i think is very difficult to compare injustices quantitativeve to see whwhich ae better or woworse. it's not profitable to d do tha, there are uniquque attributes to the way in which t the civil liberties are being jusustified. the first of those unique attributes is all of the civil liberties abuses are taking place within the context of multiple wars. the reason why that is so important is because the number one tactic of the government in vogue, true since the e historyf war was begun, is the enemy y of the war has to be dehumanized, has to be completely demonize to the point of almost subhuman state of nonexistence. the reason for this is even the most sociopathic citizenry will not sustain very long a knowledge that it is supporting a continuous killing of their fellow human beings. it's why those people have to be dehumanized, so that knowledge can be abated. what you have over the past 11 years of continuous bombing and killing and attention and torture is the continuous dehumanization of the victims of this violence which no most every case are muslims. you have a american p

a lot of those key provisions, whwhich were considered far sighted reforms in north carolina, were reinstatedthe other big one that came down was the shooting down of the legislative districts, which have been so heavily racially gerrymandered in north carolina. the upshot of that is next year, they will have to redraw the maps for at least 28 seats in the house and senate. that will affect over 50 races in the state. while the conservatives in power in north carolina have been able to engineer these lines down to a science to ensure they could preserve, conserve, and control, that means next year, a lot of these will be redraw on. a lot of them will be competitive again. i think that will make north carolina a very interesting state to watch in 2018. amy: i want to talk about north carolina as the site in the soututh also of trump support ad what that means. we're going to go to breaeak first. we're talking to chris kromm, executive director of the institute for southern studies . this is democracy now!, democracynow.org. we are north carolina. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: performing a

in my profession of economics, we have a great philosopher with whwhich all economics cours begin. his name is adam smith, and he's famous for the followowing linene: "if everybody pursues his or her own self-interesest, it'll w work ot for the best for everybody." most of you know that that's silly. it's a wonderful rationale to go out there and do what you want for yourself and not care about anybody else, but where that leads is exactly where we are... in a very, very bad crisis. so, let's begin by analyzing this crisis as the crisis of a system. and we'll go on to talk about this system even when it's not in cririsis, because that's as big a problem as the crisis itselelf. but crisis is where we are. 2012 is the fifth year of this crisis. what does that mean? first and foremost, it means that we have in the united states today something on the order of 20 million to 25 million people who either don't have a job at all, have been without a job long enough that they've given up looking-- so-called discouraged workers-- or folks who have to take a part-time job because that's all

"we keep away f from spanish politics." they are clearly left-wingers. that's very obvious. but they'y're very afrd of the--theyey don't want to become part of the struggles among the parties, so they're very--and every government now needs them. every spanish governme
