Thank you Premier Exhibitions, for putting on quite the show… and by quite the show I mean a Disneyland spectacular of commercialism and corporate greed.

Saving YouTube Videos I posted this in the last thread, but some might find it useful for saving youtube videos, though youtube seems pretty cool allowing violent videos to stay posted for documentation. Enter this code into your favorite text editor and save as whatever.html javascript:if%20(document.getElementById(’download-youtube-video’)==null%20&&% 20 !!(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)))%20{ var%20yt_mp4_path=’http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt=18&video_id=’+swfArgs[’v ideo_id’]+’&t=’+swfArgs[’t'];%20var%20div_embed=document.getElementById(’watch-e mbed-div’);if(div_embed){var%20div_download=document.createElement(’div’);div_do wnload.innerHTML=’ %20Download%20as%20MP4%20′+%20%20((navigator.userAgent.indexOf(’Safari’)!=-1)?’ (control-click%20and%20 select%20Download%20linked%20file%20as)’:(’(right-click%20and%20select%20Save…

Someday, when the history of this revolution is written, I hope I can learn the names of these people. These aren’t soldiers dying. These aren’t criminals, maniacs, villains or bad people dying. These are children. -Karin17atgmaildotcom 1:26 PM ET — Attacking the defenseless. What is so shocking about many of these videos is that the…

I come into my room and close my eyes for a while…
