What a world we live in today! Just a quick skim of the daily newspaper has more power to wake you up in the morning than that first cup of coffee! For instance, a few recent 'expresso-type stories' include:
~ NY’s Gov. Pataki having to issue a ban on all publicly funded Viagra-type drugs after the discovery that 198 convicted level 3 sex offenders (the most serious kinds) were receiving these drugs thru the state!
~ Federal investigators just reported that despite initiatives, only 17.5% of the shipping containers that are rated as ‘high risk’ for becoming vehicles for terrorists are inspected before being put on ships bound for the U.S.
~ It’s been found that up to $30 million are sent from the U.S. yearly through the sale of fake high-fashion merchandise, such as Gucci handbags & Prada shoes by organized crime syndicates tied to Hezbollah, the Islamic militant terrorist group. That’s right, from right here in the U.S. - $30 million a year!
A big news item this week is the fate of the EU's constitution. Despite French President Chirac’s pleas, the French people voted 'no' against the European Union’s constitution, and the Dutch followed suit. Is this good or bad news?
