There is an article in today's New York Times Styles section about the celebrities campaign to stop the oppression in Burma aka Myanmar. They are campaigning to on YouTube to fight against the oppression and stand for human rights in Burma. Ummmmmmmmmm people in our country don't have health insurance, they are loosing their homes because of a mortgage crisis and they can't afford gas to get the to work. What about the fact that the moratorium for the death penalty has been lifted because they found that freezing a person before they kill them is in fact a human way to kill someone. Did i just write" a humane way to kill someone" in the same sentence? I got to make my own sign for YouTube it says put the oxygen mask on yourself before your child!!! And........... the article also says; "that after three decades of isolationist totalitarian rule and multiple coups, the country held free elections in 1990. The national league for democracy, led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, won 82 percent of the parliamentary seats but the junta refused to relinquish power." Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, (A Nobel peace prize winner for her expression of non violence) has been under house arrest for 12 of the last 18 years. They say that even people who know about her, can't pronounce her name. ( ung san su kee is my guess) Ummmm because they are too busy pronouncing Al Gore and Superdelegates. In this great USA woman still get paid less then men for the exact same jobs.  And on the cover of AOl today there is picture of a man who locked his daughter in the house for 24 years.................................. I'm sure she is not getting a Nobel peace prize for her non vilolent time spent.
