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.

Palestine enters UNESCO

With Mubarak gone in Egypt, Palestine has a chance to become recognized. UNESCO recognizes it and I do not see why others will not. Israel cannot encroach on Palestine land any more. They may not like it but it is a small glitch for Israel. Israelites have the entire world to expand in. Unlike their Islamic neighbors, there are no terrorist labels on Jewish foreheads.

Being a nation

A nation is defined as a large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. And to remain a nation, a country really has to be that. Against the future military drones of the mighty nations, very few regions in the world are prepared. Under such circumstances a united people may provide the necessary ammunition to stay free.

Gadaffi is no more

Gadaffi a hero who turned dictator is no more. A lot of dictators around the globe now must be squirming right now. Clearly many parts of the world is doing away with dictators. The question now is are dictators replaced with fanatics, colonial powers, or a real democracy. Though real democracies are a myth it is still the best choice till another more honest system comes along.

Dehumanizing of war

People are video game targets. Dead soldiers are not to be mourned but to be proud of. Perhaps this is the trend. Human beings feel less and less connected to each other in the modern era. The lines between reality and fiction forever blurring.
To quote Shakespeare

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances"

Public lashing of women

A woman gets 10 lashes for driving a car in Saudi Arabia. The immediate response is that this is how men treat women in Saudi Arabia. I wonder why Saudi men do not protest. Its hard to think that young men of Saudi Arabia have no chivalry to stop things like this from happening to women. It is a shameful situation. The stupid Saudi administration needs to go. More than Syria or Libya, Saudi is where we need to see change happening.

Looks like the King prevented the lashing to happen. Cannot say that was kind because the entire thing was really gross. On the other hand looks like the King thinks Saudi women should be treated a little different from the past. Whether it be king or kin change for Saudi women is a good thing. Clearly, a smart woman is a smart home. Children of smart moms do way better than when only the dad is smart or even when the dad is not.
