"Bored" American teenagers kill an Austrialian athlete for "fun"
What is happening in U.S. Killing for fun? Maybe Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld
are these kids' role models. They were bored so they invaded Iraq and over
million innocent civilians were slaughtered. What happens in the south
moves up to north. I hope we will not turn into a violent society like U.S.
Christopher Lane, an Australian baseball player and student, was out for a
jog in
an Oklahoma neighbourhood when he was gunned down at random by three
"bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun, police said.

Fracking: Natural gas and risks
I watched a documentary on fracking by David Suzuki -The Nature of Things.
It is an eye-opener that how dangerous fracking can be to the environment.
It causes water pollution, air pollution and produces methane more than CO2
produced by other fossil fuels. Gas can show up in drinking water that if
you put a match near your tap water/gas catches fire.
Here is a brief clip:

Poverty in America - especially children
The U.S is one of the richest countries in the world but poverty is
aplenty. I was in New York, Manhattan area, and I could not walk a street
without being accosted by beggars. These beggars don't ask for money, they
demand it. If you don't give them a quarter or 50 cents some may spit on

Sink-hole swallows vacation villas near Orlando, Florida
What is happening with nature? Thunderstorms, pouring rain, fires and now
sinkholes in Florida. All these are causing a lot of destruction and in
some cases death. In case of Florida scientists say it is the limestone
below the earth which melts away with too much water as rains have provided
plenty of water. However, I understand in some cases it could be mining
deep under the earth such as potash mines and they may go miles underground
and under some communities. These communities are not aware of it. After

Millions of Brazilians show up to greet Pope Francis
This pope is quite an improvement on his predecessor.
Here are millions of people who believe in the Pope and religion despite
that Catholic Church has troubled past and those troubles are not over yet.
Now these people feel happiness and satisfaction. It gives them some
meaning and purpose in life. Should we take their faith away from them?
Religion does play an important role in peoples’ lives. I am not sure what
to make of it.
