Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Republican budget is immoral
So says Jim Wallis, the above will "roll back tax credits for the poor to help fund tax breaks for the
rich" and "is morally reprehensible, and the faith community has to speak out." The earned income tax credit and the child tax credit are being drastically reduced. He agrees that reducing deficits is moral as well, but how we do it is what determines the overall morality of a budget. And by taking from the poor to give to the rich is entirely backward as to how morality is supposed to work. To not speak out and fight such immorality is tantamount to tacitly supporting it.
