The start of World War Three and Our Own Fate
World War 3 has almost certainly started with or without actions by the US. Betrayal of peace principles by Russia is an unforgivable act of aggression and will lead to many dying...and much suffering of the Russian and World population. Disaster is really at hand and no individuals can stop it.

We treat him like he’s mad, but Vladimir Putin’s popularity has just hit a 3-year high
Putin looks a lot like Tzar Nick or Mussolini?
Talks in London to defuse Crimea crisis reach ‘no common vision,’ Lavrov says - The Washington Post
Guess it's time to bunker down and go off to war, kill a few more millions or billions to save the planet of the human scourge as Gorbechov would explain? Oh, what the hell!

Some states have issues others don't, but without a good public education / radio / TV system in America it's anyone's bet where people's views will go. Churches are the schools about real social issues. Still some claim it's better than being told lies as in Russia. 'Nothing information' is better than false facts?

Paul Krugman takes on the inflation paranoiacs - The Week
Alphonso L. R. Smith of the Bahamas has written of his family's slave past.
Get a copy and support him....
As regards inflation from too much government spending:
"The problem is that historically in real terms all growth favours income distribution towards the haves rather than the have-nots. We want growth, but the penalty from government intervention to stimulate growth is often a further worsening of income distribution. Lord Keynes / Krugman should have read Hicks or Joseph Schumpeter! Growth policies require redistribution measures in the form of a tax on the main beneficiaries which are those who invest in growth. Without positive redistribution, we end up with the communism of Italy and Russia, OR social fascism which is a far sight WORSE than Swedish style socialism or Norwegian capitalism or Dutch socialism, or Canadian capitalism. It is ludicrous to argue that no growth would occur from taxing the investing richer beneficiaries in an era when those benefiting most are not only not taxed, but are subsidized as well.... Those that have or benefit from the surpluses from growth should help those that don't. If they don't, then capitalism won't work and the rich will see turmoil and slower growth than is possible. America needs to work towards growth and redistrution of surpluses to increase the growth investor pool. It is pragmatic policy."

War is not the best way forward and Putin has other real issues in Russia to contend with. The country needs peace otherwise all hell could break loose and a divided Russia fly apart at the seams...

Would that the world were that much more clean for our grand children! Stanford study concludes it is only a political choice. The technologies for an all electric future are waiting to be used.
Hi!
Daily, we receive loads of hype about how costly conversion to clean energy is.
Much of the commentary is based on reluctance of fossil combustion burning DIRTY technologies and communities that should long ago have been declared unfit for human use.
So, it's time to look around the home, factory, office and toss away all, yes ALL, those combustion engines.
Gas burning for heat is still seen as 'overlookable' combustion. But, have another look and understand that it is a poor reflection of a burning mentality that has no real place in the future other than as a comment, "remember when we heated water AND AIR with a gas burner..."
It is easily the time to move to a completely new range of devices and machines based electric / electronic world in which combustion occurs as a rarity, an act of nature and not human design.
Sure burning stuff will always be feasible, but if we burn let's burn 100 percent and contain the residue for more burning, even in nuclear burning.
All we really need for a clean world is the solar energy and it's effects in wind, waves and temperature ......
I'll bet China wishes, it could stop burning so it's smog fog would go away forever. Remember when in London, we had all those fogs, etc....
Healthy thoughts,
Arthur
