Anyone who thinks Global Warming is fake....
....hasn't lived in Texas through the summer months. Haha but seriously, I really don't care if you believe in it or not. Its getting really hot outside. Its been 105 already a couple of times since I bought my handy indoor/outdoor thermometer. I have alot of stuff I want to blog about, MJ, SUV's, Iran, but I don't feel like writing paragraphs on all of this. So for today I am going to relax and wait for something really interesting to come along. Wait, wait, whats that? The oxy-clean guy died, well thats news worthy. I wonder if they are going to dissolve his body in a giant vat of that stuff? I seriously only got stuff that said "oxy power" and "orange oil" after his barrage of infomercials. Kind of like what "vitamin C" has done to all cold and flu products.

On a very serious note....
Neda and her father before the shooting.
Perhaps you have heard about this girl, Neda, who has now given her life for the demonstrations in Iran. I really don't need to talk anymore about why they are doing this demonstration and what is going on over there. I hope you have gotten to see the video that was hosted on many sites of her. I want to talk about why these type of videos are important. A lot of people say there is too much violence on the internet, not enough censorship. Thats probably true about the violence, but what makes it unique is that it is always your choice. Its free, and it can spread like wildfire. Think of what it would be like in America if we were censored like Iran has been, limiting their bandwith so they can't stream videos to the outside world. Without this transparency they could do a lot more harm, now they know people are watching, they know there will be repercussions. They know they will be judged by more than just their God, for what they have done.
The latest report said that the man who shot Neda was a paramilitary volunteer policeman disguised as a civilian. He was on a rooftop nearby and shot her in the chest. I guess it was close to the heart because she died very soon thereafter. What a F*CKING coward, that guy. If this was war, and he was a sniper and she was a soldier, all would be fair. But this is in a demonstration, where people are getting beat up just for being there and showing peace signs. They are not allowing foreign reporters to report. The have their backs against the wall and they are scared, scared of change, and scared of different people getting power. Thank God for the internet and video, and thank the people that are brave enough to tape and upload this footage. They are the new voice of oppression in their country. Thank them.
