China Beat Us To It

Tom Freidman thought we had the upper hand in green technology. He begged us to get ahead of the other countries by making advances in clean non pollutant technology. But apparently China got this message as well. I can't say that I'm sad that they're going green, if they do world pollution might decrease. I just wish that we had made these advances a few years ago because we've had so many warnings and yet we've made little movement towards that direction. If it becomes an international trend within the next few years as developing countries and the US compete then the world will become a safer place for the future

AIDS Vaccine!

An AIDS vaccine is in the making which makes me really happy and raises questions at the same time. This has been the longest AIDS vaccine trial but i wonder where other trials have failed? When will this be perfected to release to the public? I worry that this might become to expensive for lower wages to afford. But if this does come out to the public this will be a break through in medicine and hopefully will help us defeat other major fatal diseases such as cancer.

Its a must read

Obamas Ban on Flavored Tobacco

Obama plans to ban flavored tobacco products and personally i think its ridiculous because he is a smoker himself. He claims that it appeals to first time smokers because some flavored tobacco is fruit and candy flavored that might attract children but I really doubt that. Smoking is a personal choice and if they want fruit or candy they'll just go eat some. Why would they go out and smoke a cigarette because of the flavor, the dangers of smoking are very public so that should scare children away by itself.

Heres and article about the ban

"Popularity is like blood pressure," he says. "Sometimes it's high and sometimes it's low. What you need is to keep it under control."

The Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is doing a good job in his country. He has a real inspirational story and is extremely popular in Brazil so popular in fact that they want him to change the constitution so he could take a third term as president. From what I've read hes very intelligent and humble. Hes someone I think we'll see a lot more of as the year progresses because hes planning to get a million jobs for the Brazilians. Hes someone we could use a little advice from in this time in our economy.

Heres the article
The title of the blog was a quote from Luiz himself i thought it was a great analogy and quite funny aswell

cartoon time
