Happy People.......

Look what I bumped into today: the worlds happiest people website!

Strange the things that you can find on the web - I was led to this by an ABC 20/20 report on Yahoo. It was about Singaporeans being the happiest in Asia - despite the rigid government. Well it goes to show that the majority of humans are like sheep! Duh?

I like what that US man come Singaporean Actor said about smart and intelligent people running the country as opposed to those running Western countries...... uh smart remark. It is what I have been saying all along. "Fachidioten" are our politicians - nothing to do with smart and intelligent. They have yet to prove that!!

I have touched what.....4 - 5 different subjects in two paragraphs?

Will I get deported from Germany now???


PS I used to live in Singapore.... 1980 to 1983.

To drive or not to drive......

Cheap cars = more pollution = more demand on limited oil supply = .........

WAKE UP!!!! For §$&%"§$ sake! Why are car manufacturers striving to create a cheap car? Why are they spending money on developing this "cheap" car?

I read this article and thought:

1. why are other cars so expensive any way. I mean look at the price compared to 15 years ago? More safety - we still have plenty of deaths on the road - can't change the human driver!!! Can we?

2. I thought the oil supply was diminishing? If the car is "cheap", driving it sure as hell will not be!!! More demand on the already limited oil supply will just push pricing up - making it not only expensive to drive for these "cheap" car owners but for us "normal" car owners too.

3. How come no one seems to think about the consequences in the long run!!! Nope I want the big bucks now - I will not be around in 100 years to experience planet earth as a wasted polluted hell hole! This attitude is what got us in this mess! Time to wake up!!!

Then I imagined Jakarta, Indonesia with these "affordable" cars ..... seat 5 huh? Anyone been to Indonesia? Any of you notice the family sedan is a "motorbike"? So why would a family of 4 need a 5 seater when they can fit 4 on a motorbike and still have room for the Christmas shopping!!!

I wonder why can't these car manufacturers develop public transportation!!! Well I know the answer but isn't it time that everyone (I mean every single breathing human being) should start to be more responsible and considerate towards this one planet that we have!!!

Wake up before Mother Nature turns around and forces us into extinction. Read : "A Short History of Nearly Everything" and you will know what I mean!!! Bacteria and viruses have been around longer than us - so think about it!

What to believe....

Before Christmas I remember hearing on the radio that sales were fantastic - better than Christmas 2007.

But look what I stumbled across today while checking on the USD to Euro exchange rate:

German retail sales miss expectations!!!

So what to believe? You can't believe the politicians..... Reports about consumer optimism seem to false unless they are about 3 to 5 months old. Just sit and think about this for a while!!!

Still miss him! Been more than a month now.......
