Rajan,In the year 2022 people have to realize that no one can work solely for their own benefit or for the benefit of their country.  We are on this planet - without borders - together. As an example, Mexico cannot produce excessive amounts of carbon dioxide - when it drifts northwards and cause

FN,I can see you being enthralled by the likes of Henry VIII. He loved power so  much that he declared himself the head of the church in addition to being head of the country.  As for his wives, the locals have a rhyme:Divorced, beheaded, died,Divorced, beheaded, survived.  Mervyn On Thursday

FN,Simply put, Mugabe lost his senses while in the prison of the State House. A prison he created for himself. He will not be remembered for the mystical   quotes he made or attributed to him. Mugabe will be remembered for ruining the country.  Here are just a few of Mugabe’s original thoughts.

Thanks for posting this Gabe, else I doubt I would have found out about it.  While the awards are important in the UK, I don’t know if they hold the value that they used to have just 50 years ago.  Anyways, the next email after reading yours informed me that Brian May of Queen also got the award.

Gabe,For those in the US aged 24 and below, the white unemployment rate is 15% and the black rate is 26% The US education system is funded by taxes on the values of the houses in the school district. The houses in the ghetto are not worth much and so is the education of those who live there.
