I have sent the following request to a person of great interest to few, yet with a wealth of knowledge greater than many:
I approach your greatness with a request to interview you for the purposes of free expression of multiple viewpoints on my blog. Since my interview with Lynne Williams fell through with her complete and total silence, I seek to interview you. The topics I will be interested in will be Iceland (particularly your knowledge of its historical cultures), Easter Island, and any temple based upon now lost documents in India.
Email (alright, facebook) request over. That's right folks, I am a man of only the most professional of practices.
A little taste of political logic (with a side dose of insanity and humor to make things interesting.) My life will occassionally be brought in with some journalism.

Green Revolution Update
I know many are wondering why I have not posted on the Iranian situation (mostly because of your emails). While events are continuing, and deaths are increasing, as of yet there is no visible change. The protests themselves was a change, but they have yet to take the next step. For what I see in the movement is just a willingness to make themselves sheep to the slaughter, and until they move to become wolves themselves and take their country and their freedom back no further stories about this uprising will occur. They need to know what they want and get what they want. Peaceful reform does not seem to be working, as the Iranian government is already using violence beyond what took place in America during the civil rights movement.
If you want freedom you must make yourself free. First know what removes your freedom: is it the one who gives orders or bullets? Which one is to blame ultimately for your oppression? Target the source of oppression first, and that will limit the bloodshed that oppression brings to you.
If bloodshed is limited, stick with peace. Yet for Iran, peace has not worked. To be treated as a savage means you must become a savage to become free. In the chaos of violence is held the chaos of freedom- freedom being the peaceful result of liberating violence. Do not mistake my words for that of a radical. I am not endorsing violence against any non-violent or democratic government. I am saying a regime taking away freedoms with no legitimate elective system that uses violence and oppression to maintain power is deserving of a violent response by the oppressed. It is their only way to gain a just freedom in Iran. In this situation, these events, I endorse violent action. It is only in this circumstance, my viewpoint is not the same for Thailand, or Egypt. Certainly not for America. In Europe, only Belarus is oppressive yet a movement for freedom must take place before a fight for freedom.

E-Mail Mysteries Continue
A while back I got an email from Al Franken, and I was confused as to how I got on his email list. Well, going back through I have registered officially for only two email updates: from the former campaign website obama.com and from the White House email list. Somehow I have now received emails from "democracyinaction" and "Communities Standing Together".
Add this to a small email faux pas conducted by Lynne William's campaign in which all email receivers saw the email of everyone else who got the email, after having someone who supports Lynne use their own email to send the message instead of using an official Lynne Williams campaign member email.
I guarantee that any campaign I am part of shall always respect the privacy of all supporters and not engage in such activities which would reveal your information to anyone you do not approve to have see it.
In other news, I was hoping against hope that my special interview with Lynne Williams (yes, I try to represent as many sides as possible, now stop staring at this sentence with your mouth open). Due to schedule issues we couldn't meet in person, so we agreed (two weeks ago) to have an email interview. I send questions, she sends responses. Well, we corresponded frequently about the interview and then once I sent it, I have received no response. So, tomorrow (as tonight I will admit defeat to the pull of sleep) I shall post my review of the Bruce Poliquin issues and Rosa Scarcelli jobs proposal.
