Iran's Election?

Yesterday Iran voted in a general election.  The vote was riddled with problems since some parties were barred from participating due to not being Muslim enough.  This is wrong.  In a vote everybody should be allowed to participate regardless of religion. 

This sounds familiar,  oh I know, this is happening here in the US.  Barack Obama is "not Christian enough".  The conservatives are trying to bar him from running or scare voters into not electing him because of his religious believes.  We could also go into how he is "not black enough"  how he is "not patriotic enough"... I could go on and on.

This might seem like a pro-Obama blog but it isn't, this blog is a pro-freedom blog.  The people of Iran got to vote, that is a step in the right direction, but people should be able to vote and  to run regardless of who they are.  Heck, a Christian should have the right to run in Iran, if that person believes in freedom, and should not run into problems created by the people who don't want that person to run.  If a person is creating problems then the country does not really have a free election system.

Just like here in the US, we should let anybody on the ballot.  There is no such thing as "not enough".  It is about who can run the government and protect the freedoms we all believe in, if we look for the "not enough"  then we are giving up the freedoms we all profess to live by.  (The first Muslim sworn into congress, used Thomas Jefferson's Koran,  that I think Thomas Jefferson would be proud of.)

Toxic Waste Kenya

This is another of the world's problems that needs some attention.  Improperly disposed of waste.  

According to the article I just read, many individuals are very ill from containers improperly dumped in Kenya.  A trucker who saw the containers leaking just dumped them near a river and port.  This is a huge problem.

I don't know who needs to look into this.  We are killing our world.  The people who are affected by this did not tell the company, hey company, we would love for you to have leaky containers near our water, yes please kill our children so you can feed  your greed.

This is a world issue.  Please help and pray for the people who are affected by this in Kenya.

Domestic news- Drinking water Problems

I drink tons of tap water.  I love drinking water because I am limited on sugar drinks I can have.  I make my children's bottles with tap water because it is cheap and tasty in my opinion.  I don't know what to do.

The EPA can not be trusted to make sure the water supply is safe and the pharmaceutical companies are to blame for this because of intense advertising.  My female body does not need extra estrogen nor do I need trace amounts of mood drugs because I am not depressed.  Nor do my children.  But many US citizens are on these drugs to make them "feel" better.  

As an average American there is not much I can do.  I was proud of the fact that I have never taken illegal drugs and that I limit the amount of pharmaceuticals that enter my home.  Heck, my son has been tested over and over again at the insistence of teachers for ADHD, he tested negative every time, but the teachers knew, that even if he had it, I would not medicate him for a behavior. He would have been placed in counseling and taught how to behave.  

I have insulin resistance, so water is a huge portion of my diet. I can't supplement with sugar drinks, but again those sugar drinks are manufactured with tap water.  

This is a huge problem.  I don't know what else to write. But I blame the Republican administration for not cleaning up the environment and letting companies run rampant with advertising of drugs that might not be necessary.  Terrorism doesn't scare me, this does.
