Watching Kids-A crime?
“Lisa Snyder, a stay-at-home mom in rural Michigan, says she was doing her neighbors a favor by watching their kids for about 20 to 30 minutes each morning before the school bus arrived.

One by one each morning a different group of kids would arrive at her Middleville, Mich., house to wait with her 7-year-old daughter for the bus’ arrival. Snyder, 35, couldn’t have envisioned that her act of charity could possibly land her in jail.”

http://abcnews.go.com/US/michigan-mom-shun-daughters-schoolmates/story?id=8712305Where are we to punish people watching kids?Where is human consideration and gregariousness?Is US heading totalitarian way by not allowing people to express their feelings under the guise of “protecting individual privacy’
If watching kids is a crime, then none should depose as a witness for any criminal offence.Any thoughts? -
Who contols Pakistan?
Primarily InterServices Intelligence.This composes of personnel who belong to one party or other.Depending on who comes to power, particular group becomes active and powerful.Also there are moderate Muslims and hard liners.This is another mix.There is another group which wants the Army to control the country.
Hardline fundamentalists have a field day by projecting themselves as Martyrs of Islam.They command the loyalty of a section of Politicians.
Politicians have time only to be corrupt and wheeling and dealing; they will take any line to bring them to power.
To this medley is Pakistan’s strategic location and its proximity to China. West and US play a part in stirring the cauldron.Any or all the elements combine with any or all of the other groups.Depending on expediency and their writ runs.
The calyst and eventually the controlling force is terrorists.They are not a separate class. Any of the groups or a combiantion of the groups, control Pakistan,aided and abetted by the terrorists.
In effect, no body, least of all Pakistanis, know who is controlling Pakistan. -
America-as rest of the World sees it
America is a country of lofty ideals and pragmatic compromises;land of opportunity and discrimination;well meaning in ideas but bullish in actions;pretends to succour the world to help itself;tries to be just to all sections that make America, but treats immigrants condescendinly;land for the rich,but pretends to be for all;yearns to be moralistic, remains amoral.
Its cultural identity is yet to be marked.
In short well meaning adolescent in its actions. -
Health Care- US.
One thing is sure .US Government is subtle in promoting Big business. In India, it is done quite openly and brazenly.In Tamil Nadu,A state in India,the State Government arbitrarily deducted premium for personal health care from govt.employees for a multinational insurance company.Federal Govt. openly sold Spectrum band licences for about Rs 2000 crores which could have fetched Rs.60,000 crores, other wise.(Rs 50=1$).This is just a tip.Be happy in America, for there seems to be atleast some subtlety.None can save us from the politicians or from big businesses.
