Lawrence King, 15 year old junior high school boy. Shot at the back of his head twice by fellow schoolmate, 14 year old Brandon. Because he was openly gay. Phelps family, Westboro Baptist Church. Spreads God's word of hate of all homosexuals. Gun and hatchet attacks at gaybar in Massachusetts. -cnn.com
The church and gaybar thing - it's sad, but expected. Inured. But....the 15 year old?
Lawrence... I wish, somehow, I wish and I wish... I could have helped you in some way. Even though you're so far away. Even though I dont know you at all. I wish I could have been there. I wish I could have been there to take the shot for you. I wish I could have been there for you. I wish, somehow, you werent in school that day. I wish and I wish things could be different for you. I wish you didnt have to be subjected to such hate crimes at such a young age. I wish I could take it all for you. You're only 15. You're so young. You're so brave. Coming out at 15... It takes immense courage. So many of us are still stuck in that bloody closet. We just cant come out. But you did. Did anyone tell you how brave you are? I wish someone told you how brave you are.
No matter how much this makes me lose hope, lose sight of what Im fighting for, I cant. I cannot stop fighting. We shouldnt hate each other like this. We shouldnt. It's not right. Hate is not right.
But please, I cant do this alone.

Bleeding Earth
Biofuel development leads to the destruction of natural ecosystems - rainforests, grasslands - not only releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gases when they are burned and plowed, but also deprives the planet of natural sponges to absorb carbon emissions.
The chain reaction here is simple: Biofuel was thought to be environmentall friendly, famous people endorse it, driving up demand for biofuel, thus crops. Because demand is high for such crops, prices increase. And it gets worse, because crops are now in demand for biofuel AND food. People are attracted by the high prices and grow crops. How do they grow crops?
DEFORESTATION. Massive, massive deforestation.
The clearance of grassland releases 93 times the amount of greenhouse gas that would be saved by the fuel made annually on that land.
He sees fires wiping out gigantic swaths of jungle, men converting the mighty rainforests into cattle pastures and soybean fields with bull dozers and chains. "It gives me goosebumps. It's like witnessing a rape."
People must be aware that promoting biofuel DOES NOT save the Earth.
Please stop raping Earth anymore.

Beautiful World
I think that Ive listened to this song at least a HUNDRED times since Tuesday.
But it's really THAT awesome! It's the kinda song that makes you feel like you're in a movie...
And makes me feel like even if my world disappears, it's still beautiful with you here beside me.

Queen
Hmm...carmen is still my favourite =)) even though she can be a bitch (oh c'mon all femmes are bitchy) she's still sooooooo hot.
I really miss sharmen ! I dont like season 4,5 Shane anymore!! Wth, Shane's with some straight girl who's probably just 'experimenting'. Sheesh, Shane you can do better!! Then again, her hair is really hideous now. Maybe that explains her poor performance.
I have a good mind to drive the car, run ASSHOLE over at a speed of 100miles per hour and not just that, im gonna run ASSHOLE over back and forth back and forth until brains, intestines, everything splatters everywhere. Better yet, I'll jab ASSHOLE's eyes, I'll chop off the fingers, I'll burn the hair, I'll punch and slap and kick and spit, oh my gundams I'll do so much more!
PLEASE GO AWAY ASSHOLE.
Why, oh WHY was I so naive and silly and childish and idealistic and ignorant at that time??? =((

Normal
Oh my god, it's so surreal. I thought we never would have to face it yet. but....they found out.
Normal, normal, normal, normal. Am I normal? Normal... what's normal? Are we normal? "Be normal," what does that mean? Shit, I hate the word normal. It's so ambiguous. I hate the word normal. It's so stereotypical.
I hate the word normal. It's so homophobic.
