Get up Stand up

I thought I'll take a few days to cool my head as the presidential campaign got a bit heated and crazy. I don't want to come off as some deranged liberal that went on a rant on the McCain-Palin ticket. But can you blame me??? The drama queen crown officially goes to John McCain for the charade he pulled the past 2 days. And Sarah Palin's submissive persona while visiting United Nations and world leaders, and her inept performance being interviewed by Katie Couric on CBS are beyond believable. In the unfortunate event of their being elected into the White House, we should be afraid! Be really afraid!

I heard a piece from Fresh Air yesterday - an interview of author Hooman Majd and his new book "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ: The Paradox of Modern Iran". Near the end, Terry asked the author, who used to be a record producer, which artist/album he helped produced has the biggest popularity among the younger generation in Iran. Of course, Bob Marley! So the song "Get up Stand up" plays as the conversation fades out.

Ever since, the song has stucked in my head. I went to bed last night thinking and thinking about the song. Well, here is my solution to my problem. Act NOW!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
