This site is new and is still a work in progress. If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact us!

Sorry, if you have joined McSpocky & Friends previously, I was not able to keep your old account information in switching to the new software. You'll need to make a new account. :(

The good news is that now there won't be two separate accounts for the site and for comments. It will all under one account now. :)

I have posted an actual photo of myself on my avatar here working on the computer, albeit somewhat rough and ready. Will get a better one up when I have more time.

Message to Cobalt and JS..... are they actual photos of you on your avatars??

Glad you made it in, TeresaO!

Ok- looks like I'm in then. Will try and work on my profile thing when I get back from the UK and have more time. Got to find my way around this site but looks good.

The headline of the right wing video about the poorest people being fined (in my post below) explains what the main topic of the lie on the video is. They're trying to scare people for no good reason. And some right wingers are falling for it. :(

You know why there are still a lot of people who are against the Affordable Care Act (Obama care) even though it has already saved a lot of lives? There are still people on the right spreading lies about it. I just saw a video on youtube where that was happening. Actually I couldn't force myself to watch the whole video. And of course, there are right wing commenters there adding their two bits and spreading even more lies and propaganda. I left a couple of comments there pointing out FACTS, even though most of the people on there won't believe anything I wrote.

Here is the URL of the video if anyone wants to take a look.

And here is a page with some actual facts.

If I'm not around much for the rest of the day, I'm working on my other site. (mooningsnowman.com) Spammers attacked the forums there, so I ended up removing them. I'm trying to add a shoutbox there instead.

    When a group treats everyone as if they are stupid it is no wonder that people catch on eventually. It is pretty amusing how the Republicans are the ones not catching a clue and keep on keeping on with their silliness.

    PERCEPTIONS V. REALITY ON WEALTH DISPARITIES IN THE US

    Would be interested to hear anyone's take on this as, personally, I found this quite horrifying. If this carries on into the future, what will be the outcome for our respective societies? How will this impact on future opportunities for our children and grandchildren? And is this a sustainable economic model within our capitalist systems and for a country's economic development?

    Just some of many questions I have.

    Excellent video, and thanks for sharing this. I have posted a few things on Newsvine in the past showing the wealth inequality in this country, and some of the radical right wingers think that's how it should be. Unbelievable!

    I'm going to share this video around some other places, the more people who see it, the better!

    Well, hope later we get some traffic on this, as I would like to know what others' perceptions are. I am trying to get something similar for the UK and some other European countries. Would be good to make comparisons if there is a pattern, globally, and if Europeans think along similar lines, or at least beginning to on wealth perceptions.

    I am hoping to post an article here later on Cyprus, and the banking crisis, and how that is impacting the population as it begins to take hold with austerity. As sequestration in the US (austerity??) begins to gather momentum, I am wondering what similar experiences will we be having on a range of various, especially on the potential of rising social unrest as a result. Will do that when I get back in June.

    I hope/wish you might be right.
    Here's URLs for the one child gun distributor. See how some of the guns are in pretty colors for the kids. How is a 4 year old going to differentiate a toy gun and one of these real guns? It makes no sense. It makes me angry too.

    Oh, yes. That is the website I read about, but then someone posted and said it had been taken down? Well, if that was the one. Hate to think how many are around. I just find it incredible that these weapons are not totally illegal. Maybe this is one gun issue that Pres. Obama could turn around and end once and for all, and impose an age limit on weapon training at the very least.

    I think they took the boy into care, but not sure if it was just temporary, or what has happened to the parents. One just has to hope that the mindset of some parents has been altered over this. I believe the Kentucky sherriff responded with "well, accidents happen".... geesz, I despair!!

    "McCarthy received not the normal dozens of questions, but more than 1,000. That appears to be an extreme case, but it’s not just her, either. As the New York Times reported, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew had to answer 395. By contrast, George W. Bush’s last Treasury Secretary received 49 questions from Democrats and 32 from Republicans."

    Republicans are screwing over America and America's citizens.
