Occupy education | Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters
Great article posted on Adbusters about education inequality in Chile. Prices are soaring in colleges across the United States and our schools becoming more and more difficult to get a decent education. Our future hasn't looked more bleak.

Oh Whitey..... it's time for you to go
Maybe the media should be concentrating on things like global warming, nuclear tensions in Iran, and economic issues. Instead Nancy Grace thinks we should find out who gave Whitney the prescription drugs and pushed her underwater. Maybe Nancy Grace should go out next and find out who forced the Prince of Pop to molest children? No! Instead let us react surprisingly to how an individual who was dependent on drugs died. I mean she was only mixing prescription drugs and alcohol. Oh America! Your interests amuse me.

Blog 2 : Where my ladies at?
Abortion. That word has been infamous in media outlets and political debates. Our country has been so backward on the issue that we can't even figure out whether a woman has the right to do what she wants with her own body. Why is that? Religion? Morality? Whatever it may be. A woman deserves the chance to make her own decision in private. Seriously. It's a hard decision. For anybody. Whether you come from a background that doesn't have a steady economic standing or you happen to be too young to bring another life into the earth, you deserve the chance to make that decision. Europe's got under wraps. If I'm not mistaken I think only one country in Europe has abortion outlawed. I wonder why? Under population? Because I sure as hell know it's not Over population. Our world recently hit the 7 billion count at the end of last year. I don't think wee need to be "Prospering, Reproducing, and Filling the Earth" like a once infamous book, in my opinion which has been taken waaaaay too seriously, once said. Anyways. This is way off topic from the point I'm really trying to get to. A couple weeks ago Texas finally passed the law to force women to sonogram before the have an abortion. As if the decision wasn't hard enough to make. Oh wait I'm a guy. I wouldn't know. But what do you think? The law reads:
"The law also requires that you receive a sonogram from the doctor (or agent) who will be performing your abortion at least 24 hours before the abortion is to occur. During your sonogram, the doctor is required to display the sonogram images and make the heart beat audible. You may decline to view the images and listen to the heartbeat. The doctor must also provide a verbal explanation of the sonogram results. That cannot be declined"
Is this not a slap in the face to women? And do they seriously think this is going to make a difference in the decision making? This has been one of the toughest anti-abortion sonogram laws in the nation. And guess what? We're leading it! Oh great. First it's Creationism. Then it's suppressing women. What's next?

Blog 1 : Rick Perry... Really?
After a good run. Rick Perry has pulled out of the election. Was it a surprise? From his mumbling on stage during the GOP debate to his infamous "OOPS" moment. Rick Perry's time was coming to an end. As a Texan, I was against Rick Perry's run for president. I was worried that another individual would make Texan's look dumb again. Guess what? He did. He was made the joker of Texas throughout all the media outlets and major late night comedy bits. His policies about eliminating forms of government were a joke. Education? really? To this day he still hasn't revealed that third government body he wanted to eliminate. Let's not forget there's five bodies of government. Thanks Ron Paul. One of the biggest issues I had with Rick Perry was his famous creation vs. evolution speech to a child in New Hampshire. This issue has always bothered me. And Rick Perry stating that creationism is being taught in Texas public school bother me as well. This is yet just another example of Rick Perry making Texans look dumb. Before Rick Perry makes statements like that, he should fact check himself. Texas curriculum does not require creationism to be taught in school. yet there has been attempts to change that. This can be reserved for another discussion. Trust me. The blog will get longer and maybe boring. I don't know if it was Ricky Perry's charm or simply his "rogue" looks that attracted the GOP to have this Bozo run for president. But if this guy was bad for Texas. He's bad for the United States. We need to stop electing officials who make us look like dumb cowboys. Seriously. Enough with accents, boots, and yeeee hawwwsss...... Our economy doesn't need a bud or a chum; or simply some one who believes in super natural powers other than scientific discoveries. We need someone who actually knows how to operate a calculater and a microphone. Let's not elect another Bush.
