WORST CONGRESS EVER?

Why does this Congress seem intent on turning our Country into China? If you care at all about freedom of speech, and our Bill of Rights in general you too should be utterly appalled by the recent legislation that has just passed which allows the government the right to arrest and detain people indefinitely, and also the legislation they keep trying to pass... I'm talking about the IP bill and SOPA, which if passed would most likely hugely cripple our freedom of internet use and FREEDOM OF SPEECH... so with the combined power of these HORRIBLE IDEAS... we take a leap towards 1984... and I'm not talking about the year... actually it would be more like a leap back in time to OLIGARCHY... I don't think most people realize the serious nature of these things. Big Companies may benefit in the short term when they get the right to kill small companies that parody their products, etc. BUT IN THE LONG RUN... if this type of legislation becomes the norm... WE ALL LOSE... So please right your Congressman. Use the FREEDOM OF SPEECH WE STILL POSSESS TO KEEP THIS FREEDOM ALIVE AND WELL FOR EVERYONE... b/c if EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE IT... NOBODY DOES.

I'm sorry for the rant, here, but this is just the STUPIDEST, MOST ATROCIOUS THING I've seen in such a long time...

What's in a name? Meepos

Copyright on things that are common apart, but never before have been used together?

That is my little weird thing here... I have created these creatures called "Meepos" that are called so because they make sounds like "meep." They are round and furry with big eyes and come in a variety of bright colors. They live on the planet from my book "The Quest for the Emerald Leaf," the name of the planet is "Zemondraya."

My question is... there is apparently a character called "Meepo" who is a lizard-man of some sort.

Of course there are like a million things that look like a round thing with two big eyes.

And other creatures/characters say "meep."

But when you put it all together with the new things I've added... that's enough to make it different, right?
I hope so. So I'm putting this out there so that people will know what "Meepos" are, and so they know what they are not. "Meepos" are "rights reserved" by White Eye Books Co., est. 2009.

Some Old Poems... :)

Here are a couple poems I wrote about one of my characters, The "Angel" of Virtue... hope you guys enjoy them! :)

                                                Despite the Dark

Despite the dark,

The light eyes stirred again.

The wings flexed,

But the heavy head was still.

The eyes were clouded by years of Repression.

Still,

The hands rose!

The arms and legs pulled the chains in defiance!

But the chains held fast.

The chains which stayed the restless body of Virtue.

The dark remained,

The dark of the Lie.

The Lie dulled the mind.

The Lie quelled the light,

Made the cloud of hair thicker,

Made the chains heavier,

Made the child forget the feeling of hope,

Made the Virtue which remained trapped deep within,

Fade.

The eyes lost their light,

The wings lost their flight,

Virtue had lost the fight.

For the child no longer wanted to see.

The transition to the willing of Vice was complete.

And those who made the lie for their benefit,

Laughed as they watched Virtue cry.

And the child became as a Lie-Maker.

Happily he spread the lie.

He thought the lie was good.

He did not see

The Lie could only bring

More Lies

WITH GIDDY CHEERS

Virtue Dies?

By, EGO

                                                            Second Verse

Deep silent fog rolls

Purple through the soft grass,

In the fading glimmering light

Of a shadow not yet passed.

The eyes are open,

But they see not what is before them,

They see what the world is

Stripped of the fog,

Cleared of the blinding sight

Of time and tide.

Open,

Beating,

Wondering,

The heart pounds to escape.

The eyes fix on a point,

Far away,

Approaching like a bird returning to nest.

The feathers spread out,

Springing to action

Just as darkness consumes the sky,

The lights pierce through,

Not harsh burning light,

But soft gentle light,

The light and warmth of a safe place

During a harsh snowstorm.

Pok'emon Etiquette

Why can't anybody trouble themselves to learn to pronounce words correctly? Why do people over age 25 think that Pok'emon is pronounced any number of ways ranging from the mildly offense Pokey-mon to the mind-numbingly bad Pokey-mans... seriously!!! GET WITH THE TIMES!!!

Hermain Cain recently quoted a song from the movie "Pok'emon 2000," and Jon Stewart pronounces it Pokey-mon, and also mixes up this movie with "Pok'emon the First Movie," and calls both "The Pok'emon Movie," which does not exist.

When will adults STOP SAYING POKEY-MON?! Seriously people... have some respect for the fanbase... they are now the voters... :)

More importantly, though, adults, specifically the adults in Congress proposing the idiotic SOPA and IP protection bills DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INTERNET... OMG!!!

I think we have officially come to the point where most of the "old people" in our country are SO FAR BEHIND THE TIMES it is more than just an annoyance... we are now within a new period where THEY ARE A LEGITIMATE DANGER TO THE WORLD ECONOMY. How did this happen?

So go out and tell your grandparents how important a FREE INTERNET is, and get EVERYONE YOU CAN to TELL CONGRESS TO GET THE HELL AWAY FROM OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION OVER THE INTERNET!!!

Also... it is pronounced, PO-KAY-MON... as derived from the "root words" "pocket" and "monsters" :)
