Buring the spot light too long?

I dont know about anyone else but I am getting pretty tired of all the stuff of Michael Jackson. I mean ok, he died, but do we really have nothing else to report on in this world other than Michael Jackson? Im sure we do.

Dont get me wrong, he had a long career, but personally I could care less about turning to every station and having to suffer through 2-3 hours of "Michael this and Michael that" only to get thirty seconds of REAL news.

Iran and the struggle

Let me start off by giving my support to the Iranian people and my condolences to the family and friends of Neda, The girl who was slain standing up for her god given right to freedom. We as Americans know the price of freedom well enough, We know the joys of freedom even better, But when there's a country seeking the very thing we take for granted every day...We sit on our hands waggle our finger and do nothing. So...where's the change we can believe in Mr President? Your so wrapped up in your image that your afraid to let the world thinks of you as anything less then the new age messiah. The presidency of the united states is not about strutting your stuff on the catwalk..It's about being an example to the free world...Showing people that freedom is something ALL people are born entitled to and that WE as Americans will ensure that any who cry out in the darkness of oppression and seek for that light of freedom WILL find it. Mr President It's time for you to stop pussy footing around on this issue and take a stand. These people need us...Not pretty words and threats of sanctions that will not work (see North Korea) But action. Fine if the world thinks were sticking our nose where it doesn't belong...I can live with that. Listen to your people Mr. President...We see kindred spirits in these Iranian youths...Lets do something for the greater good...Lets give something back to the world. Let's set these people free!

Peace in Iran

I know this will not be the only post out there on the web concerning the the protests in Iran. But I will go ahead anyhow and speak my mind on this.

I think that we as Americans should stand behind the Iranian people and support them in their quest for Democracy. Because how can we as Americans in a Democracy sit and say that it is so great to have all the freedoms we have throught said democracy but not help and support others that wish to have the same freedoms as we do?

We have all seen the footage of Neda and others DIEING for their freedom and decmocracy...how many more have to die before not only we as Americans but we as a global community step in and say "its enough"?

Now this next part may seem harsh and you can dislike it as you want but the way I see it we have a bad habit of putting our nose in where it doesnt belong and telling people that the democratic way is the only way and that they need to make it part of their life ...wether or not they want it..BUT...here we have people who DO WANT it and we are sitting on or hands while more people die...


If this is the change that "Yes we can" make in the world is watching people die for life liberty and the pursute of happiness like i get every day and not helping them...then it makes me sad to know my vote counted for nothing.
