I was flipping through the newspapers yesterday. After quite a long time i must say...
School work and spending my hours on the tv/computer had precluded me from being aware of the daily happenings around the globe.

So yesterday, i acutally took the time off to read the papers because my dad had been forcing me to..
One thing about Singapore newspapers is that they dont really give detailed coverages on world issues. It mainly focuses on Singapore news.. for example :
HEADLINES :
MAID IN SINGAPORE BRUTALLY KILLS EMPLOYEE
DAVID BECKHAM COMES TO SINGAPORE


yeah i know..its a singapore paper right.. YEs..there is a section ' WORLD', but information there is just too brief..

The only sections i read are..

WORLD( DUH): for comprehensive coverage on current global issues..
FORUM: i think its good to know about peoples views on certain topics.

So anyway, as i skimmed through yesterdays papers, two huge issues caught my eye.
The probe hitting the comet
and
The G8 summit

One (+) and one (-)..

Then it struck me.. Whenever humans accomplish something.. someone else has to just destroy it by doing something imprudent.
When i first read about the whole comet thing.. I was proud.. proud of the human race..
I mean.. we got to agree.. humans are the brains..
for all of you kiddos out there who still think the lion is the king of the jungle. think again..

Isnt it amazing how a small probe the size of a washing machine can make a hole the size of an entire football field unscathed?
And it hit exactly..right on target on the comet, where the NASA team wanted it to..
Man.. technology has its wonders.. We can now know how the solar system was formed billions of years ago..simply amazing i must say...

And then when i flipped the page.. there it was.. It had to be bush again.. He makes all the headlines man! maybe i should start destroying the world.. hah!

jeez.. im going off line here..
ok lets get back to the point!

All Bush cares about is America's economy.. Well.. to a certain point, i dont blame him. If he had signed the protocol in the 1990's, America would have had to reduce its fuel/nuclear power emissions, and it probably wouldnt have been the superpower state it is today.
But.. if he continues not caring about mother earth, in 30 years time americas economy will go DOWN DOWN DOWN.. because of the effects of global warming of course...

but then again
he wouldnt really care would he? he would probably be long gone by then..

USA is the state which emits the most amounts of harmful toxins in the atmosphere. So now as a result.. youve got two relatively huge holes around the planet.. now you know who part of the blame goes to..

And the thing is.. every single g8 leader.. except Bush of course.. agreed to sign the protocol and diminish the emissions by 5%? ( dont blame me if my facts are wrong) by year 2012..

He would rather concentrate on building new technologies to reduce pollution..
America.. your money is being wasted.. Instead of helping people with poverty issues( its evident in many parts of the country), youve got this.

Seems to me it aint gonna work again.. i might be wrong..

on another note.. the results have been final.. the 2012 olympics-- London..
was rooting for Paris.. but i cant always have what i want..
haha

the many occurences in this blue and green ball..
