OUR WORLD: Key Political Races
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2006/10/key-political-races.html
Sunday, October 22, 2006. What I have done is make small contributions to five candidates. Though my puny contributions are of no consequence, I enjoy playing this minute part and picked competitive races. Hillary doesn’t need any more money. There are plenty of other worthy campaigns, but I found these particularly interesting and important or in the case of Chet Culver, relevant to Iowa. Here is a thumbnail sketch on the five:.

OUR WORLD: Wonderful
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2006/11/wonderful.html
Wednesday, November 08, 2006. It’s a great day. The sun is shining, its warm and the country took a very positive turn last night. It’s almost all good. In the big picture, this was a huge vote against George Bush and his administration I think that is obvious. Also obvious, this was a call for significant change in the administration’s Iraq policy. Will that happen? In full disclosure I view Rush Limbaugh as a very good talker, but a truly terrible terrible human being). Late this morning, Montana was c...

OUR WORLD: The lesson of John Kerry
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2006/11/lesson-of-john-kerry.html
Saturday, November 04, 2006. The lesson of John Kerry. What an incredibly stupid wrong thing he said this week about US troops in Iraq both on the substance and on the politics. I suspect what happened in his thought process is this he is still angry about the lies of the Swift Boat group in 2004. That’s understandable and justifiable and not such a big problem. He may also be mad at himself for being slow to react to the Swift Boat ads. Posted by Jerry A. @ 9:31 AM. Comments: Post a Comment.

OUR WORLD: September 2007

Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Sent to the IC PressCitizen). Who is the greatest person of the second half of the 20th century? Since voluntarily stepping down in 1999, he has remained a world leader who has given wise consul. Although his body is enfeebled, his mind is still sharp. For his ninetieth birthday, Britain honored him with a prominent statue in Parliament Square. I would like to see our country honor him in a similar way. Posted by Jerry A. @ 8:07 AM 0 comments.

OUR WORLD: Nobel Peace Prize
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2006/10/nobel-peace-prize.html
Sunday, October 22, 2006. Muhammad Yunus, the father of micro lending, won the Nobel Peace Prize - a good choice, in my opinion. Micro lending is hugely successful in his country, Bangladesh. Many very poor people have raised their standard of living because of the small loans they would otherwise not be able to acquire. Micro lending concepts are now being employed elsewhere, especially in the third world. A link to the Nobel Foundation is http:/ nobelprize.org. Posted by Jerry A. @ 9:10 AM.

OUR WORLD: In Awe of the Amish
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2006/10/in-awe-of-amish.html
Sunday, October 22, 2006. In Awe of the Amish. To me the unhesitating and immediate response of forgiveness after the tragic schoolhouse shooting is an inspiration. That they could be concerned about the family of the shooter and make clear that they were welcome to stay in the community speaks volumes for their values and genuineness.

OUR WORLD: July 2007
http://impissues.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Letter to the editor - IC Press Citizen). George W. Bush - Worst President ever! We could start with misleading America into the Iraq war followed by the utter incompetence, arrogance and politicizing of the occupation? Or there are the Bush deficits and the associated long term problems? Or the administrations ignoring and denying man’s role in global warming? Or should it be the long list of other failures and abuses? Posted by Jerry A. @ 8:07 PM 0 comments.
