When the U.S. Constitution was written some two hundred or more years ago, there was no internet and no Terrorism, computer was not invented and the United States was a small country. But this new wave of terrorism along with increasing travel between countries and immigration has put a strain on the international laws which is trying to keep up with these new times.
The First constitution with its freedom of speech and religion and assemble peacefully and other amendments are under increasing stress to define its place in this new violent age. Although the U.S. Constitution has really stood the strains of time, but with terrorism, there is a new sort of confusion of how to apply it to terrorists’ subjects.
Some argue that since terrorists have threatened the lives of the citizens of the U.S. they should be tried in U.S. courts and dealt with according to the U.S. constitution and some say that since they are not U.S. citizens and we are at war (although a different kind) our laws and rules don’t apply to these non citizens. Nobody has clearly defined how to treat with these people, since the constitution is silent about this matter.
According to my analysis, since these people are not under any illusion that they are fighting a holy war without any laws, we should be dealing with them in the same manner, because to apply the Geneva Convention will be wrong because if some American is captured by terrorists, they will be dealt with according to the codes of the terrorists. Geneva Convention, I believe applies when both the warring parties are signatories to it. But since the terrorists don’t adhere to any laws, we should be free from using any civilized laws to deal with them.

Jobs on the internet job boards
According to new estimates, there are 3 million new jobs vacant; I assume this also includes jobs posted on internet job boards, which is the topic of my discussion. I usually send my resumes through the internet, but I rarely get a response from the actual company, just the job board that your resume has been sent. And I see so many new jobs opening but the rate of joblessness is not coming as fast as the jobs are being posted or filled. If three millions jobs are out there, then the jobless rate should go down considerably but it does not. My point here is that all these job postings require so much experience and specific skills that even if millions more jobs are posted, they will rarely be filled.
Now in this fast paced environment, no company has the time to teach new skills to their new hires, they want a ready made person, so he or she can get down to work right away, it is like a parent may want to have a ready made graduate child so they do not have to spend time to raise them. It is really ridiculous because in the unemployment lines are people who are skilled but they are not “young” or they don’t have the right skill set, so what should we do with them. Since the employers are in the drivers seat and can pick and choose, so unemployment will remain high and most of the people with experience not relevant to the requirements will remain unemployed or will try to find any job wasting their own experience and reducing the growth and productivity of the U.S.

More would be home grown Terrorists
So what is going on with these so called home grown terrorists, don’t they have nothing else to do then to wage war on their own benefactors or are they really mentally bankrupt. Do they really think that by killing innocent people, they will gain entry to heaven and enjoy whatever their twisted minds and teachers have told them that they will have. While these same masterminds’ sits comfortably in their homes grooming half baked minds to blow them selves up and end their sorry and pathetic lives.
To tell you the truth, I am really sick and tired of these so called wanna be terrorists with broken records repeating the same old complaints about how the U.S. is doing this and that to the Islamic world. And the only way to stop this is to blow them up. To be true they are just a sorry excuse for being a human being and I do appreciate the work of Law enforcement agencies of foiling these people’s evil agendas. They should be locked up for life without much trial (as it is a waste of our money, since they have already confessed to their crimes).

Now it is Britain’s turn to cry debt
As the New Prime Minister of Britain has recently acknowledged, they are in deep trouble and deep cuts will have to be made to their budgets in order for them to get out of the more than $ 1 trillion in debt. Their budget deficit is now more than $ 200 billions and all this with one fifth or one sixth of the U.S. GDP.
How did they got into so much debt, well it is the same usual story, blame it on your predecessor and say that the debt is worse than what they thought it would be. How are they going to manage this mess will be an interesting case study of how to avoid debt. Although Britain did the right thing of not entering into the Euro Zone and as such they can devalue their currency to gain a competitive export advantage, but the markets are now too smart to figure this out easily. The best way for Britain is the now to reduce their spending even if it is too painful for people otherwise with more people packed in a small area and being possibly having to offer higher rates to investors (if they do not control their spending) , Britain will see their global role diminished in the future.
