It’s my third Sunday Report! If you’re new to my site (because it is already three weeks old (hardly a baby anymore) it’s the day where I allow myself to go off-topic and post about something other than beads. What you say? There is life outside of beads? I assure you there is. Beads are my escape from life. But with so much happening in the world today I feel it is our duty to pay attention to where it is we are heading. Not only for ourselves but for the generations to come. That said hold on here we go.
SOMEONE READ MY MIND
I had read a few articles over at Will Rhodes site “Oh For The Love of Free Time” and decided I’d probably become a regular reader of his blog. At the top there was a link called “political ethos” Being quite political myself, I was curious at what I might find. When I finished reading it and sat back and said “wow!” He had said EVERYTHING I have ever wanted to, but said it better. (He IS a writer after all) It was like having someone looking inside my head. I don’t want to get started on a political rant here but I do think politics is something more people should participate in on both a local and global level. After all it is your dime and they are supposed to work for you. Not interest groups, corporations and personal greed.
OMGOSH, NO INTERNET!!!
I don’t know if the Main Stream Media is reporting this, as I try to steer clear of fictional stories for the most part, but check this out. NO INTERNET in Iran parts of the Middle East and West Asia. Hmmmm…..let’s all get our blinders on.
MY SUNDAY RANT
If there was one thing I would change in this world, it would be for people to educate themselves about important issues and not rely on the MSM or interest groups that use pressure tactics and instill fear in people who try to correct deliberate attempts to mislead the public into accepting the terrible things that are going on in this world.
That said, I cannot let it pass, that the people of Palestine do not deserve the death toll that is climbing. You can read one account written by a brave Jewish woman here. I expect a backlash from this. I will get that part out of the way, I am NOT an anti-semite, I do not hate any race. What I am is someone who cannot turn a blind eye to human suffering and this has been going on for decades, it deserves our attention, and if it were our own families we would not dare keep quiet about it. Nor would we allow the media to ignore it (and we sure as heck would want to find out WHY it IS being gagged). I will take this quote straight out of that article “I am sorry if this hurts some of those who feel for the Jewish people and for their difficult history.” But this is happening right now, this very second. What happened to the Jewish people then, shouldn’t have. Just as what is happening NOW shouldn’t be.
Rant over. I could go on but I’ll leave my next awareness wish for next Sunday. I know my views are not very popular. But they are mine, they are genuine and you are free to have yours.
