The Global Petition To End The Violence In Darfur!

July 31-2007:
The Global Petition to End the Violence in Darfur!
Dear President Bush:

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the continued suffering of civilians in Darfur, Sudan, and eastern Chad. More than four years on, the conflict has led to some of the worst human rights abuses imaginable. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed by deliberate and indiscriminate attacks, and more than 2.5 million civilians have been displaced.

Time is running out.

We therefore strongly urge you to use the authority of your office to:
Set a timeline and benchmarks for the deployment of the African Union/UN peacekeeping force in Darfur; Protect displaced civilians in neighboring eastern Chad and support a UN presence there;

Ensure sufficient support for African Union and UN peacekeepers to protect civilians and stabilize the region.

We urge you to stand with other world leaders to actively work to protect human rights in Darfur today.

Sincerely,

WORD-UP:
America Would Be Perceived Differently-If I Am Elected President:
Senator Barack Obama said recently that if he is nominated for the presidency, and attains that position. The world will look at America very differently.
I think he has a point here. For example:
* The developing countries will expect him to be more concerned for their economic well being.
* Latin & Central America will expect him also to be more in tune with their internal economic struggles. And the in-equality of International Trade that faces developing countries currently.
* And Black Americans who could not perceive, not cared to have a president who self-identifies as Black American. Will have to face the reality that "America is waking up" to it's responsibilities of TRUE equality of opportunity for ALL.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Barack Obama's Birthday (Aug-04-2007)

What Is Levitation?
Levitation according to physicists, can only occur when one is able to defy or avoid the gravitational pull of the earth's atmosphere.
In other words, if anyone or anything is to fly, it has to be able to avoid the earth's gravity. That is why astronauts and their shuttles are able to float in space. Because there is no gravity there.
And if for some strange reason or phenomena, earth's gravity stops instantly. Then everything that is on the earth's surface goes flying into space. And as it flies, it picks up speed in volume by the moment.
These are facts of our universe!

Raul Castro Is Willing To Do Business With The Next US President:
Raul Castro (Fidel Castro's brother), and acting president of Cuba, said he would welcome diplomatic relations with America, when the Bush administration leaves office.
That is a stretch from his brother Fidels view in this regard.
Was it caused by the perpetual lack of basic food supplies, oil, and other essential services that are reeking Cuba currently?
Whatever it is, I am sure Cubans generally are hopeful!

Gay Relationships That Cross Ethnic & Cultural Lines!

Until all Gay and Homosexual men could accept that LOVE does not have Ethnic or Cultural boundaries:
Until all Gay and Homosexual men accept that the one you LOVE comes FIRST and Foremost, before relatives and parents.
Until all Gay and Homosexual men accept that for any relationship to work, develop, prosper, and thrive, both parties MUST accept each other's frailties.
Until all Gay and Homosexual men realize, that no one can predict what Ethnic or Cultural identity the one he may fall in love with will be.
And until all Gay and Homosexual men learn to LOVE themselves, their fellow Gay and Homosexual brothers as FAMILY, we will continue to be Miserable, Un-happy, Distrustful of each other.
Drug users and Addicts, Alcoholics, Sexually Repressed, and Terribly Depressed people.

These things we MUST do NOW:

Could America Be TRULY Free From Ethnic Supremacy?
Until the economic, social and political powers that promote the old status quo is removed.
Or until the national political agenda reflects the ethnic variety of cultures that are constantly emigrating here.
Racism, Ethnocentrism, and Religious preferences will continue to mold the national agenda of this culture.

Civilian Nuclear Reactor Promised To Libia?
WORD-UP:
The French government has promised to help Libia build a civilian nuclear reactor, and the supply of arms. Imagine, Libya was once thought of as a terrorist state. Now France sees them as a state that they could do business with.
Iran un-fortunately, is not so lucky at this time. I guess Iran has to do something that would appease the USA, & The European Community, in order to qualify for a similar deal.
Remember North Korea only recently has promised to SHUT DOWN their nuclear reactor, if the west is willing to supply them with food, oil, and much needed supplies for it's starving population.

Senator Barack Obama Was Mis-construed Totally!
When Barack Obama responded to the question posed to him and Hillary Clinton, concerning meeting with leaders of Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, etc.
He said sure, within the first year he would make efforts to do so.
And Hillary Clinton said she would not meet PERSONALLY with any of them in her first year (if elected president).
Now the media is saying that Barack Obama erred in his answer, because of in-experience.
But what I think Barack Obama meant was simply this.
* He would make diplomatic efforts to meet with those leaders, via the usual diplomatic channels that are already in place at the State Department.

China's New Leap Forward:
China is known for copying other nations's technology, and selling the products cheaply.
Not anymore!
China's new college graduates today, are being charged by their Communist Government to start CREATING, instead of copying.

Obedience Without Questioning Is For SLAVES:
When Abraham was about to kill or sacrifice his son Isaac to his God or Allah. He heard a voice in his head (it was alleged), telling him not to kill his son.
Because he was only being tested for his loyalty and belief in his God.
I say Abraham acquiesced to this request reluctantly, because of FEAR.
If fear is what was expected of him from his Master or God.
Then only SLAVES need a God. Free men or women does not need any Master or a God, to serve obediently!

States Favourable To Homos-Lesbians & Transgenders:
WORD-UP:
Any state could be considered a HOMO STATE if it has enacted laws to safeguard the Civil Rights of Gays-Lesbaisns-Transgenders & anyone, whose sexual identity does not fit the mainstream view of sexuality.
The problem is not with the STATE, or the Laws favourable to the above populations.
But it is some of those state's populations who feel it is their RIGHT & DUTY to castigate any group, or ethnic category, that they feel does not belong, or fit in to their concept of ACCEPTABLE behavior or Orientation.
And that is the issue that we still face in the USA PERIOD!

WORD-UP:

What Is Haiti?
Haiti was once a colony of France. After the Black slaves revolted against their overlords, and got their freedom. They established the FIRST Black African Republic in the western hemisphere.
For years this island country was ruled by a self styled dictator named and called Papa Doc. Who used the traditional African Spiritism called VOODOO, coupled with Catholicism, as his national ideology. This form of celebrating and religious worship became the staple of the Island.
Papa Doc ruled with a Iron Fist for several years (un-opposed), primarily for his feared Ton-Ton Macoutes or Militia Thugs, which he used to suppress any opposition to his rule. At his death, his son and heir Jean Claude or Baby Doc ascended to power. But his rein was short lived. He eventually had to flee Haiti, and sought asylum in France.
Haiti has a population of over 3 million. But seven hundred (700 families), control the wealth of that country, at the impoverishment of the majority or rest of the population. There is no Middle Class. If you are not a member of the wealthy elite class, then you are a pauper or extremely poor indeed.
Haiti's economic problems are indicative of Africans everywhere. Out of colonialism into Self governance or Dictatorship. And this is evident on the continent of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas.

The Torturers Are Now The Tortured!
Three men were interviewed on BBC today, and told their stories as soldiers, who were ordered to torture Iraqi prisoners. And openly admitted that these orders were issued by The Pentagon.
One former soldier said, 'when you are Low Level rank, you are not expected to make moral judgements or question your orders.
Today these men are very troubled about what they have done, under those circumstances.
But admitted that it was not in their nature to torture or derive pleasure from so doing!

Finger Print Screening At US Airports-Suspect Terrorists & Felons Targeted!
WORD-UP:
If you have used or is using BOGUS US Passports, Driver's Licenses, or Birth Certificates to come into or leave the United States. BEWARE, currently all airports are scanning the FINGER PRINTS of ALL foreign nationals coming into or leaving all US airports for suspect terrorists, felons, or misdemeanors.
If your finger print is found to be a DIRTY ONE, (with respect to any of the above), then you might be repatriated to your homeland.

Could Any Human Being Be Totally Contented Or Satisfied?
There is no human being on this planet that could make his or her spouse, friend, mate, or lover feel totally satisfied.
And by this I mean TOTALLY SEXUALLY SATISFIED & CONTENTED.
Because each individual has his or her own UNIQUE needs. And knows his or her desires totally. Because we were oriented to feel or believe that marriage, commitment, fidelity, and companionships based on LOVE, all our emotional, physical, and spiritual needs PHYSICALLY, would be provided for.
If anyone tells you that his or her marriage is TOTALLY satisfying Sexually and Spiritually. Call him or her A LIAR.
If enlightenment or total detachment from our physical self, needs wishes, fears, hopes, and expectations is achievable.
Then & only then will the human organism be TRULY AT PEACE & TOTALLY SATISFIED.

Misleading Information About Illegals:
WORD-UP:
I heard an official say on Lou Dobbs of (CNN) show today, the following:
* Most illegals in this country are low skilled, or have no skills:
* And they are costing the economy millions in social programs each year.
What programs are they accessing in all 50 of these United States?
And if an illegal alien is only able to see an emergency doctor at any hospital, but is not admitted therein without Legal Insurance Coverage, or is unable to pay the doctor's fees or prescription drugs that may be prescribed.
Then how can they be a burden on this economy, when they by and large, cannot enjoy the most BASIC of services, that even a Drug Addict or Bum on the street could access anytime?
And most of these illegal workers are PAYING the usual taxes like any Legal American worker MUST pay via his or her income!
This is an irresponsible view that is not thought through, and does not have any validation to it!

Is There "Intelligent" Life Somewhere Else In The Universe?

If you believe in The "Big Bang Theory." Then you may also believe in some form of intelligence.
However, intelligence is measured or was created by HUMANS. To measure the individual's ability to Think, Reason, and Comprehend things, and the world around him or her.
So if we are looking for intelligent life that looks like us on other planets. Then that may never be possible. Because any planet like ours must have OXYGEN & SUNLIGHT in the atmosphere, in order for life as we understand it to thrive there!
So to answer your question:
I will say that there is a possibility that there might be, but not in the shape and form of the human organism.

Indian Nationals Are The Suspects Of The Attempted Car Bombings!
The British Internal Security MI-5 has determined that the suspects of the recent attempted car bombs are of Indian descent, or Indian Nationals. Therefore, I feel caution aught to be considered by those who seek, or have Medical Doctors or Physicians from this Ethnic group, as their Primary Care Providers.
And especially with prescriptions received by this group. Especially those who are hospitalized and are visited by such doctors therein.

China Exploits African Nations To Enrich Themselves?

The current trend between African countries and China, in allowing internal development and exploration of Africa's mineral resources for China's needs, is worth some serious scrutiny!
This may sound simply as 'go where you can access the raw materials.' But when China invests in Africa in factories, and other mineral extraction agreements, their own Chinese nationals are the bosses on the job in all of these factories.
Wages are small, and the African workers are exploited without any Unionized Industrial Organization to oversee the rights or these employees. Thus allowing the Chinese bosses to hire and fire workers whenever they refuse to do whatever they are told on the job. Regardless of the industrial hazards inherent in most of these enterprises, and the health risks for workers.
The wealth however, of this kind of internal development in Africa, aided by China, benefits the government and Bureaucratic officials, who are engaged in the making of these agreements with China!

The Schuder Libby's Debacle!
Remember when Bill Clinton was about to leave office, he pardoned several officials that worked with him. Many of whom were implicated in the Monica Lawinsky's case.
Therefore, now that G W. Bush in about to leave that same office, it should be no surprise to anyone, about his wanting to alleviate some of the legal retribution that was imposed upon Schuder Libby at his sentencing.
That is politics for you (Plain & Simple):

The "JENA-Louisiana SIX Teens" that Are Facing LIFE Imprisonment In Louisiana, by an ALL WHITE JURY!
For engaging in a fight at their High School, causing a White student victim serious harm.
None of these kids have any record of arrests or incarceration.
ACTION MUST be taken by the FBI, and Advocates to their Congress Reps, and Senators, to investigate the allegations of manslaughter changes against these SIX children in Louisiana NOW:
The father of these six boys were interviewed on TV by Paula Zahn, and was unable to clearly explain the decision that his boys took, on refusing to take a Plea Bargain!
However, this case will ultimately be taken to a Court Of Appeal, so that JUSTICE could be properly exercised!

Technological Advancement Today!
Do you know that technology has been moving by leaps and bounds, and reminding us that fifty years hitherto, we were still using Typewriters, Cable & Wireless, Telegrams, and Morse codes.
Those of us who are computer savvy today in its' programming, and operations, will have offspring who will inherit this know how via the genes.
So that they and their offspring will be much greater at learning and understanding this technology, come two or three generations later.
That is the speed at which the human organism on the planet is progressing in brain power.

There would be a severe increase in the affects of Global Warming.
For example, more Floods/Tsunamis,' Earthquakes, Droughts, and Hurricanes worldwide.

If A Woman Walks NAKED-Is She Asking To Be Raped?
It depends on where she chose to walk naked.
If it is in her family's domain, that may not be possible.
But to walk or streak naked in PUBLIC domain, is asking for trouble, least of all, a raping!
However, raping anyone for walking naked on the streets, or parks, in full view of the public, is no license for rape.
That person may be mentally challenged or impaired, for all we know.

American & Oxford Style Grammar Differs Greatly:

If ENGLISH is a second language for you, then that might be one of the reasons why some people spell incorrectly.
Also, the Internet CHAT programs and users seem, to feel that if you cannot use the current abrev. Or short word answers, you are not with it.
But I never use that language regardless of whether I am chatting or not!
Finally, The Oxford English speaking people of the UK and her former colonies, use the Cambridge Style Grammar.
For example:
Americans spell these words differently:
* Checks- meaning checks used instead of money, or checks and balances.
* The Oxford & Cambridge English spell it this way:
* Cheque-meaning the document used in place of currency.
And CHECK-meaning to check on someone.
And if you are writing an exam in England, you had better familiarize yourself with Oxford Grammar, and not use American English there.
Because you are likely to fail that English Exam or Test, if you write in the American style grammar.
