Some of the loonier demands from its independent thinkers: Striking all existing public and private debt from the books across the "entire planet"; elimination of all international borders; free college education; a guaranteed "living wage" for all regardless of employment; an end to free trade; trillions in additional spending for infrastructure and ecological restoration; and ending the fossil fuel economy.” WantBookEndsEconomyStreetsCollegePlanetsWallDemandIndependentTradeInternationalDebtSpendingEmploymentBordersConfusedFuelCollectivesThinkerFossilsInfrastructureRestorationFossil FuelEcologicalEliminationFree TradeCollege EducationLiving WageOccupy Wall StreetFuel Economy Author:Mike Rosen

“I went off to college, a good, middle-class, very proper college, a Brethren institution, where two years of Bible study are required for graduation. It was a good, sound, thorough, but completely biased evaluation of the Bible, and I was delighted with it, because it helped to document my doubts; it gave me a framework within which I could be critical.My independent study continued for 20 years after this. So I do know the Bible very well from a Protestant point of view.” KnowsYearsWellsTwoSoundViewsClassStudyDoubtMiddleCollegeIndependentInstitutionsCriticalPoint Of ViewMiddle ClassTwo YearsDocumentsFrameworkDelightedProtestantsThoroughBible StudyBrethrenBiasedEvaluationOff To College Author:Madalyn Murray O'Hair
