In America we Burn Endangered Species ALIVE.






Obama Confirms: BP burning Sea Turtles

For those who don't know-

When Facebook created the "CAUSES" application;
I began one for the Sea Turtle Restoration Project.
We now have over 10,000 members and have raised close to $2,000 for STRP.

This oil spill in the gulf is very difficult for me to talk about without getting upset.
I encourage everyone to read the articles on STRP's website...
why?
this is what's going on right now...

We at STRP are trying to ban drilling. No Drill - No Spill.

We've launched a Law Suit against BP - they are burning Sea Turtles alive.

Please join the Facebook cause and Donate and go to the website and sign the petitions.
we need support.

Supreme double whopper court justice?

Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans cannot name a single member of the US SUPREME COURT!
Just 35% can name one member.

WHAT!?!?!?

wait...
I can only think of Sonia Sotomayor.
why?
because she's the first Hispanic Supreme Court judge?
because she's been in recent news?

Is this poll true!?
it is for me apparently.

This is crap. We all should know all of these people (not in a Hollywood celebrity way - then I'd vomit)
and we should be pushing communication with these people for the real change we want to see!

Lets figure out who these people are!

Maybe someone shares your birthday? your name? your hometown?
Whatever the dumb reason... lets figure out who these people are!
they make some kinda important decisions in this wacky country.

Memorial Day.
What was/is that holiday?
I think of Memorial Day - I think of BBQ, Baseball games, the beaches being packed, Summer, and family.

But... that has nothing to do with it.

Usually i'd post this article and then expound on it but-
this speaks for itself.

"For most Americans, Memorial Day simply marks the beginning of summer, said Andrew Bacevich. That's what it meant to me too, until 3yrs ago when my son was killed fighting in Iraq. Now, when I visit his gravesite, I'm haunted by uncomfortable questions about Why he and so many other brave Americans have died in the service of the country. We like to tell ourselves that "the fallen gave their lives so we might enjoy freedom," and certainly that was true of those killed in the battle of Gettysburg or on Omaha Beach. But in recent decades, from Vietnam to Bosnia to Iraq to Afghanistan, the connection between American military intervention and American freedom has become more tenuous. In playing world police man, the US repeatedly has become engaged in Never-Ending wars that we cannot win and cannot afford. It's easy to blame the politicians for sending young men and women to die in another nations civil war, fighting for goals no one can define. But as citizens of a democracy, we all bear some responsibility. Perhaps that's worth thinking about as we light up our barbecues and head to the beach."
