Shell Oil's Connection to Nigerian Military

Some large corporations doing business in foreign countries seem to totally forget the safety practices that they must abide by in their own countries. A perfect example is Royal Dutch Shell Oil whose presence in Nigeria is a cause for concern since the massive oil leaks cause harm to the health of Nigerians and the natives also have to contend with the flaring of gas constantly. In addition, there are reports of the company's involvement with the government who intimidates, arrests, tortures, and executes of residents who participate in any protest against Shell Oil. Isn't there a law against foreign companies paying off the Nigerian military to suppress peaceful demonstrations?

"What a Snob"!!

Is it wrong for parents to want their children to achieve the best in life by encouraging the youngsters to go to college? Considering Mr. Santorum is an attorney and has three degrees and his older children are in college, his statement is quite hypocritical. Between him and Romney, it's not clear which one is the lesser of the two evils!

Adele Gives the Finger

Adele sings beautiful songs, and I enjoy listening to her music. But, quite frankly you can take her out of council housing, give her millions of dollar record deal, dress her up in expensive clothing and jewelry, photo shop her for magazine covers, etc., etc., etc., but you can't take the council housing mentality and behavior out of her. So, that behavior is expected not only from Adele, but from so many other so called "celebrities".

Quaran Burning - Not Again!!

The burning of the Quaran Holy book is getting tiring. Troops on the NATO base should have figured out by now that the burning of the Quaran can only incite anger, riots, and violence. Come on now.....this doesn't seem much of an innocent accident as authorities are claiming. My Christian beliefs tell me that the burning of any holy book is wrong.

President Assad's Assault on Syrians

Syria's President Assad's brutal assault on his people has been escalating. Assad and his troops have no concern even for the lives of women or children. Not a sole is immune from being slaughtered! The last report from Marie Colvin, before her death yesterday, clearly shows the blooded, dead bodies of a number of young children. How many more people will Assad be responsible for murdering before any actions will be taken against him and his confederates?

African American, Native American, French

African American, Native American, French!!! Now, come on L'Oreal and Beyonce Knowles........what's up with dat???

Inside Apple Computer's Prison

ABC TV's Nightline tonight included a report by Bill Weir on FoxCon, the factory in China responsible for making the IPad and other Apple products. FoxCon did a great job of covering up their bad treatment of their employees. They even did well in hiding the under-aged children that were previously identified in a PBS report. The spokesperson was somewhat convincing in ultimately blaming the workers' suicides on the workers themselves and, of course, taking no part of the blame. $1.78 per hour, 16 hours per day........what would you call that type of working environment! Seeing that the President of ABC sits on the board of Apple Computer, it is no wonder that all the workers vunrabilities were highlighted in the report instead of discussing FoxCon's slavery practices.
