Justice For The Rest Of Us

A middle-aged social scientist who started blogging to support social justice and spread the gospel of non-violence. Though it may cost me followers, I will criticize the left when we make mistakes, including resorting to violence when it isn't necessary. Cesar Chavez, who organized disenfranchised migrant workers and Martin Luther King, who not only fought for civil rights but for economic justice, exemplify the principles I espouse here. But make no mistake about it: I am a proud member of the left.

On a personal note, I love Siamese cats, and I'm addicted to baseball. As a public service, I post one cute animal picture everyday. Don't be surprised to see something about music from the 60s every once in a while.

I don’t understand why Joe Biden’s remark about Wall Street — if allowed to do again what it did during the Bush years — putting the people back in chains is so controversial. What he said was accurate. When we give bankers, financial institutions, and wealthy investors as much freedom as they have power with the nation’s wealth, the common people of the country are all inclined to the fate of the outcomes of failed risky investments, trading, and loans.
