1. At the rabid TPPA signing at Sky City on Thursday, I’ll be interested to see how the police are attired, dressed ready to do battle with legitimate peaceful protesters, or in normal uniform!

   I fear though it will be the former, on instruction from FJK et al, to threaten, intimidate and to lash out as often as possible, doing his dirty work on his behalf!

   Regardless, this 69 year old bird will be there to demonstrate respectfully and peacefully, as I know will be the purpose of the majority of protesters who will be present.

   See you there my TDB friends.

2. ‘Foxcatcher’ is a great film based on fact which shows what can happen when the poncy self-entitled wealthy takeover the lives and education of the gifted…exploitation, self delusion, abuse….and the destruction of excellence

4. (from something i linked to this morn..)

   ‘Sanders’s kicker reminded me of a quote from Tommy Douglas – who achieved for Canada what Sanders is trying to achieve for the U.S. – a single-payer health care system:

   ‘Courage, my friends; ’tis not too late to build a better world’.
