Genetically modified fish for sale soon

 
There is a fairly good chance that in the next 2-3 years you will be able to buy genetically modified salmon at your local grocery store. The fish is currently being contemplated by the FDA in the U.S. for approval, meaning the governing body believes it is safe for consumption by people. This would be [...]

Most ridiculous product

I recently watched a report on CNN about a new car accessory product. I give this product the award for the most ridiculous new product of the year. It is called CarLashes and I would much rather show you what it is rather than describe it in words. Check out the YouTube video below.

U.S. politics heating up

 
President Obama and the Democrats are really feeling the pinch of the upcoming mid term elections. They are on a path to losing a lot of seats in the House and Senate and perhaps even control.

Yesterday, President Obama officially declared an end to the Iraq war so I thought it was fitting to discuss it today. The Iraq war started with a swift and crushing, even embarrassing defeat of the Iraqi military. Within 2-3 weeks, the country was completely in the control of the U.S. forces. However, from that point [...]

Middle East peace talks this week

 
This week, leaders from Israel and the Palestinian territories (West Bank, not Gaza) will meet with President Obama in Washington to begin the first round of peace talks. The hope which is far fetched to many is that the talks will eventually end with a stable and real Palestinian state, as well as, a secure [...]

Is greed really a bad thing?

Is greed really a bad thing?

Every time you hear the word greed only negative thoughts and feelings come to mind. Greed is often associated with heartless businessmen like Michael Douglas’ character in the movie Wall Street.
