OIL SPILL
despite what most of the tv pundits tell you, the oil found in the gulf is SOLD ON THE OPEN MARKET & NOT DEDICATED TO AMERICAN USE. slightly different perspective on ruining the Gulf economy now eh?

"FOREIGN"
"HEART OF THE FACTORY" was the subtitled movie we saw last night, about the Argentine take over of a ceramics factory.as gringos i think we underestimate exactly FOREIGN other people are, in this docu people DIED FOR THEIR JOB, not for the factory owner but to take over the factory and run it as a co-op.they were repeatedly beaten, teargassed, shot, women were kidnapped and abuse and this was over 4 to 5 years not some overnight excursion.NOBODY HAS FAITH IN THEM..EXCEPT THEMSELVES.this is the True Meaning of Labor Day HUGE SIGH.

ANARCHISTS?
speaking of gringos... saturday there was an evening May Day march in downtown sata cruz which dissolved into Organized Chaos.lemme splain...apparently anarchists there called a flash mob via the internet posted online and at an anarchist cafe (?) downtown. first they staged a lot of bogus 911 calls around the town to distract the police who were lightly staffed that night since all previous marches over the years had been non violent.so anarchists invited peeps to come PARTY and promised MAYHEM, which did not worry the cops as santa cruz is a party town...so about 250 people are marching peacefully then suddenly about two dozen people in black hoodies and bandanas begin lighting TORCHES! and hurling bowling ball sized rocks thru plate glass store windows.
this where the concept of CAPITALISM is fuzzy math versus local bizness owners etc etc, admittedly there were some national chains involved-jamba juice,urban outfitters,the gap...the cops, being outnumbered some 20 to 1 retreated and got help from neighboring jurisdictions and by the time it arrived over $100,000 in damage had been done over a 5 block area, including lotsa graffiti and paint bombs.
boy did the chamber of commerce get its panties in a twist WE NEED MORE COPS!!!they shrieked feathers all aruffle...sorry, it starting to sound like doc Seuss.anyway, me and Soul Mate, being old and achy had decided NOT to attend that march, good thing too.would've made Great digital video tho, some is already on U Tube put up by the anarchists???
what do they really know about ANARCHY anyway? those courageous ceramic workers in Argentina are descended from REAL ANARCHISTS not like these soft handed cellphone so called renegades.
