As you will see, I don't only include my own writings in here. I try to post ideas from others that help you understand my plight. I also recently heard that the government is starting to think about regulating political "blogs." Without knowing all the information I am not sure if they are talking about regulating the blogs that are underground campaigns for particular partys and politicians...or if they are talking about regulating a journal like mine that poses a minor threat to their control. Here is a poem sent to me from a friend.
How would you feel if someone said that you couldn't have any say in the workings of the government today?
If they had a question and answer period what would you say?
Would you be brave enough to stand up for what you felt was right?
Would you be willing to take up arms and fight?
To defend what you believe to be true?
Or would you just sit there and let them take everything from you?
There is a time for sitting and keeping silent and a time for raising your voice but with out violence.
What time is it now?
Does it make any difference to you anyhow?
How long will this outrage of wars and killing last?
How long will our patience be put to the task?
Can you answer these questions for me?
Can you all get together and help me to see?
What is happening to this country that began with independence for all?
Someone must answer the call?
Will it be you or will you shrink away?
Hoping that someone else will show you the way?
Wake up Americans! Open your eyes!
Raise your voices and let the government hear your crys!
We the people are supposed to run this land
We the people are supposed to vote and make the politicians understand
That there is more here than making rich people richer
WE have men/women out their risking their lives every day
Because they believe in the American way
Stand up and be heard
Dont shrink in the crowd
Raise your voices
Raise them loud
We are all Americans and we all
need to see
That these other countries that are free
Look to us for help but we also have to understand
to only help them not take over their land
We shouldn't be were we are not wanted and push our beliefs on them
They have their right to speak up and make their own stand

If everyone would just think and use their minds and gather all the information available to them they can't help but see that we were duped and lied to and made fools of by our government. So that they could do what they wanted to do and not have us protest and cry out that what they were doing is wrong.
Someone has to start thinking and doing the right things in this world or there wont be one left. We have to make the people realize that they are all accountable for all the grief and death and unhappiness in this world. It is so easy to blame someone else for what we condone ourselves everyday by not speaking up and trying to help those in need of our help and minding our own business when we should. How easy it is to try and push your ideas and ideals on to others when they are weaker than you are and cannot fight back . This is how many people treat each other too. They look for the weakest one to pounce on and take advantage of that person until their will is broken and they cant fight back anymore. This has to stop and now. We are supposed to be there for the weakest and yet we are not supposed to overtake them and by doing so abuse their rights just as others have done before. What a sad situation this is especially when you can t make people understand what they are doing to these other nations. They just cant see it and sometimes I think alot of them turn away and pretend that it isnt happening so therefore they dont have to deal with it. how easy that is isn't it?? Let the other guy be at fault and you are clean of all that is happening around you and with your approval.
