Casey Anthony Case

I know a lot of you are pissed about the trial, many are comparing it to the OJ case already, to spoil it she was found not guilty in child abuse, or murder of the child, but she was guilty of giving false information to an officer. This sounds bad but I was pulling for her to be not guilty I think she was given an unfair rap through the media during the search and after she was arrested and said she murdered the trial.

I know a lot of you are upset but I honestly think she wasn't guilty because she was pinned guilty from the start and was never given a chance to tell her side, and when she did it was shot down right away. I thought this because there was no proof that she did it, and if 12 people on a jury did not see the evidence there, keep in mind the jury got a lot more evidence than was released in the media. I think the media takes these things out of proportion, the media is really one sided it only focuses on the bad side of the news.

The prosecution is at fault for all of you that are pissed, if the case was rock solid against her then how was she proven not guilty? Think about that if she really did do it, not saying she did or didn't, the prosecution would have had a solid case and she would have been found guilty right away

I wasn't on the case I wasn't in the court room so I have no idea what evidence was shown but this case is a solid example of how the US court system works, 12 people who have no connection to the trial, I have no idea if they saw the news when it came out, but they found her not guilty of murder or manslaughter.

I guess what I am ranting about and attempting to open your eyes to is, the legal system did its part, the case wasn't too solid, media outlets are one sided, take it for what it is worth maybe she did murder, maybe she didn't but that cant be changed now live with it. You can't call her a murder because she wasn't found of it, justice has been served and have you ever thought that maybe someone else could have done it?

As Americans we have a choice and we can openly protest/complain about the trial result, so feel free to complain and be pissed but look at the big picture don't take what the media says to heart for everything, the media goes for ratings not for the facts.

Music Defines Society

Very reciently I have posted on my face book wall the quote "Music Defines Society" I really thought nothing of this actually I saw it on the tag of a shirt I had bought around Christmas although I got a few comments on it they made me think. A good friend of mine, we trained in the army for a little, he is big into music he also plays in a local band where he lives he said the exact oppisite of me, that society defines music, I can see where he is coming from but I disagree with him, no disrespect to those who agree. To me music is a huge part of my life and the music people listen to will affect they way they act, actually its been proven in studies. Reciently I think music has taken a turn for the worse, well at least main stream music. Myself I listen to a whole lot of music, and I mean A LOT of music my artists range from The Rat Pack to Green Day from Tegan and Sara to Thin Izzy. So its hard for me to understand how people can listen to one kind of music and dont give other music a try. But back to modern music taking a turn for the worse, Most artists that are big today cant really preform live they bank on sound filters and effects to make their music sound good, plus a lot of r&b artists are just redoing songs from our past artists, Most of the time they make the song a lot worse. I have been wishing that underground artists come to light and reshape the modern music world, I give props to the Black Keys they arrived on the show in the last year and they showed that true rock is still out there and it gave me hope, although I really didn't consider them underground. Well I know this post was really random but hey its my blog so deal with it

Protests In Wisconsin

If you have read my last post about Chaos in Egypt you will see that I believe in protests and revoloutions; in my current state of Wisconsin public workers are protesting the current Govenor Scott Walker because he is trying to take away bargainning rights for unions and increase the amount public workers have to pay into insurance and pensions even if they don't take insurance out through their employers. I myself am independent so I see both sides of the arguments in this case I think the Govoner is wrong.

"Why would he do such a thing?" Many have asked. Public workers include but don't exclude: teachers, college professors, EMTs, fire fighters, police, and sanitary workers. A lot of these workers have protested Walker, many have spent time in Madison and spending the night in the Captital building. Walker is still not going to budge Wisconsin is a Republican controled state and he has the votes needed to pass the bill, but in retalation Democrats have fled the state so the vote can not be heald.

If the vote is heald I assess that many state workers will quit their jobs to find a better job in the private sector or move out of the state to find better jobs, this bill will destroy the economey of Wisconsin. I know many think that the workers should continue to work because they picked the job and should love what they what they do, but in a Captalist society many workers are inspired to work for the money and the benifits. (I could go on to my beliefes of economic systems but that is for another post). It is not right for the government to decide if they can abolish unions and take away bargainning rights, workers need these so they can have better working environments and limits can be set for the employers.

I am proud of the citizens of Wisconsin that they have not gotten violent for a state that is known for drinking the situation in Madison has been sober and calm. Peaseful protests are some of the most effective because it shows the people in power that they want change (different than what Mr. President wants) and they will do it peacefuly no matter how long it takes.

So once again I say workers of the world unite!! Limits need to be set on what our leaders can do

Chaos In Egypt

As most of you know, unless you have been under a rock, there is chaos in Egypt. The citizens of the country want to force out their current leader, President Mubarak. This attempt to overthrow the current government has ignited other countries to do the same.

I think the establishment of a new government in a developed country such as Egypt is good, it shows that on the surface everything looks good but when a majority of the population is mistreated they have the power to control the country. In most countries the upper class gets the credit for all the work and are treated better, but in truth the working and lower classes make the country run. This revolution in Egypt can spark revolutions all over the world in countries that neglect the working class.

This poses a threat to the United States, not only is a majority of the population in poverty but the US uses underprivileged people in developed countries for cheap labor. If other countries experience the same revolutions it will shatter the world economy and cripple the society runs. I think the revolutions will do good for the planet as a whole

Don't get me wrong, revolutions in the past have been violent and have destroyed countries, but revolutions can be peaceful. President Kennedy said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." Even as a president of the most powerful nation in the country acknowldged the existence of peaceful revolutions. These are actually more practical than one will think as long as the government does not overreact.

With that I say "Workers of the world unite, speak your mind don't be taken for granted make revolution but do it in peace"
