A Federal Marijuana User Testifies

So I thought I would stick with the marijuana theme I started in my last blog. I stumbled upon this video in which a federal marijuana user testifies for the legalization of marijuana. Yes you read that right he's a federal marijuana user. He gets his weed from the government. In fact part of mine and your US taxes pays for the growing of his marijuana. He's one of only a handful of people that still get he's medical marijuana straight from the government. Anyway just watch the video it's pretty interesting and from the looks of it the guy can use some Ritalin also. He's a bit hyper.

Mitt Romney on Medical Marijuana

It's political season here in the good ole US of A and with the primaries up and running there's bound to be a bunch of good stuff that I can not only waste my time with but waste your time with too. The following clip is of Massachusetts Republican Mitt Romney being asked a question regarding Medical Marijuana from a guy in a wheelchair suffering from MS. He asks Mitt if he would have him and his doctors arrested for using medical marijuana. Essentially Mitt sidesteps the question with some vague political speak and turns his back on the guy to greet other people with his fake plastic smile. What a douche bag. You know I would almost have more respect(if that's possible) for Mitt and other politicians if they were just more up front with their views. If they said what they really felt instead of using political speak and general round about answers to questions. Yet in this day and time in our country you can't do that and still get elected.

Faces of the Dead Remembered

This post is a bit on the depressing side but when I came across this person's Flickr profile(Verbatim2006) and saw what he was doing, I knew then and there that I needed to blog about it. Since March of 2007 he has been posting a photo of every American soldier who has died in Iraq. Yes we hear about the death toll on the news every night, but they report it like it's a statistic, the majority of the time they don't even list the names or a photo of who has died. Seeing these photos of the faces of the soldiers who have died over in Iraq is a very sobering thing, maybe these photos should be emailed to all our politicians. With that said, I really urge you to go check out Verbatim2006's Flickr page.

New Photography Rules for NYC?

If your involved in photography you might want to check this out:

The NYC Mayor's Office of Film , Theater and Broadcasting are considering some new rules in regards to photography and filming in the city. As it is and has been for some time you do already need a permit for any photography and film shoots, in which a tripod/camera stands, lighting and rigging equipment will be used. What the Mayor's Office of Film , Theater and Broadcasting are trying to do is to formalize the existing policies in order to cope with large increase and often chaotic aspect of filming/photographic work taking place in NYC. The problem that alot of people are having in regards to these new rules however is with the vagueness of the way the rules are written.

The new rules that are being consider however are stating that any group of two or more people who want to use a camera in a single public location for more than a half hour need to get a city permit and insurance. The same requirements would apply to any group of five or more people who plan to use a tripod in a public location for more than 10 minutes, which includes the time it takes to set up the equipment. These new rules could in effect with the way they are currently worded, depending on whether a police officer or not wanted to enforce it, pertain to tourists, amateur photographers or some people just filming the next YouTube hit. So when a family of 4, visiting NYC for the first time stop in Times Square or Rockefeller Center to snap a few pictures could be in violation of the new rules.

You can read more about it here in a NY Times article and also on the NYCLU's web site.

There is also a petition you can sign if your against these new rules.

Give me Liberty or Give me Safety.

Ok before some history buff puts his 2 cents in, let me say that this quote is often attributed to Mr. Franklin although it hasn't been confirmed that he is in fact the one who came up with it. With that said and regardless of who said it why don't you waste some time this weekend and mull this quote over in your head. Just how much of your personal freedoms are you willing to give up in order to give yourself and the country a sense of safety?

Henry Rollins Interviews Serj Tankian and Tom Morello Pt.1

Here's a great interview of Serj Tankian(System of the Down) and Tom Morello(Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave) done by Henry Rollins(Black Flag/Rollins Band). Well actually the parts were Serj and Tom talk are great, but Henry Rollins is a horrible interviewer. He should really stick to what ever else he does, be it spoken word poetry or lifting weights. The only good thing about him is he has the pull to be able to get some really cool people to interview. Anyway, Serj and Tom talk about their Axis of Justice project and also about political activism in general.

Skateboarding is not a Crime?

Ok so a week ago was Go Skateboarding Day(June 21), apparently no one told me about it because I would of dusted off my Mike Vallely everslick and popped some ollies, that is if my old man knees could of handled it.

So on Go Skateboarding Day, it seems that a group of skateboarders in Arkansas got a little more than they bargained for. They got hassled by a cop and a few of them got roughed up and arrested. Now when I say rough up I mean they got choked, thrown to the ground, and threatened with being maced. These boys and girls were only 13-16 and from my view didn't deserve the amount of force that was used, regardless of whether they gave the lone cop a hard time or not(which I'm sure they did give the cop a hard time). But really getting a 14 year old girl in a choke hold come on.

Now I'm the first to admit that a pack of skateboarders can be loud, obnoxious and have a f*ck you attitude when they are skateboarding. Growing up my friends and I have been hassled by cops/security guards while skateboarding, but we never gave them any lip. We just politely moved on, found another skate spot and would come back again when the cops/security guards where gone. See the thing is that yeah alot of cops out there are jerks and like to abuse their power but for the most part if your cool towards them they'll be cool back, sometimes it is really that simple.

So below is a video of the incident that took place in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Also below is the contact information for the Hot Springs Arkansas Police Department, just incase you want to let them know how you feel about this incident.

No Music, No Art, No Sports!

So this morning, a friend of mine over at Mercy Rule's blog sent me an email about how his towns government, Stoneham, Massachusetts has eliminated sports, music and art programs from their towns budget. It's really unfortunate that it is these programs, that can really make a difference in a kids life are always the first to go. It is these programs that alot of kids love and look forward too, while at the same time keeping them out of trouble. If it wasn't for the art classes or the sports programs that I participated in, while in school I wouldn't be were I am now or have the life long friends that I have. You can find out more information about this at savethespartans.com.
