MIMBARI'S VIEWPOINT:

What Has Condaleesa Rice Achieved So Far?

I have been following foreign secretary Condaleesa Rice's visits around the world, ever since her appointment as Foreign Secretary. And I have not seen (so far), anything positive or concrete that she was able to garner or achieve, in all of her diplomatic travels and efforts generally and globally.

Is this woman capable of delivering anything positive for George W. Bush's administration before his term ends?

I feel strongly that no such evidence is available so far!

Could Politics Be Separated From The Olympics?

Motto: It Is Not The Winning-But The Taking Part That Matters!

For centuries the Greeks have used the olympiad to garner support, sell patriotism and bravery to all those who cherish their ideal of manhood, bravery, nationalism, and excellence. This was tied to Greece's perception of itself as a people, a culture, and the belief that with self-discipline, hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance. The human animal could achieve remarkable strength, and endurance, which would propel him to excellence.

This ideal was made graphic via the Roman gladiatorial arena, where slaves, and those aspiring for freedom from servitude used this arena to garner their freedom. They were able to purchase their freedom after several victories in the gladiatorial arena. And the victorious gladiators were viewed as desirable objects by women after their victories in the arena.

The Roman overlords who owned slaves of their own, used many of them to earn large sums of money in the gladiatorial arena, and also to sell the Roman cultural superiority, at home and in the conquered territories.

Today, government sponsored athletes are the ones (in the main) who can afford to attend these Olympics. Because of the expenses for preparatory training, travel and accommodations. National Clubs, and State sponsored funding is vitally necessary, in order to send representatives to these Olympic games.

Why Is Hillary Clinton Still In The Race?

Mike Hukabee (republican) candidate said that 'the race ain't over till the final qualifying number of delegates is achieved So he stayed in until John McCain reached it, before he finally threw in the towel.

Hillary Clinton is in the race for no reason but to be in the race. And to possibly give Barack Obama more and more heat, to the point of exhaustion, or possibly frustration with her, hoping that he might say or do something stupid, that will hurt his chances for the nomination.

Both candidates cannot achieve 2,225 delegates with the un-coming states left in the race!

And Hillary Clinton knows that, but stays in anyway, for some miracle to happen, or for the Super Delegates to favor her in the end!

The Fear Of Death Caused The Creation Of Tombs:

Tonight it struck me that the old scriptural adage that says, "From Dust You Came-& To Dust You Will Return."

And then I realize what humans have been doing for centuries to cheat that conception. They have been making coffins made from Lead, Gold, Concrete, Silver, Sarcophagus,and Hydrogen liquid, to preserve or prevent a corpse from decaying.

But the fact is, that when you physically die, your body or corpse creates maggots that consumes your body. Then the bone structure eventually deteriorates.

Regardless of what that corpse is placed in.

And that is a FACT.

Radical Shia Militia Leader Is Back On The Rampage!

George W. Bush & John McCain said recently that the social and national climate in Iraq, especially Baghdad has changed so much, that one could STROLL the streets in Baghdad without feeling fearful for their lives.
TODAY, Shia militia Muktadar Sadar militia's have re-started their rampage of death in some regions in Baghdad.

Is that the so-called peace and harmony that we were told is taking hold?
Muktadar is also calling for a general strike in the country now.

So we are back to square one, the insurgency, and the political in-fighting in Iraq.

The Democrats Perpetual Battle For The Nomination:

While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama keep slinging mud at each other.

Their supporters are getting wary with them both. And threatens not to vote in the general election, if their candidate is perceived to have been cheated of the nomination.

Thus far, Barack Obama is way ahead in Delegates, Popular Votes, and Most States won. Hillary Clinton could never EVER catch up with him.

But she is holding on for what, I don't know?

And is relentless to make it ever so hard for the remaining states to be reconciled, with the subsequent decision for the nominee.

If this situation continues, I fear for the Democrats in the general election's turnout!

What Is The Reason For Hunting?

Some people hunt for the joy of hunting. They claim that the killing turns them off.

So they do not kill the quarry!

But what is the motive for hunting anyway, if the killing of the quarry is reprehensible.

If that be the case, then why hunt?
