A fantastic model of collaboration: thinking partners who aren't echo chambers.” (Margaret Heffernan)



Most people instinctively avoid conflict, but as Margaret Heffernan shows us, good disagreement is central to progress. She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren’t echo chambers -- and how great research teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree. The former CEO of five businesses, Margaret Heffernan explores the all-too-human thought patterns -- like conflict avoidance and selective blindness -- that lead managers and organizations astray.

Newt Gingrich Impeach judges - Crush and Replace the Left - 2012 Victory or Death!



I sincerely hope you will think about what Newt says in this video. Here is a fellow who - with all his flaws - is still a great thinker about conservative values in a day when image usually counts for more than substance. Renewing America: The Gingrich Agenda

 

Newt has laid out a very specific agenda for restoring America. Moreover, he has the practical experience and knowledge to implement it, and the vision to campaign in the general election with an eye towards getting the needed majorities in Congress. For the youth or for those with a short memory you can go here to read about Newt’s Credentials.

Because now is when record matters. Not just the record of votes, which is often a meaningless toll of positions taken for political purposes on bills that were always going to pass anyway or were never going to pass, but a record of ‘actions taken’ that actually mattered. A record of actions that actually matter.

No candidate in the race can match Gingrich’s career advocating and achieving national conservative reforms in government. He gave us the three most important victories of the 90’s Welfare Reform, Balanced Budget and Reduced Taxes. And, he gave us the first Republican majority in 40 years, the Contract with America and completed 2/3rds of his agenda while in office. Lets also not forget 4.2%.

Samaritan is a drama about a teenage boy who watches his father and youth leader pass by a hurt man, only to see the man helped by someone he didn't expect to help him. Based on Luke 10:25-37

The Lightbulb Conspiracy: The Untold Story of Planned Obsolescence is a documentary about how our economic system based on consumerism is really breaking our planet down.

 

It uses investigative research and rare archive footage to trace the untold story of Planned Obsolescence, from its beginnings in the 1920s with a secret cartel, set up expressly to limit the life span of light bulbs, to present-day stories involving cutting edge electronics (such as the iPod) and the growing spirit of resistance amongst ordinary consumers.

Planned Obsolescence is the deliberate shortening of product life spans to guarantee consumer demand. As a magazine for advertisers succinctly puts it: “The article that refuses to wear out is a tragedy of business “ – and a tragedy for the modern growth society which relies on an ever-accelerating cycle of production, consumption and throwing away.
