Gathering in Brooklyn for an extremely enjoyable global dinner-date included live music, several Asian and American friends, peng you, yu jin, amigos. Representing various professional backgrounds, we all enjoyed an impromptu get together hosted by Sakae Igarashi-san.
She asked guests to share their favorite music. It was all about a delightful dinner party filled with international music.
I was born under the extreme right-wing dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. My family had to leave everything behind when we fled the extreme left-wing dictatorship of Fidel Castro. I can assure you neither method is best for US.
Neither the authoritarian rule of a fascist nor a crushing socialist is the method to make The United States of America greater than it already is.
This may be the best time for a real refresher on ideologies and historical references that crop up while analyzing the present circumstances facing The US.
You may not realize the depth of this announcement, but the death of Fidel Castro is big news for Cubans living all over the world.
When a strongarmed and tight-fisted dictator like Castro dies, the future of the island is definitely uncertain.
Cuba was my birthplace as well as for generations of The Soto family. My home for the first years of my life will literally and figuratively be "Mi Casa es Su Casa" My home is your home for. And all my friends, neighbors, and followers on social media who have been kind and supportive to me, please know that I will never forget.
Cuba si!
Cuba's Communist dictator is dead. The revolutionary who rose to power and became a fierce caudillo has died, his brother and current President Raul Castro announced Friday night to state media.
Fidel and his brother Raul managed to turn the pearl of the Antilles into a third world island where no one but themselves could thrive, while million fled and thousands died trying to leave Cuba.
This is not fake, this is real news, folks and the warning signs have been ignored for too long.
A year ago, American journalist and political commentator Bill Moyers warned US. He was White House Press Secretary in the Johnson administration. He now serves as a news media pundit and is a critic of the corporately structured news media.

Thanksgiving is the time to show our sincere gratitude for all our blessings. Thanks, for family, friends, mother nature, food, the wind, rains, brother sun, sister moon, for our health and last but certainly not least, for the good earth we must continue to love.
<3 Happy Thanksgiving!
—Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in his Third Inaugural Address, January 20, 1941
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want -- which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.
As an educator, I have found that female students are overall smarter than their male counterparts. They are also better classroom participants.
Now we are told that ladies manage to live longer and enjoy life. Why do women live longer than men in almost every country in the world? A similar pattern of sex differences in longevity is also found in many other species; however, it is not clear if there are more species in which females live longer or vice versa.
