What the hell does the government think they are doing by arresting people for sitting on a public sidewalk? I cannot believe more people are not commenting about how those police think they are in the right for making a peaceful demonstration against the actions of the government break up BY ARRESTING PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING!! Agree with them or NOT we have the right to let the government know we disapprove of their crap get rich decision making!

@estrangeddimensions cool. but i think that we have got to get away from coal all together not just a ruse to make it seem green. like gasoline with ethanol. noticed how that just about all gasoline u buy now is made up of 10% ethanol yet we are still hooked on gasoline and paying gasoline prices. it has to be viable alternative. not just lip service.

@hawkerdoo Try to stop the internal dialogue. You cannot sustain silence, because if you could, you would be free, and you are not. Your internal dialogue will only stop when you die. But then, you won't have any time left to figure out what to do. You will lose the game. Analise your internal dialogue. It's not you talking... Try to silence your mind and get to know the creature that uses you like cattle...

@hawkerdoo "I beg to differ that you or I have to bow down to the mind". You still don't get it. Look, you think you own your mind, right? You don't, because the internal dialogue never stops. If your mind was really yours, you would be able to shut off the internal dialogue as you please. Can you? I'll answer that to you: you simply cannot stop the internal dialogue inside your head. Try it. It's impossible, because the creature running the show keeps the words flowing.
