America and Anti Americanism

A simple glance at the news today and we will be able to hear and see that the United States is incereasingly becoming a major pain in the butt for many nations. It ravaged Vietnam, Afghanistan, then Iraq...notice the similarities between the three countries that i just mentioned? All of them were attacked for reasons that only seemed to be understood by the power elite in washington but not justified to the general public, or else justified with shabby intelligence reports that seemed to pull the wool over most Americans.
To top it all off, the average American on the street doesn't even know where these countries are! I thank Jay Leno for that interesting nugget of info
Whatever happened to the principles that Amerca has stood for during the days of the Founding Fathers notably Abe Lincoln himself, the person the abolished slavery despite great opposition from everyone.
Now the President of the United States seems to me to be a slug of a man, whose intelligence is doubtful at best coupled with big multinational corporation ties that totally destroy his credibility and impartiality.
What were the Americans thinking when they faced the ballot box?
Apparently they were not thinking at all...

GOOD LUCK IN THE EXAMS EVERYONE!!

Life can be fun sometimes you know, i just got off the phone with one of the school debate participants and it was gratifying to know that these people still seem to remember me even after so long. Its scary sometimes when you hear that you have caused so much change in their perceptions on life and issues that they had to rethink everything that has been thought to them over the last two to three years. One person can in fact make a huge impact upon the individuals around him and a truly responsible person takes the opportunity and gives the best to everyone, but a person who does not realise his role in society and in his immediate circle of friends is a potentially destructive force.
Physics applies here as well. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" Every thing you do has its equal reaction in the person you effect and has the opposite reaction on you. It takes a very responsible and upright person to use that power responsibly.
Who's life have you changed today? and was it for the better?

hello world...i guess that putting together a functioning blog is someting which requires a lot of time connected to a steady source of connectivity to the Net, someting which i unfortunately do not have at the moment. can't wait to get myself my own home and IKEA furnishings so that me and my second girlfriend, my desktop comp, will be able to surf the information highway in peace. By the way, did i mention that i have decided to name my computer Olga? Fitting name i guess, its a big thing with no fancy frills, but its real power lies within. Olga indeed :-)
Ever had the feeling that you could do so much more with your life if only you could get off your rump and start doing things? A lot of people seem to have the impression that i don't work hard enough for the important things in life. I think that is true to a certain extent, but i can't help it, i just don't feel passion for those "important things" I hate academia...i prefer practical, hands on jobs...
oh well..cest la vie...grin and bear it.
