In spite of the corporate media calling the primary elections THERE STILL IS VOTING TODAY.... SOO, IF YOU ARE IN A PRIMARY STATE GO OUT AND VOTE TODAY... IF NOTHING ELSE YOUR VOTE WILL Send A MESSAGE..... DON'T ALLOW MANIPULATION OF THE VOTE! Remember there are those who do not have voting rights. Voting rights are sacred if you don't use them someday you may loose them, please vote.

I couldn't let the day pass without posting this here.
On this day in 1972 the first Star Trek convention was held and I think we can pretty much trace the birth of cosplay to that day, at least in the USA. And if you consider "Trekies" as cosplayers.
The organizers called it "Star Trek Lives" as the original show has been canceled 3 years prior.
They were hoping to get 500 fans but over 3000 showed up! Many in Trek costume ( not nearly as many as its become) but each successive trek con more and more showed up in costume.
SO: HAPPY BIRTHDAY COSPLAY :)

Tom Coughlin’s two Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants will be remembered fondly, but nothing is permanent in the NFL.

Serendipity! We have been talking recently about human rights- it turns out that today December 15 is the anniversary of the commencement of the US Bill of Rights. Revered here in the states and admired around the world. Rather than have me butcher them up here's a simple expkaination:
also take a look at FDRs four freedoms which he gave in a radio address just months before US entered WWII
Now Most importantly look at FDRs second bill of rights which have been denied us by the big old money interests and should be demanded by all Americans for our future security:
ok I'll get off my soap box now lol
shannonl5This is so great! It's really rare to see the bill of rights broken down like that but it's so important. It's the basis of our entire legal system and it's something we should always be vigilant about understanding and protecting. Thank you for sharing :D
nicolejbwow thank you for this! @shannonl5 this really breaks it down really well, and helps us defend what is right or wrong in the american system. I'm going to start backing up some of our political reasoning based off this. or at least using it as a framework for my opinions in the political world:)

in 1948 the UN declared a set of universal rights for all humans on the planet. you can read them here:

if you like.
we should all respect them and never let them be taken away.
not allowing them for any one negates them for all.
