Zimbabwe at the Crossroads
Zephyr writes:
Zimbabwe's prolonged suffering from 1999 to the present has been blamed on the despotism of Robert Mugabe. The evidence cited includes mismanagement of the economy, human rights violations and election irregularities. However, the transition from being a supported member of the Commonwealth to a vilified nation occurred through policy changes towards Zimbabwe from Western countries in response to Mugabe's land redistribution policy and to his incursion into DR Congo. Up until Zimbabwe's change in its policy towards DR Congo and to the land question, there had been a general agreement on the efficacy of his government. Mugabe was even hailed as a hero of democracy by the Queen of England and knighted in 1994.

The Criminality and Fraud Continue
JrsWriter Writes:
A major sting is about to be consummated that would make Danny Ocean and his crew blush with envy. The difference between George Clooney's fictional character Danny Ocean and the real Wall Street rip off artists is, Ocean picks on the rich, guys who can afford it. While Wall Street targets you dear taxpayer to foot the bills for all the avarice, fraud and criminality that have brought US financial markets and the economy to its knees and threaten a global implosion.

*NEW* Q of the Day: A Tear for KG
Rudeboy writes:
"Growing up in my neighborhood anything coming out of Boston was to be hated due to the racist attitude coming from the folks living in Beantown. But this was different, a team full of brothahs, coached by a brothah with one one of the most respected and liked player in the NBA Kevin Garnett. Watching him tear up in that interview had me choking back tears. I was tearfully happy for KG for all the hard work and dedication he's done in his career. It's good to see one of the truly good guys including Ray Allen to win the NBA crown.

Fingerprint Drill
Jackie Jones writes:
I am about to be fingerprinted - for the second time.
I have spent my entire life trying to avoid what I believed would be nothing short of ignominy. I recall when the police set up kiosks at a mall to fingerprint children to help identify them should they become lost or kidnapped. I thought to myself that the last thing a black child needed was his or her fingerprints on file with any law enforcement agency.
