I feel as though I was born in the perfect year and since my birth in 1970 I have been witness to some historical events but none of them are even worth mentioning when you consider what I saw happen over the past 24 hours or even the past 24 weeks for that matter.

When Barack Obama was given the Democratic nomination I was not shocked. I was upset because I honestly did not believe America was ready to elect a Black man to the White house and I did think we needed change that no Republican would provide. I have never been so happy to have been proven wrong. Maybe the day has come when fewer of us see color and more of us see through the skin to the person inside.

Barack Obama is a polarizing, transformational figure with the weight of a planet on his shoulders. He made a lot of promises and lots of people want to see him fail but the fact is we have a new leader and he’s not a rich white man. An educated black man will run America and the next four years should prove to be far more interesting than the last four have been.

Good luck to Barack Hussein Obama. Let’s hope we get at least half of what he offered.

This line in the article pretty much sums it up:
“In recent years autism has been blamed on everything from discarded iPod batteries to mercury from Chinese power stations, from antenatal ultrasound scans to post-natal cord clamping, from diet to vaccines,” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.”

There are more than one reason for the condition called autism and trying to figure it out is useless. It’s become a blame game with the medical establishment throwing out garbage science to confuse people and avoid being caught poisoning our children. What we need to do is figure out how to make the world a safer and better place for these people. The common thing I have seen in most autistic children is an inability to defend or protect themselves in the face of danger. Most autistic children are simple happy people who focus more on the lights in a room rather than whether or not someone is trying to take advantage of them. They need a world where their neighbor isn’t willing to use them to get ahead.

It seems to me like autistic people are an evolutionary step forward with new abilities they have a difficult time understanding or managing. My son cannot control the things he hears and is easily distracted by the everyday sounds of life we all tone out. He will probably never drive a car or even hold a normal job but he will make music one day I m certain. By taking a step forward inn evolution this new generation has lost some of those base abilities we take for granted. My son has a hard time tying shoes but he loves anything slip on or velcro. He’s defenseless against many people and a pushover when it comes to dealing with others. Even much smaaller and much younger children can easily overpower or take addvantage of my son because he rarely faces confrontation or defends himself. He allows people to take things from him and he wont say anything about it.

In the world we live in now he is weak and sure to become a victim of the nasty hard world around him. He has evolved while society and the world around him has de-evolved into a nasty uncivil place where my sons unequivocal trust of man is a liability and not a trait to be admired as it should be in an evolved society. We will spend billions in search of the reasons for autism and billions more on the search for a cure when what we should do with that money is use it to force the evolution of society into a better and safer world for all of us.

Autism linked with rainfall in study | Health | Reuters

Children who live in the U.S. Northwest’s wettest counties are more likely to have autism, but it is unclear why, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

Michael Waldman of Cornell University and colleagues were searching for an environmental link with autism, a condition characterized by learning and social disabilities.

They got autism rates from state and county agencies for children born in California, Oregon and Washington between 1987 and 1999 and plotted them against daily precipitation reports.

“Autism prevalence rates for school-aged children in California, Oregon and Washington in 2005 were positively related to the amount of precipitation these counties received from 1987 through 2001,” they wrote in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

Dr. Michael Fitzpatrick, a London physician who wrote “Defeating Autism: A Damaging Delusion”, expressed doubt, noting that autism diagnoses are on the rise in all climates.

No one know what causes autism, whose symptoms range from severe social avoidance to repetitive behaviors and sometimes profound mental retardation.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about one in every 150 children has autism or a related disorder such as Asperger’s Syndrome. Rates in many countries have been rising, although that may be partly due to increased reporting and diagnosis of the condition.

Doctors agree there is a genetic component to autism. They also theorize that something in the environment and possibly conditions in the womb can trigger the condition.

The researchers said their study supports this idea.

Perhaps infants and toddlers are kept are kept indoors in front of the TV more in rainy climates, and that somehow causes brain changes, they said. Or perhaps they breathe in more harmful chemicals while indoors.

Vitamin D deficiency caused by insufficient time in the sun might also be a trigger, they said.

“Finally, there is also the possibility that precipitation itself is more directly involved,” they wrote. Perhaps a chemical or chemicals in the upper atmosphere are transported to the surface through rain or snow.

“In recent years autism has been blamed on everything from discarded iPod batteries to mercury from Chinese power stations, from antenatal ultrasound scans to post-natal cord clamping, from diet to vaccines,” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a long-term study to find the causes of autism and other childhood conditions.

The Revolution Will Not Be Organized

The revolution will not be organized,
the revolution will not be organized.com,
the revolution will not be Yahoo Grouped, Meetuped,
downloaded, uploaded, QWERTY’d, or blogged.

The revolution will not be handled by webmasters,
think-tankers, authors of policy position papers,
authors of anti-policy position papers,
secretaries, executives, executive assistants,
insiders, whistle-blowers, informants, counter-informants,
committees or sub-committees.

Your neighbor with excellent leadership qualities
will not lead you into, through, or out of the revolution.
The revolution will not be inspired, instigated, managed
or controlled by him, her, or them.
The revolution will not be organized.

No matter if you eat at McDonald’s and can barely walk,
no matter if you drive an S.U.V. and rarely walk,
no matter if you were public school indoctrinated,
vaccinated, humiliated, ostracized, terrorized, minimized,
no matter if you live in a house owned by BofA,
no matter if you eat cat food, dog food,
Puppy Chow for your inner child,
no matter if you shop at Salvation Army, Saks, TJ Maxx,
when the Cold Hand of Power touches you,
it touches revolution.

They will come to chip you, rape you,
tell you you are theirs, imprison you in FEMA camps
because you spoke out,
because you doubted the official story,
because you looked with your own eyes,
spoke from your own heart.
They will come for you in black uniforms, black helmets,
swinging black batons, symbols of the New Authority,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

You will say no — not because Charlie Sheen
inspired you one night on FOX News
to look more closely at falling towers.
You will say no — not because Alex Jones
led you through the darkness with a bullhorn.
You will say no — not because Howard Zinn
handed you the Book of Truth on a silver platter.
You will say no because you are your own
star of truth shining the way.

At your unique hour, in the dark,
beneath a burning paper currency moon,
the Cold Hand of Power will touch you and revolt you.

At your unique hour,
when they come for you because you asked questions,
because you did not lower your eyes,
because you did not bow down,
at your unique hour,
in your unique circumstance,
you will find yourself in the grip of a courage
you have not known but which you are.
You will stand in front of black helmets with invisible faces,
and you will say,
“No, my children and I will not come with you.”

Daughters and sons of revolutionaries,
blood burning for freedom,
eyes set toward tomorrow,
each of you alone in the darkness,
beneath tender constellations burning gold and silver,
each of you will remember the path to take
when the Cold Hand of Power comes for you,
each of you will make your way without direction or encouragement,
as those before you made their way without direction or encouragement,
forging history, embracing destiny.

You will not march in file.
You will not march.
The revolution will not be organized.

In your darkest hour,
beneath the burning moon,
you will pledge allegiance to the truth,
as those before you pledged allegiance to the truth.

The truth cannot be organized.

For those of us who know nothing about the next Vice President here is a page with some pretty disgusting details into this womans life.

She’s a perfect fit for the Grand Olde Party boys and possibly the first female President in history. The hunting thing is not the worse she could do but its certainly not humane or sporty to hunt habituated animals who are accustomed to being viewed by humans and not shot by them.

I think the fact she’s so in bed with the oil industry and that she has already been accused of abusing her power are the scariest things we have to worry about. We have already been the victims of power hungry abusive leaders and what are we about to get?

Same shit on a different shit ticket!!

I’m not the biggest crap fan alive but I have been around long enough to know this brother found a formula and he’s playing it to the top of the charts. His rap is too perfectly orchestrated and I find much of his huff and puff to be little more than hot air.

He talks mad shit but I’m afraid it’s all talk and his gangster days, if he ever really had any at all, are long behind him. He talks about things he may have done or may want you to think he’s done but that brother lives a fat juicy plush life and his hard edge is store bought.

He’s flying high as the hottest crapper in the world but its still just crap right?

Here is an excellent article on the importance of bicycles. I’m not riding as much as I would like but I do have my bikes here in Jamaica. I should be taking in some world class mountain biking and instead I’m dragging a trailer with the kids around the beach and West End Negril.

I’m having fun withe the family and the bikes but I’m feeling the need to hit the trails soon. I’m going to start riding more often as soon as things cool off a bit. It’s so hot here in Jamaica that I melted three pairs of shoes into junk last month. I’ll post a pic of that next.

AS A LIFESAVER
Health care workers in Senegal, Namibia, and other African nations usually walk miles over dusty roads to deliver food, medicine, and companionship to people with HIV/AIDS. But with the donation of 1,500 single-speed bicycles by BikeTown Africa, caregivers now visit as many as six times more people in need. The program, a partnership between Bicycling magazine, Kona Bicycle Company, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, has a broad mission: Says Steve Madden, editor-in-chief of Bicycling, “One bike at a time, we can solve big problems and change the world.”

I think Axl should be arrested for putting out crap like this new Chinese Demoicracy album and calling it a Guns and Roses album. He should be ashamed at the very least if not put behind bars for wrecking one of the best groups in rock and roll and then taking 15 years to spit out a useless album of such garbage.

Yes, I have heard the album. I was able to download the zip file on Rapidshare and I have the songs on my Zune. It’s shit and Axl probably had the kid arrested just so no one would hear this thing. I think he named it Chinese Democracy because he knows that just like this album will ever have a chance at success neither will Democracy in China.

Now this poor kid faces the Federales for posting some crap mp3 files on his blog because the music industry feels they will lose millions of our hard earned bucks on this steaming pile of crizap. I think they realize the album is junk and they want to make a big stink out of this kids actions so they can blame it on him when the album finally is released and it bombs like democracy in China did.

Maybe we should help the guy out and click some ads on his blog or something?

Feds arrest man accused of posting unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs* | Technology | Los Angeles Times

How he got his hands on the goods, we don’t yet know. But today, police visited the home of a Culver City man and arrested him on suspicion of violating federal copyright law by posting nine previously unreleased Guns N’ Roses songs on a website, Scott Glover reports in this L.A. Times story.

In June, the nine songs, from the band’s upcoming album “Chinese Democracy,” ended up on the website Antiquiet, which drew the attention of the feds. The site received so much traffic that it crashed.

Are you hardcore? K’naan is and this song lights a fire under some gangsta ass crappers like 50 cent the “half dollar half a man” and the limp bitches from limp bizcuit. His lyrics are hard and his beats are even harder. No doubt K’naan has seen some shit and you can here it in his music.

This is an unofficial video for his some “Are you hardcore?” put together by some fans from YouTube. The video uses some hardcore footage from Africa and is made to make you think. Be warned it’s graphic and the images of war torn Africa are hardcore.

Are You Hardcore? Really? So What’s Hardcore?

Why use Bigfoot as an internet hoax? Don’t we have enough jokes and scams on the internet?

I hope they catch the crook and he is 8 foot tall, hairy as a henderson and smells like a skunk!

I’ve been busy listening to other music and this is the only Cure Album I have. Jah Cure is super hot in Jamaica right now and probably one of the top rising performers in the country. His popularity amongst the females is huge as I witnessed with the number of females who followed him out of the show after 7AM on Friday morning. There was one tall sexy Jamaican girl who kept chanting in a sexy voice “It’s you I love Cure. It’s you I love.” She kept it up as did a dozen others who managed to squeeze backstage after his performance. He drove off in an all black Yukon

I was able to grab a few words with him and his management team from Danger Music but I did not get to spend much time at all. I was being dogged all night by another Jamaican artist who insisted I take his picture with Cure and in chasing the man for the photo my friend annoyed him and I backed off. I got the boss mans linkup and thats nuff for me but it would have been cool to have my pic taken instead of me taking these.

Here is my friend Anthony Able at SumFest with Jah Cure. He wanted the whole world to see him and Cure together and when Cure finally stopped all he could say was something about “all dis for a pik cha mon?’. I guess Anthony and Jah Cure where in jail together back in 1996 and Anthony thought he would be glad to see him. As I thought Jah Cure showed little interest in speaking to a jail house buddy and he blew Anthony off straight up after this picture was taken.
