Pepper spray at UC Davis and writings on the wall

Police uses pepper spray on students protesting peacefully at UC Davis because Peaceful protests, they know, are way more dangerous than rioting. Most US universities allow no protests on campus and any demonstrations are strongly put down. Change is coming to America. When university students in US protests, things have gone too far. It is a wake up call. Change I predict will come from software engineers and university students. Julian Assange has already started the process. The internet that is bringing revolutions across the globe will also change America.
It is no tea party nor Murdoch generated media events that can save America.

The disappearance of jobs in America

Way back in 2006, when the recession was still fresh, I happened to be looking for a job. Suddenly, for me, nothing was working. I was not landing a job, no matter where I applied. And then I went to the employment bureau for getting trained on how to get a job. And I met the greatest idiots in America. They were training people to become zombies, forget their achievements, aspirations, and bow down to the master, your employer. Do everything your employer wants was the motto.

And I still remember the crowd in the room, a little like me, lost and wondering, why they were in that room, and in that situation. In time, it was clear that the present employers were faulty, and the good jobs were disappearing in America. It was best to find fresh grounds or form new companies where every person could live up to their god given potential, a statement American politicians make time and again.

Times up for Berlusconi

Berlusconi is a politician who broke every rule but survived in office. Now he has to go. If Berlusconi did not make a difference in the past to Italy, I do not see how it will make a difference now. Changes happening across the globe but expectations are considerably reduced.
