LOOKING BACK @ VALENTINES DAY

Submitted by ub on

According to recorded history, back on February 14, on or about the year 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.

Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was involved in many unpopular and bloody campaigns. The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families.

WHAT'S HAPPEND TO OUR CLASS?

Submitted by ub on

One definition of middle-class is anyone whose life opportunities are optimistic, predictable, or upwardly mobile. Some others would say it's about watching our children succeed and do a heck of a lot better than we've done.

Many individuals used to describe themselves as middle, or upper middle-class because we're all looking to be part of the great society. Most people didn't think of themselves as poor and wouldn't describe themselves as upper-class. But recently we see more families struggling to make ends meet.

UN UNITED?

Submitted by ub on

Government representatives of Russia and The People's Republic of China have managed to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution, which condemns the Syrian government’s crackdown on protests.

At a meeting in the UN, 13 countries voted for the resolution proposed by European and Arab nations that gave strong support to an Arab League plan to end the crackdown and call for President Bashar al-Assad to step aside.

However, representatives for the governments China and Russia have both continued to veto this important internationally supported measure.
