      Sorry, John, but those standing as responsible in "Oliver Twist" did steal donated cash from the charity baskets to put into their own selfish pockets, ..

      ..just as did Barack Obama in his rise in Chicago..

      ..and just like all of "Big-Government" America does today.

      The world of Charles Dickens is ever present. The work of Charles Dickens is required reading. The meaning of Charles Dickens on Americans and the love of money and on the law in England being as "ass", is nothing but the simple truth. An hour with all these moderns on a figure who is eternal is woefully inadequate. A major motion picture on the man, his gifts to us, and what we owe to his memory, would be appropriate. I think I may try to visit with the Wikipedian Dickens and afterwards with Trollope and CP Snow. And then will I be chastised if I do less with Shakespeare? In our time we think nothing of seeing a lot of "Mad Men" as an entertainment. And I spend so much time with trivial news and a whiff of Charlie Rose' skimming so many surfaces.

      I have the answer for the question about the ants for sugar in Herzog's encounter at the end of the world.

      When talking about immortals, please don't talk with England. Talk with the right one. I think Mongolians. If we did right thing, we would live for thousands of thousands of years with the souls.

      But the question is why at this moment I want live for thousands of thousands of years? I think incarnation is true. I am unstable. Sometimes, I really want to live in Hawaii and dance hula-hula for ever. Then I understand what is compromised and uncompromised.

      Professor Richard Wolff, New School University NYC, joins Thom Hartmann. Facing salary cuts, Port workers on the East Coast are threatening a strike that could impact the economy to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. We'll talk about why THIS strike in particular is so important - and how - if it's successful - it could bring about a future Leisure Society for working Americans.''

      Metis called'cleverness' or 'intelligence' defeated the predecessor of Zeus.

      I think it is the best way for the next generation to live in illusion with shameless Gaia for ever. Leonardo risks his life and his teammates' lives for his children during inception.
