The Coup in Benton Harbor, Michigan
with
Rev. Edward Pinkney, Community Activist & Leader in the Fight Against The Takeover of Benton Harbor
For the residents of Benton Harbor, Michigan the question is will America have prosperity & democracy, or live in poverty under the heel of open corporate power. Thereâs been a coup in Benton Harbor, First, Whirlpool controlled Benton Harbor & now the City of Benton Harbor has become the battleground for Michiganâs new emergency financial management law. The law gives an accountant, Joseph Harris, dubbed an emergency manager the right to tear up labor contracts. And, in Detroit district wide layoff notices hit every one of its Public Schools. The 5,466 unionized employees called the move the largest âone fell swoopâ firing of teachers in union memory. Additionally, the Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobbâs concurrent announcement that he plans to unilaterally modify the Detroit Federation of Teachersâ collective bargaining agreement is the first test of a sweeping new state law.

Cloacina -- Roman Goddess of Sewers!
May 14, 2011, 10:03 a.m.
One of the great, if often overlooked, architectural achievements of the Roman Empire was their sewer system. Although only the wealthiest homes had toilets per se, human wasste was flushed from public latrines that flowed through a central channel. Over time, the Romans expanded the network of these channels that ran through the city and linked most of them to the so called Cloaca Maxima (or the great sewer), which emptied into the Tiber River. In 33 BC, under the emperor Augustus, they enclosed the Cloaca Maxima, creating a large tunnel--making it similar in some ways to todayâs modern sewer systems. In fact, the Romans were so impressed by their achievement that they worshipped a goddess devoted specifically to their sewer system named Cloacina!
