VICTORY: NO JAIL FOR JENA 6

Well at least for 5 of them. This is truly an example of peaceful protest influencing the outcome of a criminal case that should have settled by the school's principals. It is a fact that judges and prosecutors still see the race instead of the personality behind the offender. Thank goodness that the citizens stood up for justice in this case.

The people of this world had better be careful about harassing each other on the basis of their skin's pigmentation.

LISTEN TO TAJ OF SWV @ 2:41

After watching Taj get blindsided in the Survivor finale, I had to post this favorite song of SWV in honor of how well she played the game. Good music lives on...



Holla, if you like SWV.

Do you feel Wanda was biased against Republicans, or did she spread the jabs around?

THE OPTIMIST CREED

I promise myself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, & prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is
something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
& make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
& to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on
to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times &
give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself
that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
& too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself & to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,
so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

--Christian D. Larson

Here's a pdf version of the creed, if anybody wants to print it out.
