But what do I mean by "rigged" specifically? All these systems and industries are rigged to cheat you, to suppress you, and ultimately to suppress your human potential.

With all these systems rigged against you, how do you stand a chance of getting ahead? As every Vegas gambler knows deep down, the only way to beat the house is to not play against the house. Don't play their game, in other words.

 DWebb has posted an anon email, and that email has some right-on info.   One pc of the info is the fact that the Ohio school funding system is not legit..I post this with the hope that taxpayers/homeowners in Cleveland reject the Levy, Issue 107.  Tag this Cleveland Municipal School District, cmsd, Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland School Levy, school tax in Cuyahoga County, transformation plan, Mayor Jackson.

 The Ohio State Auditor's Office has put East Cleveland back into fiscal emergeny (click to link to Auditor's site).

Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. brought charges against 530 people over mortgage schemes that cost homeowners more than $1 billion, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

Four years ago in Ohio, there were 200,000 provisional ballots cast among a total 5.7 million votes. This was the most among any state other than California. (Federal law requires states to use provisional ballots when a voter's eligibility is in question or if their registration doesn't reflect a new name or address.)

Ohio tried to shorten its early voting period — until a federal court ruled otherwise.

Dear Guy & Sophia - K-9,

Today is my husband Dennis' birthday and this year I wanted to give him a very big surprise.

Dennis is one of our country's leading voices for peace and economic and social justice. He is a champion of the American worker and a hero to so many in Ohio, across the country and around the world. In endeavor after endeavor in his life, Dennis has never forgotten his values.

It was great to have today off --and to do two things I love to do--swim and eat.  I have a CWRU family connection and use of the pool there.  And, I love the days I get to visit the campus and relive the college milieu. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New voting laws in 23 of the 50 states could keep more than 10 million Hispanic U.S.

This sign came to my attention via Kathy Wray Coleman's email blast - check Ms. Coleman's reporting at http://www.clevelandurbannews.com/.   Anyway, my interest aroused,  I went to take a look for myself (and took this image) 

 Electing judges is not the right way to go, but in Ohio that's how it's done.

So how do you determine who to vote for?

Difficult for the layman - because in Cuyahoga County alone there are over 90 elected judicial offices - see following from Judge4yourself

In a rare show of common sense, the Plain Dealer actually heeded the comments posted to a story:

http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2012/09/clevelands_glut_of_vaca...

When this came out--I felt the usual nausea: the Plain Dealer printing propaganda to support the Land Bank, though the numbers were so obviously bogus.  I have been banned at the PD, so I rarely comment anymore.  I chocked it up to the same old...

In France, a new 75% income tax on individuals earning over a million Euro ($1.2 million) per year was announced today. Incomes of $150,000 will be taxed at 40%. French business owners and citizens are scrambling to leave the country to avoid the new legislation. This has been done to offset the billions being used to bail out failing banks and reckless government spending.
