Beyond the images and into my mind.
Views, Politics, Thoughts
This page is on the LEFT for a reason. Progressive thoughts dominate my mind.
Alway let them know where you are coming from politically, it save in the confussion that will surely follow. I am as Liberal as they come, Hippie Johny as some keep calling me (though the song Hippie Jonny is not like me).
Walmart, I am there to try and get people to shop elsewhere. Fair labor, local job loss due to over seas purchasing, local economy drain, lower wages, these are all what the Mart stores bring.
WAR, this really gets me going. I was in the military so I hear "why don't you support our troops" a ****ing lot. My support is to bring them all home...ALIVE. I lost most of my military friends in the first Gulf War, they were a communications unit targeted by a SCUD, nuf said, moving on.
SOCIAL JUSTICE, if you don't know about this you need to. It is about being fair to everyone, everywhere and not making exceptions. A fair wage for a product, a living wage for workers, fair treatment of workers, and living by this. Hard to do, but worth it.
last one for now
FAIRTRADE. This is a concept of buying products that the people that made them are paid a living wage, the products also need to be enviromentally sustainible (or recycled), grown with natural techniques (e.g. Organic), and help the community where it comes from.
