Thoughs on Recent Events

It‚Äôs been some time since my last post so I‚Äôll jot down some thoughts about current or recent events:

I was expecting something special from Apple for the 30 anniversary but there isn‚Äôt any sign of it yet. I still think there will be something that Apple springs at the last minute.

The Microsoft Vista delay announcement was one of those unsurprising surprises. From reading many of the blog comments, the ones most surprised were Microsoft employees working in the Windows Group. I would have been more surprised if Microsoft had actually been able to ship Vista on time.

No matter what the status of the war in Iraq, President Bush has definitely lost the publicity war. This should have been one of his top priorities since a majority of Americans seem to take the media reports at face value. I‚Äôm not sure that we as Americans any longer have what it takes for multi-year military struggles with casualties. We are soft and seem to be a nation of diagnosed ADD sufferers. Was the invasion of Iraq justified? I don’t know. I’m sure we are still not aware of all the information that was available at the highest of levels. Therefore, I will still give a benefit of doubt on this subject. If that was not so…then shame on Bush.

Illegal immigration is like illegal drugs. You‚Äôre not going to stop it by creating laws about and/or against it. All you‚Äôll do is create a way for people to exploit and make money off it. How many years have we been trying to stop illegal drug use‚Ä¶has it worked? America has always been a melting pot for cultures from around the world. That is our history, our culture, and part of our strength. We need to find a way to assimilate this new influx of people into to our society in such a manner that they can become successful and a benefit to us all as a whole.
