Normally the articles I write deal with sports, photography, or sports memorabilia preservation. Now, given that the Beijing Olympics are in progress, the general assumption is that I have an unlimited number of topics to discuss. Needless to say this article is about a different topic occurring in the news. This topic actually affects my life and the lives of the people that I hold dear in my heart. The problem is that over a week ago Russian troops invaded The Republic of Georgia.

We live in a cynical age where the values of truth, honesty and integrity seem to be cruelly lacking, especially among politicians. Here is an example of impeccable political integrity out of Africa. It is not Nelson Mandela, but Mr. Mandela would certainly be proud to have his name mentioned in the same breath with this sterling example.
This U.S. Congress has the lowest approval rating on record; nevertheless, both guys who won their parties nomination were members of this disgraceful assembly. The United States is a country so starved for an ounce integrity and vision that its citizens have stampeded like a frighten herd of cattle in a hail storm to the words of a junior senator who at best has done the minimum of what should be expected of one in that position.
