This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

"Picasa" is the name of Google's online image organizer and photo sharing program. And that name has something to do with Picasso.
""Picasa" is a blend of the name of famed Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, the phrase mi casa for "my house", and "pic" for pictures (personalized art)."

How to properly interpret the words and teaching in the Bible seems to very difficult, subtle, and ambiguous.
For one thing, in the New Testament, Jesus told people to love their enemies, and 'turn the other cheek' to their assailants (St Luke, Chapter 6). Obviously, the U.S. government didn't follow that specific piece of teaching in its handling of the 911 attack. What would it do if the U.S. were ruled by a Christian government instead of by a secular one, against the backdrop that the U.S. has always been a deeply Christian nation?
What information material of the media's websites is mirrored in SNS sites must be of great interest for the media.

On a related note, in a sense, individual SNS users are sort of like mini news stands which disseminate media material pieces, independent of the media companies.
