ODDS AND ENDS OF TODAY

As I was reading news from a variety of sources to prepare for this blog, all I accomplished was to get myself incredibly depressed with just how many bad guys there are in the world and how unfortunate we were to have so many as our Administration for eight years. Mexican criminals are better armed than the police. Why are we surprised at that. Our police have been screaming for years that it is the case right here in the US!

In Ireland, a policeman was assassinated. In Germany a 17 year old murdered 15 or so in his school. In America that would not be real news but one's 'first' is noteworthy in most places. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pressed Mr Obama to improve relations with Cuba and Venezuela. Seymour Hersh: "Executive Assassination Ring Answered to Cheney", Had No Congressional Oversight By Eric Black, MinnPost.com. Posted March 12, 2009. Investigative journalist Sy Hersh dropped a bombshell revelation on Monday about international killings ordered under Bush. Germany's Industrial output drops 7.5%

The further one travels around the world reading news, there is little to make people relaxed or happy.
