If I didn't laugh at the absurdity of our system of electing political officials, I would probably cry... Here is a video that made me laugh until I did cry!

"Freedom Writers"
We just watched a VERY good film, "Freedom Writers" with Hillary Swank and Patrick Dempsey. Check out this trailer...
This film impacted me in surprising ways. I guess the most powerful message for me was the fact that with HOPE comes incredible power. We can do anything if we hold on to hope, and life is fatalistic without it. The power of of a person being able to tell their story to someone else is something that should never be underestimated.
Besides the over-arching themes in this film, I also witnessed the power in putting our thoughts down for others to see. To that end, I will probably be posting more frequently when I feel like I have something to say. Stay tuned...
