CAN'T STOP LISTENING, OBSESSIVELY TO THESE CD'S

someone watches too much tv.

McCarthyism!
...Petrelli-ism?

it's in the eyes.
The fear of this "force" that could ruin the safety and general state of America.

INSTIGATORS OF FEAR.

true, heroes is a tv show, and mcCarthyism actually happened, but maybe it was a veiled attempt at showing the terror that is control-ism (influenced by the red scare).

McCarthyism: Attempt at getting rid of all these Soviet spies that supposedly infiltrated American borders, literally and figuratively, (the government). Accusing people of being communists,and in turn ruining their lives, ugh hoover.

Petrelli-ism: Attempt at getting rid of all these heroes that could supposedly ruin America and put everyone in danger. He accused people of being villains, even if all they could do was breathe under water. He attempted to gather them all up and put them in internment type camps, in turn ruining their lives completely.

man Heroes is legit.

Am i the ONLY one that sees the similarities?

best wedding invitation EVER, ohhh crazy romance

The sweetest.

//dangerously manifested curiosity.

I study cultures, their vast differences and even more vast similarities. The way cultures approach the world, how they view it, handle it, cope within it. I study people and the way this man-made environment shape and change their lives.

So it's only natural that I would love to see where the breaches of technology land me. If you're from India, Russia, Spain, Australia, France, Egypt, anywhere, and you're looking at my blog, I've accomplished my goal; To have my words, thoughts, and opinions on the eyes and minds of anyone outside my own cultural realm.

See, I've learned that any sort of cultural interaction, even one through the internet has the vast power to change a person, to influence them to think about something differently, to see something unlike it was seen before. Though interesting, the fine fine line between cultural preservation and cultural openness treads on a tricky, and near impossible slope... There is no one answer, each situation is unique.

BUT there are two general options: abolish all cultural interconnectedness (globalization, etc.) in order to keep the groups, in for instance, Papua New Guinea practicing their own "occult" religions; or open up our borders, share culture, spread it, eventually resulting in a "cosmopolitan society" where everyone knows everyone's customs, and nothing is no longer considered strange, or foreign. To me, that would make this world lose a lot of its beauty. It goes back to this "fine fine line" we're treading on, the solution-less one.

I really could go on forever, i mean, it's what I have to write a 50+ page thesis on in about a year.

Basically though, I was just trying to explain the new "who.amung.us" app I added. To clarify that it is not to see WHO'S stalking me, not specifics, more or less it's just my general curiosity acting up.
"where in the world is carmen sandiego", we never really know, but we have a general idea.
... plus who did curiosity ever hurt, except for a nameless homogenized cat.
