America (the UN-Loved)

Some of my readers may know that I am Canadian, therefore I'm going through the immigration process to become a citizen in the United States of America.
Part of the process is to be finger printed. I had to go for my second finger printing appointment today. What a difference from the other two times when I was at that office.
The other times it was packed. If you came early, to bad you had to wait for your appropriate time. Then, you would have to wait a good hour to hour and a half to be seen! Today I was in and out in 15 minutes.
There was no line, there were just the workers and two other people in line!
Well, what could it possibly be? Could it be that nobody wants to come into America anymore? Could it be the lack of jobs?
I spoke to the lady who was finger printing me. She said that there has been a substantial drop in traffic that comes through that office. She also said that it could be the season.
I think its probably a little bit of both, although I've got my money riding on the awful economics of this country!

How sad :-(

CRIME IN CANADA

Now this is a sick and twisted news clip. If you do not have the stomach for really sick things, do not read the article. In short this article points out that a man was murdered on a greyhound bus.

Maybe I’m just extra critical but it seems that there is nothing anybody could have done to stop this from happening. Or is it because people were too busy trying to get the bus to stop and running away from it? Is it the fact that in the North American society people are more worried about their well being then in trying to save a persons life?

I have ridden the greyhound bus often to numerous locations in both the U.S and Canada. My experiences for the most part have been very positive. Except for a few times when I’ve noticed that a lot of crazy people ride the bus, other than that, it’s a pretty good experience.
