Frustrated with Corporate Control of Politics? Angry over unjust Housing Foreclosures? Big Bank Bailouts? Continuous War? No Change?

That is why a group of us has decided to take the power back and come together on a broad based front, united against a common threat. Join us at the People's Settlement, a week of action dedicated to focusing on various corporations in the downtown area; from Bank of America's bailouts to Peabody Coal's unethical energy to the prison industrial complex to Anthem's blocking of real healthcare reform.

According to tradition, it takes 18 years to learn Sanskrit, and even then you don't know it. You have to come back for another 18, and then another, and then another life, and on and on... Somebody has been posting a flyer, "Learn Sanskrit: It's Fun and Easy." My own flyer read "Learn Sanskrit: It's Fun But Not Easy." Pali, a canonical language of the Buddhists, is easier, but still difficult and challenging, especially when we read Buddhist religious texts. Ardhamagadhi Prakrit is much more difficult, because the grammars, readers, and dictionaries, if available at all, are not in English.
