At a time of growing US poverty, hunger, homelessness, and despair, imperial wars without end, and the Obama administration even worse than its predecessor, Venezuela:
I’m becoming anti social and intentionally so (and besides seeking out the company of my four legged friends-pets), I’m avoiding others these days. Yonder and long ago, I used to be an outgoing and gregarious guy, mingling with my fellow global citizens. Not anymore, that’s changed. I have stopped socialising. By socialising, I mean going out with others to an overcrowded (smoke free) restaurant with sneezing and wheezing, obese, slobs coughing, slobbering or burping loudly in my face, without even using a napkin to cover their overstuffed snouts while telling me while masticating to “get back into the markets”.

Americans have elected a president that promises to pursue diplomacy and Iranians have given birth to a popular democratic movement.

German politicians and unions have expressed anger at the decision by General Motors, the US carmaker, not to sell Opel, its European unit, after months of painstaking talks.
