The Color of Loyalty

African Americans have long been perceived as unpatriotic. This is mainly due because they point out the imperfections of the U.S. Blacks have been apart of every war since the civil war. How is that unpatriotic? Shouldn't black leaders be more willing to point out the differences though. Afterall they wasn't treated the fairest and was working to gain freedom and fair rights.

Why China's Mad

Beijing is the city hosting the olympics this year. China is very honored to have this being done and are very angry that there are other countries that are protesting that they should not host the games. China is taking this very personal because they are among the worlds leading super powers. They feel these protests is a stab in the back and appauled at others that protest the games in Beijing.

The only reason I would be on the protesters side is because of the horrible pollution. The games should be held where the athletes competing are in no physical danger and can perform at their best.

Polygamists in Texas

On April 3, 2008 authorities raided a ranch in Eldorado, Texas. The authorities recieved the call stating a polygamists was going outside their already wacky nutshell. The polygamists were believed to be marrying young girls and and forcing them to have children. The law states that one can only marry one person at a time. The polygamists in Texas had their children taken away from them and are in foster homes for now. The controversary is over whether should the court throw all the polygamists in jail for breaking the law and seperate their children from them.

Well considering the law is being broken here, the cult should be punished and the children should be sheltered from that kind of lifestyle. Our government has laws and they are meant to be followed, if everyone just wanted to do their own thing this world would be a mess and in ruins.

Act Now or Eat Later

The world leaders failed to come up with a plan in the past about the hunger crisis in the poorer nations and economies. And now we have a global food crisis on out hands and a rough road to travel to make things right again. Some main causes for the hunger crisis is the use of crops for fuel. Countries unable to maintain a safe harvest and inability to buy decent seeds and fertilizers. Climate change as played a big role too. The good news is that this is able to be resolved but fast and globally.

Canada wants out

Canada has recently stated they have no grudge with Afghanistan and feel they are increasing their risk of becoming a target for the terroists. Canada has given 82 lifes to the cause and have a high fatality rate compared to the U.S. Canada has agreed to stay and fight untill 2011 and requested that their troops would be concentrated on training Afghan soldiers instead of the battlefield and the forces be reinforced with 1,000 troops elsewhere. Canada currently has 2,500 troops on the ground.

C-sections

Caesareans are on the rise since 1990's and are becoming more and more of a desired way of childbirth. 31.1 percent of all babies born are by c-sections. Their is no clear cut reason for the rise but some believe that it is safer or that it may just be a new norm.

Going Green ?

The big talk is over going green. All 3 presidential canidates have stated they support going green and want to make it a major issue. Going green would actually bring in money and jobs. So why are we not already on the bandwagon?

Oroqen

The Oroqen are a minority in their own land and slowly their way of life and heritage is being depleted. The Oroqen believe in hunting as their way of life and the government is putting their foot in the door and not allowing the Oroqen to keep their lifestyle.

This is wrong in several reasons. The Oroqen's lifestyle is not affecting no one and is not violating any laws untill the government made a problem with them. It's wrong to deprive people of their way of life especially if they are causing no harm, now it be a different story if it was a group of people with deviant life styles.
