Reddit advocacy
Want to be involved in advocacy efforts that can actually change things (and have a proven track record of working)?
I recommend the following sites:
- The discussion page for Test PAC, a Reddit Political Action Committee.
- The discussion page for RPAC (aka the Open Source Democracy Foundation)
- New hub for activism on rhetoric: /R/evolutionReddit
- An aggregation of all the top activist subreddits: The Reddit Activist Alliance
they’re called people .. and hopefully they’ll finally bury SOPA and PIPA and defeat ACTA worldwide ..

Newt Gingrich sleeps with his next wife while married to this one. Sounds to me like a marital Ponzi scheme.
There are some truths so hard to face, so ugly and so at odds with how we imagine the world should be, that nobody can accept them. Here’s one: It is obvious that a class system has arrived in America — a recent study of the thirty-four countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that only Italy and Great Britain have less social mobility. But nobody wants to admit: If your daddy was rich, you’re gonna stay rich, and if your daddy was poor, you’re gonna stay poor. Every instinct in the American gut, every institution, every national symbol, runs on the idea that anybody can make it; the only limits are your own limits. Which is an amazing idea, a gift to the world — just no longer true. Culturally, and in their daily lives, Americans continue to glide through a ghostly land of opportunity they can’t bear to tell themselves isn’t real. It’s the most dangerous lie the country tells itself.

There seems to be two principal divides:
Those who believe that life is a battle, about…
The music has stopped for the 1%
