Food Issues

Well there is this food crisis. And I’m not surprised just in light of the fact that it seems like all the media wants to do is force people to live in fear of the "what might happen" kind of idea. Now I don’t understand what they are going to do for bio fuels now that corn can no longer be used to produce these alternate fuel sources. It just seems like one panic leads to another in this country. First Global Warming, (climate change when its cold outside) Now this food crisis. All that means is plant more foods. Its not our job to feed China so the way I see it we need to just to worry about our own hides when it comes to our food. Now if people in china needed our military that would be a little different story. Sometimes people cannot fight for themselves but they sure can farm for themselves. Americans have taken to much of the physical labor for the poor. Just give them the seeds and let them decide how badly they want the food. That’s how America has to do it. Why should we do all the work while they just sit there and reap all the benefits. Cough …cough… welfare.

Burma

Well Burma has had a long, long turn for the worst when it comes to their luck. Their freedoms are stripped from them as human beings from the leaders of the military that have taken over the region and are running it currently. So is it any surprise that the people called for these hearings against the military leadership in Burma once the disasters had struck. The answer is no! of course not it is tradition in Burma or any Asian culture for that matter they are very superstitious like many cultures were way back when they believed that the series of misfortunes that they were undergoing was a response from the gods, or god depending on the culture and what they believed. But at the same time the people could be using this as an excuse to remove some suppressive leadership. Couldn’t that be a possibility? But to be one hundred percent honest every time I hear anything about Burma I always think of Rambo IV. Its takes place in Burma and shows what the people are actually going through. And yes it is very unfortunate that the natural disaster hit the area but sometimes those things happen.

Lance Armstrong

I chose Lance Armstrong as the most influential person that time could muster up. Not only is he working hard to help aid those in need who have been affected by cancer but he is also a motivating story in and of himself. He had cancer three times lost one of his very precious jewels and still kept fighting back. Not only did he beat cancer he beat out the competition in a number of bike races: Most noticably the Tour De France, which is said to be the most grueling race on the planet. Through his amazing recovery and his inspiring story Lance Armstrong has greatly inspired many (not just those with cancer) to overcome the obstacles that they feel they just cant get past. And his help in cancer research and giving back to those who have given back so much is yet again inspiring. I cannot think of a better word than that. The mans remarkable story and self sacrifice has helped to push people beyond what most would consider a motivating fact to live and now a motivating factor to live and succeed. If I had one word to describe Lance Armstrong it would be just that: Inspiring.

Thrift Savings PLan (TSP)

Well I don’t know much about economics but I do know that this 401-k sounds like a good idea. This will open up opportunities for anyone to combat terrorism in the world without having to carry a gun. Granted that guns will still be needed to physically fight those people this allows people to cut off business that is doing business with terrorist organizations. In hopes that the removal of funding for these people will smother them and force them to give up their arms. Unfortunatley winning this war will have to come from two fronts one of which being that they will have to choke them out financially, but they will find other ways to get their guns and other supplies. And the other will have to be through physically fighting the War on Terror. We have to scare them. While they are losing money and guns they will still be fighting against the US of A and that wont mix together very well. They will still be losing men and decreasing in numbers while having little to no money to pay for more men or more supplies, thus they will be forced to lay down their arms so the people of the nation that is run by terrorists will soon enough be run by the citizens. And everybody wins.

Diamonds are Forever

These people are insane they don’t care who lives or who dies they’re whole existence is centered around making money. But through the suffering of others do they make their money. Not only is it cheap labor they also incite war in the regions that they decide to mine. Except in Botswana where the mining company led all its 1.9 million people out of poverty. Through the mine the nations leaders have been able to return some of the profits to the people of that nation. In building roads and other developments. De Beers ( a mining company.) has worked hand in hand with the nation of Botswana in a 50-50 partnership. That way everybody wins. But this is just one example of an honest mining company. What about the other nations of Africa that rape the soil for all that it is worth and then move on leaving a confused people to fight over their differences. Once the mining company leaves the more forceful group will force others to work the mines because they think that is their only source of income. Because it is all they have known. There needs to be more honest companies out their that are willing to give back to their workers.

Ready or Not

Though the Iraqi troops are getting better tactically and are increasing in numbers…some think that they are ready while leading military officials do not. They like to sleep in lot miss formations. They are basically lethal machines with no discipline. They know how to conduct themselves and have been very successful thus far but are not nearly ready to fight, defend, and protect their own country yet. Some say that it will take a couple of years. So some people think that the US pulling out of Iraq so soon will cause more problems than it will fix. If that happens we will be looking at another massacre as ended Vietnam when the US forces left. That would look bad on the US and in turn we would catch more ridicule from the same people who are calling for this retreat from the nation. Until the nation can rightfully and effectively defend their country from the threat of evil being harbored in the nation. Once they begin to get up on time learn how to do jumping jacks and anything of that nature maybe … maybe they will be ready to go off by themselves and fight for themselves but as of now its too soon to send them off to the wolves.

Show Us Our Money

First off it’s ridiculous that the old lady was getting the shaft for the same amount of work and kind of work. And for any other woman for that matter if they have the same education, same amount of hours, same job experiences, same training and anything of the like they should be getting paid the same wage as a man. I don’t know why jobs pay women less but I think that it is ridiculous. Now on a side note the company taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court is a little excessive. They should have just admitted that they were wrong and paid her, the dues that they gypped her out of and moved on from there. They found that all of these actions went against the civil rights act and in turn cost them more money. If they would have followed the law to begin with than this whole situation could have been avoided. However waiting until she was 70 was kind of pointless she is approaching the end of her years its not like she’ll go skydiving with her court winnings. But oh well I guess a point needed to be made . and for the sake of all good left in this world why cant women earn equal pay?
