You're never too far from a McDonald's..

A visualization of distance from the fast food giants in the United States. Not surprising, but pretty interesting to see it laid out like this...




"For maximum McSparseness, we look westward, towards the deepest, darkest holes in our map. There, in a patch of rolling grassland, loosely hemmed in by Bismarck, Dickinson, Pierre, and the greater Rapid City-Spearfish-Sturgis metropolitan area, we find our answer. Between the tiny Dakotan hamlets of Meadow and Glad Valley lies the McFarthest Spot: 107 miles distant from the nearest McDonald's, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car!"



Who the fuck still eats McDonald's anyway? I know I don't. The only reason a fast food chain can do this is because u.s. is lazy and fat. We plan everything else out except what we're going to eat and that's when we give that option to someone else.

Fuck McDonald's..

Anyway, here's a documentary that everyone should have already watched.

¡Viva México!







Ahora marca El Día de la Independencia de México que seguraron en 1821. Nombres como Miguel Higaldo y Ignacio Allende vienen a mente pero no se puede olvidar las personas que pusieron su vida en la linea contra el ejercito Español.

Que viva la cultura Méxicana y todos los que han tenido su historia destruida por el imperialismo y colonialismo.

Que sacen a Wal-Mart de México.

Necesitamos que soportar nuestra gente y a las companias que soportan a la comunidad con intenciónes buena.

R.I.P. Tupac Amaru Shakur 9/13/1996





13 years have passed since the "untimely" death of this man. My very 1st cd was The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory and I was blown away by his passion. He personified the words "T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E." (The Hate U Gave Little Infants Fucks Everybody) meaning, what you feed us as seeds, grows, and blows up in your face. His talent as a lyricist and later as an actor were amazing. He spoke from his heart and was one of the realest.

He grew up submerged in the constant struggle for liberation, freedom and equality. His mother was a Black Panther and one of his father figures is Dr. Mutulu Shakur and Mumia Abu- Jamal.

He wasn't just another rapper. When he spoke, you could feel his pain and the love he shared for all people. He read extensively on many subjects and wrote poetry as well.

Here's one of his poems;

In the event of my Demise by Tupac

In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise




Check out this speech.
He was only 22 years old @ this time.




If you want to see a good documentary about his life from beginning to end, then check out Tupac: Resurrection. It's the only Documentary that his Mother Afeni Shakur was involved in.



Here's the trailer


A lot of rappers have since jacked his style and his persona but no one can mimic him. He is in a lane all by himself.

Below is an interview he gave in 1994 when he was on trial for supposedly sexually abusing a girl. A couple of days later he was shot. Shakur had received five bullet wounds; twice in the head, twice in the groin and once through the arm and thigh.

He'll forever be an inspiration for me.

Respects,
To The Greatest Of All Time.

Nunca Olvidaremos 9/11



NEVER FORGET 9/11

Sept. 11.1973 – A CIA backed coup in Chile headed by General Augusto Pinochet topples the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. Pinochet remains in power for almost 17 years.

The U.S. did not want another "socialist" country in Latin America, so they backed a coup to remove this headache from power. A little influence from corporations who had companies in Chile was also part of the reason the U.S. was involved.

The u.s. always seems to know what's good for other countries but doesn't show the same love to it's own country. It's main concern is control, manipulation, programming and capitalism(their god).


"So, let’s imagine how [the September 11th attacks] could have been worse for example. Suppose that on September 11, Al-Qaeda had bombed the White House and killed the President, instituted a murderous, brutal regime which killed maybe 50,000 to 100,000 people and tortured about 700,000, set up a major international terrorist center in Washington, which was overthrowing governments all over the world, and installing brutal vicious neo-Nazi dictatorships, assassinating people. Suppose he called in a bunch of economists, let’s call them the 'Kandahar Boys' to run the American economy, who within a couple of years had driven the economy into one of the worst collapses of its history. Suppose this had happened. That would have been worse than 9/11, right? But it did happen. And it happened on 9/11. That happened on September 11, 1973 in Chile. The only thing you have to change is this per capita equivalence, which is the right way to look at it. Well, did that change the world? Yeah, it did but not from our point of view, in fact, who even knows about it? Incidentally, just to finish, because we [the U.S.] were responsible for that one."Noam Chomsky.

Out of Context



New Zealand: 1893

Australia: 1902

Canada: 1917

Denmark: 1915

Germany: 1918

Why are these countries and dates relevant? Well, these are the years that these countries passed their Women's Right to Vote.

The u.s. passed a bill for Women's Right to Vote in 1920. The united states was established in 1776. Why did it take so long?

It took the u.s. an average of 11 years (based on the examples given) to meet a standard for women that should have been an inalienable right.

There is still a glass ceiling, stereotypes, and gender inequalities that must be destroyed but remember that you do not have to sell out to achieve what YOU define as success.

Create your own definitions.
