mega Man Killer, Punk.Mega Man III combines the expanded campaign from Mega Man II with the polish, execution and difficulty of Dr. Wily's Revenge, and as such is generally regarded as a better game than both of its two predecessors, albeit not quite up to the standards of the two following entries. The gameplay is pretty much identical to the NES Mega Man 4, meaning that the Charge Shot is added to Mega Man's repertoire for this outing.Robot Masters from Mega Man 3:

Coconut milk in coffee?
It seems there are alot of LCF's who put either hwc or coconut oil in their coffee. I'm wondering if there are folks who use coconut milk.
I'm looking for ways to cut back on dairy. I truly love the creaminess of HWC in my coffee, but if I can get a simliar texture from coconut milk, then maybe I'll give it a try.
Be careful if you do: different coconut milks have different carb counts.
It's what I use. It's more appetizing if I give it a whirl with a stick blender first (especially if I'm adding any cinnamon/vanilla/cocoa).
Try to use coconut milk from a can with the highest percentage of coconut (80-90%).
I open the can and put it in a jar with a tight lid. Every morning I pop the jar in the microwave for a minute, shake it good, then add it to my coffee. I enjoy the flavor very much.
I prefer coconut cream (over the coconut milk) in coffee. It's much closer to real cream and has no sugar added. It's a little pricier, but I buy it by the case on-line and get a bit of a price break (over Natural Grocers off the shelf price locally). What I use is NOT to be confused with the creme of coconut used in mixed bar drinks, which is loaded with sugar.
coconut cream oh my
who knew? this world of coconut delights grows daily.
Oh how funny, I just posted this same thing: wondering what to put in my coffee.
I used to really enjoy coconut milk with a little coconut oil and stevia. But the coconut milk I used would go bad too quickly in the refrigerator!
I've been drinking it black lately just because I've noticed problems with heavy dairy first thing in the morning, just doesn't "sit right" and I end up with too many calories at the end of the day.
Pour a can of coconut milk into a container with a lid and refrigerate it. The fatty part will rise to the surface and become solid while the milky part will stay liquid at the bottom.
Use whichever you prefer in your coffee:)
If I'm skipping breakfast, I use the solid, fattier part.
The milky part is also good in sauces or to make "cream" soups, if you don't want it in your coffee (though I love the milky part in hot tea!) :)
Pardon my ignorance but how do you know when coconut milk goes bad?
It gets moldy (I'm assuming you're talking about the type in the can - the stuff in the carton has a sell-by date).
You should always transfer the coconut milk from the can to an air tight jar (canning jar) - which extends its shelf life to about a week.
Yes...the cream or the milk from the can is best. And don't get the 'lite' one (not as 'creamy').
I use coconut milk and coconut oil in my coffee every morning to make myself a 'coconut latte'. I pour coconut milk in the bottom of my mug, heat for 30 secs (which creates some froth), add my oil, then pour coffee in and whip vigorously with a fork. You can use a frother, but I don't own one. It's delicious...but I'm thinking about adding in cinnamon or vanilla or cocoa like Pete does! Yum! Btw, I've gone completely dairy-free and have seen an amazing change in myself that I did not expect...my monthly weigh-in is Tuesday so I'll know what I've lost then.
I tried a can yesterday, first time, and the top was very hard like lard, and about halfway through the can, it was like water at the bottom. I don't understand what you mean to open the can and put it in a container and that some will get milky? I'd like to also try this in my coffee. The carbs were low in the can I bought.
It is my preference to stir it, but you don't have to. If you prefer stirred, you might have to stir a bit each time you take it out of the fridge.
I use the Whole Foods brand. They put a stabilizer in it to keep it from separating (carrageenan or something). I put it in a jar and add my sf syrup of choice and I have instant sf flavored creamer.
Google coconut cream concentrate. Best stuff in the world!!

Would track frame geo be better for backpedal stops and high bb to avoid pedal strike? Or does it not make a difference?

text: This was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. It had beautiful stop-motion animation and an amazing storyline. The underworld was a welcoming change from the world of the living. It was, ironically, MUCH livelier. Victor is a great character although he was very shy. Emily was amazing. I haven't seen this movie in a while but it was AMAZING. It had very amusing supporting characters.

Challenger Disaster
I wrote the following essay in March 1993, as a writing exercise for my freshman English class in college.

Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) was one of the most widely read spiritual writers in the first half of the 20th century. A prolific writer of letters and diaries as well as novels and spiritual works, she was a popular broadcaster, speaker and retreat leader. She was one of the most prominent Anglo-Catholics of her generation. Fascinated with the nature and meaning of mystical experiences from childhood, her classic works focused on the spiritual life. Yet as a disciple of Hugel, she came to value practical Christian service equally. For her, both the practical Martha and the mystical Mary were needed to offer perfect service to Christ. Her books continue to be widely read and studied and a thriving Evelyn Underhill Association keeps her memory and influence fully alive. Here are selected extracts from a wide variety of her writings - from her books and from less accessible sources - together with a valuable introduction and commentary.
Raymond Chapman is the author of many widely-used books of prayer and devotion including Leading Intercessions, Hear Our Prayer, and A Pastoral Prayer Book. He was a Vice-Chairman of the Prayer Book Society, Emeritus Professor of English Literature in the University of London, and a greatly loved priest in the diocese of Southwark. He died in 2013.

The two new drug scaffolds, described in a recent edition of The Journal of Biological Chemistry, offer researchers novel tools that act on a demonstrated therapeutic target, the kappa opioid receptor (KOR), which is located on nerve cells and plays a role in the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. While compounds that activate KOR are associated with positive therapeutic effects, they often also recruit a molecule known as ßarrestin2 (beta arrestin), which is associated with depressed mood and severely limits any therapeutic potential.
"Compounds that act at kappa receptors may provide a means for treating addiction and for treating pain; however, there is the potential for the development of depression or dysphoria associated with this receptor target," said Laura Bohn, a TSRI associate professor who led the study. "There is evidence that the negative feelings caused by kappa receptor drugs may be, in part, due to receptor actions through proteins called beta arrestins. Developing compounds that activate the receptors without recruiting beta arrestin function may serve as a means to improve the therapeutic potential and limit side effects."
The new compounds are called "biased agonists," activating the receptor without engaging the beta arrestins.
Research Associate Lei Zhou, first author of the study with Research Associate Kimberly M. Lovell, added, "The importance of these biased agonists is that we can manipulate the activation of one particular signaling cascade that produces analgesia, but not the other one that could lead to dysphoria or depression."
The researchers note that the avoidance of depression is particularly important in addiction treatment, where depressed mood can play a role in relapse.
The two drug candidates also have a high affinity and selectivity for KOR over other opioid receptors and are able to pass through the blood-brain barrier. Given these promising attributes, the scientists plan to continue developing the compounds.
In addition to Bohn, Lovell and Zhou, other authors of the study, "Development of Functionally Selective, Small Molecule Agonists at Kappa Opioid Receptors," include Angela M. Phillips, John M. Streicher, Edward Stahl, Cullen L. Schmid, Michael D. Cameron, Peter Hodder and Franck Madoux of The Scripps Research Institute; the chemistry was led by Kevin J. Frankowski, Stephen R. Slauson, Thomas E. Prisinzano and Jeffrey Aubé of the University of Kansas. For more information on the study, see http://www.jbc.org/content/288/51/36703This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grant R01 DA031927).

America is an outstandingly dangerous place. Consider this: every year in New Hampshire a dozen or more people are killed crashing their cars into moose. Now correct me if I am wrong, but this is not something that is likely to happen to you on the way home from Sainsbury's.William Cullen Bryant
That the General Assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of this State, against every aggression either foreign or domestic ... That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.James Madison

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air ñ that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value.

Activism With The People's Eloquence: Ain't All About Rand, AJ, Or AK; How About Writing Our Reps More Often On The Big Picture?Submitted by Cyril on Sat, 05/25/2013 - 02:46
Dear True Americans, fellow Daily Paulers,
I guess it's a very simple point I'd like to make:
I noticed how much verve and eloquence (or just... being opinionated) we can be on the Daily Paul, on various occasions, in reaction to this or that event, to this or that news.
It occurred to me that it might be a good idea, and likely the time of a dire need to transform and redirect (if only a bit of) our writing eloquence energy, sometimes prone to dividing us, into something more "productive" when we can (hopefully).
The title of this post says it all, in fact.
But if I had to elaborate a bit, let's put it that way:
My strong, firm belief of the present (2011 ~ 2013), after so many red pills taken, is we are now very likely living times where it becomes more and more critically important to RECALL the people's representatives that (contrary to what some of them certainly secretly wish for) We, The People, precisely, haven't been dumbed down as low as they might think or fear.
It also ought to be, ideally, an opportunity, not to boost their ego, but to boost their own determination to keep standing for us, like senator Cruz - to name just one - has been doing recently, on particularly sensitive topics (read: more threatened people's rights!)
That, We, The People, also CARE about this country's foundations A HELL OF A LOT MORE than they are possibly neglecting to notice.
Thus, I believe it is indeed the time TO PUSH AT THEM FIRMLY - IN WRITINGS - REGULARLY, what WE, YOU, I consider as THE FACTS STRAIGHT that they better NOT LOSE SIGHT OF, on what's going on in this country, if they have any plans to save ANYTHING OF THEIR OWN NAMES' FUTURE POSTERITY (... unlike the traitors you may not even bother writing to... your pick / your choice, sure).
Here's a recent example if you're a bit dry on the tone you might use, and to get yourself started:
Open Letter To Senator Ted Cruz
but it's just me, of course, just an example; it is all up to you to figure out about the tone you want to use to convey your concerns and... determination TO KEEP YOUR RIGHTS.
Anyway, more than eloquence or harshness of the tone, and whenever possible, I'd recommend expressing yourself AS UNEQUIVOCALLY AS YOU CAN, in firmness, and with the hardest facts which concern you most - on whichever topics you'll have decided to wake them up TO YOUR DETERMINATION of rejecting further lies and deceptions, once again.
Just an idea.
For liberty.
