The very random things flowing through my brain...
We need to do more to empower the youth in this country, and specifically in urban and violent areas. Too many people are dying. Too many people are resorting to violence. There were 36 shootings, including 9 murders, this past weekend in Chicago. Most involved youth.
We need a youth movement. We need youth to organize and put an end to this. This cannot and will not be a movement led by, organized by, or driven by adults. This needs to be a grassroots, youth led movement to stop the violence.
- From Mother Jones:
One American child generates as much CO2 as 106 Haitian kids.
And:Between 2000 and 2050, the US will add 114 kids to its population. Africa will add 1.2 billion- but their respective CO2 emissions will be the same.
I am tired of ignorant people making ignorant comments about Barack Obama.
The global warming commercials are odd. I am talking about the commercial with Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton. Or the Pelosi and Gingrich commercial.
Should churches have paid staff? I am not sure.
I wish I spoke Kurundi.
- Reading labor history inspires me. And causes me to be cynical. And makes me want to see so much more.
What is flowing through your brain?
