Parents Spend more Time with their kids now: AP survey: what do you think?

Google assembled these pictures

Parents Spend More Time with their Children than they Did Five to Ten years ago; according to a survey printed by the Associated Press. What do you think? Is this true?

If so is it helping kids?

I read a very interesting article about this published by the Associated Press and it was inspiring!

What do you think? I think it si very good news and if I am pressed, I will attest to seeing a ton of moms in mini vans and dads in pickups! Kids have many activities and sports after school, and tutoring ! I think it is great that parents do so much for kids!

Conversely, the saddest thing I see are kids whose parents are not around!

Tornado killed eight people in Alabama

CBS

March 2, 2007

Some people were huddled in a school in Enterprise Alabama while this deadly storm rushed through; leaving death and destruction in its' wake.

My heart goes out to the people of Alabama and Georgia and of course to our Jlander Marti from this area. Please hold Marti in your thoughts and visit her webpage to offer support: Porch Stories.

Intuits are Angry at Americans: they think we Have Polluted Their Environment

I am surprised to read this because I am a mere peasant who does not have the say so to control industry so I am wondering how we the people, who work, raise children, and pay taxes can be sued for a huge area of industry nation wide and its' after effects in the Supreme Court.Do you think they will narrow it down?

What do you think?

Eskimosare saying that they want to sue Americans (these Eskimos are Canadians).

They claim that our pollutants have ruined theri chances for a good food source and their ability to enjoy a great natural lifestyle outdoors...

So..let us know your opinion please!I think that these people deserve a good environment...and I wish and I hope we can get more influence with industry... Do you think we have that influence now? do you think we used to? let us know!TY

China's Wild West becomes America's Future

CBS

February 27,2007

We got near to a recession for amoment in time as our stock market crashed to post 9/11 levels and Wall Street analysts were quized again about the repercussions; what happened and were we near a  recession?Greenspan said it was serious...

The interesting thing was that we were reacting to China's mercurial ups and downs; and it is said that China is now like our Wild West! Things are not totally nailed down and experiences similar to our gold rush days in the Wild West are still occuring!:0

This is fascinating to me: but how about you?What do you think about the fact that we are so closely tied to how business does over the ocean in this giants' back yard?:)

Please let us know! TY!
