2008-- a Black Sunday in the Making

The Battle of Time: and a
Happy New Year to You!

(2008—a Black Sunday in the Making)


(1-1-2008)

Part One

I see we have started 2008 off as normal, battling against time to survive in a drowning world; we haven’t learned a thing from time and history. In Africa we see: “At least 15 people have been burned to death in a church in western Kenya, after seeking refuge from the mounting violence over last week's elections.” And in the Middle East we see: “The United Nations has taken control of the peacekeeping mission for Darfur in Sudan after months of negotiations but it remains seriously under strength ….After four years' violence that has left 200,000 dead and forced nearly two-and-a-half million people to flee their homes, you might have thought things could not get any worse in Darfur. Yet they have.” While over in Sudan we have: “A US diplomat was wounded and his Sudanese driver killed in a shooting incident in the capital of Sudan, Khartoum…”
In South Korea, the government pardons one of the biggest crime bosses of one of the biggest crimes in dollars, twenty billion, and who pays for the loss, the tax payers. And the little man remains in jail; we are talking about Daewoo Boss. Does crime pay, perhaps in South Korea today, and who supports this government? Yes, the tax payers of the United States.

To be quite honest, I’m bored with writing down the news for one day, and I just started, and it does not really interest me or get better, and perhaps I got about ten percent of today’s headliners. What I am really trying to say is this: we are headed for a Black Sunday.
We are on a downward spiral, and I can’t see the end of the tunnel. Peru is loosing its glaciers faster than they can build highways. They will lose 20% of their glacier snow this year, and in five years if they have any glaciers left, I’ll be surprised. The world is in a black bole, and mankind is being twisted about like a blind rat, and the only thing he can say is: “Happy New Year”.

Thirty people were killed a few hours ago, in a bomb that went off in Baghdad; Nabil Hussein Jassim, was killed by a car bombing in central Baghdad on Friday, I bet he thought he’d be celebrating New Years today.

And so we all battle for a little more time to live, breath the air around us, see our lived ones, a few more days or hours, it all matters I suppose. A US diplomat in Sudan is killed in a shooting in the capital, Khartoum, another mishap a few hours agbvo, and he will not be with loved ones today.
