And Sergey's son is quite a creative lad, who has an interest in chess and movie making...I love the sound effects.

Another piece of the puzzle is Karst Management areas being proposed for the eastern side of the state. The incidents of contaminated wells are well documented in Brown, Door, Calumet, Kewaunee, and Manitowoc counties. The proposed bill establishes management areas in these 5 counties based upon criteria to be established by DNR according to the relative risk of land spreading waste in the area.

One of the provisions of the new bill is to allow other parts of the state to petition DNR to be designated a management area. If counties can show evidence of groundwater contamination due to land spreading waste over carbonate bedrock DNR would have to consider the petition.

At this point we need to keep our legislators informed of our risks here, and help them understand the need for every protection available for our fragile landscape.

So get out the pen and paper, pick up the telephone, because there is no better time than now to make a difference to the future of our groundwater resources.

If you need the addresses and numbers...think Kickapedia.

Indeed, "corporate personhood"--and the state's upholding corporate interests over those of "the people"--is but an expected extension of America's founding ideological fantasies. The US Supreme Court's decision in "Citizens United" was not some break with American "democracy". It was not some kind of "take over", in which "We the people" should get "our nation back"--we never "had" a nation to begin with. It was always John Jay's nation, Alexander Hamilton's nation. It was always the "minority of the opulent" who owned the country, and ran it as they saw fit, while distracting the "Great Beast" with political rhetoric and propaganda.

But we should note that every gain in civil rights history, every extension of liberty, has been made when "the people" see through the state's ideological fantasies, when the people civilly-disobey until the state acts according to the people's demands for justice. Only then does "Change" become more than just rhetoric, spouted by US presidents.

And if video speaks to you more potently, try this link to a work by Jonas Mekas "As I was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty". All these links were from @mhsteger on Twitter. Tomorrow's music will also be via this interesting person's work.
