+ Democracy Now! offers "Dr. Gabor Maté on ADHD, Bullying and the Destruction of American Childhood". This is a very interesting interview. He believes peers are now far more influential than parents. This is NOT healthy.
+ TruthDig offers "Fail and Grow Rich on Wall Street" by Robert Scheer.
It begins: "Welcome to the brave new world of post-bailout capitalism. The Commerce Department announced Tuesday that corporate profits are at their highest level in U.S. history, and the Fed released minutes of an early November meeting in which officials predicted a stagnant economy and continued high unemployment."
It ends: "What has occurred is what former International Monetary Fund chief economist Simon Johnson referred in The Atlantic back in May of 2009 as 'The Quiet Coup,' in which the financial industry is fully in charge of the government’s response to our economic problems. The result, he noted, is 'the reemergence of an American financial oligarchy' that had been broken by the banking regulations imposed during the New Deal in response to the Great Depression. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s sensible regulations were gutted by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and tragically Obama has failed to restore them. The Wall Street lobbyists got their way and unfettered greed prevails. How else to explain last quarter’s outrageous profit figures?"
+ I am continuing this week's focus on the spiritual practice of solitude as I update "Joyful Wandering -- 6."
+ Shuck and Jive offers "If the Oil Runs Out: Peak Oil Film Set In 2016". John Shuck, my favorite blogger, continues to educate us on the crisis of peak oil which many believe has been reached. If they are right, the oil will get more expensive quite rapidly and our fragile oil-based economy is in for a lot of turmoil to say the least.
