I have been away from my blog for a while and I am sorry for that. I had pressing
issues to take care of this year, but now I am back. A lot has happened since I
last posted. Namely the reasons for war have changed continuously, and U.S. home
foreclosures have reached an all time record-breaking high in the United States.
These foreclosures seem to be due to a combination of bad home loans, some down
right fraudulent home loans and folks losing their jobs. Just about everything
seems to be made in China, India, Vietnam(once our arch enemy), or some other
poor country, hence the loss of jobs here.

There is one silver lining in all of this financial mayhem, company CEO's in
the United States are getting fired for bad production, bad business deals or
both, but they walk out the door with $100 million dollars, even though half
the company looses their jobs.

In this country we have increasingly poor public schools, inner city and suburban
gang violence, poor people getting imprisoned at a rate never before in history,
and middle class suburban shootings over issues as small as a single child support
payment.

A newspaper in a wealthy southern California city, San Diego just reported that
home foreclosures are up an astonishing 353%, more than 7000 in 2007 alone. As a
result the homeless population has exploded, many folks don't even have the
luxury of thinking about poor schools when their kids have nowhere to sleep.
Pray for the United States, their is still hope and their are still a lot of
good people who live here. We need new leadership and a new direction, hopefully
we will get it in our next president.
