Sydney, Australia takes a stand against global warming

CLICK HERE

 ”Australia’s largest city was plunged into darkness for an hour Saturday night as Sydney underwent a self-imposed blackout to raise awareness of global warming.”

It’s about time people join together to fight global warming and pollution.  I just can’t believe that it took this long to do something.  Sure are groups, and Earth day and other such events to remind us of the global warming and pollutants that stand in our way, but the people of this planet seem to be making great strides in reverse when it comes to the environment.  I just hope that other people, and cities as a whole follow Sydney’s example, and make a difference.

Rarely do we see what it’s like through their eyes.  Living in a nation where the media limits what we see it is hard to get a grasp on what is really happening.  This short slide show gives more of a mellow view, but there is still some bloodshed.  Must I remind you that the deaths have now totaled over three-thousand?  I hope you enjoyed the short slide show.  t was brought to you by Yahoo News.

It is sad to see that there is still ventilation problems and these new quotas that force workers to mine more coal creating carelessness.   I just do not see how companies could be so careless when dealing with lives.  It is a sad world that we live in.  I think there would be less murder, less corruption, and less “accidents” if people could just put people first, consider the views of the people, and maybe use some morals once in a while.

Freedom of Speech violated-the word “Nigger” banned; TAKE A STAND FOR YOUR COUNTRY

One of my previous topics seen here discusses briefly the Patriot Act, and how it infringes on our right of privacy, not our freedom of, as our wonderful president Mr. G. W. seems to think it should be. The topic also briefly discussed education and the wrongs of the No Child Left Behind Act. But today I bring to you a very important topic at hand which has been covered multiple times across the media-but not enough. This is the issue of our freedom of Speech.

“It’s a dark day in NYC. Yesterday, the city of New York literally banned the use of the word nigger, in hopes to perhaps erase the slur from everyday use by musicians, Television, and more importantly, it’s citizens.”

Now if that is not in violation of the Civil Rights, then what is? This has simply gone too far. I recently stated in another students WordPress blog, here;

“Soon we’ll all be eating with chop sticks and plastic forks, when the banning of metal silverware comes into place…someday.”

This issue dealt with the topic of schools banning certain internet sites from students access at school on school equipment. However this same phrase above that I stated could just as well come into effect not only in schools, but nation wide. I may be exaggerating a bit, but it gets the point across. How far must it go until all our rights are violated-gone? Our privacy is already gone, a right to a good education is quickly deteriorating, and now the issue of freedom of speech is at hand? This is absolutely disgusting. This never should have happened in the first place. If it is a dictatorial country where only the wealthy capitalists are the top that you want to live in, then the United States is well on its sad way. However, if you agree with me, you will do something. Take a stand and speak out before it is to late. Someday, freedom of speech will not be an issue anymore, because;

“Next you know we will all be living in a 1984 society where pigs control the world.”
