I have 3 articles for your perusal this morning.
First, an accurate treatise on the state of ‘we the people’ in this country:
So Long, Liberty: 10 Ways Americans Have Lost Their Rights
Our most fundamental rights-to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness-are under assault. But the adversary is Big Wealth, not Big Government, as conservatives like to claim…

Second: Ahhhh BP, the gift that just keeps giving to the Gulf area:
Scientists Discover Huge ‘Bathtub Ring’ Of Oil On Sea Floor From BP Spill
Scientists have discovered yet another unforeseen effect of BP’s historic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico: a 1,235-square-mile “bathub ring” of oil on the deep ocean’s floor.
And finally, Chris Kluwe’s scathing rant regarding Gamergate, which is well deserved imo:
Why #Gamergaters Piss Me The F*** Off
Dear #Gamergaters,
Do you know why you piss me the fuck off?
Because you’re lazy. You’re ignorant. You are a blithering collection of wannabe Wikipedia philosophers, drunk on your own buzzwords, incapable of forming an original thought. You display a lack of knowledge stunning in its scope, a fundamental disregard of history and human nature so pronounced that makes me wonder if lead paint is a key component of your diet. You think you’re making piercing arguments when, in actuality, you’re throwing a temper tantrum that would embarrass a three-year-old.
So how you doin’? 😀
