Iran could be the key to democracy taking hold in the Middle East

Other Arab and Muslim nations have shown what it takes to regain control of a country and make government responsible to those it governs.  They have taken the lesson from the Civil Rights example shown in the United States so many years ago and revised it to fit the times we live in today.  While all of this should make any human being with a love for freedom sings the praises of God, it should also make all of us aware of the price it may cost.

Iran may be the key to democracy taking hold in the Middle East because it has been attempted more times in the recent years than many of those countries like Egypt who succeeded.  I would not be surprised if Korea soon begins to feel the fire of freedom.  We know that “the security clampdown is reminiscent of the backlash that crushed a wave of massive protests after Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election in June 2009.” As reported by Ali Akbar Dareini of the Associated Press, but we also know that  “Turkish President Abdullah Gul, who is on a visit to Iran, urged governments in the Middle East to listen to the demands of their people. "When leaders and heads of countries do not pay attention to the demands of their nations, the people themselves take action to achieve their demands," IRNA quoted Gul as saying Monday.”  The Iranian government may be able to succeed in putting the people down but they will never be successful at keeping them down.

Like anything else the phoenix shall always rise from the ashes and the tide always comes in.  Before long the people will connect, come together and be victorious in securing their freedoms and taking back their government.  This will happen because you can never control a destiny only corral it.  Why will Iran be the catalyst for democracy in the Middle East?  Mainly because no one expects the citizens to ever rule their own country.  Mainly because Iran’s leaders now must be seen as the bullies of the reign while their people only wish to be seen.  Their voices began with a whisper and are slowly becoming a roar and we all know what happens when the lion roars.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
