Why People are Leaving U.S.

As I look into this currency trading business, I learned much of the why of this and that regulations.

Foreign brokers are not allowed to trade with U.S.. Like banks, brokers used to be very localized. But with the global expansion of information communication, a threat has come to nations that cannot share benefit with the rest of the world.

This is not limited to America. When a country and its development are small, the threat is infinitesimally insignificant. But when it has become the hot pot of global attension, humanity is calling that nation to stand trial. After all, with greater power, comes greater responsibility. A country doesn't get big from within itself. America becomes big, because it imports talent.

Therefore, one does not just take, but must give as well. Regardless of regulations and rules and contracts that could legally circumvent the aforesaid problem.

If a country however, only takes and not gives (share benefits), in order just to have all the benefits to itself, to protect the social security of its citizens, an imbalance will irrevocably occur. At which point, social injustice must be committed under legal title.

Therefore, it is no wonder, business owners revoking their citizenship titles in America, just so they could avoid taxation legally. More offshore accounts, emigrations, outsourcing are happening to this nation. In the end, I could only predict, that its Social Security structure, which some have said is a sort of pyramid scheme, will collapse.

Sure, there are those who are proving themselves living in the States unaffected by the aforesaid problems, but has one could easily forecast a bad weather, the greatest harm that could have been done to them, would be non-association from resources they have been importing their benefits from. So they have to wake up, not to cowardly solutions, but to make an impact in history, that by God's will, they are still the salt and light of the world for God, judging social injustice, maintaining a profitable balance not at a national but a global scale. This is not the time to be disconnected and living ignorantly from the rest of the world.

Old Classmate in Dream

Just remembered a strangest dream:

I saw my old classmate, Lee Ching Ling. Somehow on a bus. I think. Bus is U.S. style.

As he was leaving, I asked him for contact info. I believe he tried to leave me Facebook handle...but I remember vaguely...it was mere numbers...I think...158? 588? The numbers made much sense during the dream, but now I either don't remember the numbers or that they are just irrelevant to anything.

Army Suicides

It always awes me, that despite American "superiority", the are so many young GIs committing suicide.

I will say one thing about it:

As long as military chaplains are not willing to sacrifice themselves in the service of God and men, meaning seeing it only as a job, a mean to feed and build their families, this kind of suicide problem is never uncommon.

People tripping on MTA stairs at 36th ST

A few months back, it was realized. Now it is being fixed.

What's interesting is whoever realized it must have a conscientious level of their walk.

How Parents' relationship to God affect Children's behavior

From Calvin's Sermons on Job:

Lo here the cause why children show themselves so loth to be corrected, and why they cannot be kept in awe: namely for that thier fathers are disobedient unto God. And so it is, that both the fathers and the children are condemned here: the fathers for thier negligence in not taking heed to bring up their children in the fear of God, and the children for not suffering themseves to be governed by their fathers.  - pg. 9

Ecclesiastical Problem Today

The problem of many churches today is there is only worship. There is no fellowship. There is no fellowship, because there is nothing in common between day and night, light and darkness, righteousness and wickedness, believers and unbelievers. (2 Corinthians 6:14)

Though worship itself is rarely influenced, lack of fellowship ails the body unhealthily. There are darkness, wickedness, unbelievers, because though they seek the kindness of a church, they love not the word of God. The goodness they speak of, is ruled by their selfishness and pride. There is no sacrifice, there is no piety.

Then it would be the few, like the widow(Luke 21:1) or the tax collector(Luke 18:10), that come towards His holy temple, the house of prayer, with a quiet relationship with God. And the other few, whom God called to judge the world and the pharisees of today (those who twist God's words for their own selfish peace and harmony).

There can be no toleration, with those who received the Gospel and yet justify their sins. If toleration comes from ecclesiastical leadership, then history will only repeat itself.

Windows Vista Explorer problem

Windows, start menu, taskbar icons, messed up.

Solution: Reinstall nvidia graphic driver.

Though, the sometime-not-able-to-copy-paste in Explorer problem still persists. Perhaps it is not relevant to this one.
