Happy Heart Day!

This is a great Catholic holiday!  And I am pleased that the world agrees and celebrates this day where a priest defies the law to marry individuals.  St. Valentine was a good man.

To my wonderful Husband!  I love you! Thank you for giving me the ABILITY to stay home and write.   I love taking care of our children.  Happy Valentine's Day, hubby!

I HOPE EVERYBODY READING THIS BLOG HAS A GREAT DAY!

Treaty in Space

Russia and China have proposed not to use weapons in space.  This is a good break through.  Weapons do not need to be in space. 

This happened at a conference in Geneva.  It is a shame that the country, I live in, does not want to be held by such an agreement.  

This agreement can be broken by the parties but it is symbolic to how we as a world should be.  This needs to be a weapon free world.  And with large world powers agreeing not to have weapons in space, it is a step forward to a peaceful world.

Both countries have in the recent past tested weapon capabilities in space.  Both countries are powers that can shape this world. 

Great Job!  Keep peace in mind!

Bill paying for the Ukraine

A bill, or other wise called debt, has been called for payment-in- full on the Ukraine.  Russia wants its money for gas given. Today President Victor Yushchenko will be talking to President Vladimir Putin to get something that will not let the gas be turned off.

This meeting foreshadows  a deep world problem.  Debt t spending has ruled the world and some super powers for decades.  Now the people that are owed the money want it.  Soon there will be a world problem.  

This will not affect the supply of gas to the rest of Europe.  Kiev disputes the bill.  The worry is the supply will be interrupted to the rest of Europe as it did two years ago.

This meeting is important.  It will be followed only by bloggers and maybe some world leaders.  We will see what will happen.

South Korea Fire

A fire has partially destroyed "The Great South Gate" or otherwise known as "Sungnyemum"  in Namedaemum.  The authorities suspect arson.  

This land mark was built in 1397 and then rebuilt 1447.  It was built to protect the city of Seoul Korea from invaders, it has been the entrance of the city for 600 years.  

Another one of man's buildings has been defaced by people who do not understand history.  Yes, it was just a gate to some.  But for people who love history it was a national land mark.  This symbol is gone and can not really be rebuilt.  If it is rebuilt it will not be the same.

History is important to learn.  This is such a shame.
