There are so many wrangles in the American, Canadian, and Taiwanese parliaments. Debate, debate, debate.

It appears that democracy and wrangles go hand in hand.

I sounded several popular installed media player software programs. Among them are iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Real Player. And I still think Real Player provides the best sound quality, comparatively.

Good advertisements sort of play on people's feelings. That's a must.

Linkedin.com tends to pester users with emails about more available information which essentially are meant to remind people to use more of their services and stay longer on their website.

But hey, it'd better to stop badgering users, otherwise, they'll jump ship as soon as competitor companies emerge.

How to break the things and habits which throttle my creativity? Break through them.

I had been somewhat unmannerly in some situations in the past. Civilization comes from enlightenment and civil education, not schooling.

Some people who are in their fifties or older habitually ignore the quarry of the internet, to their own detriment.

Personally I've never used Facebook much. And Facebook has never passed for some profound innovation in my mind.

Maybe I've been too numb in that arena. On the other hand, maybe I've been right in my consideration about it.

Modern life is so complex that people can't help with getting hit by stray bullets from all sorts of misfunctions of the societal and economic systems.

The stock markets tumble. Pensioners' funds lost. Whoops.
The Greeks cannot pay back their debts. Jobs creation in Canada slapped. Whoops.
On and on and on.

Complex systems, such as the societies which we live in as modern human beings, are prone to producing rounds after rounds of stray bullets. Stay out of trouble if we can. But how on earth can we?

Google+ has been brought to the fore and gaining popularity. Facebook must be a little nervous about that.

I've never grown into a fan of Facebook.

The howls of the Montreal winter blasts aren't far away.

People's feelings are seasoned.

Does the free flow of information really facilitate the free flow of intelligence?

Anyways, when the former gets strangled for some political reasons, the latter suffers.

Musty are some old residential buildings in Montreal.

In my childhood, there was a tall wooden one-bar main door in the house which my peasant grandparents on my mother's side used to live in.

The word 'wench' must be rarely used nowadays.

I'm not sure if China's REAL GDP growth rates are that gleeful, on the magnitude of 9% or so.

Shouldn't China hire an auditing firm to audit its GDP data?

The saga of the overthrowing of Gaddafi's reign in Libya by rebels has only taken about half a year to reach nearly the end.

Without the support and supply by the U.S., U.K., U.A.E. and the like, anti-Gaddafi forces such as the National Liberation Army (Libya) wouldn't be capable of mobilizing and organizing so quickly and effectively, we can guess.

Well, the global consumers' confidence in Chinese products' quality may have been gradually built up. Just don't let it be dismantled.

I don't know why the opposite of "explicit knowledge" is called "tacit knowledge" instead of "implicit knowledge".
