Detroit’s financial criminals leave evidence the size of a hockey stadium
" if you want to argue on the merits that reneging on the retirement promises to public employees is good and moral public policy – fine, go ahead and try to make that argument on the supposed merits... but enacting those cuts under the guise of fiscal necessity while
simultaneously handing out huge subsidies to already-wealthy corporate
campaign contributors is a whole other matter."

Coke™ vs. Pepsi©
“Republican or Democrat, this nation's affluent urban and suburban
classes understand their bread is buttered on the corporate side. The
primary difference between the two parties is that the Republicans
pretty much admit that they grasp and even endorse some of the nastiest
facts of life in America. Republicans honestly tell the world: "Listen
in on my phone calls, piss-test me until I'm blind, kill and eat all of
my neighbors right in front of my eyes, but show me the money! Let me
escape with every cent I can kick out of the suckers, the taxpayers, and
anybody else I can get a headlock on, legally or otherwise." Democrats,
in contrast, seem content to catalog the GOP's outrages against the
Republic, showing proper indignation while laughing at episodes of The
Daily Show. But they stand behind the American brand: imperialism. They
"support our troops," though you will be hard put to find any of them
who have served alongside them or who would send one of their own kids
off to lose an eye or an arm in Iraq. They play the imperial game,
maintain their credit ratings, and plan to keep the beach house and the
retirement investments if it means sacrificing every damned Lynndie
England in West Virginia.”― Joe Bageant, (Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War)
Won't Wash Off
Simply put some WHITE CARNATIONS into a jar/vase of water with a generous amount of GREEN FOOD COLORING overnight or a few hours. Then display... for all to see. Ask people to wash off the coloring. They can't! Point made. This is the same for any pesticide that is applied on the roots or on the leaves of trees and plants. This includes all insecticides and pesticides - even Round-Up!

Coal Kills
"When you think about Superstorm Sandy, melting ice caps, wildfires in Australia, drought in the Southwest, floods in Pakistan, climate refugees from Bangladesh, dying polar bears and species you've never heard of, increased rates of asthma, and farmland that can no longer be farmed — think coal."
