| There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.

US is Tax Free for B of A
Reprint from US UNCUT Daily Kos Site:
On Friday, the San Francisco branch of US Uncut temporarily took over the San Francisco branch of Bank of America.
This is what happened:
<
Now we want you to do the same thing, with or without musical accompaniment – and we’re going to tell you how.
As the video says, the government claims we’re broke, and is slashing necessities for working and retired Americans. Meanwhile, corporate tax cheats like Bank of America and GE rake in billions in profit – and pay back zero in taxes.
Something’s wrong here – and tomorrow, on Tax Day 2011, Americans are going to stand as one and point it out.
We currently have over 100 actions planned for tomorrow. Click here to find your local US Uncut action. Not seeing one nearby that works for you? Then start your own – it’s SUPER easy.
Tomorrow, let’s show the powers that be that Americans are seriously opposed to cutting schools, firefighters, police, healthcare, job creation…and seriously in favor of corporations actually paying their taxes.
Thank you,
The US Uncut Team
P.S. You can learn more here about how the San Francisco action was planned and carried out.

| You spoke about things they couldn’t see and so they laughed. Yet to row up the dark river against the current, to take the unknown road blindly, stubbornly, and to search for words rooted like the knotted olive tree- let them laugh. And to yearn for the other world to inhabit today’s suffocating loneliness, this ravaged present- let them be. –George Seferis |

Equal Pay Requires Specific Strategies
An occasion marked perfunctorily, but rarely beyond it by much of the media, yesterday was Equal Pay Day. The day was so named to underscore how far into the calendar year it takes women to equal their male colleagues regarding income, which is well over four months. Even when mentioned at all, few networks felt it necessary to spell out precisely how this inequality manifests itself, nor wished to show the persistent adversity faced by women who challenge established ways. That would have required in-depth analysis and a panel of talking heads, which may have shed some light on the topic, though not necessarily. Accordingly, it is a bit of an understatement to reduce the challenges that face women by referring to one, singular glass ceiling. In reality, there are many glass ceilings. Some of them are higher than others, and each of them has to be shattered in different ways. Every industry has its own standards and historical gender makeup, and so strategies to equalize income between men and women will need to reflect this.

| If you’re extraordinary, you don’t have to be ordinary. But it isn’t easy. You have to work, learn, learn some more, and be the best at what you do-whatever it happens to be. And you have to keep that thick skin, because all the people who sold out and played the game are going to resent you for succeeding on your own terms.
