Rants Ways

    The Darfur genocide is a discrace to everyone, from Darfur to America we all swore long ago that there would never be any more genocide weather it be because of national, ethnical, or religious differences yet its happening today. Arent us americans and other countries supose to help the people that arent being treated fairly and this is no different

    Over 400,000 darfurians have been killed by the army, militas, and criminals.2.5 million have fled there homes to live in refugee camps throughout Darfur set up by the UN and other charities in the U.S and also camps in Chad and the Central African Republic. The women are suffering even more, they may not have to fight but there getting rapped by not one but 30 men, now thats just wrong. One day your village can be a safe happy place while the next moment you could be on the run tring to find one of these camps while escaping your own government because your village has been burnt down. All this is caused because of the Arib leadership in there government which wants all the africans to be killed and out of there countrie and our government looks the other way because Darfurian leaders have been giving us little bits of info hear and there about Iran and the rest of the middle east. Instead of focusing on Iraq we should be helping the people that need to be helped so Darfur doesnt become as bad as Germany was during world war two. The US needs to take a stand as we should all because Darfur needs our help and we are one of a few nations with enough money, goods, and machines that can make a difference

 

  Obama or McCain

Real change... really?

This election year has seen two men rise up from underdog status at various points to claim their parties' respective presidential nominations on a platform touting change. However, has either Barack Obama or John McCain exhibited a real penchant for effecting change in their opportunities in Washington?

Personally, regardless of which of these two men end up as the fourty-fourth President of the United States, I fear that neither will be able to assert any lasting change on a deeply-entrenched oligarchical system of governance. Here's the reasons why... 

Thoughts on Mainstream Media...

Whether it is Fox News or MSNBC or CNN or any of the major networks or any other news and/or political media outlet, these outlets inevitably have their supporters and detractors. No station is immune from accusations of leaning toward one candidate or another when election time rolls around. From the dawn of the republic, the media has played a critical role in the carrying out of elections and the health of politics in the nation...

However, there ARE biases... just not the ones people most often assume...

Welcome... The Spin Room is BACK...

Hey now everyone... it's been a LONG time since the lasst posting in this group. As the election nears, I intend to get more active and rejuvenate this group so that we all have a place for some intelligent political discussion. With that spirit in mind, let's call this the coming-out party here. If we shall get serious, I will once and for all shed Alfred E. Neuman and reveal myself to this community... so out with the old and in with the new... welcome to the new & improved Spin Room...

Going "Green"...

Is it fair to ask underdeveloped countries to "go green" when many advanced industrial countries owe their success to destructive environmental practices?

Can we afford NOT to assist underdeveloped nations in improving their industrial practices so as to be more ecologically-sound?

Can the United States and other industrial nations afford not to lead by example and set the course for green technologies? Is there a moral and scientific imperative for them to do so?
