Ban Bacon!

Rep. Alan Grayson from Florida (D) pointed out the contradictions of some Republicans recently. He called to our attention the disturbing fact that a large group of Americans are against everything President Obama does. I find it fascinating, that 'patriots','real Americans' would hope their President 'fail', and would show up to protests with disturbing images/effigies of the President. Not to mention during the campaign the racial cartoons and the infamous "Barack the Magic Negro" Song. I know it's a hard fact, but America is far from being "Post-Racial". So same of you say, "what about Democrats making fun of Bush and Palin?", If I recall correctly Bush's Skin Color wasn't an issue nor was Palin's, and I also think some of that went too far. We should be able to disagree with someone without demonizing them. What good reason does an American have to cheer at the loss of the Olympics being hosted in America? Some Americans have gone too far, this is not free speech, this is not patriotism. There is clearly a Racial undertone to all this. It is a fact that there is real diversity in the world, that people act and think differently according to their upbringing, but to demonize them for that is low. Taking the time to build meaningful relationships with the 'others' would prove they are much like ourselves, we would understand why they operate differently, and we would realize that small differences like skin color, don't matter in the bigger picture. So if you hate someones stance on things, rationally debate them, don't throw out degrading slurs, create bloody effigies, or burn their image. Gather your facts, build your argument, state your points clearly, and just be human!

Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story

We recently watched Michael Moore's new Film, and we were pleased. We brought up some of the subjects disscussed in the movie such as Foreclosures, Lay offs, Bailouts, Democracy and the Dark Side of Capitalism. We have to say this is a well balanced movie, you'll cry, laugh, get angry, and leave with some hope for the future. He poses a very interesting solution to our economic woes, and one worth starting a discussion about. His solution....Real Democracy, Plain and Simple, and not just in Government, but in Workplaces, where employees have a say in their pay, where they are treated like human beings with rights and so on. Come on! How many of you felt like you were in a small scale dictatorship everyday you went to work? How many of you? We've felt that way and its not right. How many of you are losing your homes?! Millions have lost a place to call their own. Capitalism, is a system that seems to be working against itself as of late, a little Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde action is going on here. All in all Must See Film.
