Labor Strike Continues in Aruba … Who Does it Really Hurt & What Must Tourists Think?

The labor strikes continue in Aruba, but ultimately who is being hurt by the protests? A strike is generally not supposed to hurt the very people that it is intended to help. A protest for higher wages destroying the very economy where the wages are derived. What a concept. Does anyone is Aruba not think that is a tourist was inconvenienced in any manner during their vacation that they will have anything good to say? Arubans are obviously unfamiliar with the concept that when an individual goes to a restaurant and has a good meal they tell a friend, when they have a bad meal, they tell 10.

A number of teachers indicated that they want to resume the classes for the students that need to take exams.  Vice-chair of Simar Anna Tromp said that she can understand that.  Several other teachers also indicated that they want to go back and prepare their students for their First Holy Communion.

One thing is for certain with the on going protests, strikes and boycotts taking place in Aruba … No one can say that individuals who protest for “Justice for Natalee” do not have a right to do so and that they behave themselves better than those striking in Aruba. The right to peacefully demonstrate is one of the corner stones of American Democracy.

Unions talk with governor (Amigoe: 4/21/2008)

The entrance of the Government Building was seriously damaged by fireworks this weekend.

ORANJESTAD – The demonstrating union members that gathered at DOW at the L.G.

Pennsylvania “Keystone State” Primary Today … Can Clinton Beat Obama by Double Digits?

At long last the Pennsylvania Primary is finally upon us. It has seemed like months since the last primary which speaks to the issue that the primary season is far too long. In this contentious battle for delegates between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama the questions remains as the Keystone State goes to the polls, can Hillary beat Obama by a wide enough margin to make Super Delegates question Obama’s electability? Will Hillary Clinton in the final stages of the primaries catch or draw nearer to Obama in the popular vote?

Hillary Clinton’s internal polls have her up by double digits. Barack Obama has all but conceded victory in PA, stating that, “I’m not predicting a win. I’m predicting it’s going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect.”

Controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton’s inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania!

Clinton is polling near to nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state, a top insider explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

A strong coalition of middle-class and religious voters has all but secured a Clinton victory Tuesday, with headline-making margins, the campaign believes.

“It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of how much,” a senior campaign source said Monday morning.

Will it be close in Pennsylvania as some are predicting or will it be the much needed double digit win that the Clinton camp desperately needs? Tune in later tonight for poll results.

Post Natalee Holloway … Parents Get the Message, Teens Unfortunately Do Not Understand Responsibility Still

There is a reason why they say youth is wasted on the young. Mainly because the youth, mainly teens just do not comprehend the complexities and in some cases the common sense of safety. In a post Aruba/Natalee Holloway world one would think that teens would learn from another’s misfortune.

What has happened to this generation of teens and their utter lack of responsibility? And for those that claim its the same from generation to generation, it is not. The You Tube Teens are out of control and seem to have no responsibility for their actions.

A message to teens and college age kids … learn from the story of Natalee Holloway who went missing in Aruba. For those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.

There was a recent Spring Break poll done by Mom•Logic Investigation: Spring Break Confessions.

It’s understandable that 70% of parents were more anxious about what would happen to their children at spring break because of the Natalee Holloway disappearance. But only about 30% of teens admitted Natalee Holloway’s story impacted decisions they made–which is truly scary.
