Eddy Arnold, whose mellow baritone on songs like Make the World Go Away made him one of the most successful country singers in history, died Thursday morning, days short of his 90th birthday.

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?
While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration for perceived errors.
Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Well, why do we need the government to suspend trading privileges?

Last Tuesday, I was privileged to participate in the local “Days of Remembrance” activities at Yavapai College. This is a national commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust established by the US Congress and President Carter in 1982. Most of the ceremonies are locally run during the week of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Day of Remembrance). Tibor (Ted) Rubin was invited to be the guest speaker. Rubin as a youth, was confined to several concentration camps until he was liberated by American soldiers. In gratitude, when he was old enough he immigrated to the US, and worked his way into the Army during the Korean War.
As a result of his heroic actions, he belatedly was given the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Bush. He was an interesting speaker who told with humor and pathos his journey from being a Jewish boy in Hungary to being in a concentration camp to being a hero in Korea. He was the son of a World War I hero and never thought that his life might be in danger because of his Jewishness. I played a minor role as one of six veterans chosen to light candles in memory of the 6 millions who were killed by the atrocities in those camps…

It took half a century to transform Kent State from an obscure teachers college into the second largest university in Ohio, with 21,000 students and an impressive array of modern buildings on its main campus. But it took only thirteen seconds to convert the traditionally conformist campus into a bloodstained symbol of the rising student rebellion against the Nixon Administration and the war in Southeast Asia.
“Thirteen seconds of gunfire at a relatively unknown campus in northeastern Ohio ended the lives of four young people, and permanently altered the lives of countless others. The victims' families, injured survivors, guardsmen, eyewitnesses, and politicians were immediately and directly affected. Many Americans who were shocked by the shootings began to see domestic turmoil in a different light. Our society, deeply divided before the Kent State incident, was in its aftermath completely polarized”
J. Gregory Payne, Ph.D.“You know, you see these bums, you know, blowin' up the campuses. Listen, the boys that are on the college campuses today are the luckiest people in the world, going to the greatest universities, and here they are, burnin' up the books, I mean, stormin' around about this issue, I mean, you name it - get rid of the war, there'll be another one.” Richard Nixon, New York Times, May 2, 1970
