[Read more letters about this article: Here]Letting Ahmadinejad out of the bottle
this letter gives an accurate way of representing how this
visit to the US played out in S.America. While watching this speech at the UN, I was intrigued at how he was coming across to others who back this man. He certainly knows how to play his hand. As for the US citizenry/MEDIA, we will never seem to learn that we are being PLAYED and manipulated big time. We as US citizens seem to Not "get it" and not see the overall picture that comes across to the rest of the world.
The Rest of the World seems to have better coverage of the events around the world and how those events play out.
For example, in Brazil on the Brazilian CNN, there was HUGE media coverage, almost non stop regarding the Myanmar MONK and citizens revolt. I get home and see virtually NOTHING and nothing at all on the BLOGS regarding the bloody put down of these MONKS.
What? It isn't HOLLYWOOD enough?
This particular revolt/is critical to the overall status of democracy in that country of Burma, and the rest of the world. As it goes, so goes the US and the rest of the world, including IRAN and Iranian citizens/ Iraqis too.

Downward spiral= new yoga position?
[Read the article: New home sales: The downward spiral continues]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yesterday, flying next to man who consults. In town to consult with US manufacturer of vinyl bathtubs. CO has shut down one plant already and needs to shut down more. Guy was here to "help". Discussion touched on people who got loans that shouldn't, I said, it was a Vicious cycle, as obviously NO ONE, including the bathtub manufacturer, lumber industry, contractors, mortgage brokers, banks, Home Depot, Lowes, appliance dealers etc NO ONE wanted to say STOP...
So, don't just blame the folks that should have waited, you had the MEDIA shouting how much homes were going up, how you should get in now...TV shows showing Fix Flips...making tons of money...WHY wouldn't someone not want to get in before they could never get in again income vs housing costs.
Puleeze.
YOu live in a bubble, guy who lives where houses still sell "fast".
Shoot, we have a presznit who said to SHOP...after 9/11, NOT save and grow slowly or wisely.
