Today there is a raging, growing fire of controversy over Obama’s decision to bomb Syria. Obama’s decision to bomb a free nation is as wrong and distasteful as the inane and unparalleled stupidity of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush’s lust for war, blood, guts, and fleeting glory in attacking USA-supporters Iraq and Afghanistan. …

Zombies (the “undead”) have for thousands of years been considered to be a part of most communities, and seen both as villians and as special messengers: as with the account in the Gospels where Zombies rose out of their graves to herald the death of the New Testament Jesus. This same myth exists in every religion and region of the world, and is used to control people and their actions. Those with little or minimal education accept this horror story, and those who deny it are often persecuted as seen especially in Third World nations.
As the economic well-being of any people plunges, starvation and unemployment skyrockets, many will seek out demigods and dictators or turn to religion for temporary euphora. Some will argue that bad times are the sign of End Times and an Apocalypse is near. Is the Apocalypse fact or fiction? Here is the judgment of history, texts, and scholars.
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.
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.
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?
