Greek athelete thrown out of olympics and rightly so

Greek athlete posts a joke about mosquitoes and African people and gets thrown out of Olympics.  Some people think it was a bit too harsh. I think it was just. Mainly because people are beginning to forget manners  and  say what they like. This leads to unpleasant environment in activities that involve global participation.  The Greek athlete would rather the players were all just Greek. She must play in only national sports then and not international. She has a choice.

The unrest at Maruti Suzuki

Workers beat up management and set the Maruti factory to fire. This is a Japanese collaboration that sells the majority of cars in India.  It is time to look at the worth ethics of this seemingly clean company. People who work there at all levels have been unhappy for some time. Physical violence of this scale is unheard of at other work places in India. I wonder what the Japanese management did to disturb Indian workers so.  

Lost glory of Joe Paterno

One is glad that people are angry with Joe Paterno though he is not directly committing the crime but rather did not actively stop the crime. If he was alive he probably face a jury. I think a lot of Penn state officials need to see some  jail time for ruining lives of so many young children.

Why the Asian countries are not affected by the current recession

Asian countries are faring well though there is a recession in the western countries.  This is because Western prosperity is directly related to middle east money. When the oil money was placed in US banks, people did well. But when that same money went to oil companies everything fell apart.  Oil money and  tax money build   the west in recent decades. Now both these sources are controlled by oil companies.  I say if the oil companies are so profiting by the war then they should fund the war, not the public.

World dependency on Pakistan

Whenever a regime any where in the world  wants a few military hands, it is Pakistan they turn to. Be it Bahrain or the USA - Pakistanis are part of every war.  Worlds supply of mercenaries come from Pakistan.  

Bal Thackeray pissed with the Karnataka Govt

Bal Thackeray has appealed to the President to do something about the Karnataka Govt's anti Maharashtra behavior. He is pissed. Unlike Maharashtra where there was only one Bal Thackeray to appease, there are many regional leaders in Karnataka. States are becoming increasingly regional. It is only fair that the Central Govt keep a watch on what clandestine and anti constitutional policies regional govts follow.

MLA gets beaten up in Assam

Okay, now the media is all upset about a woman getting beaten up for leaving her husband and running off with a lover. But when a man gets beaten up for doing this, all is mum, and even think justice is done. We have watched many a wife with a mob  beating up a husband and his new love interest and have not raised an eyebrow in objection. But surely a mob can get this close to an MLA says a lot about Indian security lapses.  I would not trust my life with Indian security. Having said that one is reminded of the song koi patthar se na maro mere deewane ko ................
