Obama talks the money talk!

With the state of Pennsylvania becoming one of the battleground states, Obama barack has just outlined some of his economic policies that he would be adopting if elected as the president. From what I had heard so far, I have to say that this candidate is a much better deal for us than McCain would ever be. The economic policies as outlined by Barack Obama are realistic,practical and ones that can be initiated easily.

The policies as outlined by McCain pale by comparison for they are weak, vague and more to do with election drama and bereft of any real content. McCain's policies seem to do more with short term gains than any long term benefits, reminding us all once again, that he is of the same cloth as the current president. When it comes to election rallies there are very few politicians who would come forward to outline policies with long term benefits as Obama has done.

Furthermore, McCain's policies are based primarily on slashing expenditure without any thought whatsoever to the consequences. Take for example McCain's idea of doing away with the gasoline tax, the impact of such a policy would only serve to make the oil companies richer than they already are and cause constriction in the availability of funds for community related infrastructure projects.
Everything considered, Obama is the way to go, no doubts about that.

Killer student mows down 8 in Finland!

It seems that the School Killings have started all over again. I had said this before and I shall say this again, it is high time that stronger gun control laws be brought into force. It is one thing to have guns to protect oneself but totally another thing to use them to shoot innocent people, just because you do not feel okay. Here in India as well as the other countries there is a very strict gun law which is duly enforced and it is pretty much unheard of for any teen to get their hands on any guns or ammunition of any kind, leave alone, to bring them to school.
We all have gone through that 'teen' years, with all sorts of hormones running through our body. It is at this stage that a human is most vulnerable and it is at this age that he or she can learn about life and mature into a responsible adult. To learn that Bullying was the cause for this person to run amok in this Finnish school, I have to ask did no one notice that he was being bullied? Why did the school counsellor not make an attempt to intervene? These are some of the questions that many a Finnish citizen would be asking themselves today.

These killings have only shown us how easy it is for underage adults/minors to obtain guns and ammunition of all sorts in countries where gun control is limited or pretty much non existent. Why should guns be so readily available in the market? I can never accept the argument that if guns cannot be sold over the counter legally then there is always the black market. It is high time that all guns were removed from the society as such, other than the police and the armed forces. That way, we would not be threatened by school kids 'going off their rocker' or by any robbers or murderers with guns. What is more, this way, tracing a gun that has been used in a crime would definitely be a whole lot easier! The American constitution may grant one the right to defend oneself, but it is that very right that is eroding the society of Modern America and this disease is spreading to other countries that do not have strict gun control laws like that of Finland. This crime has hit the Finnish people very hard as they are fighting to understand what happened and why it has happened? It will be some time before life gets back to normal in Finland but as far as schools go, Finnish education has changed and the feeling of safety in Finnish schools has gone forever!

American contractor killed by Taleban in Kabul!

Today saw the Taleban flexing its muscles of sort in Kabul.the Taleban managed to kill an American security contractor by crashing their car into his.to make matters dicey,they had rigged up thier car with explosives.an eyewitness reported seeing the two cars of the contractors rushing past him,then the taleban's car with explosives made a beeline for the contractor's car and then there was a loud bang.in the explosion an afghan citizen along with the american contractor was killed on the spot.another american was injured.this scene is almost out of a movie.i am not a security expert but should one not vary one's ingress and exgress[entry and departure] points from time to time so as to avoid such ambushes?anyway the Taleban are flexing their muscles but it is all for nothing.the whole world has seen what the Taleban can do and would not allow the rise of it again not even in a minor position!as far as the world is concerned the Taleban is a terrorist group and as such would be dealt with accordingly!
