Here's a photo I took of a teabagger rally at the height of their heyday 2010

don't tread on me

Now a photo I took just a few hours ago of the Mountain Moral Monday rally

Mountain Moral Monday

The paltry attendance of the tea party group compared with the police estimate of 5,000 Democrats and other citizens concerned over the far right reach of our governor and legislators gives one pause in light of the recent legislation passed here.

Over at BlueNC James says the Asheville Police estimate 10,000! Asheville Moral Monday rally

Sometimes the most brilliant minds have a difficult time articulating what´s happening globally. Perhaps that´s because the task is formidable. Here´s a video of the world´s greatest chess champion questioning the then leader of Pakistan.

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison Tuesday for death squad killings and kidnappings during his presidency.

Human Rights Watch pointed out that today's landmark decision fits within a global trend of increasing accountability for former heads of state. But it stands out because in contrast to many other situations, Peru's national court system demonstrated the will, capacity, and independence to try its former president.

According to the article in HRW this conviction is a milestone. I applaud the action. I hope it signals a trend in the direction of holding accountable political leaders who believe themselves above the law. And of course immediately upon learning of the verdict I wondered if Dick Cheney had read the news and what impact it may have had on him.

I´m reading Naomi Klein´s ¨The Shock Doctrine¨, a narrative of Milton Friedman´s theories as projected in reality in South America, Indonesia and elsewhere, tracing the trajectory of his doctrine of economic shock therapy which according to the historical record seems never to have worked for anyone excepting the ruling and wealthy classes
