Open Veins: A parable.
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2011/10/parable.html
And, finally, after he makes a counter-suit and several calls to newspapers and the city, they send a plumber, and he appears and says, What do you want me to do? The man replies, Uh, fix that big leak. Yeah, but how? Asks the plumber. If you can’t tell me how you want me to fix the leak, what do you expect me to do? The man looks at him and says: I don’t need to know how to fix the leak. All I need to know is that the floor is wet and you are the plumber. Posted by Jeremy Goren at 1:01 PM.

Open Veins: Final Words In This World
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2008/11/final-words-in-this-world.html
Final Words In This World. Yet this need for transparency must extend beyond candidate vetting and campaign finances. It must infuse the White House. And only one of the two campaigns has shown anything other than wretched disregard for transparency, truthfulness and human decency - and it's not the one that once touted itself as the Straight-Talk Express, an engine than long ago went off the rails. America deserves better. In a few hours, we, the great, brash American experiment will launch ourselves on...

Open Veins: Who Are the 99%?: a return to vitality
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2011/10/who-are-99-return-to-vitality.html
Who Are the 99%? A return to vitality. Most of us have done our best to ignore them or discredit them Who are they? What do they want? What are their demands? The point is not: What is their structure? Who is the leader? What is his five-year plan? What will they really accomplish? Can we by pure accumulation of mass, change the gravity field that currently pins us down? Yes, I understand this is how government often works, but let’s not make it so easy for them, alright? New York, New York.

Open Veins: Republican Off The Rails
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2008/09/republican-off-rails.html
Republican Off The Rails. I just woke up nauseous and panicked from a nightmare - what I thought was only a nightmare at first. Then I remembered it could be real. In it, I saw hundreds of screaming people lining a small roadway, waving (poorly-made) signs, begging the candidates to stop their campaigns and fix the economy. Do we really need Mr. McCain trying to dig us out of financial crisis that was already visibly underway when he was telling us "the fundamentals of the economy are still strong"?

Open Veins: Kol Nidre Occupies Wall Street
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2011/10/kol-nidre-occupies-wall-street.html
Kol Nidre Occupies Wall Street. This past Friday hundreds of people gathered on Liberty Street in downtown Manhattan - right across Broadway from Occupy Wall St. - and held a religious ceremony, one mandated by their tradition and conjoined by them with the protest across the street. This article in The Forward. Reflects the event very well - the most communal and positive and still serious service I've perhaps ever attended, the most honest and vital as well. For failing to defend Israel. Occupy Sukkot ...

Open Veins: If you see something, say something.
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2011/10/if-you-see-something-say-something.html
If you see something, say something. As the Occupy movement continues to grow and to spread, we see the growth also of a kind of intangible value to the protests, what stands side-by-side, almost invisibly, with the declared demands and causes, what underlies perhaps the most important facet of the uprisings' significance: The appearance of true and widespread dissent in the United States of America. A very clear piece. That has never been our creed, though it has often, if not always, been our practice.

Open Veins: Sloppy Democracy: A Tale of Election Woe
http://jeremygoren.blogspot.com/2008/11/sloppy-democracy-tale-of-election-woe.html
Sloppy Democracy: A Tale of Election Woe. They're trying to keep out votes out," he said, half-yelling. "But that's okay. The black man is still gonna win. White man trying it again.". This rattled me. Then I stepped to the table. He's in the wrong place. He should be at 15.". The information table sent me here.". She'll take you over to the front of the line.". After two people were processed another poll worker approached the table. The computer fixed now? Seems to be.". And is it even working? I stepp...
