Medical care in America wins this time

The Supreme Court of America realized that change in Medical care was long overdue in America. Cheers!

Satyameva Jayate

Amir Khan has done a wonderful job with his program Satyameva Jayate. He has brought to light many problems that plague Indian society.  It is indeed nice to see the Indian Government lending support and trying to help fix problem. I wonder if such a program happened in the US, would the government go gunning  for Amir Khan?

Assange needs to be free and happening

It is not about US. A free and happening Assange is a blessing to many problems in the world.  This kind of investigative journalism is the need for the hour. Governments are becoming very powerful and a free press can keep checks on them.

Extradition of Assange to Sweden

If  Assange has to go to  Sweden, he should.  He should  go and fight the cases against him. Win and then stand  for elections. Make Sweden the next best country in the world where people can breathe free and live a just life. Needless to say, every decent person on earth is disturbed by the trials and tribulations of Assange.  God bless. Its a tough almost impossible fight for honest people these days.  The world is controlled by liars and cheats.  But truth like always will overcome.

Outsourcing and the Obama viewpoint

There are many people in the world, but you cannot love everybody. Likewise, there are many people in the world but they cannot do that job. Mr Obama, grow up. Yes, in the Obama world, all the great work will be  done by true blood Americans.  The foundation of America's greatness  is immigration.  If Obama's father had not decided to study in the US, where would he be now?

Jerry Sandusky and a typical attitude of US universities

US universities usually victimize the victims of sexual abuse. Many a times, when students complain, the students have to leave the universities but the teachers are protected. I wonder why they formed this attitude. I am glad that Jerry Sandusky is now in the news. Hopefully, more schools will be exposed on how they deal with student problems.

Asylum for Assange

Julian Assange has applied to Ecuador for asylum. Ecuador is a small country and cannot afford bombardment (like Afghanistan) from the big countries.  China is where he should apply. China could a decent thing and give Assange asylum.  It will be  just returning  favors to all the countries who gave China's political opponents asylum time and again. Cuba is another choice for him. I guess Castro still has a bit of fight left in him.

I for one want the likes of Assange free and happening. Its not just about anti-US documents. Its about many other issues he could successfully tackle. Assange is quite a defense tool and must be treated with the at most respect.

What the US must do is to look at the leaked documents and fix their behavior if flawed instead of targeting Assange. Investigative journalism is not a crime and people are grateful for it.  US is forgetting basic decency. So many incriminating documents by Wikileaks and there is no mention by US leaders about what they will do about it. They see no need to answer public concerns. Instead they go after the man who is bringing some truths to light. This is a shameful era in American history or perhaps in human history.

Gunning for the American workers unions

These days American worker unions are increasingly becoming unpopular with politicians. Romney was saying how these unions make the costs of making a car increase by 2000 dollars for each car. Seriously, 2000 dollars is not the reason why Americans will not buy a car. They buy foreign cars because the quality is way better.  Now can America compete in the auto industry given the record of being behind European and Japanese car makers for so long?  Yes, with technology.  Smart cars and other gadgets can take American car industry to another level.  Paying the American worker all the perks he asks for is not the problem here.

Now American workers unions have affected the manufacturing industry negatively,  because they wanted to protect their jobs and were against automation and new technologies. The problem with that is that they could not compete with other skilled workers in other parts of the world, and instead of losing their jobs, lost interest in their jobs. So many of these jobs are now done by illegal Mexican workers.

Labor is getting scarce across the globe. Having access to unlimited labor who are willing to work hard is one of the biggest assets to any country in the world.

What Americans want to hear

Come November and all that Americans want to hear is economic recovery. All the tax money wasted fighting an invisible enemy must return to the hands of the  hardworking American middle class.  Nothing has gone right for the American people in the last decade.

The storm caused by the fine private sector

President Obama says the private sector is fine when clearly it is not.  One might say the president is not directly involved in private sector  but he is. The policies of the US govt has resulted in the mess and jobs continue to be shipped abroad if it needs to get done. Whether it is chip building or ship building, America plays a peripheral role.   We need a return to pleasant American work environments of the nineties and perhaps Romney understands that better.

Difficult protests of Egyptian women

We raise a toast to Egyptian women who are demanding more respect in the world they live in. We understand that they face an uphill battle. But they will overcome the molesters one of these days if they keep their courage up.  Egyptian men on the other hand have lost face on the international scene and one would worry if you met one of the species somewhere out there. They are plain yuck!
