Free, Tolerant, and Happy - International - The Atlantic

The US follows the stats for nations with high levels of economic freedom in all measures except equality. In that respect, we fall far short. The author notes that we need to keep that in mind when we consider the future--for people at the top to have more, the people on the bottom don't need to stay so far down. The rising ocean should raise all boats. Our income inequality is closer to Cambodia, Azerbaijan, and other SE Asia and former Soviet countries that with the rest of the English speaking world (except UK) & Northern Europe.

Bad WiFi

Well, it's not Blogger that's stopping me from adding images to my posts. I'm at work using the WiFi provided by the City of Rock Island to access the Internet and it's too inconsistent. The signal keeps dropping out and the images are getting lost in the process or the server times me out because the lapse is too long.

I'll have to try from home—when and IF I remember!! Not only am I pretty busy, but I have "old-timers" disease too!

Some Activities 2006-2007

I've been busy—evidently too busy to make any additions to this foray into the blogosphere. But since I have to blog for one of my classes, I thought I'd try to add to my existing spaces.

For a quick list of what's kept me busy and involved, here's a few pics:



Bruce Braley and Barack Obama waiting to take the podium at the Braley for Congress Rally in Davenport, Iowa, September 2006.



John Edwards surrounded by the press at the Scott County Democrats Red, White, and Blue Banquet, Davenport, Iowa, February 2007

Joe Biden on stage at the Scott County Democrats Banquet

I tried to add more photos, but the program failed, so I'll make another post.

I am Liberal and Proud

This site is one way that I am making my claim to the original "L-Word"!

I will be getting off to a SLOW start as I experiment with several formats for blogging. In the meantime, visit http://www.qcprogressiveaction.org.

Keep working for progress,

Diane
