HYOC performing "In Our Hands" by David Pomeranz

I seem to cry everytime I hear kids singing that song.

3 signs Hawai'i is a small world

1/ Your son's lion dance instructors lived on the same floor than Barack Obama's grandmother.

2/ Your girl-friend lives in his grand-parents' old house in the sixties.

3/ You kiss his sister when you see her.

Afghanistan is the real Vietnam, will Obama be the next LBJ ?

President Obama runs the risks of doing another LBJ : great social programs at home, but a military disaster abroad.

I don't think this violence-prone american society coupled with the industrial-military complex will let him off the hook: the odds are that he will have to escalate the war in Afghanistan, which is doomed to failure.

Like LBJ, he might become a one-term president, unless he's heeding the lessons of history and pull back from both countries in time...and he's great enough to do that.

Alaska

What a beautiful state, where a convicted US senator has chances to be re-elected by its people. Alaska is probably the most corrupted state in the union. Hmm I'm wondering if OIL has anything to do with this state of affairs ? Hey, I would also love my politicians if I had no sales tax, no state tax and they sent me $3000 in the mail every year ! But, as Obama and McCain both said in their final debate when faced with a real tough question, I'm just a cynic...

My Typo

well, apparently, the plural of "month" is "months" , not "monthes"...which goes to show that even '25 years later' is NOT too late for proper education !

thanks (anyway) Office2007...
