Harvard’s Lawrence Lessig, founder of Creative Commons, on why Occupy Wall Street stands to become something bigger than mere protest, a unifier of left and right under the common goal of overthrowing a broken and corrupt political system. His new book, Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress – and a Plan to Stop It, is out this month and a must-read. (via)
Here are the booking photos of the eight members of an Amish sect who were ordered jailed by a Kentucky judge after they refused to pay fines for failing to affix orange safety triangles to their horse-drawn buggies.
The men, who were booked Monday night into the Graves County jail, refused to pay the fines on grounds that their religion bars them from wearing or displaying bright colors. Jailed for misdemeanor contempt of court, the inmates were provided dark-colored jumpsuits in place of the standard issue orange coveralls.
The defendants were hit with a range of time in the county lockup (between three and 10 days) by District Court Judge Deborah Hawkins Crook.
While members of the Swartzentruber Amish sect will affix reflective tape to the rear of their buggies, they eschew use of the bright safety triangle, which they consider too modern.
Why are we not seeing any mugshots of motherfucking Bankers and Corporate CEOs?
