By now you may have heard the press going on about how the European country of Greece is broke.

Greece has approached their European Union counterparts for a bailout and the global community has agreed to drop an estimated $146 billion US.

I assume Greece is bankrupt based on several things:

BBC is reporting the development of a new technology in London designed to compile private communication contact between citizens “including e-mails, telephone and internet use including visits to social network sites, but not their content”.
The aim for Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), according to the report, is not to create a centralized location for all information as had previously been presented but to trace “acts when it is necessary” and “not spy at will”. The main focus in this article presents the bold step taken by GCHQ to deny it will …

Once again public attention has been taken off of real news by the media’s excessive coverage of “Swine Flu”.
This new strain of influenza is only being heavily publicized as Western nations have had confirmed cases. Influenza related death is more normal than the public is led to believe and quite higher than this most recent outbreak.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO),“annual epidemics result in about three to five million cases of severe illness, and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths.” These numbers are starkly different from the 935 confirmed cases …

“Oh no, the economic crisis is upon us!” But who really knows what that even means? Why should we care? How will it really affect anyone?

On one hand, merit can be given in that Obama is allowing for this kind of transparency in his administration. It is hard to believe that Bush would even allow a meeting of such economic impact to be captured on  camera.
Some may suggest that Obama’s leadership skills are …

The Tata Nano was introduced last summer as the newest innovation in the automobile industry. As traditional car companies are bottoming-out, Tata is working hard on the promotion of their new 1-Lakh (100,000 Rs) car of the future.
Its compact size allows for more drivers on extremely congested Indian streets. The aim of Ratan Tata is to create the world’s first “people’s car”.

The big question surrounding the Nano is whether environmental effects of having so many more drivers on the streets will create more pollution. This depends on the type of …

I truly wonder why Western hypo-crats boycotted the UN Anti-Racism Conference?
Obama, what happened to, “if we disagree, I will listen.”? Ahmadinejad was articulate and used similar rhetoric to Obama expressing shared mutual respect and dignity for a global community.
Ahmadinejad addressed the UN audience with an account of the last 500 years of history. He spoke about the ignorance of past generations who turned to colonization, slavery and other mechanisms to gain power; this itself, he said, is racism.
Diplomats from the US and 30 other countries staged a walk-out from the …
