Yes, I know the video “This Land” by the great JibJab is old and outdated, but heck I just think it is one of the best videos out there, plus I had a sudden urge to watch it once more and thought I would share. And in case you joined the internet band wagon a bit late and you remember Bush vs Kerry election than I guarantee you will get a great laugh from this as I did, and still do! Enjoy:

What is happening to our country? Are people so paranoid, so fearful, so… obsessed with trying to make the perfect utopia that they result to stripping out any religion, any patriotism, well any personality for that matter. Sure it was one thing to try and remove GOD from Government (Even though it goes against the Founding Fathers, and how the country was born), but to go so far that they are considering banning the AMERICAN flag from schools? Last I checked, we live in America, or did I miss something and we got taken over by another country? Doesn’t the national anthem mention being proud that the flag “was still there”, and now we are trying to tear it down? It seems as though people want to be so politically-correct, and respectful to others that it ends up having an opposite effect and becomes what it is trying to avoid.

All this comes about from FOX News posting a poll to see if we should ban the American flag from schools to “protect the children”. Apparently the flag is causing fights? Seems to me that instead of banning it, the schools should stop teaching us the junk we will never need to know, and concentrate more on the subjects we should know, like what the flag stands for. To think that after 9-11 the country had come together with great patriotism all around. Now only a short 9 years later and we have people wanting the flag gone. This country is falling apart. Help save it by voting on the FOX News poll to say, “NO!”.

The worst part of all this? The majority votes on this poll are in favor of banning the American flag…

Now here is some interesting art, take some cassette tapes, pull out the tape and make a design out of it. Had to have been difficult keeping the tape in place in order to get the details in each design. Check out the full series at DesignersCouch.

Here’s a fun infographic going over the differences between cats and dogs. Does this settle your argument for which is better? I think they come out even according to the data, but they failed to include how much fun each animal is and the answer to that is clearly Dogs are more fun. Click the image for a full size version.

That’s right, no one calls anyone anymore. They text. Why would you want to hold an uncomfortable piece of electronics next to your cheek for several minutes when you can type a few words back in forth and reply at your leisure. That’s why I text. Though it may also have something to do with me being a bit anti-social so I never liked being on the phone anyways, but that is another story.

According to an article in the New York Times, in 2009 for the first time in the United States, more data has been used for text messaging, email, and internet use than for voice data.

When people do talk on their phones, their conversations are shorter; the average length of a local call was 1.81 minutes in 2009, compared with 2.27 minutes in 2008, according to CTIA. For some, the unused voice minutes mount up.

“I have thousands of rollover minutes,” said Zach Frechette, 28, editor of Good magazine in Los Angeles, who explained that he dialed only when he needed to get in touch with someone instantly, and limited those calls to 30 seconds. “I downgraded to the lowest available minute plan, which I’m not even getting close to using.”
