Pat Robertson issues prophecies every year: condemning unwed mothers, those who divorce, LGBT people, welfare recipients, Democrats, the US Supreme Court, Disney World, and liberals. He incorrectly cites his Bible, shows a total lack of exegetical training, and rants as if he were Bradlee Dean of Junkyard Prophets. While his vast fortune is not completely known, it may push $1 billion and he gained it by working closely with dictators, thieves and rapists, but few want to expose this man for who and what he is.
Education has become essential–to get a job–but learning a subject or gaining knowledge is of little interest to most people–because of bad teachers, bad books, and lazy students. Here is how to correct the problems.
Keiko Fujimori pulls out stops, discounting truth, her father’s and her own crimes, in quest of being President of Peru. She takes credit for what her father did, but what did he do that is creditable?
In a desperate move to free her father from a 25 year prison sentence for crimes against humanity, Keiko Fujimori declared she would run for the presidency of Perú. When statistics showed she could win if she would denounce her father, she did that, and took to buying votes, lying about her past, and excusing the crimes of Alberto Fujimori–including stealing from the Perú treasury to fund his childrens education in the USA.
Keiko Fujimori is desperate to become President of Perú–and continued his failed policies and fascist form of government. To that end, Keiko hired former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani who claimed to cut taxes, provide security to citizens, end homelessness, and more. Both Keiko and Rudy lie, and here are the facts, statistics, and more.
Teaching in Perú, where education is underfunded, teachers are poorly taught, and libraries are nearly non-existent is a challenge. I have spent eight years in teaching English as a foreign language, but leaving teaching for reasons that have little to do with my vocation.
In the 16th century Spanish thieves invaded the Inka empire, killed its king, and stole tons of gold–but not all of it. More of it was taken by the Fujimoris on military helicopters bought by Dictator Alberto Fujimori, while Keiko Fujimori stood watch over the plunder, murder, and destruction of one of Perú’s oldest sites and key to its past glory. This was covered up by a corrupt Congress in Lima, and mass executions: from La Cantuta massacres to the slaughter of families and children in Barrios Altos–yet many of these people will vote for the daughter of the president who destroyed their lives, families, and future, especially in the mountains surrounding Perú. This account is based on a limited printing of a book by Father Juan Carlos Polentini Wester.
On June 5, 2011, Perú may elect the daughter of former dictator and mass murderer Alberto Fujimori as president. She has her own records of crimes against the people of Perú and the government, but this does not discourage those who remember the Shining Path, even though Fujimoristas have slaughtered thousands and Keiko sold clothing that was sent to the poor in Perú for her personal enrichment. Perú is accustomed to corruption and votes not because of choice but because of law.
Language is to be a tool used to communicate; with the rise of slang and local idiomatic expressions, language is difficult to learn or understand. What can be done to solve this crisis?
Deliberate or unintentional misuse of a language has and will continue to lead to wars, violence and misunderstanding. It is the responsibility of teachers of language to use the language correctly–not in current jargon, but in precise, clear, cogent, and coherent studies of that language.
