I generally will not reblog any image if the poster does not credit the artist or photographer. And I refuse to follow those that are generally too lazy or selfish to give credit.

It’s time to face it, America has an alcohol problem. If there is anything that recent events have shown us, it’s that we can no longer be trusted with the unfettered right to consume it. It’s got to stop. Innocent people are dying. Something must be done.
Every year, roughly 88,000 Americans die from alcohol-related causes, making it one of the leading causes of death in the United States. These deaths include children and others who were completely innocent of any wrongdoing. But by the selfish actions of some, these blameless people tragically lost their lives. How many people have to die in order for us to say “enough is enough”?
The time has come for us to adopt common-sense policies that will help curb alcohol consumption and keep us all safe.
There are several policy changes that would make Americans safer, including, but not limited to, the following:
Institute extensive background checks on anyone who buys alcohol
Limit the size of beer mugs to 8 ounces; limit shot glass capacity to a teaspoon
Create a national alcohol registry to track alcohol containers and consumers
Create harsher punishments for those who consume too much alcohol or are in possession of unregistered alcohol
Ban and confiscate wide-mouth cans, beer-guzzler helmets, growlers, and other assault containers that allow rapid alcohol consumption
Ban sealed alcohol containers larger than one gallon such as kegs
Create a disincentive for citizens to purchase alcohol by raising taxes on alcohol consumption accessories such as mugs, bottle openers, cork screws, alcohol paraphernalia, and wine glasses
Eliminate the “House Party Loophole” in order to prevent underage people from consuming alcohol
Eliminate the “Wine Tasting Loophole” that allows people to consume alcohol without undergoing a proper background check
Pass an ordinance requiring that all alcohol consumers have biometric locking liquor cabinets in their homes
Hold supermarkets, package stores, and other alcohol retailers responsible for the future criminal actions of their patrons
Publicize the names and addresses of all those who purchase alcohol in order to alert the public to the potential danger
Institute a 3-day waiting period to buy alcohol
Require that everyone who purchases or consumes alcohol or alcohol-related products take an 8-hour course on the dangers of alcohol and how to consume it responsibly
Require that everyone who purchases or consumes alcohol or alcohol-related products obtain a license
Make all college campuses “alcohol free zones”
As you can see, it’s not necessarily imperative that we confiscate or ban alcohol outright, but it is time for some common sense alcohol control. It just makes sense. And if it saves just one life, it will have been worth it.
Congress has a duty to act now! And if Congress won’t act, the President should take executive action to address this crisis…for the sake of the children!
With your phone, photograph the portraits of anonymous people on museum walls, print them, and move them to streets walls. No one really watch them in their frames. Small. Secondary. Forgotten. Definitely anonymous. Almost dead.
We bring them back to life in the new world. Where they now have all the time to watch us. Outings is a world participative project. Initiated by Julien de Casabianca, french artist, filmmaker and visual artist. Every street artist in their own town can go to their museum, take pictures of portraits with their phone and set them free.
David Uzochukwu (previously featured) started photography at a young age, picking up a camera at only twelve years old. Now, at sixteen, this self-taught Belgium-based photographer boasts a portfolio full of surreal worlds and conceptual stories.
