What’s the Latest Development?
The adage that children exposed to violence grow up faster has some fresh genetic evidence to support it. Examining data from a study that tracked 1,100 British families through the 1990s, researchers at Duke University have found that children exposed to two…
THE PLAN TO SLASH MIDDLE CLASS STUDENT FEES BY TWO THIRDS
http://asmdc.org/issues/middleclassscholarship/sign-the-petition
With the Middle Class Scholarship, CSU and UC students will fill out the standard financial aid forms. All students with family incomes less than $150,000 that do not already have fees covered will receive a Middle Class Scholarship that slashes fees by 2/3.
For the CSU, approximately 150,000 students will receive the Middle Class Scholarship and save over $4,000 per year.
About 42,000 UC students will receive the Middle Class Scholarship and save up to $8,169 per year.
Community Colleges will receive $150 million to expand affordability efforts. Local districts will have discretion to allocate the funds to best meet their individual needs, such as expanding the use of fee waivers or providing grants to cover the costs of books, transportation, or other educational expenses.
Investing in California’s students is an investment in our future. For every $1 we spend on higher education, the state gets a $3 return on its investment (www.cccco.edu). All Californians, including those from middle class families, deserve access to an affordable college education.
The Middle Class Scholarship will be paid for entirely by closing the $1 billion wasteful corporate tax loophole that allows out-of-state corporations to elect to lower their California tax bill. All Californians, including those from middle class families, deserve access to an affordable college education.Closing a wasteful out-of-state corporate loophole will make the Middle Class Scholarship a reality!

Cause I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and
And I consider myself a pretty cool guy
And I never cheated on any of my girlfriends
Well, except that one time in Japan
But that was just for head and head don’t count right
Thanks God I knew you’d understand
Well, I just feel like
Well to be honest with you
God I just need a sweet bitch
You know somebody no to, not too fast but not too slow
Cause I don’t have it all to do it my damn self
And life aint easy
You know I just want somebody by your side to help smooth
That thang out you know what I’m talking about
And at this point
I mean I’m not being picky

Just something well proportioned to her body

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature.
The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
