We live in a very unique country when compared to others around the world. Every morning before I start my day I like to take a quick look at the headlines.
According to Yahoo here are some of the top Headlines

For the US:
Chipotle Mexican Grill Caught in Immigration scandal
Tenn. GOP lawmaker credits Hooters for success
Ranchers hope critters can weather subzero temps
NY Rep. Lee resigns after shirtless photo on Craigslist
My favorite
South Carolina may move against prison Facebook users
Meanwhile around the globe:
Egypt’s government resists mounting pressure for change
India, Pakistan say peace talks to resume
Somali pirates capture supertanker, $150M of oil
S. Sudan rebels break ceasefire, 16 dead
Suicide bomber kills Afghan district chief
At the beginning of the week our news was filled with the results of the Super Bowl and the commercials that were played. Around the world people were counting the amount of injured and dead from a day of protesting. No wonder so many people are either trying to come across the big ocean to the land of the free or fight for their own freedom. Our prisoners (the people who supposedly have lost their freedom privileges) are on Facebook, while people around the world are fighting for their basic rights as humans.
Just a little something to think about the next time you get on Facebook and whine to your 200 so called “Friends” that you are out of your favorite cereal. Which makes me wonder what our postings on Facebook would be like compared to someone in another part of the world.

Maybe:
USA
Woke up this morning looked out my window and prayed, ate breakfast, went to work.

Was glad I woke up alive this morning, hope no one saw me pray, now to look for food and hope my car doesn’t blow up to kill those around it.

England
Woke up this morning thinking about THE wedding!
