Chile is proud

All of the trapped miners in Chile are about to be rescued. The engineers have gotten 29 out already. Chile should rightly be proud of this terrific accomplishment. Even the President of the country is present at the rescue site. Of course, they had technical assistance from many different countries but we should keep this in mind: they were not too proud to ask for help. The rest of the world should learn from this. Chile, as I have said before, pulled itself out of a cycle of poverty in less than twenty years. We need to ask them how they did it.

Chile and Haiti

Here, we have a great opportunity to learn. We have Haiti on the one hand and we have Chile. Chile has worked its way out of poverty. Study everything it has done right. Haiti is still poor. Very, very poor. Study everything Haiti has done and DO NOT DO AS THEY HAVE DONE. It is that simple. Be honest. Use your imagination. Stay healthy. Get educated. Use your talent for something positive. Work very hard. Save money. Develop good relationships with your neighbors. Fight crime. Be constructive. Okay, you can go now. So can this topless woman. I think she was going to leave anyway.

Right wingers

They say that Chile could not decide (in recent elections) on whether it wants a new right wing or an old left wing party to govern. They will have to schedule a runoff election for January, 2010. I was surprised to learn that Chile is the most prosperous country in South America - thanks to copper. The Middle East has its oil and Chile has its copper. The poverty rate there is only 13%. It used to be 40%. Other countries should learn from it. How did they do it? Who did they learn from? Nobody is born knowing anything so they had to learn it from somewhere. I want to know. This topless woman might be from Chile - if I find her, maybe I can ask her.
