I took this photo just outside of my office. It is Los Angeles City Hall, a place where city leaders who are elected into office make decisions that are supposed to take care of us. So why aren't they?
Recently I stumbled upon a Youtube video (2008) of a very articulate 12 year old girl giving a speech at a United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. If you haven't already seen this Youtube video, I urge you to watch it. This girl took these UN leaders to school! Her speech (or plea) was very impressive and more important, it was the truth!
Some might say . . . well that is just one speech and nothing has improved since she made it. But change just doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work, it takes commitment, it takes a great leader with an open mind and it definitely takes more than 4 years.
Let's keep it going 4 more years so we can create a world that 12 year olds all over the world can look forward to.

LA City Hall looks familiar -- get the feeling it appears in a lot of TV shows and movies... ;)
ReplyDeleteHi YTSL, yes it's on quite a few shows and movies. It's also apparently according to some shows and movies the City Hall or Court house in different states too. Ha, ha,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments. Have a great weekend.
I remember this city hall in Los Angeles ! We were there twice in the 90th. I agree with you on Obama, all Europeans do !
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina, Yay! Europeans Rock!
DeleteBrilliant post, Kathy! The world desperately needs four more years of Obama.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, yes! let's keep the roll and hard work going . . . 4 more years, 4 more years..... :) Thanks so much for your comments Sandra.
DeleteHi Kathy, a great take on the theme. Your city hall is a very beautiful building, love that blue sky too. Agree completely, four more years!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have time to get a pic for this week's PhotoHunt. Hope you had a great weekend!
Hi Annie, thanks so much for liking my City Hall. 4 more years would be so great! I actually had a bunch of City Hall pics that I took from another Photo group I joined on G+ so Gattina's theme for this week was perfect timing, and I just had to show some Obama love while I was at it. :)
DeleteHave a great week. I'm off sick today. :( I know I should be off the internet and resting, but I can't help myself. :)
