After being censored by Facebook, I have posted the following article to an OPEN public press medium here at Urban Vancouver.
Being more interested in the US election far more than the local Canadian race, I've been watching the debates and keeping track of who says what during the race and by far, Obama must win this election. I'm saying this not for the Americans that read this post, but for those that are around the world. To have a leader such as McCain in power would represent a complete failure of the trust we place in true poetic power. To see a man who paints Obama with the same brush as the real terrorists of the world causes shame and dishonor.
We, as in the world, should not have gone to Iraq. There was no WMD, yet the idiots of the republican party, and those who blindly follow their lies and deceit, which they eagerly paraded around their purchased and dictated media influences as protecting democracy, are too blind to see that it was wrong in the first place.

YOUNG CONDO SELLER INSPIRED TO GIVE 10% OF HIS REAL ESTATE PROFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT!
Nathaniel Brown, a young 25-year old condo owner in Kitsilano has decided that he wants to make a difference and help the environment. But he doesn’t want to just make a small difference; He is donating a full 10% of the profits he will be receiving on the sale of his condo (which should amount to $15,000) to local environmental groups.
This action was inspired when Nathaniel came across Vancouver's "Green" Realtor Sayo Nickerson of ReMax Real Estate Services who currently donates 10% of her net revenues from real estate sales to three local environmental groups. "I care about the environment and want to make a difference too" says Brown. "Seeing how Sayo does it showed me I could do the same!"
Brown’s property is a penthouse 2 bedroom 2-bathroom suite currently listed at $524,900. The first Open Houses will be this weekend on Saturday from 1-3 pm and Sunday from 2:30 - 4:30 pm. Come have a look and enjoy complimentary snacks at 401-1990 Dunbar St. (at the corner of West 4th Ave.)
