Democracy at it's Finest Worst



So I don't know if this school teacher was trying to teach her students a little on Democracy, the ability for us to vote for changes we want, or if she just was a complete ass hole. I say the later. Anyways heres the story of Alex Barton, a 5 year old that was voted out of his classroom by his peers:

‘[The teacher] took him and stood him in front of his classmates this week, asked every single child to tell Alex why [they] don’t like him… (in his words) “tell Alex why we hate him”,’ explained Ms. Barton. After having each child ridicule the boy, she says the teacher continue belittling him.

Ms. Barton went on to say, ‘Then they had a vote on if he deserved to stay in the class or not.’ Like a twisted reality show, Barton says in a 14-2 vote his classmates voted the five year old out of the classroom.”

I don't even think the kids in Lord of the Flies were this young to deserve some ish like this. Regardless I vote that the teacher is fired and forced to be in a video with the Pied Piper and M.J. .

Like an American good Democracy only my vote counts regardless of what you may think; hey in my opinion those who don't agree with me are just Florida anyways.

Getting Stacks from Daddy Bush

The thing I like and respect about Obama is that all his campaign money is from grassroots organizations and citizens like ourselves. He prides himself on working for the people and the issues they find most important. It is known that many Presidential candidates in the past and presently receive campaign money from organizations that want something from the candidate. Their money is a bribe or debt from/to those that loaned it. McCain has received money from Bush recently because of his lack of stacks he's been accumulating through out his campaign. More below:

CNN) -- President Bush traveled to Arizona on Tuesday for a fundraiser for Sen. John McCain, the first time in more than two months the unpopular president appeared with the man he hopes will succeed him.

The fundraiser in chief raised an estimated $3 million for the Republican National Committee during his stop in Phoenix, The Associated Press reported.

McCain consistently has trailed the two remaining Democratic presidential candidates in fundraising. The $17 million he raised in April was dwarfed by the nearly $31 million raised by Obama and the $21 million raised by Sen.Clinton.

McCain also trails both Democrats in the amount of cash on hand. He had nearly $22 million in the bank at the end of April, while Obama had more than double that amount -- nearly $47 million -- and Clinton had nearly $30 million

McCain is going to have the same agenda as Bush if elected. Hopefully Americans are smart enough to realize that and continue saying YES WE CAN!

South L.A. Gang Intervention Agency


When people think of L.A. automatically two things come to mind Hollywood and Gangs. A year ago I was in Hollywood and actually had a gang member approach my friends and I because they thought we were trying to cause trouble (though we were only going to the club). Regardless I was able to experience Hollywood-Gangs.

An article I was reading on BlackWeekly had me think back to this incident that I had.


LOS ANGELES-Unity T.W.O. Inc., part of The Unity Collaborative, formed to combine efforts in reducing gang violence in Los Angeles, is quietly brokering "understandings" among feuding Swan Bloods and East Coast Crips, among others, the organizations' executive director Kevin Mustafa Fletcher said during a gathering this week.

Fletcher, a former gang member himself, is now leading Unity T.W.O. in its effort to help bring peace between the two factions. Fletcher and his staff have worked diligently behind the scenes to make the "understanding" happen between the two gangs. "It was
worth it, he said. "For what's taking place in our community, what we're trying to do .is out of respect. This is business."

To validate the "truce of understanding," both sets came together to solidify their pact last week at agathering by the Unity Collaborative. Representatives from both gangs stood side-by-side to announce they had reached a mutual understanding to stop the
bloodshed...

Los Angeles' taxpayers $1 million for every homicide that takes place in the city. Last year, there were 498 murders recorded in Los Angeles. In 2002, there were 640 murders. Gangs had a hand in a lot of those de
aths. The two-year total of casualties in the city would come out to 1, 138, and those numbers would equate to $1.138 billion in costs to taxpayers.

The Collaborative has also placed a high priority on the more recent trend of escalating conflict and violence between Latino and black gangs, by assigning black and Latino gang-intervention teams to work together in the schools, on the streets and with individuals recently released from incarceration.

The idea of a gang intervention program sounds good between Blood and Crips, in 92'. I don't even think anyone still bangs like that now adays anyways. Now if we're talking about MS13, that's a different story.

Hopefully this does help out in South L.A. because that place is depressing. Better schools that are actually accredited would be greater help.



Obama and L.A.



Obama supporters in Los Angeles discuss what voter registration means for this campaign and the nation's future, during the Vote for Change national kick-off on 5/10/08.

We need a man like Obama in office. With plans for National unity, sensible drug laws, global diplomacy and empathy, extensive healthcare, emphasis on education, deemphasis on special interest/lobbying, bipartisanship, further separation of church and state, and, if the nation is not so resistant and afraid, improved race relations, Obama is the sensible choice. Oh and i forgot to mention; a Black man in The White House.
