Good for Iran! I see all this coverage (mostly on Sullivan's blog, the one who seems to be best covering it) of the Iranians protesting the election results and it really makes me excited. Their lives are in danger and they still are taking it to the streets. That election was more rigged than Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings. I knew Ahminajeadhfsidfhad was an asshole, but now he took it to a new level. I hope they run that little man out of town.

It makes me wonder though, would we do that in our country? Would we risk our lives to stand up for liberty and freedom? We have done it in the past (1776 in the orginal 13, 1836 in Texas, and even the misguided 1861 Southern attempt), but would we risk it all again? I don't know if we would. The election of 2000 was a bit dubious, and nobody seemed concerned. Minnesota still doesn't have a senator, but no protestors there. Polls showed that a great majority of Californians supported same sex marriage, but those supporters didn't show up on election day. Not to sound like a TV pundit, but Americans have had liberty and prosperity for so long, we really do take it for granted. This is why it is so inspiring to see people march in the streets in Iran despite beatdowns by riot police, random arrests, and attacks by crazed militias.

I think the people wincing is my favorite part.
