I'm confused

Does our shopping help or not?

Why bail out banks easily, but have to send student loan bail outs all the way to morally bankrupt SCOTUS?  

Of course, the money addled, right wing supreme court won't allow the people loan forgiveness.  
They don't even have to beg for ethical forgiveness

But they are probably right.
We would probably just spend the money on booze and women...

Booze and women just don't get the economy moving enough

Doesn't satisfy that money jizz

So our big duty when our nation was attacked in 2001, was to shop.  This is what we offer to our nation, our world.

I can't afford it, fuck-o

But that's okay because banks are more important than people?

How does scotus have a right to make these decisions when they are bought and paid for themselves?

tricky shit

I love this idea.  I love the name, The Opal.  I'm weirdly jealous.

Copied from Wikipedia: 

The Opal (1851–1860) is a ten volume journal written, edited and printed by the patients of the Utica State Lunatic Asylum, circa 1851. On its more than 3,000 pages, writers talked of their experiences and world views, giving great insight to the environment of New York's premiere state-operated Asylum, in Utica, New York. Themes that continuously arose in the poetry, prose, political commentary, and articles about insanity include issues concerning medication, restraint, seclusion, human rights, liberty, overcoming oppression, and support.

Influenced by Dr. Amariah Brigham's belief of "the curative value of mental occupation," his successor, Dr. Nathan Benedict, launched this publication by the patients of the asylum.

This article, referenced on the Wikipedia page, is interesting, touched a nerve.  If I ever open a hobo house, it will have a periodical.

It would be great if these volumes were digitized.  I'd love to spend time with The Opal!

This time that I spent with The Opal (1851-1860) was precious to me. I laughed. I cried. I became enraged and then inspired. --Lauren J. Tenney (author of the linked article, Who fancies to have a Revolution here?)
