We are crushed under the weight of CORPORATE WELFARE which comes in many forms, from WAR, protectionist policies, patents, Tax breaks, loopholes (i.e. ENRON LOOPHOLE) the list is ENDLESS! They come up with new forms of Corporate Welfare every day!

STOP CORPORATE WELFARE
stop corruption!

Demand Oversight, Transparency and Accountability!
lets start with WAR CRIMES TRIALS, tax evasion, wall street investigations & crimes committed by our Government!

I prefer George Lakoff's presentation of the use of cognitive policy to establish a moral framing on a wide scale for the purpose of developing support for a commons-rooted governance system. I'm referring to his chapter on cognitive policy in "The Political Mind." This production communicates its messages effectively, and I'll continue to research into the organizations involved.

Henry George pointed out over a century ago that the market value of the earth, its land and all its natural resources, is created 100% by the community as a whole and not by it "owners". This means that all land value is the commons even though the land itself can be privately owned. Private ownership of the earth for exclusive use makes sense but land value belongs to the community and should be taken back 100% via taxation to pay for community services all of which make land more valuable.

OH, YES!!!

Please keep this information coming. Capitalism and Government have become so corrupt that people are ready for this knowledge and will soon be willing to implement it.

You might be interested in my video: Mystical Anarchy.

Inspired creativity with this video.

I think the point of the Commons gets lost in over demonstrating the importance of access to clean water. Perhaps a shorter tighter version?

Remember that the last 30 years or so has been dedicated to the REMOVAL of the commons. Privatization has been done at a terrifying pace with the red herring that government is inept. Now we have seen that the very advocates of privatization are themselves inept, but they hold lock and key on the commons: Govt, Great Lakes, Mountain Tops, Amber Waves of Grain... get it? Not JUST creative commons, but virtualy everything we enjoy... Peace.
