Momentary Random Rant

As soon as school is over and I have a little bit more time, I am starting a new blog. It will be about media -- about things people should see but don't have access to and things we really don't need to see and are even undermining decency, common sense and democracy.

One of the first posts will be called, "If Americans knew..." It's not an original title, there are sites with that name. But I've just seen a video released in 2004 that I think would unite Americans on the far right and the far left if they knew what was really happening. It should be shown everywhere -- in schools and libraries, in town hall meetings and summer film series. It's about how the federal government has purposefully ignored or rewritten the US Constitution and international law to illegally arrest, deport, investigate and otherwise harass citizens, immigrants, librarians, even scuba diver shop owners, yes you heard right! I have two other videos like it that are even more in-depth, but this is a start. People should know these things if we say we live in a democracy.

Next up will be the deplorable coverage NBC aired and distributed last week. I hate to even rerun the image I have in mind, but I think it's important. The post will be called, "What were they thinking?!" And I've read op-ed piece they ran to justify it. Nonsense.
