Be scared of burglary, but also be afraid of fires. Fires are known to happen despite our best precautions. Play safe. There are other ways to live life on the edge than not having ADT home security systems. Many of them are better, less expensive. Do your best to make sure your home never catches fire, but be prepared for the possibility that it might. When the bad news comes along, you want to inform the FDNY at the earliest. Let the professionals of the FDNY handle the bad news. Doctors operate, firefighters fight fire. And the sooner they can get to the scene, less the damage to your home. They can't show up unless they know.
ADT Home Security for "protection from theft, burglary and home invasion, fire and heat protection, carbon monoxide detection and protection, water/flood detection, and personal emergencies." ADT is number one in the business. Go with the best.
There are things I know, and there are things I don't know. A democracy movement is something I know. The Iranian diaspora in the west lives in the smog where if you are not white or black, you are a potential terrorist. I am not even Arab, but I have lost count of how many times I have had to go through the potential terrorist treatment by people in authority. At some point you have to go cynical. These are not people in pain from 9/11. These are racist people who intend to disrespect and exploit 9/11.
It is hard to argue democracy is the best form of government there is when racism exists in the most advanced of democracies.
It is hard for the diaspora to get organized in the face of racism and racist immigration laws and regimes. What's wrong with having a residency requirement for voting? If you have lived in New York City two years, you should be able to vote in the city elections.
The goal of the protests in Iran could not have been to redo the fraud election. Then all the mullah had to do in response was say no. The goal should have organically been shifted to end the regime itself. That shift would have been made possible by a vibrant and organized diaspora and budding political parties.
The king of Nepal issued a shoot at sight order during April 2006, but we still succeeded. (Shoot At Sight Order: Dead End For The King) The mullah's repression is not the reason the movement in Iran is failing. It is lack of leadership and vision. It is a lack of logistical help from the concerned global audience. Movements need money, message and organization.
These are tough economic times. The crime rates are up. Protect your homes. Get ADT Home Security.
The law enforcement people are your second layer of protection. ADT is your first layer. Stay safe in these turbulent times. Make a small investment now to prevent a big loss to you down the line. Get safe.
Tough economic times or not, New York City is a big city and big cities tend to be high crime areas regardless. Don't be sorry later, be safe now. Make a small investment in ADT.

At some level it makes me very happy to see what is happening in Iran. At another level, it makes my blood boil with anger at the waste I fear I might end up seeing by the time the storm is over. Because I witnessed the waste when the people in Burma similarly poured out into the streets. They were let down. For all their blood, toil and tears, they were let down. It is very hard to create a political storm like this one, but once it dies down without result, it does not come back for a long, long time.
What's white people got to do with it? You might ask. Many of them seem to be alert and on the right side of history. Many of them are tweeting on behalf of the people in the Tehran streets. Many have turned their Twitter avatars green in solidarity. How is that dumb? How is that white? How is that something to get angry about?
I am for nonviolence, but as I watched the Burma protests die down in 2007, one thought that I started having was what if the world were to bomb the dictator's artificial city deep in the woods where all his minions live and work? Would that boost the morale of the street protesters to hold on and keep lunging along?
After Benazir died, I asked, why did she not have a security apparatus befitting a head of state? The world never got Bin Laden, but Bin Laden got Benazir. What a shame. They wore her death like a trophy.
You have to feel sorry for the dumbness of the white people and their governments, and their media, and their NGOs, and their social media, and their masses. In a democracy the people are directly and indirectly responsible for all of them.
Dumb white people will think nothing about pouring a trillion dollars into a dumb war, trillions into a housing bubble even if that might bring them a mega recession, but when it comes down to pouring 10 million into a nonviolent movement for democracy somewhere, they will be like, oh no, we can't be interfering in other countries' internal matters.
A nonviolent movement like the one that is underway in Iran is science, it is not alchemy. It does not happen randomly and equally randomly go away. It can be brought about at will. It can be actively helped to reach a grand conclusion. Or it can be watched to death, all the street efforts in vain.
This is precisely the time for the governments of the world to speak up. Governments that talked down daily a country's regime that it suspected of having nuclear weapon ambitions are silent today. Whispers count for silence.
Powers that think nothing of giving 10 billion dollars to the Pakistani army to create three million refugees in a matter of weeks will not pour a billion into a mass movement that just might succeed in establishing a full-fledged democracy in the heart of the Arab world in a way that will make the dictators in Egypt and Saudi Arabia wet in their pants.
An election from scratch has been the starting demand, the minimal demand. But now the demand has to shift. The movement has to ask for the installation of an interim government that will hold elections to a constituent assembly within a year of taking power to give Iran a new constitution.
Everyone who is tweeting for Iran needs to chime in a dollar. Movements need money. They need money to pay for the medical costs of those injured in the streets. They need money to organize better. They need money to launch brand new political parties. You can create a large, national political party in a matter of months.
What Iran has to ask for is an interim government and a new constitution.
Why should white people be concerned about the fate of democracy in Iran? Because a total spread of democracy in the Arab world is the only way to conclude the War On Terror. There is no other way. And street protests are the best way to do it, the only way actually.
