Warning: This video has a lot of blood
Since the current upheaval has happened in Iran, I've been following what's been happening, and helping in any small way I can. By passing on information to Americans, setting my Twitter settings to show that I'm in Tehran, and by making an acquaintance in Tehran. I've been following his Tweets, but it just makes it more personal. I won't give out his name, considering, but I hope to meet him someday. More importantly, I hope he survives. He's a human rights activist there. Something that I'm sure has made him marked already. He is someone who is actually physically fighting for his right to vote, something I took for granted up until the 2000 election (wonder what changed my mind there). I have an appreciation for that and him that I cannot begin to put into words. Remember that during the next election. There are those who would die to do what we may or may not do every two years.
