My Times

I'm leaving last week's My Times Site of the Week Netscape 2.0 for another week!.
Check last weeks news for additional info.

If you have Netscape 2.0 and Shockwave plug-in, then have a laugh at my "work in progress" homepage!

Can Celine bump Alanis off the top of the Billboard Album chart?
Those of you who know me, know that I have an affection for both of them!
Have you heard Seduces Me yet?

Politics

We watched a movie from the video store about the plight of the people from the Western Government backed Burmese dictatorship.
These people are just one of many countries residents who are living in squalid conditions in refugee camps, crying for our help.
Here is a report I found on the Web.
Other links to read about these terrible events in our world, can be found at Amnesty International and the Red Cross sites.

It's very depressing to think that most of what is happening, is being done in order to facilitate our demand for natural resources and food. A powerful country like the USA can easily stop the vast majority of this waste, by discontinuing the use of the Military Industrial complex to clear the decks for some enormously rich multi-nationals to pillage the spoils of other peoples sufferring.

Golf

I'm recovering my ability to make golf balls fly!
I'm ready for some "hackers" tournament play!
Four!

"The economic nationalism which has grown into as great an evil as our political nationalism has been engendered by a corresponding perversion of Industrialism working within the same constricting bonds of the parochial state."
