As humanists we are saddened and enraged by humanity's shortcomings: in this case, the abject and repugnant assassination of a young woman.
What makes Neda so special are the circumstances of her death. Random and cruel, her execution goes against all basic human instincts and those values our species takes pride in defending.
This collective of artists and musicians is reacting appropriately to this assault and affront to all that is sacred in existence : life, freedom, dignity and respect.

So i added this video really early this weekend (as I'm sure others did) but it's since been blocked. Does current just combine choice stories or how does this work? because it seems like a lot of people's contributions get 'taken' by the staff.

People forget about this thing called the civil rights movement really fast.
I only know because im taking a class on it.
Hasn't been that long that people died because they couldn't vote. (even though it was constitutionally legal it was not enforced federally).
The rules have changed with technology. (can't suppress now)
When it comes to things like this; its for the better. - 2 years ago

Just because you're just learning about it doesn't mean everyone else forgot. Just sayin'

This is perhaps the most disturbing thing I have ever seen on the Internet. Certainly, on Current. My heart goes out to the Iranian people, and reminds me ever so much about how lucky we are here in the U.S. - even with all the problems we do have ...

Our problems are far worse... These Iranian people aren't complacent, Blind and cowardly! They are willing to stand up against their government! Unlike their neighbors to the west. When Bush stole the election... we just took it in the ass and whined a little bit. many Americans are blind and Naive, and I believe we are in a far worse state of affairs. Because the Iranian people clearly see the injustice, don't deny it and act on that for the pursuit of justice and transparency, Americans on the other hand just sit on their rears whilst getting spoon fed filtered news!
America has programed paradigms that blind and weaken us severely....

i am happy to see that this story is going "viral". i have not been affected by a video like the "neda" one in quite some time. it truly is one of the saddest things i have ever seen.
yesterday i was playing pool and i asked a buddy to check it out. when i warned him that it contained some unsettling imagery he said, "no, i'm not into that." and he sounded a little pissed that i even brought it up. this would be all fine and good if he didn't extol the virtues of 'no country for old men' and 'there will be blood' a week earlier. i felt like telling him that for every staged death a person sees in a movie they should be required to view an actual death. i truly feel that way.

With all these deaths there's no turning back for these people... It be a shame for everyone if people were forced to go back to their homes and ignore the fact that people died because of an election.
