This year's midterm election.

The American midterm election has reached more than a boiling point...It is overflowing.
What will happen on Tuesday? That's a question that promotes not only suspense but fear in the hearts of many Americans. Some are relieved to get a liberal government after 8 years of high taxes and mass privatization of many government regulated opportunities. Others well....I won't mention the "other party" or their extreme counterparts, because they aren't worth recognition.
All I can say is, if ur in the states, go out, vote if you haven't already. If you are an American who's overseas, I hope you submitted your absentee ballot, because this election will cause us all to have our eyes glued to the screens Tuesday Night.

I love you for reading.

Apparently, the US and the rest of the Western hemisphere's guilty conscience got the best of them. As of this weekend troops and humanitarian organizations began flocking to Haiti to relieve them of (wait for it)...cholera. Exactly what did they think would happen when they left a country that barely had the ability to get on one knee not to talk of standing on its own to feet. There are still a plethora of camps set up due to the lack of infrastructure. There is no excuse for this. This is a shame for every country and organization that had the capacity to help and didn't. This is also a shame for organizations that took money and did nothing (Ahem..Red Cross). Well...let's watch and see exactly what will happen next. Hopefully not another bandaid on an open wound.

UN finally gets some real diversity.

Germany, India, South Africa, Portugal, and Colombia have all been voted on to the UN Security Council. This comes as very good news to those of us who have only seen Western European and and Asian Countries dominate the power handle of the UN. Finally! It seems like the UN is taking a very modernized step forward. Now does this mean that we'll see a difference in the Recommendations and Resolutions that come out of this Multinational body? I guess we'll see..I'll definately stay on the look out.
