OK, the ordeal is over for the 6 Bulgarian and the solo Palestinian doctor, Sarkozy and his sidekicks got the much needed political boast, but for over 400 children infected with the AIDS virus, the monitory compensation is nothing more than a slap on the face by rich Europeans nations and an utter disrespect to the [...]

Bush says “Mission Accomplished” again!

Bush vetoed the war-spending bill again! In a repeat of the famous 2003 speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, President Bush, this time speaking from the Jedi Temple said “4 years and $500,000,000,000 dollars later, the mission remains accomplished”.
This leads me to the question, what else could we have done with a meager $500 billion? Experts [...]

The Other Point of View – A Designers Opinion on Sponsored Themes

I took the backseat for much of this debate that has been raging for a few weeks now, but it’s time for my response.

Crack Cocaine: Mandatory Minimum Sentences Rule turns 20

I heard this in the news today, if a person is caught with “crack� cocaine, the sentencing is 100 times more harsh as compared to getting caught with powdered cocaine, hundred times!
This was cleverly designed in the early 90’s to go after the poor, inner-city minorities. While the rich and famous continue to abuse the [...]
