A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."Dr. King never fails to move me with the eloquence and power of his words. How I wish the world still had him.

What makes me speak up is anything that is illogical... I can't deal w/illogical people, views... whatever...Nonsensical solutions that big wigs spout off... especially when they think they can fool the general public.
ReplyDeleteWhen you speak up, you are drowned out by the shouting political pandering passing itself off as debate, and by the Roman bread and circus media.Perhaps this world needs more silence so the important thoughts could be heard.
ReplyDeleteI speak up when my kids are negatively affected by something. Every Time.
ReplyDeleteEVERY American should be SHOUTING now!!!

Me too! My favorite quote was from his "I Have a Dream" Speech... "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." It still sounds like words to live by to me. ~ j///b
ReplyDeleteI speak up when I see someone being mistreated, nobody has any right to treat anyone as "less than". I'm an advocate when it comes to peoples rights, especially the less fortunate or minorities who tend not be heard. The more educated I become the less fearful I am to speak up, I am acquiring the knowledge to back up my words which is generally useful. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Carmi!
