It’s hard to REALLY feel the pain and sufferring that innocent people have endured in torture camps, wether it be [[Auschwitz]], Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay. Opression is opression, and no person deserves to be brutalized mentally or physically… especially when they havent been given any due process. When you watch the film “The Road to Guantanamo” you can’t help but wonder how these kids had so many close calls where they could have been killed before they even made it to Camp X-ray. My sister did her thesis on the legitimacy of the captured individuals being given the status of “enemy combatants” and if that really is enough to evade international standards of the treatment which is to be given to prisoners. After re-reading her paper for her a few times I got to thinking how in the world can we just sit here and discuss these riddiculous claims which implies that we are above all laws, because we are strong enough to break all of them and no one can take us into account. Our rationale as a country is based on arrogance, stubborness, and a dash of racism and religious intolerance.

I found some old toys which my mom didn’t throw away for some reason.
She said she was going to give them to my kids.. ha.. I took a bunch of

At ECW One Night Stand 2006 [[RVD]] Finally achieved what he has deserved for a very long time. He has become the WWE Champion. Although now it looks like they are making him hold two titles. One is going to be the official ECW title and he is going to hold the WWE Title. Now that he is on the ECW Brand (moved from RAW) I guess that means they will make him drop the WWE title and make it go back to RAW, so they can have contention for titles on each show. The way in which he won was pretty wack, but from a story line viewpoint it was brilliant. Edge interfered by spearing Cena through a table. Since Cena was getting alot of heat, they made him come out more aggressive. If he got beat up (like he should have) it would have really hurt his fan base and that wouldn’t help the company since his merchandise really sells. The ECW fans were vicious, they chanted “You can’t wrestle!, You can’t wrestle!”. After he did a impressive power move they chanted: “You still suck!, You still suck!”. When he did his patented moves they chanted: “Same old Sh–, Same old Sh–”. I was dissaponted that RVD didn’t unveil any new moves. I wish the finish was something spectacular. I also wish he showed off some of his great in ring wrestling skills, but then again Cenas style would not compliment that. The new ECW show on scifi is kinda weak. It’s too short only an hour long and I feel that they don’t have enough wrestlers on the roster. Btw at One night stand the hottest sign was hanging from the balcony which read “If Cena Wins we Riot”. I truly believe that would’ve happened.

A film which begins with Dwight Eisenhower’s famous quote warning the American people about the dangers of what he called the “Military Industrial Complex” you know it would be pretty damn relevant. Although the film starts off with his quote, the focus of the film was not 1961. The film shows how his fears came to fruiition and has reached its heights today. For many people who watch political films and documentaries or listen to lefty radio, it will not come as a surprise to them. Although the details which are presented will make you think. For example they make the point that three quarters of a trillion dollars is enough motivation to constantly stay engaged in one military conflict or another. The bottom line is the bottom line.
