another well researched, well grounded and well written piece by Chris Hedges (below).  What an adventure it would be if we were to heed the warnings of the scientific, sociological and economic communities.  Can you imagine?

>> TRUTHDIG ORIGINALS:

Chris Hedges on Climate Change
"The Myth of Human Progress" -- The mounting distortions of climate change and the rapid depletion of natural resources have done little to blunt the self-destructive notion of ceaseless expansion. The road we are on points toward human extinction. 


Robert Scheer on Jack Lew
"The Inconvenient Truth About Jack Lew" -- I suppose that he can't be much worse than Timothy Geithner, but that should be scant cause for cheer over the news that the president has nominated Jack Lew as Treasury secretary. 


Bill Blum on Debt Ceiling Options
"Obama Is Right on the Debt Ceiling" -- According to the Obama administration, there is nothing the president can do on his own to raise the ceiling or maneuver around it. As much as some of us may disagree, Obama is correct. Here's why. 


TRUTHDIGGER OF THE WEEK
"Truthdigger of the Week: Aaron Swartz" -- Was Aaron Swartz, beloved friend, activist and computer programmer, a casualty of the U.S. government's vigorous campaign to silence champions of Internet freedom? 


POLITICS TODAY
"Colin Powell Talks GOP Racism, Paul Krugman Blasts Jon Stewart, and More" -- A look at the day's political happenings, including the Treasury Department's decision about minting a trillion dollar coin and another George Bush mulls a bid for public office. 

Keep on digging!
