Is everyone stupid anymore?

I made a statement many many years ago, some of my friends might remember. I said then and still believe, television has been the greatest invention ever known to mankind, and will also be its downfall. When I was a child I very much remember the news and ads on television were presented more as a learning experience, more for information. Compare that to now where everything you see from commercials, to news, to reality TV is a deadly serious attempt to create a situation where people buy and consume without even realizing what they have done. This mindset presents a world that wonders aimlessly, waiting to be told what to do next and how to feel about their surroundings. Gone are the days when people questioned their leaders and looked beyond the headlines to seek out the hidden or less than obvious meaning in the world today. Why are there no more vocal passionate leaders or speakers? Wake up people, smarten up. Question what you hear, question even harder what you are told. If this

Kicking ass is cool.

On Tuesday John McCain was asked by a reporter about trade policy with Iran, current policy is supposed to be that trade is limited to Medical, and Agricultural shipments. When asked his thoughts on why exports to Iran increased by 10 fold under the Bush administration with the largest export being cigarettes McCain responded with "Maybe that is a way of killin 'em". I actually saw and heard the interview....he said right after that that he was only kidding....but given the current issues regarding Iran is he really just kidding or is it a sign of things to come?Furthermore if that were something said by a democrat they would be hammered in the press...this is simply because the democrats have failed to stand up for their points of view out of fear for being portrayed as soft on whatever it is the conservatives are selling that day. How many times must we see the results of the ass kicking before we understand human nature (Animals in general) is to dominate. That is why

Here comes more terror.

Everyone needs to pay attention to the current renewed hype over labeling Iran as a terrorist group...that is the way Bush created the current war in Iraq. With the new laws after 9/11 it allows the President to bypass congress more than ever and allows him to hide more information and detain those they deem "Enemy Combatants"(until the federal courts decide what an acceptable time limit should be). If I could stress just one thing it would be... EVERYTHING is related....

Mr President?

Well, as I said I sent everyone the link to this blog and a very close friend conveyed the first question/topic. Is America ready to have a black President? Will he be assassinated or will he be OK because he has Caucasian blood as well? For now, I will simply respond with... look what the last white guy did!

Here we go again.

The following information should scare the hell out of everyone. Posted at about 12:30 PM today. TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran tested more missiles in the Gulf on Thursday, state media said, and the United States reminded Tehran that it was ready to defend its allies. Washington, which accuses Tehran of seeking nuclear arms, said after Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday there should be no more such tests if Iran wanted the world's trust. U.S. leaders have not ruled out military options if diplomacy fails to assuage fears about Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran says is only to produce electricity. Followed by this: By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer 6 minutes ago NEW YORK - Oil prices rebounded sharply Thursday from their recent tumble of nearly $10 a barrel, as another missile launch in Iran heightened worries among traders that escalating political tensions in the Middle East could cut off supplies out of the region. A day after Iran tested a missile capable of reaching I

A New Venture

Well let us begin. I sent an e-mail to everyone on my mailing list informing them of my newest effort to change the world. I decided to start this blog in an attempt to share and spread what knowledge I may possess on a great many topics, in an effort to strike a nerve and force people to "talk". Every great change or "revolution" if you will; starts with a simple idea. So let's get this started. Feel free to speak your mind about any and everything, I will moderate only when needed. I promise everyone this, even if I feel I can't post a response, I will at a minimum respond to it and try to convey it in a more suitable context. I will even ask others ( Privately ) if I should in fact post it before I decide to or not to post anything in question.
