I wish every one a happy and prosperous 2009 and with the Advent of the New Year hopefully a more peaceful World. Well we say this every year don’t we?
Then after a few days celebrating we get back to normal and the Cycle starts all over again.
Let’s try this year collectively to make a difference and not take what we have and those around us for granted as I think that this is one of the ills that besets us in our every day lives.
For us it’s just a normal day as we are all alone in the Snow and no family of our own in this neck of the woods. All my family in England are together celebrating so I am missing them but all I can do from this end of the Earth is to pray they have a good New Year with lots of goodies as I wish the same for all my lovely Readers.
May your new Year be full of Peace, Love and Happiness.
Qiman has decided to take a drastically different direction in what he wants to portray and express and is now moving from the mainstream political Arena into more spiritual and unifying forces that can help in enhancing Mankind’s existence on Earth and maybe also prepare each one to reflect on coming and gong from this World.
Being Born into the Buddhist Tradition, Qiman is returning to his own roots to make an attempt to help make this a better World or at least help each one find what id best for themselves as we move into quite critical times where life decisions can affect more and more people as we all become more inter dependent and integrated through World wide Travel.
Whatever religious persuasion you may adhere too, we can all agree on one at least one point;
That we can find God, not on Earth or in Heaven only but in our hearts.
This Buddhist Mantra is to help open the Heart to such an enlightening unfolding of events in your lifetime and to help you reach compassion and mercy, wherever you are, just enjoy and live in Peace.
With the impending doom and gloom facing The Present Global Economy it is no wonder that the Snowball Effect will be hitting even countries like China that can boast a Trade Surplus and an annual growth rate exceeding ten percent per annum. The only problem is that as consumer spending lessens and even stagnates in parts of the World so does the demand for Chinese goods lessen which means that a whole new wave of jobs are going to be lost in the forthcoming months.
Even the Vice-Minister of Labor Wang Dong Jin has admitted that this grim situation ‘could well undemine social stability’ which is grave terminology for Chinese Bosses to be using. The Government is doing all it can to cushion the effect of this mighty blow but how much can it salvage when the parameters of a crisis are going well beyond its borders? It looks like it isn’t just North America and Europe facing a problem.
There has been everything and anything in this set of Elections. We have had all types of hysteria, lies, generic foot in mouth and now we have the Dance videos. So how do you think Obama and McCain would dance it off in a dance showdown?
Ah but watch it! There is another surprise contender in this match..just watch out Jennifer Lopez as you have a rival! Move Over Obama and McCain coz Mid America’s Hockey Queen is rolling over to shake some ass! Do you think she can do better? I certainly can’t so I am watching this Youtube Vid to get some hot dancing tips from the Pros. We could all learn a trick or two in our old age isn’t it?
Enjoy the Obama -McCain Dance off and see if you can learn a trick or two from the Mavericks………….
If you think that going to your local Walmart to buy the next knock off in the Sales is the Mid American Sarah Palin’s idea of clothes shopping in an economical crisis then LOOK AGAIN!
Her beloved Party has forked out in excess of a $150,000 USD to spruce up the all time simple American Hockey Mum’s wardrobe and on top of that extra expenses which we won’t go into here. O.K you may say she is representing the Republicans and has to look smart but that is a heck of a short term price tag to pay for some impending Election Day.
How do the simple Average American Ethics go hand in hand with a Celebrity lifestyle that Republicans so much detest as they link it to their ‘Loosely Clad morally’ Democratic Rivals!
I mean come on Sarah Palin you are NOT Miss Moneypenny oozing sex appeal from the Latest James Bond Movie but now with your new look you could go and Audition for the role and leave some real politicians to do the talking.
In one of China’s rural provinces not only are the local inhabitants going green by producing methane gas for all their fuel needs from a very abundant source but they are equally getting themselves out of the poverty rut and into a higher income bracket.
Also apart from the above benefits they are cleaning up the World’s act and reducing carbon emissions which is great for the rest of the World at Large. By using abundant supplies of dung produced by various animals including human waste the farmers here are producing enough fuel to keep themselves warm and for cooking which is so cost effective for them too. The project has caught on and as you can see from this video has been an enormous success.
There is always this problem in the U.S political Arena about Liberals being loosely moral while the Conservatives are the Echelons of Society. I mean what is Fox News trying to relay in this Palin Problem? I think I’d better leave it to you Guys to determine for yourself what is the whole essence of this game.
Kids can go around the school with a gun and shoot others and yet they are not liable to full prosecution and the parents get away with literally murder? The Legal system in the U.S should be overhauled and to be honest the Conservatives have been in power for eight years or so now and has crime been diminished as it should in a so called orderly society? Judge for yourself from this clip and come back to me with your comments for and against this argument. I tell you something if this was a Liberal’s daughter, Fox News would have slaughtered the family!
