wow.......very moving, thanks for posting.

In my early 20's while living in my 1st apartment, I befriended an Iranian couple w/ a beautiful little girl by the name of Neda. The couple has left Iran to find a better way of life here. I guess they made the right decision. Having the revolution televised just has to be a real bee in the bonnet of that suppressive regime'.

Only reason she's famous or some other word i'm looking for is she caught a bullet and it was filmed there's so many other people that do the same thing with no video around.

Exactly. But "out of sight, out of mind" is how far too many people in this world operate. It's one thing to hear about a girl dying in the street for no reason, but it's quite another to watch it happen with full sound and in living color.

It's like dropping bombs. It's easy to press a button from 2,000 feet and watch the bright light erupt far, far below. But it's hard to actually watch men, women and children bleed out in the streets.

I don't know I have no problem seeing the things people do other people nothing surprises or shocks me.
Now animals being hurt really bother me but humans not at all.
