Question Everything……. and see District 9

August 27th, 2009

Hello once again,

This post is entirely politically-based, though leaning toward neither the right, or left and incorporates what might be described as a “Question Everything” kind of mentality, just as a heads up!

If you find yourself occasionally questioning the behavior and motives of politicians (don’t feel bad, we all do it. It’s practically an American prerequisite), and you’re in the mood for a good laugh, read this post from one of my favorite blogs: “Free Whitewater. If you replace “Whitewater” with your town/city/state i’m sure that you will find the post to be equally as applicable, and entertaining.

Whitewater is a small town in Wisconsin (just West of Milwaukee, and approximately two hours south of my hometown) and the blog is based entirely around one individual’s desire to formulate a peaceful movement protesting against the increasingly negative impact the local government is afflicting upon the citizens.

Small blurb from the blog: “You have lived in Whitewater, Wisconsin for years, perhaps your entire life. Despite your affection for this beautiful city, life in our small municipality leaves you uneasy. You find yourself increasingly convinced that something is distorted in the politics and culture of our city. Rest assured: You are not alone…”

The blog has seen it’s share of hardship (from what I have heard, and particularly from those who are largely opposed to the freedom of speech) since it’s inception in what I believe to be 2007, and is published anonymously under the pseudonym John Adams. It’s a really excellent read and I have a great respect for anyone willing to speak their mind. Hope you enjoy it, too.

P.S.- Toooootally unrelated, but I saw District 9, and it was not at all what I expected for it to be, but I would still recommend seeing it! It’s worth the 10-or-so-bucks. Also, I finally started playing Fallout 3, and I am completely addicted. I am sure you will see a post from me in the near future regarding my progress in the game.

Peace and such-n-such,

Katy
