My advice to use is carry on with your Spanish but see if you can download some spanish films, programmes and hopefully just listening and watching everyday will help you understand. It is one thing to know how to ask for bread in a shop but quite another to understand what their reply is.

You can't keep it empty, or it is possible it could pop out of the ground during a heavy rain. I know this sounds impossible, but it isn't. If it's underground, it's best to fill it with sand.

The wake up call really goes out to people like you Thom who fail to educate yourself about nuclear power and why it is here to stay and continue to replace coal for example. Just to add a fun fact, Fukushima actually withstood the tsunami/earthquake. Problem was that those who designed that facility placed the cooling pumps and emergency generators in the basement instead of a safer place on hi ground. There are over 100 nuclear plants being built world wide now so read and support nuclear power.

The "race card" played against those in the U.K. wishing to exit the E.U. is like a similar neo liberal strategy in the U.S. that is, in fact, a pitfall of identity politics. "Diversity," is extolled as a value of neo liberalism to take attention away from economic inequality and issues of justice of racial ,gender, sexual orientation, etc. are emphasized with the pointed exclusion of issues of economic or class justice.

It comes, in large part, from the '60s in the U.S. when labor was strong (and corrupt, having become "part of the problem" it reactionarily opposed social change) and there was a large blue collar middle class. What poverty there was in the U.S. then was race based, i.e., it was the result of racial discrimination. So, consequently, the liberation movements of the '60s were about racial rather than economic or class justice and a class consciousness and sense of class struggle never developed in the United States. Condaleeza Rice is Secretary of State, Clarence Thomas is is on the Supreme Court, Barrack Obama is President so everything's alright in America.

This is in contrast to Europe, where in France in 1968, for example, 10 million workers walked out in solidarity with leftist students in a nationwide general strike. One can't imagine something like that happening in the U.S. in the same period. Quite the contrary, here the "hard hats" started the "America, Love It or Leave It!" campaign and cracked heads of leftist young people.

Of course, Kend has to represent the element of ethnic intolerance. The Asian immigrants in Europe are subjects of the European empires, the Indians and Pakistanis in the U.K., the Arab peoples in France are of the formerly colonized people coming to Europe to enjoy the fruit of their own slave labor. The extravagant standards of living of the United States and Western Europe would not have been possible without colonial exploitation of non European nations.

I live in the UK so perhaps I'm allowed a few comments regarding the recent Brexit? When I was a child our politicians joined what was only ever meant to be a "common market" i.e. so that the countries involved could simply trade more easily together but then years later without recourse to the people of the UK our politicians signed the Maastricht Treaty which appears to have led the UK towards a greater "federal" Europe. I was old enough when this happened to be annoyed by this as it was clear that "those in Brussels" were moving towards a euro government which took away more powers from our own. I am happy that the people of the UK have finally been allowed their say in whether we wish to be ruled by people in europe who we have not elected or our own parliament. Our government is a long way from perfect but at least if we disagree with them we can get in a car and knock on their door!

Queenbeethat'sme, that's because the South wouldn't let African-Americans exit the plantation.

Better yet, let's imagine each affected voter allowed to vote yes or no on trade deals or mandated insurance schemes or wars..what was not possible prior to computers is easily collated and possible now...we don't need representatives to pretend to speak for us. modern technology can receive and categorize our votes..reps were used when individual votes were too far flung and too many to count. By

This article would have been even more appropriate (and fair) had Thom also mentioned the decimation and undermining of the US middle class by both NAFTA and CAFTA..of course then, that inconvenient truth about Clinton authoring those two outsourcing bonanzas might have damaged his narrative, some. But to really throw off the shackles, we must not only expose the slave masters but the slave pimps (Democrats) also.

President Obama seems to want us to believe that global trade and a global economy regulated by trade regulations written by lawyers of global corporations are normal and we should get used to it. I don't know what he's been smoking but I want some of it. John Lennon asked us to imagine. Let's imagine every country dismantling corporate written trade deals and only elected representatives writing trade policy written for the best interest of the workers in each country. The Wright brothers imagined flying machines carrying people. Ben Franklin and friends imagined starting a new country using the English colonies in America. It can and will be done if the people demand it

It's been quite clear that corpse elites and the public servants they purchase are incapable of honoring the contract of "good government." Government's authority must come from the people, and just as our founders resisted, we the people have a right to resist when the that contract has been violated.

The United States of amnesia seems to have forgotten it's enlightenment roots. July 4th is a good time to drink some beet juice, or whatever, and try to remember what that great struggle was all about.
