Happy Early New Year!!!!

Let's see if in the news, people of the world are becoming more conscious of each other and the basic needs.
Canadians were polled about trusting scientists and their opinions.
- 71% somewhat trusted them about medicines.
- 65% somewhat trusted them about climate change.
- only 45% said they somewhat trusted them about modified foods. (genetic modification)

Swapping Guns For Groceries
In California this Christmas, swapping guns for groceries took place. (amazingly, the article appeared in BBC and not in MSNBC) thousands of handguns, rifles and semi/automatics were traded in for food cards at a grocery store. Sadly, the police noted that these people with these guns probably would not have been involved in gun deaths. This leads me to believe that America still needs the big stick to feel good.

The Fiscal Cliff
Since people and corporations of the USA seem to be getting farther apart in capitalism, the Cliff has arrived. This will determine who pays what?? The interesting part is.....will corporate finally pay?

Apple CEO
Looks like Apple CEO is taking (or was handed) a pay cut. It is down to 4.2 million. Big deal. What has this guy done for the world??? Has he fed the poor, donated to charity, cleaned up water or slowed pollution? NO. No one deserves to be paid that kind of cash.

Private Zuckerberg Family Photo
A photo of Mark Zuckerberg's sister appeared on a site. She did not seem to be happy that it went public. Sorry to tell ya, but if you create that allows public access, you bear the consequences!

FINALLY .... the world's most POLLUTING COUNTRY! Congratulations CHINA for this esteemed accolade. How sad that a country that supplies most of the material goods in the world to other countries tops this list. Most of the free world trades with or is debted to China. Who is the real superpower now?!

Is there any nice news???

Calgary man creates a giant FREE ice rink for the public...get your skates on Alberta.

Muslims and Catholics come together for a food drive in London, Ontario.

Santa uses sign language to speak to a deaf boy.

Swiss Parliament to pass legislation to BAN plastic bags. (will the rest of the world do the same?)

ALL I COULD FIND....sorry!
Happy New Year World!!!! (see if you can create some good news this year for the world)
