Are You On A Quest For Your Significant Other?

Some people claim that they are seeking their Soul mate or Significant other!

But do they know what he or she would look like?

* And if they happen to see someone they think might be that someone.

* What will they say to him or her then?

* What would he or she look like physically?

* Is he or she supposed to be of a certain ethnic group, skin color, hair texture, shape, height, or religious background?

* Is he or she supposed to be an intellectual, or from the Hood of Ghetto?

* Or just someone that you feel will be compatible with you in most ways?

* And will he or she see you in the same fashion, as a soul mate or significant other?

These questions and expectations are UN-REALISTIC. And may never happen in this life period.

Yes, if it is your destiny to meet your Soul mate or Significant other.

From the moment your eyes meet, you will instantly know that he or she is someone special.

And would want there and then, to continue seeing each other. And this would be a gut feeling that you both would experience, without even realizing it personally.

As for whether he or she is your soul mate. That idea may never even occur to you both. Because just being together, seeing each other regularly, sharing with each other, and wanting to be together for all time, until death if possible. Is all that your heart would desire for each other.

Very few of us ever get that opportunity in this life. And those who do, are the LUCKY ones!

South Africa's Growing Middle Class!
It has been two decades since the new Black South African government of the ANC (African National Congress) has been in power, since the end of Apartheid.
There is a growing Black middle class, referred to as 'The Black Diamonds' in that country. This growing phenomena consists of about 40% of the total population, and continually growing. South Africans can now revel in the possibilities of a growing economy, greater economic benefits for all, hitherto unknown to Black South Africans.
But amidst this improvement in opportunities for some, there is still the ever present Shanty Townships that still blights this country's economic panorama. The government is still struggling with the continued construction of homes, to help stem the spread of this population of poor and working class peoples, that have not yet fully benefited from this growing economy.
But overall, the possibility of a better future for all South Africans is assured!
Let us hope that the sustained support for the ruling ANC party, and the continued vision, economic growth, financial management of the public funds, and private investment by South Africans to help in this effort, will be encouraged and sustained.

WORD-UP:
Is It IDIOCY That Influences Americans In Choosing Their Political Reps?

I get the impression currently from CNN and other local media personnel, that Senator Hillary Clinton will get the nomination in 2008: This kind of overall and coercive prediction, makes me feel that they are subtly telling the American people, especially democratic supporters to nominate her in 2008.
But I will not allow this prediction to bother me much!
Remember George W. Bush after his first term in the White House, when Americans realized that he LIED Big Time about the so-called Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq was UNTRUE.
Yet they voted en-mass for his return to the White House, only to regret that decision shortly afterwards with the current situations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, are Americans going to repeat this scenario once again in 2008?
Let us wait and see if idiocy has become the means to select our political leaders de-facto.

WORD-UP:
A Soldier's Prayer!
A soldier prayed during the war at Anzio-Italy, during World War-2, the following:
God help us. Don't send Jesus, come yourself.
Because this is no place for children!
This was when the Germans pounded the Americans who were trapped in the open fields at Anzio for months, totally exposed and trapped by the German Big Artillery Guns.
