human rights watch
the states' independence is the last thing on my mind today. i've been doing research all morning for the group class i'm teaching this summer over cultural awareness. i've spent a few hours reading testimonies and reports off the human rights watch site. i've cried several times, especially over the childrens rights stories. i love living in another country and regularly being exposed to poverty, but the death and abuse stats from russia, africa, and the middle east are startling in comparison to what i hear and see here in the DR. it's a good wake up call to how ignorant and privileged we are as americans. celebrate your freedom by checking out the bondage of others.

Yeah, if you click the lazy bubble girl you can spin her around and around instead of just letting her fall on the bubbles forever. The fun lasts for approximately one minute. Then you must do some soul searching to find a more meaningful task for your day, your life, your existence. Right?
As far as your previous post about the lack of dreams and hot air-ballon trips or whatever, I've been reading this book you might enjoy about two young guys in their twenties who were traveling around the world, trying to give away $32,000 in a week. It's very very very good. Exact, funny, inspiring and tragic.
It's called "And You Shall Know Our Velocity!" by Dave Eggers.
