The direct tie of Civil Rights with Economic Rights strikes at the core of Quality of Life, which is plainly stated in the Constitution in "among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Economic rights equate to the ability for any man/woman to obtain secure employment and if that man/woman has been denied the right to equal employment then it is the responsibility of the Government (State and Federal) to insure that those individuals, regardless of circumstances, are protected and treated fairly.

I've been a Van Jones "fan" since I heard you speak at Bioneers six or seven years ago. I was so excited when you became part of Obama's new administration, and so incredibly disappointed when you were drummed out. They must have been threatened by the fact that you actually want to make a difference!! That was the beginning of the end for me in believing in Obama. But now I see you becoming more involved with the mainstream media. I truly hope this is an effort to get the questions that need to be asked out there, and a way to get your ideas out to a wider audience. Yet once you become more enmeshed in a role in CNN, will you be coerced into selling out? Sure hope not.

I find it so outrageous that the video of an alleged chemical weapons attack is being used to rally support for war. Enough already.

UGH.  The Huffington Post has an article up about the NSA being able to crack into Blackberry, Android and iPhone encryption.  I can't even believe how long this scandals been going on for. BERLIN -- The U.S. National Security Agency is able to crack protective measures on iPhones, BlackBerry and Android devices, giving it access to users' data on all major smartphones, according to a report Sunday in German news weekly Der Spiegel. The magazine cited internal documents from the NSA and its British counterpart GCHQ in which the agencies describe setting up dedicated teams for each type of phone as part of their effort to gather intelligence on potential threats such as terrorists.
