Elizabeth Warren's 11 Commandments for Progressives. Oh yeah!

Courtesy of Vox:

1.  "We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we're willing to fight for it." 
2. "We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth." 
3. "We believe that the Internet shouldn't be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality." 
4. "We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage." 
5. "We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them." 
6. "We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt." 
7. "We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions." 
8. "We believe—I can't believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work." 
9. "We believe that equal means equal, and that's true in marriage, it's true in the workplace, it's true in all of America." 
10. "We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform." 
11. "And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!"

You know after reading that I want Warren to be Hillary's running mate in 2016 do badly I can taste it.

Damn that's good stuff!

Bertrand Russell's 10 Commandments for Teachers.

1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything. 

2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light. 

3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed. 

4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavour to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory. 

5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found. 

6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you. 

7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric. 

8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter. 

9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it. 

10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

Words to live, and teach by.
