This is so important to share! So I lifted it from: The List Univers Go here to give them some support! 

NOTE: Some readers may find the text and images on this list disturbing.

For most readers, the biggest troubles in their lives are petrol prices, long working hours, and increasing food costs. For many women in the world, these are the least of their concerns. Terrible atrocities are committed against untold numbers of women around the world every day and for most of these women, justice will never be served.

Well history says differently, alas we have not learn from it. How long will we the people let the current administration get away with breaking the law? Isn't it time to impeach Bush & Co.?

June 17, 1972

In the early morning five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. They had been hired by President Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP) to install bugging devices and copy documents.

Considering the cost of fuel and environmental impact of personalized transportation I believe we need to examen our way of travel.

The Scottish Socialist Party ’s campaign for free public transport is an ``audacious, eye-catching idea'' according to Douglas Fraser, political editor of The Herald newspaper.

Watch the campaign video

In the Belgian city of Hasselt, which covers an area double the size of Dundee, congestion was eliminated in the late 1980s after the introduction of a totally free public transport system.

 June 28, 2000: Gov. George W. Bush of Texas said today that if he was president, he would bring down gasoline prices through sheer force of personality.

"I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply and I will use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot."

"Ours is a nation that helped Kuwait and the Saudis, and you'd thinkwe'd have the capital necessary to convince them to increase the crude supplies."

Green is the Conservatives' new favorite color in Germany

The Conservatives’ New Favorite Color; An alliance of Germany’s Christian Democrats and the Greens
suggests a potentially radical political realignment

Stefan Theil | Newsweek International | 05.26.2008

 While the future effects of global warming are still hotly debated, the one very real thaw it has already produced is between the world’s environmentalists and their foes on the political right. Think John McCain’s embrace of the climate-change issue, or the greening of Britain’s Tories under their leader, David Cameron. The latest ice to break is between Germany’s once radical, antiestablishment Green Party and their erstwhile archenemy, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats (CDU). In a formerly unthinkable and possibly far-reaching realignment of German politics, conservatives and the Green Party have been entering alliances in local and regional parliaments, creating new power options for both parties—and a laboratory for breaking the logjam that has paralyzed German politics.

AMERICA WAITS FOR CLINTON TO FUCK OFF

The Democratic Party's Primaries are over and we got a winner! Now someone tell Mrs. Clinton.

AMERICA was waiting with bated breath last night as Hillary Clinton signalled she may be about to fuck off.

Sources close to the New York senator suggested she is now ready to pick a date to concede the election, and has already pencilled-in April 23rd, 2017.

But senior Democrats are urging the the former first lady to just fuck off the minute she wakes up. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "Finally. Jesus.

"I told her to give up about two months ago, then again about three weeks ago. Eventually I had to send her a postcard which just said 'FUCK OFF' in big capital letters."

Pelosi's intervention led to an avalanche of postcards from across the country as thousands of ordinary Americans implored Senator Clinton to fuck off urgently.

This story made me smile a lot today so I thought I would share it.

Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation

         That's Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation sitting all alone there.

 

"A couple of college students in Toronto took offense at the patent absurdity of the "Bible and Bible Studies" section of a large bookstore at Yonge and Eglinton, and decided to help organize the shelves by filing their contents more appropriately.

They quietly moved the contents to other places in the bookstore, like Fiction, Humor, Sexuality, Erotica, Cuisine, Parenting, Mental Disorder, Parapsychology and the Occult. Then they sent me a photo of the end result."

Thank you Canada for reminding us that fiction should be treated as such.!

How much is the life of a farm worker worth?

How much is the life of a farm worker worth?
Is it less than the life of any other human being?

On May 14, the official temperature was 95 degrees; it was even hotter inside the wine grape vineyard owned by West Coast Grape Farming, east of Stockton, where Maria and her fiancé, Florentino Bautista, worked. Maria had been working for nine hours.

At 3:40 p.m. Maria became dizzy. She didn’t know where she was and didn’t recognize Florentino. Maria passed out. Florentino helplessly held her in his arms.

There was no water for the workers from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. When water arrived, it was a 10-minute walk from where Maria was working, too far to access. There was no shade or training for foremen and workers about what to do if someone became ill from the heat—as required by law.

Will the Democrats ever cut our bloated military budget?

An expanding military budget taxpayers can't afford by Bernie Sanders

 Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

 -President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953.

America's most colorful third party could use some attention — and some cash.

By Deirdra Funcheon

Published on May 15, 2008

You might not know it from watching TV or listening to the radio, but a local landowner recently bulldozed a community garden, a power plant is set to be constructed between two wildlife refuges in the Everglades, and there are still four candidates from the Green Party running for president of the United States of America. Frustrated by the lack of media attention toward issues it feels are important, the Palm Beach County chapter of the Green Party in March hatched the idea of launching an internet radio station. On April 25, a Friday just weeks after the idea had been pitched, about 30 people gathered at the Little Owl Bar in Lake Worth. Their goal: to raise $1,000 to buy a mixer — a piece of broadcasting equipment for the station. In sustainable style, the fundraiser was a vegetarian potluck.
