Fever pitch

People in China are still going mad over the olympics and where they are taking place this year. Many people dont like anything about the olympics and many are taking it so serious enough that they have made several attempts to try and put out the torch as it has been carried by. Now is it just me or arnt the olypmics supposed to bring us together? The olympics were created to bring people together for the love of sportsmanship but it really doesnt look like thats really happening.

Cult Chaos

The Texas cult is still having problems with the police. Cops still cant really be sure on what to do. The Prophet himself is sitting in prison. All morman of this "cult" have all attended the same church the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). The way it was ran was rather odd the main focus was with "celestial marriages" (no man with fewer than three wives can attain the Kingdom of God, the FLDS believes). It all deals between religion and law so dont think anyone is sure what can or is going to be done.

First Big Test

Todays people are really not taking up to well to cleaning up the environment. All three Candidates in the presidential campainge run have all taken great issues in the environmentbut mainly towards carbon emissions. In the last three dozen campaigns climate has rarely even been stated. The Senate is preparing to debate climate ligislation. It's way too late for George W. Bush, who delivered a speech on April 16 calling for incentives to reduce carbon emissions but far too slowly and with little to ensure that the cuts would actually happen. So after all this you would think something would be done by somebody to change something with the concern of climate.

Post Card

Hunting has always been something big for the Oroqen, but the memories of hunting are all they really have left because China has been trying to break down the rest of the hunting groups in society. This group had roamed the pine and birch forests of China's Greater and Lesser Xing'an Mountains, living in hide-covered dwellings called sierranju that are nearly identical to the teepees of North American Great Plains tribes. The Oroqen way of life continued largely unchanged until the middle of the past century. Their traditions are eroding due to modern society. This is really a sad thought when you think that this civilization of these people have lived a certain way for so long and are being forced to change.
