NFL millionaires and billionaires "Did you know that the National Football League is a nonprofit, and hasn't paid a dime in taxes since 1966? As a lifelong football fan, I was shocked to discover that I haven't just paid to watch games and bought NFL merchandise since I was 6 years old -- I've been paying higher taxes as an adult to make-up for the NFL's share."

Ummm... WHAT???!!!

The Story of Stuff Project (The link shows a 20 minute movie of the whole damn mess in a nutshell. And it's worth every second. It certainly seems discouraging and overwhelming, but the video and site also offers things you can do to stop the relentless machine. After all, like Annie says, it hasn't always been this way.)

And if the above video and information isn't enough, to show you just where we're at, putting economy (grubby, dirty money) above respect for LIFE:

Hedge Fund Manager Escapes Felony Charges Thanks to His Job

A wealthy hedge fund manager in Colorado has avoided facing felony charges for a hit-and-run accident because the local district attorney felt the charge could impact his high-paying job. Martin Erzinger, a fund manager at Smith Barney, allegedly ran over a cyclist with his Mercedes and then fled the scene. The cyclist suffered spinal cord injuries and bleeding from his brain. To the shock of cycling advocates, the local prosecutor, Mark Hurlbert, decided to charge Erzinger only with misdemeanors. Hurlbert said, “Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger’s profession, and that entered into it." (source)

WWHHHAATTTT????? (That's suppose to be me slamming on the brakes and rolling the car yet once again. I seem to be doing that a lot these days.)
