Thats just the way it is...some things will never change...don't you believe it
Words from one of my favorite songs of all time; The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby. I saw The Motorcycle Diaries tonight, so I got to thinking; a lot. The movie is about a man named Ernesto Guevara (also known as "CHE" or Che Guevara. It chronicles his trip with a friend in which they drove most, if not all, of the way from bottom to top of South America. Over the many months of their journey, they were exposed to the injustices found throughout the many countries. Che became the man who started a revolution. In 1967, the CIA is accused of capturing and killing Che, mainly because of his ties with Fidel Castro. After seeing the movie, I'm not sure what happened, but I plan to learn more.
Meanwhile, there is an even more intriguing case on our own continent, the case of Leonard Peltier. He is a native american that was wrongfully imprisoned and is considered by many organizations, including Amnesty International, to be a political prisoner. To learn more about his case, see LeonardPeltier.org and FreePeltier.org
Sometimes, I'm so ashamed of our country, I just don't know what to do. Maybe its all an illusion, but what if I'm wrong? Maybe this reality is all there is, and what am I doing to improve it?
This one is going to take some time to digest.

There are many apparent injustices in the world, but keep in mind that we can only control ourselves. If you dwell on the negative, "it will become your reality". Each of us must continuously learn, and use the knowledge to help us to lead a positive and constructive life. If we are successful, we may influence others by our example. The old adage that you will reap what you sew, is true. Give only positive vibes, and your world will be positive.
