Now that Obama has fulfilled some of his important presidential election campaign promises, I for one, in Canada, hope that his team is going to resurrect the United States of America as a top-shelf economic ENGINE.

The speaker in the "Subway" sandwich outlet is blasting out loud pop music officiously, right above my ears.

I am deprived of my right of choosing not to listen to it. Gee, consumer rights are hard to protect, especially when they are attacked through the air. :-D

In a certain sense, the Canadian way of life is so procedural.

The mysterious Vatican, the Roman Catholic church, has been upbraided for years.

What facility will the Catholicism stand upon in future?

Westerners tend to be less round about religion than Chinese are, it seems.

Should I in the future learn a little bit Spanish, or Italian, in order to become capable of pinpointing groovy music pieces written by magnets born in Spain and Italy?

Sigh. No time.

I think statistics is more artificial than arithmetics, or counting. (But maybe I am wrong.)

Consider "1 + 1 = 2" vs. "P(A intersection B) / P(B) = P(A given B)".

The sample space must be big enough, yet controlled and without outside interferences.

The advancing of the intelligence apparatus of any government is so imperative.

But that must be highly confidential state secrets and I, a civilian, rarely see any information about that in public media.

Sometimes, the essence of a monolithic group is just unsatisfying.

I've been torn between fully embracing the red hot social networking such as Facebook and shunning it.

Straight at the beginning, I had researched on that and found Facebook was a waste a time.

And just now, I googled that again. Still, I've found that Facebook, is a waste of time for individuals. (But maybe it's not the case for businesses.) See this article. Moreover, some people have said Facebook is so yesterday. (Man, that opinion makes me feel good. :-)

So, my personal Facebook account will remain dormant, I expect.
