The New World Order

Here are my thoughts on the Amero...

I believe our government is absolutely planning to create a global government, a global economy, a global currency, a global military, and a global police state. 9/11 was carried out by our own government and not middle eastern terrorists. There is no real "war on terror". We're in Iraq just to get the oil. All of these things are just steps in their plan to unify and control the world, and they're using the mass media to do it. They use the mass media to control the public's emotions, and to manipulate the public's will in their favor. Our government is planning to implement a mandatory global identification card. As if that's not bad enough they eventually plan to implant microchips inside people's bodies in order to track citizens in this global totalitarian society. Here is a quote from the bible that foretells this evil plot. "No one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast, or the number of the beast".

The Euro, the Amero, 9/11 and the patriot act are all just stepping stones in bringing about the new world order. The patriot act is only one of many new laws being put into place by our government which are designed to take away our rights and transform our society into a global totalitarian state. The sad part is that they fooled the public into believing that they are fighting the war on terror, and that these things must be done for the sake of our national security. That's complete bullshit!! Some people say the free masons are behind our government, some people say it's the bilderberg group, others say it's the illuminati. Whoever it is, what they're doing speaks much louder than who they are. The public needs to realize what they're doing, and take immediate action!!

Millennial Tension (Generation Next)

I just watched the 60 minutes video about Millenials. I consider myself a Millennial because I fit many of the criteria. I was born in 1980. I only take "yes" for an answer, and I'm tech savvy, despite the fact that I'm still unable to get links to work in my blogs.

It seems like my generation has the most negative attributes associated with it, compared to any other generation. They call us immature, narcissistic, dependant on our parents, bossy, rude. Although, I guess every new generation is looked upon that way to some extent by the previous generations. Either way, I'm proud of these stereotypes and characteristics. Why? Because we have the power, and that's what matters. They need us more than we need them, and if not, screw them anyway. We will find other ways of making money using the Internet, our computers, our cell phones, our PDAs, and yes, even our iPods.

There is always tension between generations, but in the end we all learn to adapt and live with each other. Right now they have to adapt to us, but remember that life comes full circle. One day, we're going to have to adapt to the next generation as well, and we'll probably say similar things about them.

So My Daughter Married A Witch Doctor

This week we watched Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. The film's theme remains controversial to this day. I can imagine how controversial it must have been in 1967. In the process of researching Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, I found out that interracial marriage had been against the law in many states in our nation up until fairly modern times. I was surprised to learn that. I hadn't realized just how prejudiced and closed minded our legislation could be in a time so recent to our own. I have to admit that I'm not as open minded as I like to think I am, but unlike gay marriage, I believe interracial marriage should not be outlawed. People are people and no one race is any better than another. Though everyone likes to think that their race is the best, at the end of the day when everything is said and done, we're all people and we're all in the same boat.

The premise of the film is to show that there's really nothing wrong with interracial marriage so long as the involved parties are willing to deal with the consequences. In order to show this, they made Dr. Prentice's character almost unrealistically perfect and appealing in every way except for the fact that he's black. Which is fine, but there's one thing I don't understand. Why the rush? If they intended to make Dr. Prentice the ideal fiance, then why have them getting married within days of meeting each other? That aspect really takes away from the integrity of his character and diminishes the value of his quality as a fiance. In fact, it makes him rather questionable and suspicious if you take into account the added racial tension. I think if they would have left out the time limitations, it would have been far more effective in portraying Dr. Prentice's character in the intended way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who's_Coming_to_Dinner

Shiver Me Timbres!!

Should people be allowed to pirate music? As a musician and a music consumer, I'm faced with a difficult dilemma. As a musician, part of me says no because I want fans to purchase my recordings. Another part of me says yes because allowing your music to be pirated is an extremely effective way of distributing your music to a global audience and getting your name out there. As a consumer, I say absolutely music should be pirated because it saves me hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year, which I would have otherwise spent at the music store. Another positive aspect of peer to peer networks is that they provide a market for musicians which just doesn't exist in a traditional music store. http://limewire.com/

Most of the bands and artists out there can't be found in most music stores, and they even can't be found in so called "independent" or "underground" music stores. I'm not talking about your neighbor's son's high school punk band. I'm referring to professional, world famous artists. The reason is because achieving distribution in the physical world is extremely expensive and time consuming. A lot of musicians simply can't afford it. But in cyber space, all it takes is a few mouse clicks and your recordings are instantly available to the entire world. It's free distribution on a truly global scale.

It really depends on who you are. There are many artists out there that want their music to be pirated and use it as a means of promotion and distribution. Obviously if you're Metallica, you're going to be against pirating music because you're already world famous and it would take away from your album sales. But if you're an unknown struggling musician or even a somewhat famous musician, allowing your music to be pirated can be quite a beneficial tool that will actually build your career rather than destroy it.
