Why dont the EU and the USA stop buying oil from Iran until the hostages are returned? Hit them where it hurts.

The Next President

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 17:52:45 -0800

The Mysterious Mr Bush will leave quite a legacy – one of which is that irrespective of who succeeds him, (s)he will be remembered as one of the great presidents of this country. Why? Just by doing small and simple things, the next president should easily be able to achieve two things: Allow Islam and America to embrace the other, and give reason for the world to love and respect America gain.

The other day I went to one of our adjacent towns, and came across a war memorial in their town square. It listed the names of the dead from WW I, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, (none from Desert Storm) and then I read, with a sick stomach, two names from Iraq.

I am also aware of the “Power or Intention” vs. the “Power of Attention”

It is wonderful that society’s dogma is coming to us to haunt us – eunuchs are being used to embarrass, and thus collect overdue money from Indians in India.
I wonder what would work in other countries?

Should I worry about reincarnation?

Sun, 22 Oct 2006 10:37:03 -0800

The other day I called someone to wish him on his birthday, and he jokingly responded that all it was, was that he was a day closer to dying. I related this to my son, and without a moment of hesitation he responded: “Surely he is a day closer to reincarnation?

This year, Diwali, the festival of lights, is on Oct 21 and a part of the celebration for Diwali is to gamble by playing cards. The idea is to invoke Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth. Anyways, when we, a bunch of amateurs, play cards, there is always someone who is unsure of the rules ….….

Politicians – Harbingers of War or Peace?

I often wonder how hard our politicians are trying to bring (let alone maintain) peace.

And all because of a thought

What makes one remember another? What makes one "special" that when one thinks about them? Why do your eyes go misty or why do you suppress laughter when you think of them? Why does the world stop when you start to think about this person?
