What does it say that some of the candidates for the presidency of Haiti spent so much? Desire to help, power or profit? I wonder which combination.

No me gusta el contenido de este libro pero tampoco me gustaría que una empresa comercial, que es Amazon, empiece en el camino de la censura. Con los casos difíciles es cuando debemos defender esto. http://goo.gl/kijDi
While I do not like the content, I am not sure we want to go down the road of allowing a private company, Amazon, begin to censure our reading material. It is with the difficult cases that we should stand up. http://goo.gl/wCfM6

It is a good time to remember Aung San Suu Kyi, at this time when the thugs in Burma are holding the farce they are calling elections.

Another call for mandatory salt curbs will be criticized by lovers of freedom. Nevertheless, people show repeatedly, every day, that they are not responsible with their health and even less with what they eat. Difficult to know where the balance lies. http://goo.gl/aJ8vf
It is a sign of a healthy democracy when an individual who incites against his country of adoption (although it is questionable what he has adopted) and elicits much resentment and yet receives a fair hearing in the courts. http://goo.gl/vGJuw

It turns out the the Roman Catholic Church's newest saint, Australian Mary MacKillop, was once suspended for reporting a priest child abuser. How about that! I wonder if we will see a more serious response to the many child abuse scandals from the Roman Catholic Church's. We shouldn't have too high hopes. http://goo.gl/CKIu

It is always good news when you hear the announcement from scientists that they have eradicated a disease. They say we have seen the end of rinderpest virus. It does not happen often enough. http://goo.gl/Q6wU

I have just seen a program where they are trying to delay the year of death, that is, they are trying to keep us living longer. I understand that they want to keep us healthier until the day of or death, but the earth will not be able to handle us lasting until we are 120 years of age or more and I do not see any evidence of our changing our habits noticeably.

Burmese democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, says she will not vote this time, 20 years after her victory was annulled in the last election. Not surprisingly she does not want to give the thugs in control an attempt at a whitewash. http://goo.gl/aJab

It is the anniversary of John Lennon. All I want is some truth, just give me some truth.
Power to the people.
Imagine all the people living life in peace.
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
One thing you can’t hide, is when you’re crippled inside.
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing?
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands, and the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
We could go on and on…
We are in the process of seeing another canonization of a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church. If a lot of sick people pray in my name for their recuperation, surely some will get well unexpectedly. I imagine that enough of those will give me the miracles I need for sainthood.

La tortura de animales nunca debe permitirse con la excusa de que es tradición y buen negocio. Buenas noticias, otro ayuntamiento que piensa dos veces con el tema de los toros. A ver si llegan al siguiente paso e ignoran el valor cultura y el negocio y evitan la tortura futura de animales. http://goo.gl/A7dS

A greener way of disposing of one’s remains after death…shame they don’t focus more on giving away the parts. Too many bodies still go to waste where too many are still in need. This is an anachronism of some sort of misguided faiths. http://goo.gl/10if

The military thugs are easing the terms on opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, after the election, of course. No reason to say thank you!

Good governance at HSBC by breaking the practice of promotion of the CEO to Chairman. These are different roles and should be kept separate. http://goo.gl/5jGZ
Good governance that he has gone, bad governance the way he went. Unicredit's CEO has done much to build his bank and his political exit is not welcome. However, 15 years is way too much for a bank CEO to be in the same post. http://goo.gl/hEwh
