Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Suspenion Lifted

Mr. Phil Robertson, where do I begin?

Initially, after reading your statement in its entirety and then realizing your place of residency, it was clear to me why you may lack the fundamental understanding of equality and civil rights; especially when you lived during the Jim Crow period, and felt that African Americans were "happy" because they sang and smiled. Where were you when mass lynchings took place, Mr. Robertson? Did you not read the newspaper?

Then again, if you were aware of the period and time due to mass protests of American citizens, fighting for civil rights and voting rights -- you know, those simple laws you already had access to; if you were in their shoes would it have been a "happy" time for you? And labeling yourself "white trash" doesn't mean your treatment was equivalent to the treatment of black people, just in case you were confused by the misguided rhetoric that you speak.

And now today, yet another revelation from the "Phil Robertson's files" shows you teaching young men to hand pick their wives by age -- and underage at that! Oh yea, as long as "you first have the parents permission." 

The fact that young men are encouraged to marry 15 and 16 year old female children, all for the purposes of molding their young minds to fit a man's particular lifestyle screams misogyny! It's literally dictating to a child what they will be, without allowing them to figure it out for themselves. Is that fair? 

Is this the same conservative message Republicans believe in Washington? Well you know, because Robertson is conservative and he believes in -- would you call it "legitimate rape" regarding female underage marriage? Oh yea, parents permission comes first, right?

Is this why women's rights are shot down unanimously by the GOP?

Which gives way to the very real "war on women" stance of the 21st century; rejecting of VAWA and trying to silence women for voicing their opinions. Just saying, Republicans seem to have a real big issue with women's rights.

And recently the A&E Network decided to lift Phil Robertson's suspension, obviously because the high ratings are just to profitable to do what's morally right. However, America has changed and is continuously changing, and it's changing towards the direction of progressiveness, tolerance, equality and love; and those that keep wishing for the status quo, you'll either become non-existent or join what you can't beat.

Get it while you can A&E; welcome back Mr. Robertson.

Theresa Caputo Channeling Historical Figures?

Have you ever heard of the psychic medium Theresa Caputo?

She has her own show called the "Long Island Medium" and it airs on TLC. This show will make you a believer if you're a skeptic, and if it doesn't I suggest meeting her to confirm your suspicions. I highly admire the work that she does, and at a time in our society when hate and violence seems to consume our television sets and physical lives -- Theresa is a breath of fresh air with a constant reminder that God does exist and gives reassurance that our loved ones will always be with us. 

Wouldn't it be cool if Theresa could channel great historical leaders?

You know like JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and even Nelson Mandela! It would be amazing if she did an episode meeting the families of great leaders that have past over, as a way of retrieving continuous guidance for our present and future leaders but also for "us" the people.

Mother Earth

NOTHING moves Mother Earth, she's to grounded. 

She lays peacefully beneath your feet, your house, and your place of employment. Everyday and everywhere you go she's right there for you, serving the purpose of stabilizing your life. Without her we'd destabilize; might as well live in space!

Mother Earth bears good fruit to all that uses her, but ONLY if you use her well. 

To much picking and prodding could cause sink holes, and to much installing of synthetic foreign matters could push her to regurgitate the poison from within. 

Let's get this straight, Mother Earth will be good to you as long you're good to her. Sow your progressive and positive seeds the first six months of the year and during the last six months, what will your harvest look like?

Windy Moments

Ever have a moment with the wind?

The wind speaks in many ways; it's invisible yet you know it's there, making itself known by using its invisible magic. 

It could be a gentle rustle that pushes dried-out fallen leaves down the street. It could softly whisper in your ear, flirting with the back of your neck. It could bluster swiftly pushing your entire body forward while releasing loud moans, as it whips you with invisible strokes. 

At times the wind could become so powerful that it forces you to take it personal, as it bully's you back and forth while you walk down the street. Or sliding your car into another lane without asking permission first, "excuse me wind, can I get my space back!?"

Personally, I appreciate the wind in all its forms; before a clothes dryer there was wind, before a hair dryer there was wind, before fans and air conditioners there was wind, and before helium and our breath there was wind again -- thus wind forever shall be!
