Homosexuality Bill Kills in Uganda

A massive attempt of persuasion by large evangelical Christian groups in Uganda are moving the country to the current majority opinion that homosexuality is a crime and should be punishable by death, as reported by ABC News (World News).

For a better understanding of these extremist agendas and its tactics, I recommend two documentaries:

Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi:

Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi takes a remarkable journey across the heartland to uncover the religious, cultural and political beliefs of evangelical Christians, including Jerry Falwell, Ted Haggard and best-selling author Joel Osteen. Interviewing both leaders and rank-and-file believers and attending events such as a Christian wrestling match, Pelosi reveals a vibrant subculture whose convictions may surprise and possibly bewilder you.

Although the editorial is somewhat biased to evangelical Christian beliefs, they do not attempt to contradict their beliefs, so therefore I believe this film may be a good starting point to understanding group war tactics and their intents. [IMDB]

Jesus Camp:

The movie is filmed during a right-wing bible camp with scenes from a few Mike Papantonio talk shows pursuing the needed discussion of where this type of religious abuse to these children, and the belief of all those involved, will lead all of us as Americans to be divided by the "I am right no matter what - Jesus is the lord. period." type of mentality now and in the future.

Jesus Camp follows several young children as they prepare to attend a summer camp where the kids will get their daily dose of evangelical Christianity. Becky Fischer works at the camp, which is named Kids on Fire. Through interviews with Fischer, the children, and others, Jesus Camp illustrates the unswerving belief of the faithful. A housewife and homeschooling mother tells her son that creationism has all the answers. Footage from inside the camp shows young children weeping and wailing as they promise to stop their sinning. Child after child is driven to tears. Juxtapose these scenes with clips from a more moderate Christian radio host (who is appalled by such tactics), and Jesus Camp seems to pose a clear question: are these children being brainwashed?  Written by Ken Miller {wkmiller704@yahoo.com}  [IMDB]

Modified Netflix DVD

The Netflix customer base is very large.  In every group that can be called a social circle their is usually those whom chose to not conform with rules and morality that would usually make their reality safe and sufficient to those dedicated.

I received a modified Netflix DVD.  It had never occurred to me that this could happen, although now I realize this could not only unfold dissatisfaction to the consumer and happen frequently, but also that it could well be very common though very disturbing.

The DVD was watched on a digital HD protocol connection, a 120Hz 1080(*) LCD display from a computer source modified (deinterlacing).

This could have been clever and funny, however it was not.  The frames were randomly placed.  The DVD movie is 23.9 FPS and the random positions were 1.9/23.9 (0.12%) FPS singular and random events seperated by real time, or rather randomly through the length of the movie.

Crazy shit man.

Random Thought : I will meditate and hope for the people who view this to have an existing strong mind. I don't want to get involved.

VOICE Your Net Neutrality

I have placed an audio interview held in Madison, Wisconsin in front of Senator Kohl's office containing many reasons why we need to fight for net neutrality from small business owners and home web surfers.

We must act fast to send our comments about net neutrality making solid assurance that our Internet freedom to have a fair and just Internet network will be here for our future!

The deadline is tonight, midnight, to send your comments to the FCC and have your strong voice for personal freedom be noticed.
