New e'Zine & Vlog Hot Off The Presses
By
Sandy Haksi
We've (finally!) released another issue of our News of the Cool e'Zine. The release is timed to coincide with today's Occupy the Courts national day of protest, and includes articles on Joel Bakan's new book — Childhood Under Siege — with a review by Occupy Parenting's Eric Curren, as well as pieces on tackling corporate giants and social branding. We also did a short Occupy-themed vlog that ties it all together. Check it out below and please share it!
In the vlog, Joel Bakan talks about corporate personhood and how the Occupy movement is really a call to be a citizen, with all the rights and duties that entails. Hello Cool World founder Katherine Dodds discusses how branding can be used for social good and not just to maximize profits, and Move to Amend's Steve Justino gives us some background on Occupy The Courts.

“Maybe Japan would be betetr off defaulting”. Perhaps, but would any lessons be learned? Chances are, the same old, same, old people would turn around and start doing the same thing all over again. And the rest of the population would let them. A recent TV “debate” on TPP made absolutely no mention of whether the government should be making decisions about who will or will not sell or buy what at what price. “Only then will people begin thinking about common objectives, rather than keep with the pervasive mentality of self-preservation on a sinking ship.” A minor quibble, but “common objectives” is the smokescreen put up by groups to hide their grab for power. Isn’t the problem, rather, that people do not see their true LONG-TERM self-interest with enough clarity?I look forward to more posts.
