A terminology I have been hearing more & more in the recent past. True it has come to that. If America sneezes - the rest of the world follows suit, if America says butter is bad for health , rest of the world stops eating it , the list goes on & on.
Now, it is election time in the US , along with an economic crisis. I am surprised at how much time and resources rest of the world is putting into following the campaign. shouldn't the govt.owned media be cutting costs and not sending their reporters globe trotting?
It makes me wonder whether there is something wrong with my thinking and simple economics or theirs.
I must be right since I have not landed in massive debts!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable ! experts with degrees from institutions like Harvard, Yale etc. could not avert the economic crisis.
Wonder when and how all this will end. Everything is either controlled by US of A or out of control.
In times like this I like to take solace in the Hindu philosophy of "destiny". Therfore if the human race is destined to self destruct , it will, if it is not , then it won't.
Simple.
Let me end on a philosophical not.

Bloghead
My head is overflowing with ideas as I sit down to write. But alas , by the time the computer is booted and the signing in is done [usually 2 attempts with the password] all the ideas disappear like the fizz from a fizzy drink.
Anyway today I am determined.
Just heard the Palin - Biden debate, looks like the Americans will vote into power the warmongers again. US of A is really a nation of aliens, they have no clue as to what is happening on Earth and why.
On the subject of nations. I have frequently heard NZ being referred to as "developed country" ,
"civilised country" and many other flattering things.
But how can it be any of the above what with having one of the highest child abuse rates in the world?
Or doesn't the state of children count in the bigger political & economic picture.
The other thing that annoys me with the so called developed countries is their constant whining about human rights violation in India, China, Africa, etc.
Stop complaining and just for starts stop buying made in China stuff.
On a lighter note the weekend has started and the weather promises to be good. So stuff the Americans and the lot and enjoy the weekend!
