Peter Sarstedt "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)

This guy(howie235) from youtube put together this video because he had a hard time understanding the lyrics. I think he did a very wonderful illustration to a beautiful song.

The 11th Hour

Everyone should watch this movie. I think we need to re-organize the White House and put every speaker from this film in a place of power if we want a sustainable life.

Innocent Voices

I watched this movie (Innocent Voices) based on Oscar Torres' life in El Salvador. It is about the civil war in El Salvador in the early 1980's and a young boy about to turn 12 which is the draft age. 12 years old is the draft age. TWELVE. The war is between the peasants who have an uprising and form a guerrilla army and the El Salvador government. The most dissapointing part is that our U.S. military fueled the war and trained these 12 year olds how to fight. How could this have happened? I was a baby when this was going on so I am not sure how U.S. citizens were re-acting but this is outrageous. How could we as a nation willingly support a governement that is training children how to fight? Who approved this? Those boys should have been playing football or worrying about who has a crush on who, they should have been in school learning math and science not how to shoot a machine gun. What happened there is just unacceptable and I understand we can not control other countries(even though our govn't tries) but we most definately should not be training little boys how to fight or supporting wars that are drafting boys under the age of 18 (I don't even think the draft is ok).
This movie was very eye-opening and very sad but I highly reccommend it. People need to be aware of what is going on outside their little bubble of a world.

Beads

If this was the 1600's I could own New York. Considering that Manhattan was bought for $24 worth of beads in 1626 and I currently own an un-disclosable amount of beads, I would be wealthy by 1600 standards. If only our currency was based on beads.......life would be much simpler.

Sierra Leone's Refugee Allstars

I saw this band at Langerado. They were displaced from their homes in Sierra Leone during the war and formed this band in a refugee camp. Their story is amazing and their performance was full of energy and good vibes. You should check out the whole documentry if you can.

Milk Comercial

Milk "Mother Natures way to say I love you". Who knew, this whole time I thought Milk was the dairy industrys way of trying to scam us.
