The Jewish Chronicle - Frankel House send governor bill to divest Pa funds from Iran Sudan

Follow this link, it's heartening news. I don't have much more to say about it, except that it makes me so mad that people don't do everything they can to prevent this. Yes, some of that anger is turned on myself.

I wish I was more elegant and could say all that I feel on this subject, especially right now, at a moments notice. Everyone should read the book An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina, or you might recognize him this way: it's the autobiography of the man that the movie Hotel Rwanda is all about. It's an intimate look at what genocide is, and how humanity is failing one another in letting this continue.

This is not an elegant speech or a call to specific action, at least not yet, but it is a start. It's a cry for awareness, it's an attempt to let people know that we have to do something, because everything is not OK. Come on people, this should be at the top if the international to do list.

By way of introduction

I am a Canadian, but I am also an American. At least legally. I have lived on both sides of the border long enough to be qualified to comment on life in both countries. At the same time, I feel like paraphrasing Aristotle and declare that I am neither Canadian, or American, but a citizen of the World. Maybe I'm all three; thats for the reader to decide.

Here, I intend to poke and prod at the social conscious, to awaken people to a sense of greatness and service, to inspire action and help direct that action to the areas that need it most. I am one part activist, one part social entrepreneur, one part statesman in training, and 100% willing to do what it takes to make a change for the better is this world. Stick around, you might just see something worth reading. And in reading you might just learn something.
