I know I posted something about writing an article on religion. I am going to do it, but, hey, us working folks must make a living. I've been way busy building a studio. I hope to be on track soon.
That's the story and I'm sticking to it!

Comment Rejection
I actually had to reject a comment today. It was posted under a topic that the comment had no bearing on. It was a short comment that had no real subject. I think it was a kid that thought he/she or it was funny.
I am an advocate of free speach, but it must be on topic and somewhat intelligent. I say "somewhat" because I know that is all I am. In most cases I am just stating my opinion and how I view the story or situation. It may not be based on research, it may only be gut feelings on how something was written. Other times I may post on what I see.
I wonder if people really care about what is going on in this world or if they just think posting absurd comments is more important.
On the other hand, it just doesn't matter.

CNN.com - Muslims urged to make West 'bleed for years' - Mar 5, 2006
CNN.com - Muslims urged to make West 'bleed for years' - Mar 5, 2006
So much for that "peaceful" religion. I plan a article with my thoughts on religion. This will be posted on the website soon.
What I do not understand, and it may be due to my ignorance, is this "stealing of Muslim's oil". Forgive me if I am wrong, but it is the governments of the Muslim countries that are allowing the sale of oil to other countries. Who owns these oil fields? I thought it was Muslims, as in the owners of the land. We just use it. I think these extremists need to deal with the source, not the users.
Otherwise, get with the times. If there is going to be free trade, then you must accept the business of buying and selling. Get over it.

Enough Already!
Ok, it's over. Cheney shot someone. Big deal. It was an ACCIDENT! ACCIDENTS do happen. I don't care for how the Cheney group handled the press, but then again, I am very anti-press. This fixation is rediculous!
On the other hand does the press pound the story of Gore and his sweet deals in the United Arab Emerites and the 6 US ports that they will control? NO!
Wait, Cheney shot someone, we better cover that instead our asses from terrorists and radical wackos.
The media sucks. Life sucks.
You suck.

CNN.com - Poll: Too much homework? - Feb 8, 2006
CNN.com - Poll: Too much homework? - Feb 8, 2006
Don't get me started, again, on education. In my opinion, children do not have more homework than I did, parents do not seem to be interested in their children's work, and the schools do not have teachers that assign work in a "mindful" way.
There are good points in the article. One teacher mentions that his kids do not have access to the internet from home so he makes time for research at school. Also, the kids concentrate better at school than at home. I know for some, I was one of them, I could not concentrate while others were around, I preferred a quite area without distractions. Teachers need to be aware of how a child responds to the environment. Parents need to learn that too.
Assigning homework is important. Being mindful of what to assign and home much makes a big difference. Some of the homework is practice. Math is that way. Much of the homework as the child grows up is a combination of the practice and research. The research and learning how to find information is very important.
I liked that survey result about affluent parents not spending time with their children on homework. I figure this is because they always had things done for them, so why should they help with their children. I can only think of Columbine when I read that. There was very little parent interaction in that child's home and looked how that turned out.
Homework is good for children. They need to have homework. The balance must be right, though. I child needs to be a child and have time for play. This does not mean sitting in front of a television set or a computer, either. We are talking interaction with friends and family.
