He is particularly known for his commentaries on the nature of individualism, citizenship and the public good; the failures of managerially/technocratically led societies; the confusion between leadership and managerialism; military strategy, in particular irregular warfare; the role of freedom of speech and culture; and his critique of contemporary economic arguments

Have you ever sat back and thought about the IDEA of a "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE" and a "CONSTITUTION?"

The United States Constitution ROCKS!! We have soooo many RIGHTS that we CAN EXCERSIZE in America (we need a few amendments, tho). :)

I think it is a Duty to excersize our Political Rights. I have a duty to be involved politically. This is called Civic Duty.

There has long been a debate over weather global warming is real or not.

Don't worry Americans, you're not that stupid. You are clearly very stupid but you are not that stupid, you never elected George W. Bush.

FOX News... The media... I believe I may have already made my point on this particular incident.

Being the debate lover that I am, I found myself early this morning - drowsy eyed with a cup of Maxwell coffee to my right - engaged in a heated chat with some Pro-Life libertarians over Facebook.

When I get upset I make up something humorous to help process what I'm feeling, or to make sense of what I believe is happening. I also do it to vent frustrations and to connect with people in relation to difficult issues. Blah blah blah. I got pissed- I made a game. Hope you get a laugh.

Here in Britain it’s the morning after the night before, and as widely expected we are well into hung parliament territory, with the distribution of seats making it very unclear as to who will form the next government. The opposition Conservatives are the largest party, but well short of having an overall majority.

My friends came over tonight to hang out and talk about Kim Kardashian’s latest problems on her show and private life. The topic soon took a 180 and we found ourselves talking of the Census.

…thinking of 'homo ludens' and the etymology of 'interlude': the stage or state of being in between playing or playfulness (inter [in between] + ludus [game, play])

Unfortunately we don't get this sort of stuff in Australia, I suppose compared to many other nations, we are progressive to an extent. Anyway happened upon this beauty recently, again apologies to those that already know it, http://www.progressiveradionetwork.com/

Today we officially launched the Evolver Social Movement. This has been quite a process for us, one fraught with anxiety and also an odd unexpectedly potent sense of enthusiasm and excitement. I find it is causing me to want to personally review what has brought me to this point. What follows is a look back into the distant past and then a consideration of what is now and what may be to come.

I am a tree-hugging, sandal-wearing, peace-loving liberal. Since the time of Franklin Roosevelt, “liberal” has been almost synonymous with “large national government.” The federal government helped pull the country out of the Great Depression and established Social Security. The U.S. Supreme Court kicked off desegregation with Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954.

A must see vid for all who is open minded and open hearted.

To the United States Federal government, and specifically to the Drug Enforcement Agency, I would like to say that I disregard your "Controlled Substance Act" on the basis that it is clearly in error. It holds that cannabis belongs in a catagory of drugs without medical value; yet 13 states (currently) condone medical cannabis.

Why are we electing people to run our countries? Its not a new thought to any of you I'm sure. But think about it. So many people are jobless and yet there is so much to be done.

Brandon Williams Craig pointed me to a book coming out: Re-imagining Change, on story-based activism -- a strategy for movement-based activism.

In the New York Times Sunday Magazine published on February 11, an article by Russel Shorto called "How Christian Were the Founders?" looked into recent efforts by the Texas school board to inject into history and civics curriculum the idea that America was founded officially as a Christian nation.

Lately, I've been hearing people talk about how "We need to rebuild the US so we can get back to where we were before the last decade." Some are looking at the 90's as a model of society to strive for. More than a few smart people have said President Obama shares that vision, especially in terms of the economic and regulatory environment.

Hi Folks,

Here is my first crack at promotional copy to invite our community to contribute regular membership dues to the Evolver Social Movement.

On one level, I can't help approaching this entire project as a conceptual art project - an example of what the German artist Joseph Beuys called "social sculpture."
