Reselling your stuff make become illegal thanks to the Federal Court and the Supreme Court

Read about the case here, click 
Are you in?  More than 3,000 sites -- including prominent allies like the Electronic Frontier Foundation -- have signed up to take part in today's day of action. The Supreme Court is hearing that case that will decide if you have the right to resell the things you own.
Ebay, Craigslist, and even the old-fashioned garage sale are under threat.
Sites will be using our ribbons and ball-and-chain icons to sound the alarm about the Kirtsaeng vs John Wiley & Sons case:
The Supreme Court might side with Big Business and decide that you don't have the right to resell things that were made abroad: books, clothes, iPhones -- almost anything.
If you're planning to take part, please click here to grab the code for one of those icons, and post it on your site! (And maybe write up a blurb about why you're taking a stand.)
Here's what it'll look like:


We expect to have a legislative fight on our hands come winter, no matter how the Supreme Court rules.  So we want to drive thousands of emails to lawmakers before Big Business sics its brigade of lobbyists on them.
Whether or not you're posting on your site, will you spread word to your friends -- and especially anybody who you know who sells things online?

Gay men Body Standards, so true

Duke student Jacob Tobia has wrote a great commentary about Gay men body image and self-esteem. this is a great read..

Here is an interesting piece:

Isn’t it ironic that in the course of my life, the most traumatic factors affecting my self-esteem have been the standards imposed on my body by the gay community? It’s no wonder that a study at Columbia University found that gay men are three times more likely to have an eating disorder than their heterosexual counterparts.

The Boy Scouts ‘Perversion Files’, more than 5,000, Yet the BSoA claim LGBT Americans are perverts..

A Los Angeles Times and Canadian Broadcasting Corp. investigation has revealed that The Boy Scouts of America and Canada harbored, covered up after, and allowed an estimated five thousand child molesters to continue leading and raping scouts for over two decades.

Official documents keeping tabs on the pedophiles within the Boy Scouts were called the “Perversion Files.” The extensive coverup of thousands of sex crimes by scout leaders is being likened to the massive sex abuse by Catholic priests who continue to enjoy protection from the law.

“It’s the same institutional reaction: scandal prevention,” said Seattle attorney Timothy Kosnoff, who has filed seven suits in the last year by former Scouts but was not involved in the Oregon case.

“You do not want to broadcast to the entire population that these things happen,” A. Buford Hill Jr., a former Orange County Scouting executive, said of officials’ decision not to contact authorities. “You take care of it quietly and make sure it never happens again.”

But it did happen again. And again. And again and again and again and a few thousand more times. All while the Boy Scouts looked in the other direction. One longtime scout leader, Rick Turley, admits to molesting more boys than he can remember while serving in multiple Boy Scouts organizations. ”It was easy,” he said.

When Turley was pushed out of one local scout group after molesting three boys whose parents agreed to not press charges if he left and never came back, the Scouts had at that point been made aware of at least a dozen boys their employee had raped. Still, they chose to protect their star pedofile. His termination notice (he later joined another Scout troop) read in part, “We are making no accusations and will not release this information to anyone, so our action in no way will affect your standing in the community.”

Deplorable.

Now that the existence of the Perversion Files has been confirmed in court, the BSoA have petitioned to seal them from the media. This admittance of guilt has understandably ruffled feathers, as there are several thousand former victims of Boy Scouts sex abuse estimated that have yet to come forward with their charges because shame and disbelief that this could possibly have happened on such a large scale prevent them from doing so.

Allowing press access to the Perversion Files would encourage victims of decades old sex abuse to sue the Boy Scouts. A recent judgment against the Scouts in a sex abuse case to the tune of $20 Million shows that legal and public opinion are against the Scouts on this one.

It should go without saying, but keep this in mind the next time this group that protected FIVE THOUSAND pedophiles dares to judge the morality of LGBT Americans.

NC Congress Senator Selling out the People.

Via the Progressive Pulse,

Kay Hagan is introducing a bill today with her new chum, John McCain, to slash taxes on giant, profitable multi-national corporations. As we noted back in July after her speech to a pro-corporate think tank on the matter, this is the last thing our economy or tax system needs.

This is from that article:

“The bottom line on this matter is pretty simple:

1)      There is simply no end to the creativity of corporations and their tax lawyers when it comes to devising ways to avoid paying taxes (i.e. their fair share of the bill for our essential public services and structures);

2)      The last thing the American government or economy needs is another huge tax break for giant, profitable corporations; and

3)      Senator Hagan must know these truths and if she doesn’t, she needs to get up to speed real fast.”

Yes Hagen doesn’t care about the people, only the corps, that are handing her money under the table to do what they wish of her. She isn’t paying attention at all. Hello Hagan, Wake the Fuck UP… And smell the Bullshit…

I wonder how much does it cost to buy a Congressman/woman????

See this is what wrong with Religious Bigots..

I found the following today while surfing the web of lgbt’ Blogs and news sites..

This comes from JoeMyGod’s Blog..

"The Torah, in ancient Jewish wisdom the Bible, actually explains something which we have lived through which is one of the great mysteries: the plot of 9/11. Not only do we find references in Zachariah to four mysterious crafts that come through between two mountains made of metal, in biblical terminology mountains can be natural mountains or also anything tall that grows up like two buildings, also the idea that the plot was hatched not in Mecca or Medina or Riyadh or anywhere else in Saudi Arabia, that plot was hatched in Hamburg, Germany, and was based on a dream that Adolf Hitler had in 1943 which was to fly suicide Luftwaffe German air force bombers into the towers of Manhattan." - Whackadoodle Orthodox Rabbi Daniel Lapin, speaking to Pat Robertson on the 700 Club.

Then again, recently there has been many outrageous crap coming from Pat and his minions over at the 700 Club.. This just goes to prove it.
