Blowin' in the Wind
It's amazing that Dylan wrote this, how many years ago? And it still applies. We've learned nothing.
This video depicts some of the negative effects of globalization. Are there any positive effects? Well, I guess that would depend on who you are. I would doubt that the true christian philosophy would support globalization. The power shifts from the average American to the American Corporatist, whose regard for humanity seems to relate mostly to the bottom line.
The Times They Are A'Changin'
We recieved a warning from the state of Wisconsin that republicans and big business are going to do everything in their power to dissolve unions. That fight goes on. Don't ever kid yourself that if those in power ever thought force and violence was an option, they wouldn't use it. For years they have made minor changes in labor laws toward this end. This is a battle that affects union and non-union workers alike. Watch what happens if the unions give up.
Miners Medley
The fight for the miner still goes on. Union busting still goes on. Gradual elimination of organized labor has compromised the safety of the nations mines.
