Terrorstorm

An acquaintance of mine passed along a DVD that I must share with all of you. As I mentioned in the previous post, my disgust for the actions of our government grows every passing moment. I have never been a "conspiracy theorist", but this DVD really made me think. The DVD that was passed along is called "Terrorstorm".

Will you stand by and beleive everything the Government says?

See the first 6 minutes of "Terrorstorm" on Youtube.

Trust nothing. Question everything.

For those of you who are ready to point fingers and label those of us with a different viewpoint, know this:

"When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest".

Liberal and Loving It!

I am what you might call a "liberal". I live in one of the Nation's most liberal cities, I hold liberal opinions dear to my heart. I support equal rights for everyone and vehemently oppose neo-conservative viewpoints. I oppose the war in Iraq but I support our troops (despite what most think, this is possible). I can't sand George Bush or his cronies, but I have Republican friends. I may not agree with their viewpoints, but I love my friends nonetheless. This is what makes America.

However, since 2000, my concern about our Government grows and I become angry. I become angry that in this day and age politics has nothing to do with the people, it has to do with profit. Cronyism has cast it's ugly shadow upon one of the few shreds of democracy we have left. Did you know that during election time I can't cast a vote and receive a copy of who I voted for? I have to place my faith in technology and assume that my vote was cast correctly. If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to watch "Hacking Democracy". I challenge anyone to watch this without becoming angry. The almighty dollar and the good 'ol buddy system go hand-in-hand come election time and it seems that voting can be tampered with. This documentary shows how easily this can be done, and how shady elections can be. To my conservative friends, fret not. This isn't some liberal propaganda out to smear the GOP's "good name". If you watch, you will see that no favoritism is shown to either party. Either can cheat to their heart's content and never be caught. Gotta love it.


If you don't have HBO, our friends at YOUTUBE are kind enough to host it. Here's a link to the first 9 minutes of Hacking Democracy. You can find the rest at Youtube if you are interested.

Watch it. Keep an open mind. Learn. Tell a friend.

HOWDY HO!

Well HOWDY HO, neighbors! Good Lord it has been a while. There has been a lot going on that has kept me away. Let's see... Put the AZ home on the market, took a new job in Austin, relocated without the wife and kid (only for a month), found a new home, purchased new home, flew back to Arizona to get wife and kid, drove in a minivan with 2 cats, 3 dogs and my wife and kid from Queen Creek, AZ to Austin, TX in one day. Good times!

We made it, but not with losing our sanity about 96% into the trip. You know...the point of a road trip where you giggle like a madman at absolutley nothing? Not just laughing, but LAUGHING like Mutley from "Wacky Races" laughing. You know... laughing and wheezing at the same time? Anyhoo... the road trip is behind us, we finally sold the house in AZ (after nearly 7 months on the market and lowering the price by $50K...grrrr...) and we have setteled into the new home quite nicely. Our baby even celbrated her one year birthday party in the new home. Here's to being back in Texas and moving on into our next phase of life. :-)
