The world around me

Yesterday I saw something that was interesting...

In the Economics classroom, the chairs were arranged differently that day. All of them were lined up in rows. Typically the chairs are lined up with a few on the side of each wall facing each other and then a couple of them in the middle sort of facing the front. What was interesting was when students entered the room and saw the arrangement they spent 5 or so minutes re-arranging the chairs to the exact way they had them before..... Weird huh? Perhaps not. Just interesting...

what's going on today?

According to UNIRIN News, bird flew has been confirmed in Afghanistan in six samples of birds.
The strain was only found in birds, which means no human cases... yet. That doesn't stop Afghanistan from ordering the slaughter of all chickens to prevent it from spreading... While this kind of responce is effective, there is better ways to help rid your nation of bird flu like washing your hands everyday.

My take on Bird Flu is that it's a problem, but a reason to go to war over. However a war on disease would atleast have a better outcome then this endlist war on Terrorism. The real terror is showing up too late to help it any further or even worse not doing anything at all.

After the Earthquake in Pakistan, America tried to rally forces from around the area to help out, but they were uneffective. In fact, we didn't make it a #1 priority. The result is that people who lived in the mountains recieved aid from al-Qa'ida. Turns out there was a local training camp near by and the recruits were dispached to help victems with food, water, and aid...

Showing up late and not tackling small problems like Avian Flew OVER THERE will result in a worse problem when it reaches here.

good times!
