Reducing energy use, making electricity from the sun, and getting the most out of buildings we will leave to our children and our grandchildren is a value proposition that ought to make sense to developers as businesspeople, said Governor Patrick. It is up to us in state government to make that proposition too good to turn down.

A short and probably inadequate discussion of the economic role and origin of money.
People will try and tell you all sorts of funny things about money, what it is, where it comes from. A sure sign people are talking out of their arse is if they say something like ‘modern money is just debt’. Debt is owing money. Money can’t be owing itself. Come on…
But even respected economists like to oversimplify things, and I’ve horribly oversimplified a lot here, but in a non ideological way, so hopefully you’ll learn something and be able to deal with strange economic ideas when and if they arise in discussion.

Keith Olbermann: “Today, 135 years to the day after the last American President (Ulysses S. Grant) suspended habeas corpus, President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. At its worst, the legislation allows President Bush or Donald Rumsfeld to declare anyone — US citizen or not — an enemy combatant, lock them up and throw away the key without a chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. In other words, every thing the Founding Fathers fought the British empire to free themselves of was reversed and nullified with the stroke of a pen, all under the guise of the War on Terror.”
Jonathan Turley: “People have no idea how significant this is. Really a time of shame this is for the American system.—The strange thing is that we have become sort of constitutional couch potatoes. The Congress just gave the President despotic powers and you could hear the yawn across the country as people turned to Dancing With the Stars. It’s otherworldly..People clearly don’t realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us. And I’m not too sure we’re gonna change back anytime soon.”

This DVD will NOT be viewable on DVD players made in the U.S.A., European countries or Japan unless they are code- (region-)free DVD players. About this DVD In the most provocative film of the year, Academy Award winner Michael Moore presents a searing examination of the role played by money and oil in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11. Michael Moore blends captivating and thought-provoking footage with revealing interviews while balancing it all with his own brand of humor and satire. Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore examines the Bush administration’s financial ties to Saudi Arabia and the bin Laden family in FAHRENHEIT 9/11, a well-researched, fast-paced, highly controversial, and important documentary that won the Palme d’Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Using actual footage and declassified documents, Moore takes a detailed look into political events both before and after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, beginning with the polarizing Supreme Court decision that ultimately gave the state of Florida and the 2000 election to George W. Bush. Moore reveals how the U.S. government helped the bin Laden family return to Saudi Arabia immediately after September 11, when all other flights were still grounded; and examines military recruiting techniques in such poor areas as his own hometown of Flint, Michigan. He even attempts to get congressmen to enlist their own sons and daughters into the military. The writer-director also visits with the troops, including at a VA hospital where soldiers are having second thoughts about America’s involvement in Iraq, and spends time with a family whose eldest son is fighting in Iraq. FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is a worthy successor to Moore’s
