Driving Range



Is it you play golf or you golf? Well anyway, I'll be at the range today pretending the balls represent Lebanese/Syrian figure heads implicated in the Mehlis report. Hasta Manana!

Dear anonymous visitor:

Just a thought

THE MINIATURE EARTH . online version

If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this:

61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 Americans (from North and South America)
13 Africans
01 Australian (Oceania)

50 women
50 men

67 are not christian
33 are christian (Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox)

6 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community

13 are hungry or malnourished
14 can't read
only 7 are educated at a secondary level

Of the village's total annual expenditures of just over US$ 3,000,000 per year:
US$ 181,000 is spent on weapons and warfare...
US$ 159,000 is spent on education...
US$ 132,000 is spent on health care.

If you keep your food in a refrigerator
And your clothes in a closet
You are richer than 75% of the entire world population.

If you have a bank account
You're one of the 30 wealthiest people in the world.

25 struggle to live on US$ 1.00 per day or less...
47 struggle to live on US$ 2.00 per day or less.

Work with passion
Love without needing to be loved
Appreciate what you have
And do your best for a better world.

Is it really Happening?

56. Lebanon is witnessing a momentous transition. Events that have taken place in the country since 3 September 2004 have led the people of Lebanon to pierce a wall of silence and speak out loudly and clearly. Taboos of the past have been broken, and matters previously too sensitive to discuss openly are now the subject of open debate. Over the past six months, with the first parliamentary elections held after Syria’s withdrawal from Lebanon and the formation of a new government, Lebanon has entered a new phase in its history, a phase that has the potential for the Lebanese to finally leave behind a tragic past, to unite, and to shape a new future of self-determination, independence, coexistence, and peace. (Second Semi-Annual Report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council on the Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1559 (2004) 25 October 2005)
