Free Copies of An Inconvenient Truth— Get 'Em While They're Hot!
A couple of weeks ago, the National Science Teachers Association refused a donation of copies of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, lest its factually challenged donors, such as Exxon, were offended. Now, Participant Productions, the film's distributor, is giving away 50,000 copies to teachers who sign up here. And, via BoingBoing, we learn that the guys who run the less-than-educational website, HotOrNot have pitched in $25K to help get the effort off the ground. And if you want to oggle and do good, there's always Al Gore's Hot or Not page.

It is agreed that our present system of government cannot and will not be reformed by our existing leaders. They are too entrenched, too corrupt, and to pathetic to reform themselves. My friend in Arkansas reminds me of this often.

Get ‘er Done
Conservative ideology has been used to corrupt and subvert our once upon a time egalitarian society bequeathed us by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Inspired by the Great Depression, Roosevelt and Democrats gave us the New Deal to right the wrongs inflicted on us by the Plutocracy throughout our history. That’s all over now.
Institutionalized corruption has replaced democracy by becoming the very essence of our government. Our elected leaders have become criminal entrepreneurs pursuing their own self-interest for the greater good of the Plutocracy.
Now we have two political parties that essentially serve the same master, the Plutocracy.
Impeachment of the Bush Regime is off the table because the Plutocrats have decreed it.
Any investigations by the remaining honorable lawmakers in our government into the multitude of crimes committed by the Bush Regime will be sabotaged just like the Iran Contra Investigations. Not only will the Bush Regime escape justice for past crimes, they will be free to commit future crimes against the American people, and the world.
When once a republic is corrupted there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption . . . every other correction is either useless or a new evil.
- Thomas Jefferson
Our present system of government cannot and will not be reformed by our existing leaders. Democracy can only be restored by establishing new political parties, or by force of arms. Perhaps it will require both.
