linkin park video

so i have seen the linkin park "what ive done" video before but i just saw a new version and man it really got to me. here is a link to youtube watch it and tell me how you feel after k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsmoXP4X_qY
i like music but after we started a family my music taste definitely changed. i used to like harder stuff like linkin park staind POD even naughty rap lol but now i really watch what i listen to and say because i dont want my kids saying some of that stuff! so i havent really paid attention to linkin park especially their videos but when dakota saw this he had to show me. i watched and i had so many mixed feelings go through me; pain, sadness, devastation, shock, fury, disgust, then the reality hit that it was all TRUE! the clips that it shows are real it is stuff that is going on in our world every day and to me it is heart wrenching! there are some amazing ones too like the polar bear and the ultrasound and the baby but seeing the clips of children holding guns, hitler and the people with their arms stretched up and out in front of them to "hiel" to him, and the few of the twin towers it just reminded me of all of the devastation we have seen and learned about. what really kills me is to think about the other side and people that were there supporting these terrible acts and believing in the things that hitler or sadam or osama were saying. it makes me wonder if in a few years we will be thinking the same thing about obama? instead of jews is it going to be all Christians?
if you watch it you can pick up the irony in each set of clips the beginning there is a sign that says eat then a guy stuffing a sandwich into his face, a girl measuring her waist then a man unwillingly wasting away. we diet or binge while they starve.
im not trying to be mean or hurtful or make you think the way i do i just want to share this with you. it hurts me to see these things and i think i personally really needed to see this right now to fully appreciate what i have. simple things that i take for granted every day our home, car, food, income and especially the freedom we have to choose our religion and have our beliefs in god and worship the way we believe to be true. i do love my heavenly father very much and i hope that i along with my husband and children could stand up for what we believe even if it means persecution.
anyways just some thoughts i wanted to share comment or email me let me know how it made you feel i want to hear!
