I’ve recently had a break up of a very long relationship. No need to go into details. We both love (or loved) each other but there were trust issues on both sides that ultimately ended it. What hurts me the most is we had been in a relationship long enough that there was talk of buying a house together and even kids.
I know…I was surprised as well. Not only that those topics were brought up but also that I was considering it.
What I can’t help but think is what would have happened to my relationship if there was a home/marriage and kids involved? Would they have saved my relationship or simply kept me in a bad situation longer than I should have been?

I came across a movie trailer for a documentary called Jesus Camp. Needless to say I was quite scared and worried upon seeing the trailer. What upsets me even more is there seems to be no problems or concerns with “religious” organizations teaching children to live or more importantly die for the religion. Am I the only one that is seeing this kind of thinking is moving away from our core American values and instead even moving closer to extremism, the very thing we are suppose to be fighting?
I watched Hotel Rwanda recently. It was a very moving film. It made me angry, laugh, cry and motivate me to get involved and not stand by. However, after some time passed and I was watching the special features of the DVD, I got very upset. Who I was upset with was surprising. I was upset with myself. I was upset with my Country, the UN and the “civilized” world.
Here was one man fighting to save 1,200+ people from being killed. Yet we as a nation and a world, did nothing. We turned our backs, turned off our TVs and went on with our lives. Ten years later, we create a movie detailing this story and the story of roughly one million people in Rwanda being killed. We nominate the film for an award, pat each other on the backs for “bringing the truth” out in the open. But what about stopping this behavior? Why aren’t we ashamed of our complete lack of a response back then?
The worst part? This is happening yet again in a place called Darfur. History repeats yet again. When will we learn? Or do we just not care because they are in another country and of a different color?
I came across a video about a possible 9/11 cover up and/or the events that happened were possibly not the true events that happened on 9/11. The video makes for a very powerful argument but it’s interesting because it tries to lay claim to being "the truth" just as much as the government. Is it true? Is it a bunch of fragments of information taken out of context? Watch the video and see for yourself.
