Barack Obama and his Turban



Come on now does it really matter that senator obama had made a decision to immerse himself in the culture of the host country? It is not to say he is a fundamentalist but it is to say that he is better able to relate to a set of diverse cultural backgrounds. That he is able to take the time to not force his culture on others but instead grasp the culture of the host family. I do not think it will make a difference in his campaign ... do you have another view? Comment - lets hear em.

Economic Stimulus or Commercial Ploy

An economic stimulus package or at least that is what is being called. Let us take a close look at it and decide if it is truly in existence for the purpose of bettering the tattered economic lookout or making it worst.




First consider the fact that the possibilities exist. and from the outset all looks lfine. The general idea, is to give the poor a little more to spend even though they are already spending to much, which is why they are in the situation in the first place.




Ideally, everyone files there taxes, IRS is happy, and you get a little extra come May, to spend how you wish. Really now, to basically put back through the economy, based on the fact that in these days we are so much more reliant on the grocery stores. Pre Packaged foods, and very little if anything you actually grew yourself. So reliant in fact, that if all the stores closed many would have no idea what to do and will probably starve and die. Bitching and moaning the whole way, pointing there finger at everyone else. The government, the stores, the conspiracy that supposedly exists in there mind.




Reality Check! There was a time not so long ago where more people were much more self reliant. A time in life whereby they actually grew there own produce. Amazing isn't it, there are still some who try to remain in the old ways. Convenience though, is so alluring, often they will start with only one diversion. One item bought at the local grocery store. How easy, How simple, I give them money I have the product. I cannot say what goes through there mind at that point but my guess is they start realizing that perhaps the convenience is not bad. We can have so much time with the family, would be no need to work the fields to grow the produce. The time regained, truly nice, until they start to put that into action. The realization becomes apparent, in order to enjoy this wonderful convenience requires money. No longer can you trade livestock for food. No you need to make money, how? You guessed it join the masses in the job market. Try to survive and the best of luck to you. Thanks for stimulating the economy alright.




Really what is this package then, one more thing to control the masses. To get the money that really has no value back. Claiming the great recovery we did it. To bad those who once knew they could work the land. Forget about it, now you work, get all the modern day conveniences you can't afford. Fun times indeed. Welcome to the rat race.




We shall see where it will go ... keep that in mind though, there is still ways to be self reliant, even in the smallest things. Build on them and grow, or work until you die and hopes that maybe you will be able to take care of the family you rarely see. And those holidays, perhaps with all this working you need to do now. The next time you see relatives, in an open casket.

We shall see.

2008 a year of Change?

Considering;
Either we are going to have our first black president or our first female, neither one of which has ever happened. Truly 2008 is going to be a year of change of a truly pivotal time in history,this particular year as a result of events in the five years past.

Some examples follow
Seven years it has been since the events of 911 changed the world, for better or worst that is a decision you need to make. Three years since Hurricane Katrina hit and decimated New Orleans, known for Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday. After Katrina little remained of this famous town, and that was only three years ago which then brings us to now.

What is it about 2008, that makes it such a time for change? Is there truly an answer? It is hard to say, when I thought about it though I found it quite intriguing. After 30 minutes of meditation and the time after of thought. I wondered, and I started to write, for a moment sleep was on my mind and now once I have started it is more difficult to stop when you are inspired. Though I must say sleep is a fine idea. For now will start with this and will continue later.
