I have been following the US election avidly and like Obama message of unity and change.<br /><br />One thing amazing about Obama's campaign is his donor campaign on the middle class that help him raise more than 600bn$. It is democracy at it's grassroots. He will not need to rely on corporate lobbyists and pursue an agenda for America's middle class.<br /><br />The media loves him, the world loves him. Despite the polarity in America, his message of a centrist policy that both sides can agree is hugely popular. He is the best orator that world has known in the past decades. I loved watching his speeches, very motivating.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/barckobama" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.youtube.com/barckobama</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Tata Nano &amp; Singur  (by: formosa - 2008 Nov 11 @  05:07:55)</title><link>http://www.sitemaze.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&amp;TOPIC_ID=1833&amp;REPLY_ID=12918</link><description><![CDATA[ nano is gone now ... the chinese eyes on singur ..<br /><br />The West Bengal government is going to showcase Singur land before the First Automobile Works Limited (FAW), the Chinese automobile manufacturer, which was in Kolkata.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.dhapa.com/forget-nano-chinese-car-maker-eyes-bengal/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.dhapa.com/forget-nano-chinese-car-maker-eyes-bengal/</a>]]></description></item><item><title>How do you feel without access to a computer ?

He describes how the loss of his job at a multinational bank triggered a rapid spiral into poverty. Having depleted his savings and unable to afford rent, he now sleeps in the back of his car. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /> In the back of my mind, I hoped it wouldn't happen to me. <br /><br />I saw bank workers being escorted off the property, clutching their boxes. It was very chilling to witness departing co-workers. <br /><br />The bank where I worked had already undergone a series of lay-offs in the previous months. <br /><br />I really liked my job and wanted to keep it. I joined in February, and having worked for many years as an IT contractor - with its inherent instability - this position offered the potential of a full-time position. It could become a "secure" job. <br /><br />But when security guards made simple, routine rounds through the cubes and offices, people would look up from their desks. <br /><br />There would be a sigh of relief as the guards kept going. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;I never thought it would ever come down to this, but here I am - homeless <br /> <br />But it didn't happen this time. On a Friday, my manager came to my desk. Usually he came by to ask me if I could put in some overtime. But, just by the look on his face, I could tell. This wasn't an overtime request. This is it, I said to myself. <br /><br />Sure enough, I was told that my last day would be the end of the month. <br /><br />Though I didn't show it outwardly, I was devastated. <br /><br />I would have another month before leaving so that I could start yet another job search. I immediately contacted my agency to let them know that the assignment would be ending. <br /><br />My last day at the bank was bitter-sweet. There was a cake and a card. We joked but inside I was truly frightened. I asked myself what would happen to me now, in such a difficult job market? Would I become homeless? <br /><br />At the end of my last day, my manager came downstairs with me. We had a cigarette and talked. <br /><br />"Bruce, if I can get you back here, you know I will," he said. His words were kind and well-intentioned. <br /><br />My life today has changed dramatically since my brief tenure with the bank. <br /><br />Now I'm facing a very uncertain future. <br /><br />I now sleep in the back of my car, while I wait for a bed to become available at the shelter. I call it The Hotel Honda <br /><br />I'm no longer collecting a nice pay check, going to work every day and returning home at night. I'm no longer a part of the team I so enjoyed working with. <br /><br />Months passed as my savings gradually dwindled. I was only collecting a small unemployment check from a low paying "between-jobs" job that I had prior to signing on with the bank. <br /><br />I had to move from my apartment, put my belongings in storage and find a homeless shelter. <br /><br />I now sleep in the back of my car, while I wait for a bed to become available at the shelter. I call it The Hotel Honda. <br /><br />I keep a good suit and a dress shirt in the back of the car for interviews. I tell recruiters that I'm working. <br /><br />This is not the life I imagined for myself when I graduated from university. I never thought it would ever come down to this, but here I am - homeless. <br /><font color="blue"><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;What galls me the most is that about one third of my income is taxed. I'm taxed on what I earn and taxed on what I spend </font id="blue">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Unlike the Europeans, we in the US don't have much of a social safety net. <br /><br />My meagre unemployment income is too high to let me qualify for Social Services, yet far too inadequate to pay for my home, food, car, utilities and health insurance. <br /><br />I have hypertension, yet I can't afford a doctor, the emergency room or vital medication. I need a corrective eye surgery that I can't afford. Even routine check-ups are out of reach. <br /><br />My meals are taken at a soup kitchen. This is poverty. <br /><br />What galls me the most is that about one third of my income is taxed. I'm taxed on what I earn and taxed on what I spend. <br /><br />Now that I'm in need there is nowhere to turn. <br /><br />Nobody is helping me except for my contributions to my unemployment account. <br /><br />Yet our leaders have found a way to bail out the very institutions that have put myself, and others, at risk.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.<br />]]></description></item><item><title>Beta: Create Homepage  (by: thcheok - 2008 Oct 08 @  19:41:34)</title><link>http://www.sitemaze.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&amp;TOPIC_ID=551&amp;REPLY_ID=12904</link><description><![CDATA[ Dear Sitemaze Administrator, it seems that my website is not working.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />When I click on the website <br /><a href="http://wowchinese.com/member/thcheok&nbsp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><a href="http://wowchinese.com/member/thcheok&nbsp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://wowchinese.com/member/thcheok&nbsp</a></a> &nbsp  <br />only html files appear.
