These are dire days as I see it. But I've always been a believer that the power lies in the hands of the people, and it is usually our acceptance of notions of helplessness and subservience that prevent us from making great change. And I think we do need to.

I joined this thinkMTV thing as part of applying for the Choose or Lose Vlogger 08 slot for Oregon. But really, any outlet I can find to share what my ideas of what truth and hope are, I will use. Any time I can speak back and out against the forces that mean us harm, I will. Any time I can aid those in need of a voice, I will. And admit it: any day there is an excuse to shoot video is a good one! :]
