This blog is about my take on what's going on in the world. Whether it be national politics, the world economy, or anything else that I feel people need to be informed about. My intent is not to offend anyone, but to get you to think about what is actually happening in the world around you.

In Less Than A Minute Alan Grayson Explains Occupy Wall Street To The 1 ...
This is a perfect explanation of the core principles behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. Numerous people are upset about a variety of issues, but eventually they all boil down to a few key points. Accountability has not been shared in the economic downturn of the last few years. This fact has left millions jobless, hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes, and what happened to the elite that put us here? They sit in their high-rise offices and penthouse suites sipping champaign because they were able to convince our politicians that the American people should pay for their mistakes. Corporate greed and the misleading of investors into so-called "AAA" rated securities are just a couple examples of why this happened. Do the people of this country have a right to be upset? Absolutely. Are they un-American for protesting the direction that this country has taken? Certainly not. If protesting against injustices against the common people was un-American, do you honestly think that we would have what we call The United States of America in the first place?
Apparently Jiniki hearts everyone hahahaha But I totally agree with this. They say we have freedom of speech and protesting is part of that right. However, I do believe that there are some fine lines between what is appropriate and what is not
