(The Earthing Movie) The Earthing Movie is a documentary that reveals the scientific phenomenon of how we can heal our bodies by doing the simplest thing that a person can do -- standing and walking (grounding electrons) barefoot on the raw earth. See earthingmovie.com.
Barefoot earthing
There are many health benefits and a few risks associated with going barefoot in modern cities. Shoes, while they offer protection, can limit the flexibility, strength, and mobility of the foot and can lead to higher incidences of flexible flat foot, bunions, hammer toe, and Morton's neuroma.
Walking and running barefoot results in a more natural gait, allowing for a more rocking motion of the foot, eliminating the hard heel strike and generating less collision force in the foot and lower leg [1][2].
There are many sports that are performed barefooted, most notably gymnastics, martial arts, and swimming, but also beach volleyball, barefoot running, barefoot hiking, and barefoot waterskiing.
Historical and religious aspects
Buddhist monks are obligated when on alms round to do at least part of it barefoot. While this is regarded as a mark of respect, it may have been implemented for its many health benefits.

Buddhist monks line up barefoot to accept their late morning meal offered by donors.
Zen Buddhist monks and practitioners engage in kinhin or "walking meditation" barefoot or in natural (cloth or straw) sandals for best results, touching the earth and grounding.
The ancient Greek Spartans required boys to go barefoot as part of their obligatory military training [3], and the athletes at the ancient Olympic Games typically participated barefoot and naked [4].
Although the ancient Greeks had a great variety of footwear, many—famously including Socrates [5]—preferred to go barefoot [3]. More

(Desi Lydic on The Daily Show) Trump debuts cologne and sneakers and Nikki Haley won't drop out
We prefer our news fed to us by comedians and commentators (who sometimes even dare to question the mainstream media narrative, though largely the late night guys toe the party line to a shocking degree, whereas Jimmy Dore is more interested in truth than what the networks enforce on their shows).

The song title refers to the police statement: “You have the right to remain silent.” Frontman Chino Moreno says: "I wrote it back when I was 16 years old. It’s probably one of the angriest songs I’ve ever written. It was about being oppressed by...the authorities. I felt like the whole world was against me. It was like I was lashing out at those people." Police lash out against minorities due only to their style or skin color, when they have done nothing wrong at all (Genius Lyrics).
I'll never be the same, break in decency
Don't be tree trunk, don't fall on my living roots
I've been humming too many words, got a weak self-esteem
That's been stomped away from every single dream
But it's something else that brought us fees
Keep it all inside 'til we feel we can't unleash
But I think that you made it up, I think that your mind is gone
I think you shouldn't have glorified, now you're wrong!
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
They f*ck in my head!
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck it, pig!
You and me, out here alone
Face flat along the edge of the grass
But I'm not here to preach, I'm just sick of looks
My parents made me strong to look up that glass
So why should I try? Act like I'm a little pissed off
With all that sh*t that needs to stay back in the shell
Your punk ass made it up, now your f*ckin' mind is gone
Should've never glorified, now you're right!
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
They f*ck in my head!
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Suck, suck, suck it, b*tch!
B*tch, you don't know me
Shut up, you don't know me
Squeal like a pig when you
Pickpocket, big f*ckin' head!
Well, I'll tell you about my blunt stack
What's coming back, Jack? We'll turn back
Curse, fighting their words, tell them that you f*cking heard
I mean, they know that's what's coming, n*gga, you quitter
I'm thinking about something naughty and won't tell anybody
So, thinking of me by now, but you go grab it
I'd like to think, for who I down this sh*t
I belong where they be
Because we cannot get back those lives
Resist to cease, understand?
God hates black shades and all the clergy
Mr. P.I.G., could I f*ckin' see?
Shorty done crushed all of my brothers' dignity
And to the jury, carry your turns on my skin this color
Does that mean I'm burnt?
'Cause your punk ass made it up, your f*ckin' mind was gone
Just as in the days of the Buddha, fish will be poisoned on a mass scale. The result for the Buddha's own relatives, the Shakyans, was to be slaughtered in an attack by a neighboring (and related) warrior clan. Can the results be any better for the U.S. as it undertakes a plan to kill fish in the Great Lakes?
"Mr. Hyphen" redefines image of Asian-American men (AP) The six men on stage included a poet, a break dancer, and a filmmaker. They pounded rhythms on the dhol drum, modeled fresh fashions, slathered whipped cream on bare skin and discussed their passion for community service. This is the "Mr. Hyphen" contest, a faux pageant in the San Francisco Bay area aimed at redefining the image of Asian-American men...
Google once had a creedo, which was "to do no evil." Those were the days. As Google takes over the world and makes it costlier to live in, will people switch their searches to GoodSearch.org and other innovative search engines? Will Microsoft's "Bing" gain the upper hand?
BAGHDAD (AP) – The Iraqi television reporter who threw shoes at former President Bush in one of the more bizarre episodes of the Iraq war might use his new iconic status in Iraq to promote humani-tarian causes. Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the reporter is to be released Monday. He will be greeted by a nation of many who feel his act spoke for them. More>>
Journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi hurled two shoes at then-U.S. president George W. Bush during a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on 12/14/08 (AP).
CBC -- A Baghdad courtroom turned chaotic Tuesday after the case of an Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at former U.S. president George Bush was adjourned to Thursday.
Muntadhar al-Zaidi drew applause and shouts of support in the courtroom and the hallway outside during his brief court appearance.
He has been incarcerated since Dec. 14, when he hurled two shoes at Bush and called him a "dog" during a joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki.
Televised around the world, the incident propelled al-Zaidi to hero status to many in the Arab world. More>>
