My Take On “Air France Crash Report to Spur Training Changes”
Gary, truth is that this has happened since and happened before without a crash. Air France and Airbus knew it and were in the process of replacing the pitot tubes on this fleet. Why this crew reacted as it did is the million dollar question given that others had recognized and reacted to the situation correctly. What is Read More
Some Thoughts On “Dianne Feinstein: Civilian Courts Can Prosecute Terrorists”
There is a long history of military trials. The military commission are an historical method of dealing with some legal issues. As for the current situation I say civilian careers trials for those captured and handled by civilian authorities, and military trials for those captured by the military or by foreign nationals.

My Analysis On “Wal”
Wal-Mart is reflective of where America has moved the past thirty years. President Obama would never shop in a Wal-Mart, but sees Wal-Mart as a symbol of what he wants America to become for the average American as he raises the poor to a better standard of living on the backs of the middle class. The Wal-Mart in our area Read More
Criticism On “Dictator Gadhafi Loses Grip in Libya”
A chain reaction of overthrowing leaders seems to be occurring in the Middle East, regardless of how expected, or unexpected this was. As commented on another article, Gadhafi's nation was seemingly doing okay, compared to other nations. This creates an interesting situation for the surrounding Middle East nations because Read More
Some Thoughts On “Obama Calls for Talks on 1967 Borders For Israel”
American policy in the Middle East has been a consistent failure, dating help back to its support for Nasser in the 1950s, and earlier to its support for the criminal Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia.
Nearly every action the U.S. has taken in the ME has backfired. Taking out Saddam Hussein, first in '91 and finally in 2003, was disastrous Read More
Thoughts On “Lawrence M. Krauss: Our Spontaneous Universe”
Because the net energy of the universe is zero, Alan Guth claims that an advanced civilization will be able to create universes. Creating universes qualifies as god-like behavior. Since consciousness exists, it is plausible there exists a conscious being(s) more advanced than Man, capable of creating a universes. The idea Read More
My Take On “Big U.S. Firms Shift Hiring Abroad”
I can understand why US top consulting firms are hiring abroad; 1) cheaper labor and 2) increasing customer base. What this article fails to mention is hiring pattern of the foreign firms here in the US. After all US the biggest market for from Korean Consumer Electronics firms to Indian IT firms to Chinses manufcaturers. Read More
Views On “The End of the Email Era”
I have several issues with this article, but its biggest problem is that it establishes a false choice by suggesting newer forms of written communication skills will replace email.
Each new form of communication brings benefits and pitfalls, but rarely, if ever, does it replace those that preceded it. More often, it changes Read More
A Commentary On “‘Conan’ Falls Flat in Season 1″
Several problems with Conan style approach what to do when you are bored late night tv......1) People want to unwind at the end of the day with some easy entertainment. They don't want to be preached to by some smart aleck young punk. That's why Carson/Leno were successful and the current crop of cookie cutter late night Read More
An Opinion On “Blackstone Nears Parks Deal”
Recessions, when the government permits them how to not procrastinate do their work, are important for building efficient economies. We are in the process of seeing two inefficient conglomerates -- Anheuser-Busch and GE -- finally admitting that the synergies, etc. were only in the minds of their CEOs. If Obama would have Read More
