the united them vs. we

We’ve superseded failures.

Their grandiose repertoire of consternation.

Such ruthless aspirations, run amok.

Now rundown; divided, red and blue.

The peons bearing flags, bearing arms.

Feigning that they haven’t given in.

When they’ve wholly given up-

That passion to save what little we have left.

KGAN Local News on the Ernie and Bert Gay Marriage Proposal

KGAN CBS 2--
Are Bert and Ernie gay? One gay rights activist wants the couple to get married, but Sesame Street says the two are just friends. What do you think?

If there is an issue that needs addressed on Sesame Street it is Oscars homelessness and possible mental illness/drug addiction. He obviously has problems if he is living in a garbage can. I would like to see him move into a shelter where he will realize he has just been being mean to everyone because he hates himself. Then once he cleans up his act he should get a job. Jobs are a part of life kids need to know about. You can't just live in a garbage can and yell at people without going to jail.

cultural colors

The Himba people of Namibia see colors much differently than we do. I found this rather interesting considering the considerable difference in how they classify things linguistically relative to Western cultures. Enjoy!
