THE FULCRUM: Taking To The Streets?
http://thefulcrum.blogspot.com/2010/08/taking-to-streets.html
Tilting the world a little more to the left. Wednesday, August 04, 2010. Taking To The Streets? By Bill McKibben is worth the read. Why aren't more people enraged by the lack of progress on Global Warming? McKibben lays out 3 things that need to be done to move forward in a meaningful way on what is literally a life and death issue. One of those things is that we're going to have to get loud; we may have to get arrested. His last paragraph:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Tilting the world a little more to the left. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Dick Tufeld with The Robot. I remember rushing home from school in the late 60's so that I could catch "Lost in Space". On the local UHF TV station. The early episodes were in black and white and the later ones were in the gaudy, over-saturated colors of the 1960's. That was the long way to get to the point that I just found out that the voice of the robot, Dick Tufeld. Danger, Will Robinson! Farewell, Dick Tufeld. Farewell, Robot.

Tilting the world a little more to the left. Tuesday, February 07, 2012. Millions Pushed Into Child Labor in US. Of the headline right off of the MSNBC site; but given Newt's recent comments and the general hatred on the right for any kind of social contract it could be true some day here as well. The real headline: " Millions pushed into child labor in Pakistan. And if you think it sounds Dickensian, well. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Alas, a Blog.

Tilting the world a little more to the left. Monday, March 19, 2012. The media, especially those who claim to be experts in financial matters, like to say that the markets don't like "uncertainty," I think they are wrong. Some investors don't like uncertainty, but that creates opportunities for other investors. All-in-all, as usual, the big players win. The rest of us? We are the ones who really. We are left with uncertainty. As a microcosm of that take my wife and I. You want to talk about uncertainty?

THE FULCRUM: Life Aint Fair
http://thefulcrum.blogspot.com/2012/01/life-aint-fair.html
Tilting the world a little more to the left. Friday, January 27, 2012. Conservatives are upset at the number of references to "fair" in the SOTU speech. "Life's not fair! They claim. On that very narrow point, I agree with them. But here's where their argument falls apart. When only the government has the resources to reach all of those in need, even then their feeding of a hungry child is evil? The height of irony is that most of the hardcore conservatives I know are far, far from what I consider the st...

THE FULCRUM: My Creative Side
http://thefulcrum.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-creative-side.html
Tilting the world a little more to the left. Friday, March 09, 2012. If you've visited here for long enough you know that I've occasionally posted photographs. Photography has become quite important in my life; maybe someday I'll make a business of it. But for now, I do it for fun, for relaxation and to scratch that creative "itch" I've had all my life. In any case, go visit my new photo blog, it's called Robot Retina. You will do it much better for fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Alas, a Blog.

THE FULCRUM: Let's Try This Again...

Tilting the world a little more to the left. Friday, January 27, 2012. Let's Try This Again. News of my demise is greatly. The last time I wrote an "I'm back! Post, I really thought I'd be able to keep up with The Fulcrum again. The job I found, and worked at for nearly a year and a half, wound up taking almost literally all of my time. Working 10 hour days was common; weekends too. Even holidays were not safe from it's reach. Let's see how it goes! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Alas, a Blog.

THE FULCRUM: Religious Right?
http://thefulcrum.blogspot.com/2012/09/religious-right.html
Tilting the world a little more to the left. Thursday, September 13, 2012. So how did that all go so wrong? The Republican Party has become the party of the white, wealthy elite; that is self obvious. And yet, through the tactics I mentioned above they have captured the reactionary religious factions of the deep south and in a fair bit of the rest of the country. Getting these folks to consistently vote against their own and their children's best interests. But why? And it scares the hell out of me.
