Fragmented Thoughts Headline 2
Right at this very moment while I write this article I could hear the rumbling of clouds. Summer has officially ended just a couple of days ago.
At least 24 people -- including nine children -- were killed when a massive tornado struck an area outside Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon, officials said. (Read at CNN latest Updates)
Gov. Mary Fallin said the tornado was "one of (the) most horrific storms and disasters that this state has ever faced." Oklahoma "will get through this. ... We will overcome. We will rebuild. We will regain our strength," she said.

Marchers in over 400 cities protest Monsanto
The March Against Monsanto movement began when founder and organizer Tami Canal created a Facebook page on Feb. 28 calling for a rally against the company’s practices.
“If I had gotten 3,000 people to join me, I would have considered that a success,” she said Saturday. Instead, she said an “incredible” number of people responded to her message and turned out to rally.
“It was empowering and inspiring to see so many people, from different walks of life, put aside their differences and come together today,” Canal said. The group plans to harness the success of the event to continue its anti-GMO cause.
“We will continue until Monsanto complies with consumer demand. They are poisoning our children, poisoning our planet,” she said. “If we don’t act, who’s going to?”
"He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor." ―Proverb 14:31

The Final Episode of Voltes V
Episode 40: The Liberation
As little boys and girls during the 70's we were disappointed when Late President Ferdinand Marcos banned Voltes V. The explanation I get from my parents were very simple it was "bad influence" for young minds.
In the interview, Senator Marcos said he understood that a cartoon like Voltes V would have been something important to kids “but it was actually the parents that worried about the violence that they were afraid might influence their children in a negative way.”
“There was a lot of private lobbying by all kinds of groups, parents-groups, and so I guess my father saw it prudent to acquiesce to their demands on an issue that was and still is not well understood,” he said.
Marcos said that up to this day, the effect of violence “as experienced vicariously by children through TV or video games is still a subject that remains contentious not only here but in other countries as well.”

But some says Marcos paranoia arises from the final episode itself which never reach our TV set. The finale of Voltes V saw the heroes rising up and overthrowing an oppressive government.
It just goes to show the totalitarian mindset of Marcos but for me personally he is still the best president our country ever had, no matter what they said. Anyway, that's enough for the introduction...Let's sing together our anthem when we were little kids.
