  Why do we assume it is okay for the US and Israel to have nuclear weapons but not Iran? There seems to be an assumption there are good countries who would not do something "evil" such as we did when we overthrew a democratically elected President of Iran who had a PhD in economics from the west because he wanted to take back the oil fields that the UK stole, or when we invaded Iraq under the pretense that there were WMDs when the CIA clearly knew better, or planned to invade Cuba and Venezuela, or support France’s colonial efforts in Vietnam, and then when that didn't work fight the war ourselves under the delusion of containment which Robert McNamara made clear in the Fog of War was a delusion.

• The Price of Inequality

  It is an unfortunate quality of human beings to reject information in favor of the pre-determined views. While there are valid criticisms of some of the analysis, a very large number of very respected economists have been documenting the increased inequality of income and wealth distribution. In addition, money now owns the political and economic system so we bail out banks and don't prosecute those who have clearly broken the law.
  
  My interest is how work together to change the system to treat everyone as equal before the law and to provide everyone an equal opportunity for education, health etc.
