News & Events - April 2007

I got part of the clue from this morning, but not all of it. The part about "Ann holds it down when some of us hit the road", I'm guessing means that he will be at a fort somewhere since she holds down the "fort" when Al Roker is "On the Road With Al Roker". I don't know what languages Clare speaks. If we could find that out, we could probably make an educated guess.

At Oxford University last week, the Oxford Union(the debating society) debated the motion, " This house regrets the founding of the United States of America".

Has anti-Americanism sentiment got to this stage?

I noticed that Democratic front runners are aware of such thinking, Clinton promising "....to get our country back in the standing it should be", Obama talking about rebranding America.

What do we have to do to stop future people from just going in some place and shooting at everyone they see? Is our government responsible for causing people to do this? Does our government help people enough? What do you think?

My roommate is from Egypt and swears that Israel is nuts, and always attacks first. Is this true? I always thought it was the other way around, but it could be our media's biased opinion.

Trade balance getting worse. China building up its military. Right now, I believe China could whoop us. We are at a very vulnerable time in the world. Economy going to hell. Jobs exported daily. Indians taking over medical professions. Chinese making all our stuff. Euro killing us. We are in a situation whereby we don't make anything and with the dollar collapsing, those cheap Chinese products are going to start becoming more expensive. Personal indebtedness in the United States becoming even worse. Bankruptcy on the rise. Gas $3.00 a gallon. Medical insurance doubling. New Orleans still a mess. Making enemies of the Mexicans. Mexicans all over the USA. Fraud in corporate America rampant. Mortgage industry collapsing. Stock market going up but will collapse as the dollar continues its decline. Nothing will save us. Greed has killed the US economy. It's propped up now only by more and more debt. We are on the verge of a recession. Does anyone else notice? Am I paranoid?

I was at work at the time. I was working in the data update department for a book publishing company and with that type of job everyone is allowed to wear headphones and listen to music because its nothing but typing all day. So because of that all of us in that department found out at the sometime and that something was very wrong. I will never forget the expressions on everyones face and the panic. I remember they closed the entire company for the rest of the day and sent everyone home. I had to drive a co-worker home and I remember when we were driving down the expressway we both was looking up at the sky in panic hoping we werent about to be bombed. We thought war had broke out in the states! I hope I never have to feel that way again, it was aweful :(

Recently there was an article in yahoo "Rahul Khanna campaigns to save elephants." this article raises a lot of concern for the welfare of elephants which I love and respect. But it is not enough if we just raise questions!! I think we need some solutions as well. How can I volunteer to help these majestic animals?? How can I contribute towards it?

Impeach George Bush. Many of them lead by, first and foremost, Rep. John P. Murtha, is talking about this on Face the Nation.

Come on, pull the trigger demoncrats.... Get your cards on the table. Time to put up or shut up.

If you were in Congress or the Senate, could you vote to impeach? Remember, lying is not a crime. The Clinton impeachment proved that.

The silence of other demoncrats is noticeable.

Does anyone else see the problem of blaming America on every ill in this world? People actually believe our government orchestrated 9-11. What a twisted view. There are many things wrong with conditions everywhere and nothing is perfect but at least in America we sleep under the blanket of freedom that protects us to voice our opinions no matter how twisted. At some point however people have to wake up and start voicing their disgust at people who just point fingers and hurl accusations with no merit. America is a good and decent country and living here is a privelage. Any thoughts? Pro America or con?
