Capitalism - Feudalism without the Kings
Tax the Rich

Website Wednesday

Helen Thomas said it simply and correctly re: Obama: He lacks courage. But perhaps not ego. For me, it's coming down to ego which explains his run for presidency. He ran on Change We Need. Nice and simple, but it didn't happen. The rich are still rich, the poor are still poor and the rhetoric is still hollow. I'm waiting for his justification for signing the bill to allow for the indefinite detention of US citizens. I will be surprised if he follows through on his veto threat. But I've become so jaded because even a veto means nothing; a hollow gesture if Congress has enough votes to override. And don't get me started on Plan B birth control.

Simple can be good in politics (good for getting elected, not so good for a constituency always) and it can be good with pictures. Working on the premise that none of us have much free time during this season, my website pick is:

http://500px.com/

All pictures, but many are thinking pictures and worth a long look even with the possibility of photo shopping today. Click below the picture for your language choice and then click along for all types of pictures, popular or editor's choice. Only captions to read so it's easy work.

500 px (it's really 5 followed by the infinity sign on the web page) is a site for photographers and it says about itself: 500px is a group of individuals that live and breathe photography. We like to share art with others and have the means to do so. Our small company is based in Toronto and from there we broadcast the awesomeness. We truly enjoy what we do.

You register to show your pictures; viewing is free. Just a look at In dreams I can fly by Manuela Kulpa makes the trip worthwhile. Enjoy.
