For this mother.

She knew there was a problem and created a plan that worked. It’s that simple.

Elian Gonzalez joins Cuba’s Youth Communists

unqualifiedopinion — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:08:16 +0000

CNN reports that Elian Gonzalez has joined the Youth Communists party of Cuba. The most stunning quote in the article:

Elian Gonzalez said he will never let down ex-President Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro, according to the Communist youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde.

Cuba has extreme, future potential in the word of tourism, yet are obviously sticking to their communist ways. The fact that they are willing to take a Cuba and US known icon, brainwash him into following their system, then publicize him to build national pride… Sounds familiar. I guess they’re more American than we realize.

As previous posts have shown, I like to highlight ridiculous news articles that come up on major news channels.

Here.

Weather and global catastrophes.

unqualifiedopinion — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:46:39 +0000

Floods in the northern Midwest US. Heat-waves in the eastern US. Flood in China. Torrential down pours a few months ago in China. Earthquakes everywhere affecting over 1 billion people in the past 3 months. Gas prices being pressed higher from the threat of an active hurricane season. And to top all this off: THE BEES! Where are they going?

Is this a result of global warming/human activity? Or have weather tantrums been a regular occurrence, yet with up-to-date news services, it feels like the world is ending. If anyone has insight or a link to a story on this, please feel free to share. Open for discussion.

Happy Father’s Day.

PS. Funny CNN article: Bicyclist ride naked to make point I hope they don’t make too many points… Sorry, just too easy.

Humorous.

Race is definitely an issue

Link.

It’s still a let down to know that black conservatives “might” side with black liberals just because of color. It’s also sad to see white liberals who won’t vote for Obama because he is black.

The obvious: Racism still exists; whether in a pro or con way. If it is addressed it is only made more obvious. I have no idea how to go about the problem; possibly it’s the problem that has no fix. Pretty sad and disappointing.

I hope that if you’re black you don’t vote for Obama because he has the same skin color. You would be no better than the white, conservative thatloads his shotgun every time a “Vote for Obama” commercial runs on TV. Please learn your candidates deeper than their skin color. Especially in this election.
