Good Morning

my company arrived safe and sound. we had a late dinner and laughed the rest of the evening.

i promised you some good news today....

headline : Chinese Workers Not Willing To Settle For Sweatshop Jobs Like Their Parents Were. (what a great headline!!)

"Their attitudes and expectations are vastly different from those of their parents, who hunkered down on assembly lines for little pay and helped turn China into a manufacturing juggernaut. Many younger workers won't do the sweatshop jobs their parents did. They grew up with greater prosperity in families limited by the one-child policy. They are more used to getting their way.

"It's true that we're less willing to eat bitterness," Chen said with a chuckle, using a popular Chinese phrase for enduring hardship. "We're better educated. We know we have rights. Times have changed.""
Hoorah for the youth of China. that is very encouraging along with the olympic athlete that thanked her parents and not the state for "robotting her!"

maybe there is hope yet for China and maybe yet.....they will realize that the government only has the power to control as long as the people allow it.

This past week a large bust of an Egyptian Pharaoh was found in a mortuary temple. it was dug out of the sand and identified as Amenhotep lll. he was the grandfather of the famed boy-king Tutankhamun. the bust is carved from beautiful red granite and is believed to be the first complete face of Amenhotep ever found. nice looking King if you ask me.

Hero Of The Day!!!!
there is a great story i read this morning about a man named Luis Soriano. this is a hero! he travels by donkey toting books to villages in Columbia. his mission is simply to save rural children from illiteracy. What a GUY!!!! i am in awe of people who dedicate themselves to the education of children. to easily children slip through the cracks in schools and are left behind due to lack of funding. if i can find a site to send books or funds to Mr. Soriano i will post it.
