Just a t-shirt that's connected to every person in the globe! Whether you're a skateboarder, or a hip-hop head... Coming from an era where we live thru art in the form of expression and feeling. I'm the one that makes that connection!

Occupy Oakland... And Libya (and what you didn't know about the country)

We're at it again world!!....

But I think we forgot about the Oakland riots.... and the police brutality over there in Cali. Evidently... THEY STILL DON'T GIVE A F*CK!! So the Oakland police force felt the need to bomb the protesters with tear gas!!... Really?!? At the same time I'm confused.. and upset; mainly because.... It seems they have sympathy towards anyone!!.. You're bombing citizens who are fighting for a cause.... and that cause effects you as well!! Don't people realize that these protests effect ALL citizens.

Ya'll are bombing the wrong people!!... They say "choose your battles wisely"... But are you that confused about who is the RIGHT team??

Now I read this article today... And I had to share this information with MY PEOPLE!!

16 Things Libya Will Never See Again

Great Manmade River
  1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
  2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law.
  3. Having a home considered a human right in Libya.
  4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
  5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent.
  6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick start their farms are all for free.
  7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.
  8. If a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price.
  9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
  10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally.
  11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she is employed, until employment is found.
  12. A portion of every Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
  13. A mother who gives birth to a child receive U.S.$5,000.
  14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15.
  15. 25 percent of Libyans have a university degree.
  16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.
All I can ask is..... Why were we at war with Libya/Gaddafi again?? I guess the world can read up on this a little more now.

That's it for today folks.... Until next time
