We say we care . . .

Here’s some news: the international rice research institute has cut down on research.

Why should I care you ask? Because once again cuts have been made, and who is hurt the most–the poor. Rice crops are hurt, poor don’t eat. It’s that simple. We say we care about the poor, but really, do we?

Here in the grand ol’ US of A the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Heck, Barack Obama wrote a book about himself and it’s already sold millions.

It seems for some reason or another it is always alright to cut down on something as long as no one important is hurt. As long as there is not a force to uprise against it, it does not matter whatever “it” is, it will be done.

It’s pathetic. There’s no other way to describe it. The world has no conscience. People only care about themselves.

It’s pathetic.

Rev. Wright

Okay, someone please explain. Supposedly, Rev. Wright and Barak Obama have known each other for twenty odd years. Now, with everything Rev. Wright has said over the past couple of weeks, polls show that it is hurting Obama. You would think that if Rev. Wright and Obama have been friends for so long, that Rev. Wright would want his friend to win the pramaries.

So . . . why isn’t he just shutting up?!?!

I’m lost.

The Primaries

The US’s political system is definitely not perfect, but it’s damn better than most out there. However, I just can’t help but noting that perhaps this primary buisness has gone on for a little to long. Why don’t we just have the primaries withing a month or so of eachother. I know that the candidates want to visit the states and all, but come on, this is flat out stupid. I’d even go for within three months of eachother. In fact, with this whole Clinton-Obama stretch, the democratic party is possible hurting itself. McCain can sit back and prepare for the presidentials, but Obama and Clinton are racing across the country from state to state. In fact, if this crazy system is here to stay, why don’t states bordering eachother have primaries at similar times. This way at least the candidates can move from general are to general area. I’m not dissing the way our country works, I’m just saying sometimes it might be worth taking a step back at looking at the picture on a whole.
