"Bored" American teenagers kill an Austrialian athlete for "fun"

LeDaro at LeDaro - 1 hour ago
What is happening in U.S. Killing for fun? Maybe Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are these kids' role models. They were bored so they invaded Iraq and over million innocent civilians were slaughtered. What happens in the south moves up to north. I hope we will not turn into a violent society like U.S. Christopher Lane, an Australian baseball player and student, was out for a jog in an Oklahoma neighbourhood when he was gunned down at random by three "bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun, police said.

Fracking: Natural gas and risks

LeDaro at LeDaro - 8 hours ago
I watched a documentary on fracking by David Suzuki -The Nature of Things. It is an eye-opener that how dangerous fracking can be to the environment. It causes water pollution, air pollution and produces methane more than CO2 produced by other fossil fuels. Gas can show up in drinking water that if you put a match near your tap water/gas catches fire. Here is a brief clip: You can watch full documentary here. Here is another interesting video:

Poverty in America - especially children

LeDaro at LeDaro - 1 day ago
The U.S is one of the richest countries in the world but poverty is aplenty. I was in New York, Manhattan area, and I could not walk a street without being accosted by beggars. These beggars don't ask for money, they demand it. If you don't give them a quarter or 50 cents some may spit on you. George W. Bush spent $2 trillion, trillion with 't', imagine how many people could have been fed with that money and provided shelter.

It was more than two decades ago when tobacco companies were defending cigarette-smoking. Now opponents of global warming are not much different. They will say maybe under oath that greenhouse gases don't create global warming. Oil/gas companies such as Exon-mobile spend hundreds of millions of dollars on groups who will deny global warming.

That should make Alberta happy. New Brunswickers? I don't know. I saw the ad last night and I was taken aback. I knew he supported the pipeline but to give a lengthy commercial on t.v, at the cost of $90,000.00, he has taken it on another level. He is sold out to big oil companies. Has he heard about the environmental consequences? I suppose he does not care as long as he can hobnob with big oil companies and receive admiration from the Premier, Alison Redford, of Alberta.

North Korea: Interesting pictures

*Every summer the North Koreans hold the Arirang games, or "mass games," where perhaps as many as 100,000 performers dance and do gymnastics to a patriotic theme. The real stars of the show may be these boys: the flashcard flippers, who with split-second precision form colorful mosaics. But this is what the boys behind the cards look like before the extravaganza begins: thousands of them — all dressed in white with their stacks of cards. The boys reportedly rehearse for months to get their moves down. If you look closely, you will find some taking a pre-"games" nap on their cards.*... more »

Sink-hole swallows vacation villas near Orlando, Florida

LeDaro at LeDaro - 1 week ago
What is happening with nature? Thunderstorms, pouring rain, fires and now sinkholes in Florida. All these are causing a lot of destruction and in some cases death. In case of Florida scientists say it is the limestone below the earth which melts away with too much water as rains have provided plenty of water. However, I understand in some cases it could be mining deep under the earth such as potash mines and they may go miles underground and under some communities. These communities are not aware of it.

Ecuador has amended its constitution to include the Rights of Nature

*Michael McQuilken, right, was 18 when he and his brother, * *Sean, 12, climbed California's Moro Rock in 1975. * *The photo was used for years to warn about the dangers * *of pending lightning strikes. * *“We thought it was something funny.” But now, nearly 38 years later, McQuilken says he recalls that deadly afternoon in the Sierra Nevada mountains vividly: The flash of white light as bright as arc welding, the deafening explosion, the feeling of becoming weightless and being lifted off the ground." *When it is cloudy and rain and lightening is looming, stay away from the forests... more »

Incredible: Diplomates on strike

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
This got to be astonishing. Even diplomats cannot deal with Harper. They're diplomats and they're extensively trained how to deal with people of all kinds and cultures. If Harper cannot get along with diplomats then what is left.  * Striking foreign service officers demonstrated outside Prime Minister Stephen Harper's * *office in Ottawa on Tuesday. (Meagan Fitzpatrick/CBC News)* ** *"The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) created a picket line outside of the Prime Minister's Office, across the street from Parliament Hill, during lunch hour.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
*All this rain reminds me of the following song:* Raindrops keep fallin' on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothin' seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin' So I just did me some talkin' to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things done Sleepin' on the job Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin' But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops keep fallin' on my head But that doesn't mean my eye... more »

Weather in Maritimes

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
It looks that mother nature is very angry. Few days ago we had a lot of thunder and rain storm. It is still cloudy and rains a lot. Some communities near the Bay of Fundy were flooded. It looks like another symptom of Global Warming.

Millions of Brazilians show up to greet Pope Francis

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
This pope is quite an improvement on his predecessor. Here are millions of people who believe in the Pope and religion despite that Catholic Church has troubled past and those troubles are not over yet. Now these people feel happiness and satisfaction. It gives them some meaning and purpose in life. Should we take their faith away from them? Religion does play an important role in peoples’ lives. I am not sure what to make of it. Read The Huffington Post story here.

Egypt in turmoil again

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
I don't understand what is going on in Egypt. First Egyptians did not want a military government. There were violent demonstrations until people succeeded to topple Hosni Mubarak. He was charged with criminal actions of killing Egyptians and sentenced to jail.However he was ill and instead ended up in a military hospital. Election were held in 2012 and Mohamed Morsi was elected fair and square. However, after few months Egyptians were unhappy again and more demonstrations were held. Mohamed Morsi was toppled too and the military took over again with the support of public. Yes milit... more »

Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas against closing Gitmo

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
When will Americans close Gitmo? To start with, there are a lot of detainees who have not been charged with anything and the Gitmo detention centre gives a tool to extremists like Al Qaeda for new recruits. Now Senator Ted Cruz, during a Senate hearing on Gitmo, says that Gitmo must not be closed. I believe Cruz's position is utterly idiotic and he is not helping his fellow Americans. Gitmo will not curb activities of extremists. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Anthony Weiner: Sexting continued after 2011 resignation from Congress

LeDaro at LeDaro - 3 weeks ago
And this guy is running for the mayorality of New York City. One has to admire the patience of his wife. It is about time that he should put his weiner in the freezer. *"New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal, admitted Tuesday that his Internet shenanigans didn’t stop when he stepped down in disgrace. Hours after a gossip website published raunchy texts and explicit photos it said were from 2012, Weiner held an extraordinary press conference — accompanied by his wife Huma Abedin, an aide to Hillary Clinton — to ap... more »
