Mary Beth Maxwell on "Why Can't America Have Human Rights?"

[grandmachristine42]

When I see that it is at Riverside Church, I know it's going to be righteous.

[VAMPIREBIRDIE]

Look to the disco era as to why Americans and Australians cannot enjoy human rights!

How bout... 8 years as Barack Obama's Sec. of Labor...

Then in 2016 she could run for President and become America's first woman/LGBT President or at least be a powerful eye-opening candidate.

She's a terrific speech giver... WOW.

US Secretary of Labor Mary Beth Maxwell has a good ring to it!!!!

[strategyminded]

"Openly gay"??? You'd never know unless someone told you.

I like what she says.

[prajnasword]

OMG, she is fierce! I would love for her to be the next Secretary of Labor.

[berkeleygirl1962]

Mary Beth Maxwell for Secretary of Labor!

[popgyrl]

She would be so awesome!

Good stories? ABOUT WHAT? Losing your rights at work?

That is like asking for a good story about Guantanamo.

It is all the same systemaic attack to lower our standards, our expectations, our sense of power, etcetc.

Removing any rights in this day and age is not good. Its not intelligent and it is not for our benefit.

Since 2001 Australians have lost more rights than the USA and the UK.

There are bad stories, but there are good stories too. How come we don't here about those?

[strategyminded]

Because your ears are stopped up. All that you heard were "good stories" during the Bush years, because they covered up the truth.

[chanticorae]

because the good stories don't make the bad ones better. workers being treated well doesn't make workers being treated poorly elsewhere any less criminal.
