New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

The artist of this poster made his point clear, and it makes it hard for readers not to take his call to action. Thank you for sharing, and I am sure your readers have seen similar or even better ones, why not ask them to share?

I think focusing on Wall Street’s bonus payouts would be effective: the last two
years saw the largest NYC bonus totals, outside of the record breaking 3-year
stretch from 2005-2007. See charts below for details:

The government made the banks whole, they need to provide relief to
homeowners caught in the worst economic crisis since the 1930’s.

Now here’s a thought based on heaps of tangible evidence: It’s the “lower powers” right here in “the human realm” that are bringing the U.S. to its knees.

When 9/11 struck politicians should have humbled
themselves and ask the nation to get on their
knees and pray for guidance but no they stood at
the podium, pounded their chest like some ballplayer
and said we will be stronger.  Well, let’s wait and
see if they become stronger.  My money is says “No”
they will not be stronger but don’t worry God will
eventually bring America to it’s knees.

“before we get together
be sure you know exactly what to do.
the futures undecided.
the time is right for finding something new.

what are we waiting for
Open The Door!
NOW!

with revolution on everyones mind
its only a question of time
before the whole country steps out of line.”

“Step Out Of Line”  Saturnalia
