The Rant of the Day

Is nothing sacred anymore? The Olympic Flame had to be extinguished five times in Paris. FIVE TIMES! A once proud flame, a flame that has burnt through wars (hot and cold), embargos, hostage situations, good times, bad times, for thousands of years! The Olympics are a time for the world to unite in an unpolitical way, and here are these bleeding hearts ruining the one special thing that every nation holds dear. Now don't get me wrong, I know where China stands in the human rights circles, and if Tibet wants to be free, well then Free Tibet too.

But again, thanks to a few zealots, one of the most beautiful treasures, an age old classic that has its roots in the ancient world is defiled and made meanigless. Whats next zealots...pissing on the eternal flame at JFKs grave in an attempt to extinguish it in order to lift the embargo on Cuban cigars?

Recommended Reading....

Hey all.... So I had to write a book review of a book of choice. I chose "Fish- A Memoir of a Boy in a Man's Prison" by TJ Parsell. I have to tell you, its probably one of the best non-fiction books I've read in a long time. This is an autobiographical story of when Parsell was 17 entering into the adult prison system and what happened to him. On his first day, he was raped by multiple inmates and was forced into the protection of a "man". I won't go into detail for those who would like to read it but I highly recommend it. TJ Parsell is now a human rights activist and associated with organizations that are dedicated to the prevention of rape in detention facilities.
If you are anything like me and feel as though the criminal justice system is in need of work (putting it lightly), then you will be very moved by this book.

To add to Mit's post below....

You'll probably rarely see us agree with each other..but Mit is right. Not enough people take voting seriously and we are paying the price for it (Bush). People will complain and complain about what is going on in this country but when it comes to voting time, they don't vote. I am a firm believer that if you are legally allowed to vote, and choose not too, then you really have no place to complain. This country's citizens need to wake up and realize that things will not even start to change if we don't act.

politically charged

For those of you viewing The Mit and Sej show, and are hoping when we get off the emotionally and politically driven topics, well probably after the election, because right now, there are not enough people who take voting seriously. The more you are exposed to the issues, the more you might be provoked into doing something about. Don't ever forget to vote.

Mit

political parties

Can anyone explain to me, how in a land of free expression, and for people who want change, to we keep regurgitating the same politicians into important roles? I think it is time that we bring into the light and make important some of the minor political parties, so that we don't always have to be, just Republican or Democrat.

Mit

Must be a democratic thing.....

Clinton claims sniper fire when she visited Bosnia, Sej says correspondence when its correlation.

And we want a democrat to sit in the oval office? I know Bush has a short attention span and is from Texas, but geez.

In response to Mit's little meltdown post.....

Yeah so about your meltdown commentary.... I agreed with you through most of the post because I do believe that Clinton should step out of the race to make room for Obama but you just had to do it Mit. Ya had to throw in the jabs about democratic intelligence...and on top of that, the whole democrat/redneck comparison, knowing full well that there is no CORRELATION between the two lol.
Glass houses Mit......lets not talk about some of the republican candidates.
