The Risk Factor: Obama vs. McCain Just when you think the American people are awakening to the forces that have battered them like the floodwaters of Katrina in the lower ninth ward for the last seven and half years, along comes a survey concluding that a vast majority considers Senator Barack Obama the riskier of the two

Living With The Bomb On August 6, 1945, in order to end the war with the Empire of Japan, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, thus launching the atomic age. The Japanese warlords did not respond with a notice of surrender, so the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Japan surrender

Beijing Olympics: The Price of Progress I believe this is a cycle the whole world encounters during growth. It is not only in Beijing, where we have seen the levels of pollution through pictures trying to present the beauty of the new infrastructure.These pictures also showed the price to the environment for those infrastruc

Calling a Spade a Spade “Please don’t judge someone’s Iman (faith)” – is what we often hear in social circles, as was the main message of some email responses I received. I’d like to challenge this statement by arguing that we not only judge other’s Iman when it is called

Saying No to Unlimited Immigration As a negotiation coach it is natural for me to view election campaigns conducted between the two candidates for president and voters as a negotiation with multiple agendas, adversaries, and intense decision making. That is why it strikes me as disturbing that both of the presidential c

Out Of The Cage For many years, perhaps centuries, the human mind is always being tested and challenged by other human minds.

Upholding the Social Contract “For by art is created that great Leviathan called a Commonwealth, or State (in Latin, Civitas), which is but an artificial man, though of greater stature and strength than the natural, for whose protection and defence it was intended”. The above quotation is, in part, an i

The Tibet Card ‘How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.’ - Benjamin Disraeli Please help me keep my sanity! As I watched the corporate media coverage of the protests and disruptions during the Olympic torch route, I became angrier than usual over the hypo

Indio-CDN Writer, Lino Leitao Passes Away A Flower of Passion from the Garden of Indo-Canadian Writing has dissappeared. On the 25th of January I thought of phoning Lino Leitao to pass on a piece of information that I had received from Dr. Rollason Christopher, , a professor of literature and a writer from France.  In his

Building The Modern Day Ark I was a tree-and-bunny hugger until God appeared in my room. Unlike the muscular, grey bearded Creator depicted on the ceiling of that famous chapel in Rome, God looks like Ronald Reagan. However, like that painting, He did reach out to me with His finger. Then he pointed it at me and said

The Peril of Al Qaeda In July 2005, at least 50 people were killed and nearly 700 hurt in bomb attacks targeting commuter trains and a double decker bus in London, Britain.[1][i] The Al Qaeda group, or at least elements inspired by its philosophy, were implicated and held to be responsible. The Al Qaeda, as

It Takes A Licking But Keeps On Ticking So, the Doomsday Clock is 5 minutes to Midnight. It was 7 minutes before Midnight in 2002. What's two minutes between disasters anyway? Are we closer to the end than we think? It all depends on who you talk to and the subjectivity of opinion. One person's security is another person's f
