just an observation

I find it funny that there are more links to videos on this blog so far than actual writing. I have to admit that I am a facebook junkie. That is America to me today. I keep in touch with more friends than I probably ever would without this sort of digital social network. I talk to people and know more about them than I ever would in the short period of time I talk to them on a weekly basis. I'm sure that there are people out there that know more about me than they ever wanted to know, as long as they click on my link. The point of this randomness is that I generally click on most links that people post (unless they mention overtly Christian overtones) because I find them fascinating. I am a fan of the written word. Believe me, I generally prefer books to the movies they become... but there is something about sharing short clips in this day and age. My fascination stems from the wondering of what made a person compelled to share the clip. Funny, serious, interesting.. doesn't matter. There are so many interpretations of a 2 minute clip that one could not get from a writing that takes two minutes to read. Heck, there isn't anything deep or meaningful meant from my little rambling. I'm just saying that please world, share your clips. They are just as fun to read in to as they are to watch.

If the world were a village of 100

My high school English teacher had a poster on her wall with the same information. I wrote it down in a notebook, and it sticks with me every moment of every day. When baseball stars and celebrities sign multi-million dollar contracts, I think of this movie. When the U.S. talks about how much debt it's in, I think of this movie. When a charitable organization asks for my help, I think of this movie. It is very powerful. It hurts to watch, and rightly so. I encourage everyone to watch it and share your thoughts. Were you surprised? Overwhelmed? Disappointed?

Secretary Chung and President Obama Auto-Tune Health Care

Oh my goodness! This is so funny! And I didn't realize 'til the night I watched it that when they say, "Kill your granny and save your life" they basically meant it! I'm surprised.

I'm not here to play the politics game. Obama is our president for the next four years, so I better agree with it. I know that he can't make a perfect healthcare plan. (In a democracy, the best you can hope for is 75% of your constituents to agree with you.) I think, though, that he should take more time to work it out. In a world where 24/7 news is the way to go, when Americans hear "Health care plan in the works" they jump on it without all the details, but Obama is the man in charge. He should know better than to put out a half-baked plan just because the people want it now.
