   The urge to create narratives seems fundamental to human nature.   The process of 'storytelling' shapes how we see the world and understand who we are.   Many things remain hidden until we can find the right words/ideas to describe them.

The Media: what it does and doesn't do (47 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Susan Lee Schwartz)
The media is the key to our democracy, as we the people get to know what is happening only when we hear or see it. Five corporate entities own the major media outlets, paper and tv...and that is why Americans are ignorant of how our democracy is being assaulted!

Needed: AWSC, A Big National Service Program (19 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Dwayne Hunn)
Poverty, climate change, militarized U.S. mentality and economy, growing numbers of stealth terrorists, job shortage, dumb-down public policies,  involved service shortage, etc... the list of needs that a ROBUST American World Service Corps national service program could address is long.We need to start addressing these needs today in a BIG way so that movies like Zero Dark 30, Day After Tomorrow, and Hunger Games don't become reality tomorrow.

Peak Oil - A Challenge Not To Be Overlooked (41 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Richard Turcotte)
[A sign of things to come?] Photo courtesy of Daniel Lobo - Daquellamanera.org.~~~We hear a lot these days about the steady rise in oil production here in the United States. Talk of 'energy independence' tends to follow close behind.It's a wonderful story. It would be an even better one if the facts and realities of oil production didn't intrude. We're not running out of oil, to be sure. But we have some energy-supply challenges ahead of us. Understanding the reasons why is an important step in preparing for a future not quite as energy abundant as some lead us to believe.

The truth about Testing: inventing failure so as to "fix" what wash never broken. (50 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Susan Lee Schwartz)
Testing and  evaluation IS NOT about standards... it is about profits.  Congress  enshrined the NCLB act which is the crux of the tragedy and allowed the testing company Pearson to rake in a fortune while kids lost everything we once took for granted  Its goal is to ensure that schools fail, so they can be rated as failing! Then they can be'FIXED' by the CC! .  Read  how testing replaced learning as the objective: ' The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education' by Diane Ravitch;   The road to opportunity ended. The Bush policy and the Duncan rant  became the  national mandate, and the professional at the bottom , lost the right to plan lessons that enable kids to learn. They  evaluated the teachers our of their jobs, their civil-rights and that is What VAM means. The tests were not reform. They were a 'magic elixir, no evidence required, and now that the evidence is in, as this series reveals, the charlatans who run the country, the media and now the schools want to continue the ruinous policy that dumbs down a nation to the point where propaganda wins, the people are so Bamboozled that they will elect liars.
