June 27, 2010 6 yr Old Terrorist
Homeland Security has done it again… Thanks to the new “Secure Flight Program.”
If any of you can recall the event where my friend accidentally left a knife in his carry on and it was never caught by the TSA, this is really going to shake your head at the bright individuals that work for our government.
Alyssa Thomas and her family were boarding for a domestic flight when they were pulled aside because her name turned up on a terrorist list. The FBI cannot say anything more about the mysterious list such as how many people are on it, who is on it or even why.
Whatever the case is, what the hell? Maybe the FBI has a good reason for putting a 6yr old on a terrorist watch list. It’s well over my head because I cannot seem to think of a good, legitimate or even bizarre reason. Funny thing is, a few months prior to the incident, they were in Mexico. No terrorist then?

May 8, 2010 Exaggerated Drug War
I recently watched a video I found from a friend posted on Facebook. This video is a highlight of Columbia SWAT in Missouri performing a raid on a family home in February. They only found a tiny amount of Marijuana in the home, enough to charge a misdemeanor . However, that is not the punchline. (Check out the link to the article here)
As they raided the home they shot the family’s kenneled pit bull and corgi seven times. The dogs were no threat. The family’s seven year old son was present as they fired upon the dog. In conclusion, the husband was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and the parents were charged with child endangerment. So second hand smoking from cigarettes are just fine? I pity ignorance and people who still believe marijuana is a threat to society. Comment this; I like to incite debate.
Watch the video———————>

April 5, 2010 Gun Laws
After reading a passage out of Glenn Beck’s “Common Sense” I had to share it. But before you start to bash Glenn Beck, read about his roots.
He does have a few things in his book where I had to disagree with but this got me thinking a bit:
There are many in Washington and in academic circles who want to leave you defenseless -they seek to compel you to rely on the government for your own protection. They believe that our best defense against gun violence is to hope that “the shooter will eventually run out of bullets.” READ ON:

February 26, 2010 The Standard of Living – Too far with Too Much Debt
I was watching a video and thought to myself, are we living outside of sustainability? HELL YES.
We are way too wasteful, but its so cheap to be wasteful than to be sustainable. (for the most part) Cheap products are cheaper than sustainable products, thats a pretty much given fact. This video gives a good insight—
Watch this video! This makes a lot of sense, and I think we really need to start realizing that we are spending and consuming outside of our sustainable area. America will be going through a huge standard of living. A huge change from being one of the countries with the highest standard of living.

February 10, 2010 Poll: Will we ever see our country turn back to what it once was?
So here is the scoop: I want to know what you all think about our country. Ideally I want you to comment on why you chose the way you did.
Our country has gone through A LOT of changes, some that have been considered the greatest of our time and few are considered the greatest changes of our nation. We have experienced one of the worst credit crunches since the great depression, we have a $12 trillion deficit, damn. We are just full of problems, but isn’t this how the cycle works? Are we just over exaggerating our problems or are we just sugar coating them?
Let me know!
So choose your answer and comment on why.
