About Me
Yes, I love soccer...
About me? I am a visiting professor in CA, environmental expert, liberal on most matters but not for "amnesty" for illegal immigrants. I care about the hard working middle class and I feel the privileged class should be paying more taxes to help the underprivileged folks who do not even have a health insurance. I just don't want to spend my tax dollars on expensive wars that are not supported by NATO, actions that exploit the environment and on government that does not care about civil liberties. I want the best education for all our kids here and I don't want to see our jobs being shipped outside US. I want US's image to improve around the world-- we are not warring maniacs!!

We are losing our social security 100's of thousands of our citizens will never see their Social Security checks. Who is going to bail them out?
If the Automakers cannot live by stricter standards, if their executives cannot live on lower compensations, if they cannot build better cars that can compete with foreign cars
what is the use of bailing them out over and over again. Let them go bankrupt or get bought by the "lean and mean" foreign companies. (more) -

I want to be the first one to apologize to those whom I managed to hurt because I argued and debated passionately but endlessly. I want to be the first one to extend my hand and make peace...or stretch my arms and give a big hug (well ladies only..lol..)...let's be friends again.

Yes it matters that Edwards is now supporting Obama, but I don't understand his logic of doing it right on the day after Hillary won West Virginia. In any case Edwards was not doing too well to begin with in the primaries and he took for ever to endorse-- it also makes me very suspicious that DNC is playing a dirty role in forcing more dems to side with Obama.
How many people who supprt Hillary will now move to Obama?
I guess "none" because they have made up their mind. (more) -

1. Tap all alternative sources of energy and research them thoroughly for feasibility, cost-benefit and ease of availability.
2. Give incentives to businesses to switch from one form to the other..small tax-breaks but they will steadily help in cutting future costs.
3. We use far more gas/energy per person than anyone else in the world. Somehow we need to embed energy conservation importance in our school education. We have water shortage and energy issues-- are our kids aware of this? When I visit Asian countries, I hear 4 year old children telling me the importance of turning-off lights in unoccupied rooms/areas.
4. Global warming or not--let us agree that tapping conventional fuels is environmentally unfriendly. Once we have agreed on this, it is easier to agree on greener alternatives.
I have many more details and suggestions and I will keep adding them as we get more comments. I want to hear all of you first. (more)
