Prank on Texas Boys- Bruno
I couldn’t tell you if this was a real prank or a “pretend” real prank. Still it is amusing.

All men recognize the right..
All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to,and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.

Let Every Man Make Known…..
Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.

Neda
State media has confirmed 17 deaths as a result of the protests that followed the disputed election in Iran. But one death, a woman who has become known as Neda, has stood out to protesters - and to the world.
Neda, which may or may not be her real name, means "the call" or "the voice" in Farsi. She was shot yesterday at a protest in Tehran, and her death was captured on video, now widely circulated on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other sites. If you wish to see the video, here is a link.
However, I warn you that it is quite graphic. Personally the photo above is enough for me.

From a Persian blog
“I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It’s worth to read the poems of Forough and Shamloo again. All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them. I’m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic. I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…”
