US citizens: call on Clinton and the DNC to reject private prisons and stop employing their PR representatives.

Everyone: call on Goldman Sachs to return the half-billion profit it got from conspiring with the Greek government 15 years ago.

"Microaggressions" refers to ways of speaking that might be minor insults. Here's an offered list of typical ones.

The author calls all of them blameworthy attacks, and many of them really are such because they reflect derogatory stereotypes. We should learn not to think about people in those ways.

However, I disagree about some entries in the list. A few of them amount to saying "I'm not a racist"; that claim may not be true (it is hard to avoid unconscious racism), but making the claim is not insulting anyone. Others of them say that "Society should not be racist"; that's not a insult, it's right.

Some people have trouble learning and remembering unusual names. It's not their fault and reflects no ill will.

A friend with an unusual ethnic background told me she has often experienced statements in the "Alien in One's Own Land" category, and the people who say them are generally either impressed or simply curious — not hostile at all.

Insulting someone must not be a crime. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to insult anyone, and not only in these indirect and minor ways. However, with a few exceptions where there is cause, it is better to try not to insult people.

Since Jeb Bush is proud of Dubya's torture policy, look at what that included.

The EU banksters recognize that the "bailout" will only increase Greece's debt, but insist on doing this to Greece anyway. However, they will have trouble doing it if the IMF won't join in.
