~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Great interview on food and farming. Bill Moyers and Michael Pollan discuss the inter-connecting and inter-dependent threads between agriculture policies, energy policies and healthcare initiatives and how each tendril of policy and practice approved and encouraged throughout the USDA since WWII has led to increased fuel costs, increased disease among Americans and a greatly-decreased quality of life. It's definitely time to obtain a completely new and integrated perspective on our nation's food supply and our agriculture practices. Many informed individuals are calling for the establishment of a new Cabinet Post, National Food Czar. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11282008/watch.html
* Here's the song "Stand by Me" sung and filmed, as one, by an international collection of artists in the US, Africa, Russia, UK, Spain and other countries. Global music leads to global peace.

* The automobile and transportation crisis - latest information and policy recommendations on PHEVs (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles):

* From Catherine Austin Fitts - a Looking Back at 2008 The global financial bubble burst in 2008 -- and that's a good thing. It means that the bubble economy will stop draining the real economy. Instead of capital being invested in fraudulent mortgage securities, derivatives portfolios, and companies running black-box ponzi schemes, perhaps it can be used to finance real solutions to the problems before us. Now we can talk about the real world and real issues.
