Among the battles we face as liberals and progressives: we're going to have to take back and strengthen and rehabilitate a WHOLE BUNCH of terms that have been smeared with shit for 30 years and made to look bad and un-American and un-patriotic and even, incredibly, un-Christian. "Labor" is one of them. Organized labor has become a compound dirty word. And organized labor is what made this country the country that it is - where people around the world see opportunity for all. When the rich control everything - there's only opportunity for the few. Organized labor helps level the playing field. It's the ONLY thing that offers the non-rich a chance to gain a little ground and move up. And it's been SOOOOOOooooooo demonized and vilified and smeared and besmirched. It's a damn shame. We need to take that concept back and start rebranding it as the positive concept it actually is.

And add a little American Flag with the top two lines.

(8,267 posts)and the inaction of millions of fear-based human beings, whose eyes glaze over when anyone attempts to discuss economic issues, like the fact that--on a planet crowded with more than seven billion people--less than 400 people own and control more than 45% of this planet's resources.
Interesting, isn't it, watching humanity hurtling toward our extinction event?
