Enuff Of Regis, Think World Issues

I stopped watching America's Got Talent . I find it sickening . Same thing with ' So You Think You Can Dance ' . Sorry if you are a fan of these shows . I just find these shows revolting . The TV world is so full of talent contest . Models competing , housewives showing who's better etc. I guess that's the trend. Last night, I decided to be TV less . I just went out and look at the development in our area. Lots of construction . One wonders how come so many people still think of America as the land of opportunites . The jobs are going to China , India and some countries where labor is cheap and enviromental control anf ergonomics rules are non existent. It's true. I once worked for an electronic company in the Far East where waste water treatment was operated only when there was a visitor. For show obviously. Then such things as load and distance of travel by the poor workers were not taken into consideration when assesing workload. Unbelievable. You tell them about carpal tunnel and they would think it some sort of fish living in a tunnel. Will these modern world issues eventually be introduce to them ? Yes , Mr. Global Warming Al Gore will do it !

Running Of The Bulls

The running of the bulls is on its 3rd day . Coming at the heels of the World Cup , this yearly event started in Pamplona , Spain largely unnoticed. To those looking for excitement , this runfest is the ultimate excitement . Why you asked . Imagine a 6,000 pound animal ready to gore you to pieces not to mention the danger of being stomped to death by fellow thrill seekers. As of this morning , the Gore Report is not too bad . There is one seriously hurt and he was not even a participant . He was a sideline observer who got gored by a bull who veered out of the normal path. Too bad.
I know many people who specifically go to Espana for the running of the bulls. It is not enough that they see the beautiful sceneries not to mention the equally beautiful senoritas , they got to participate in the event. Good luck to them.
