The app you came up with is a good idea. I haven't seen anything exactly like that, but I have a few that are similar. "GoodGuide" will let...
Thanks, I’ll look those up. Most apps available to Americans are not available globally. Australia (where I am) is usually amongst the last to get to the cool stuff.

I honestly don’t know how feasible this is, but it’s an app I know I need. And all the folks who quietly support the Occupy movement need.
I’m tentatively calling it “How Evil Is That?”.
It’s a smart app, able to recognise products and logos from a photograph or an image it takes, much like a code-square scanner. Once it recognises the product [or logo] it searches a database or databases of

The real point of Gridle$$ as a means of protest is this:
We are not giving money to any corporation.
We are no longer buying their bullshit. In any form.
If we’re paid, we’re keeping our pay. We’re giving it to actual people who worked to produce the things we need.
We are not buying petrol/gasoline to run our cars because we have bikes. That we repair ourselves.
We are not buying fashionable brand clothing

We don’t “need” to fight the police. They are part of the 99%. They are a part that has been mislead, and deceived, and hasn’t woken up, yet. By fighting the police, the 99% are fighting themselves. Nothing good can come of that.
The right-wing media would love you to fight. It’s what they want. They need the “if it bleeds it leads” headlines to justify belittling the Occupy movement as a

I understand your right to stand up for what you believe in. I’m all for it.
However, I believe you are labouring under some false ideas masquerading as good intentions.
If you believe that an individual has the right to freedom of speech…
If you believe that an individual has the right to peacefully assemble when they believe things are going wrong…
If you believe that an individual has the right to find work where they want to

Why Bipartisan Politics Fails
Put succinctly: they spend too much time fighting and not enough getting shit done.
I don’t follow American Politics very closely. I can’t tell the difference at a glance between Republican and Democrat. All I know is one lot (generally) cheats on their spouses and the other lot (generally) embezzles from public funds.
Back in the days before corporations could buy politicians, the folks you elected were supposed to represent their electorate based on what the majority desired.

Honestly, it is in your best interests. I’ve read people saying that it’s time to take up arms like the Tea Party, etc.
No.
Just plain no.
The best way to outline the violence is to remain peaceful. Carry nothing more harmful than a placard. Beat nothing but drums or your own chest. Throw nothing but invective.
Let the people see that you are unarmed. That you are not harming anyone.
Be prepared for the idea that yes,

On Oakland
So, last night I found out fascism was alive and well and living in the Oakland PD.
As a concerned cogniscent being, I went searching for news. Livestreams, anything that was happening that wasn’t being blocked, DOS'ed, or removed.
My 10YO son came shoulder-surfing and asked what was going on.
I had to explain what was happening in America right that moment. I showed him swarms of police decked out in riot gear for a couple of guys singing and
