http://www.ted.com We feel instinctively that societies with huge income gaps are somehow going wrong. Richard Wilkinson charts the hard data on economic inequality, and shows what gets worse when rich and poor are too far apart: real effects on health, lifespan, even such basic values as trust.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.co....

http://www.ted.com In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.

Matt Taibbi talking about OWS and 'Occu-Spy' with Keith Olbermann, 2/29/12.
Also see Taibbi's teach-in from 2/29/12 here -- http://www.youtub... ...
...and go to 'Occupy Wall Street News and Videos' here: http://paper.li/f... -- a daily paper to keep up with and support OWS movement!
Thanks! -Munderlarkst (Note: if you subscribe to 'Occupy Wall Street News and Videos' it will send you and new edition daily via e-mail so you can keep updated with what's going on. Thanks!)
Above video -- Wouldn't know it from watching mainstream news, but what Taibbi says about Occupy growing and being more organized and targeted seems true to me, too.
Still need to have bigger protests, however -- always PEACEFUL -- 'actively' using CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE and PASSIVE RESISTANCE.
A good issue that can rally A LOT of people behind it and get people into the streets, including unions -- which is crucial -- is raising the minimum wage to $10, as suggested by Chris Hedges and Ralph Nader in this article -- http://www.truthd... -- please read!
Also, see this new video about using civil disobedience at OWS protest -- http://www.youtub... .
Thanks! -Munderlarkst
