In case you missed noticing, there is a huge civil disobedience campaign against Coca Cola and its products here in Australia. It's called Out of Order and it tells Coke that they were Out of Order to come into this country and ban a viable container recycling scheme in the Northern Territory through a loophole in the law there.

+Greenpeace Australia Pacific has taken on Coca Cola Amatil as well by means of an advertising campaign using online media. Watch the video. Get informed. Stop buying Coke and Coke products.

+Coca-Cola has now bought paid advertising spots on Google so when you search for Greenpeace you get a face full of Coke propaganda.

Boooooooo!

Restrictions on land clearing were put there for a reason. Allowing farmers to self determine what land will be cleared does not allow for an overall perspective. The possibility is another dust bowl.

Blow Your Mind GunFAIL Data. Isn't it Time to End This Insanity?:

We're back, once again. The kids once again dominated the week, with seven kids under 16 years of age who either shot themselves or were shot by other kids under 16. The youngest victim of GunFAIL this week was just 13 months old, shot by her dad while cleaning his guns. A shocker, to be sure, but then again it was the second time in the space of as many months that a dad had done the same, in Tennessee alone.

Three concealed carry ninjas had accidental discharges this week, as did five cops. Two accidental discharges were in school settings, with one student injured. The first involved a cop on a school bus, whose weapon was discharged into the floor of the bus when a student grabbed at the trigger while his gun was still in his holster. But of course, that will never happen once we quadruple the... more »

Grief is not a mental disorder.
Temper tantrums are not mental disorders.
Being forgetful is not a mental disorder.

The new manual appears to be heavily flawed and subservient to pharmaceutical companies who are all too willing to prescribe drugs to treat these "disorders".

The judge put a "morality clause" in the woman's divorce papers from her husband that forbids her from having an unrelated person in her house after 9 pm at night while her children are present.

“The big banks won some battles and lost some battles during the financial regulatory debate in 2009 and 2010, but their tune never changed and their lobbying never let up,” she said. “It is dangerous for Congress to amend the derivatives provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act without at the same time taking accompanying steps to strengthen reform and maintain the law’s equilibrium.”

The Best, The Worst and a Way Ahead for Google+ Users (me specifically)

The best thing, the absolute best thing that I love about the new layout is scrolling down my feed and being arrested by some of the most amazing full size photographs. Visual content is stunning.

The worst thing, the absolute worst thing, is that discussions, real, full, long discussions are being lost in the feed. When you are following nearly 5k people, the post volume is quite extensive and finding the relevant and controversial posts is so much more difficult now.

I think that this is where smaller Communities will come into their own. The ability to concentrate posts in a smaller area of G+ has its advantages that were not previously recognisable.

The 2 GOP judges voted to nullify Obama's three recess appointments to the National Labour Relations Board (NLRB). This coincides with a confirmation hearing on five OTHER members of the same Board by the Senate.

If the nullification stands and the confirmation does not happen, the NLRB will be without a three person quorum. This has dire ramifications for union members.

A Glimpse of the True Tony Abbott

#auspol  

Kissing arse with the likes of Gina Rinehart and Rupert Murdoch at the IPA 70th Birthday Bash recently.

It reminds me very much of Mitt Romney addressing THAT dinner where he dropped the clanger about the 47%.

"... I want to assure you that the Coalition will indeed repeal the carbon tax, abolish the Department of Climate Change, abolish the Clean Energy Fund. We will repeal Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, at least in its current form. We will abolish new health and environmental bureaucracies. We will deliver $1 billion in red tape savings every year. We will develop northern Australia. We will repeal the mining tax. We will create a one stop shop for environmental approvals. We will privatise Medibank Private. We will trim the public service and we will stop throwing good money after bad... more »
