Happy As A Hangman *By Chris Hedges*

Family values are used, especially by the Christian right, as the exclusive definition of public morality. Politicians, including President Obama, who betray the working class, wage doomed imperial wars, abandon families to home foreclosures and bank repossessions, and refuse to restore habeas corpus, are morally “good” because they are loyal husbands and fathers. Infidelity, instead of corporate murder, becomes in this absurd moral reasoning the highest and most unforgivable offense.." http://www.countercurrents.org/hedges071210.htm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
