20 down and one to go

 I do not post anything on Facebook, outside to thank everyone for wishing me Happy Birthday once a year.  I do follow some interesting items on it though and one of them is called Exposing the Truth.  Today, I found this link about 8 ways to bring down the pyramids of control.  The first of the 8 steps is media and intelligence and it suggests that you turn off the TV and start a blog!  It says that the TV dumbs you down.  I often blog while watching TV so maybe my blog would be better if I had no distractions.  The second is one I can relate to because it talks about “natural medication like cannabis and I think I have been pretty clear how I feel about marijuana.  While searching for the link that Exposing the truth had used to post on FB, I came across a blog, a very well researched and written blog, about the 8 ways America is headed back to the age of RobberBarons.  I couldn’t agree more. That history has repeated itself, mankind is evolving in so many ways yet people’s quest for power, greed money and control still exists and it appears to be just part of the human condition.

Saturday was a great day where my family celebrated a number of family member's birthdays.  That night, I got to see my grandaughter and I babysat her.  I watched a great Saturday Night Live whose guest host was Bruno Mars.  He is very talented, I had never heard of him before but I was very impressed with his talent singing, he was funny in the skits that he was in and he is a hansome guy.  Almost to good looking to be straight, not that it matters or isn't anyones business but his own.

This is post number 20 and it is a good segue to one of my favorite topics to blog about, 9/11.  The 20 dollar bill, if one folds it correctly, turns into images of the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon smoking on 9/11.  It is like a subliminal message every time someone has this bill in their hand. 9/11, the event that lead to the US occupation in Afghanistan.  I have listed the number of soldiers who have died in that God forsaken country on the image above and it is the last time that I will be doing this for this 21 blog posting project.  It is very sad that America these young people are dying in a war that corperate, main stream media seems to have loss interest in, that Obama and Romney are talking very much about this war.  I wish those wanting to be reelected or elected to run the United States could explain what this country gains for from all of the money spent and all of the lives lost in Afghanistan.
