    Destruction of Portable Classrooms Ignores Haiti's Urgent Needs

    "These mobile classrooms have been employed for decades as a solution to school overcrowding in Florida schools. No longer needed due to slightly decreasing school populations, they can be reinvigorated as clinics, schools, government offices, shops, storage compounds and even homes…all of which are desperately needed in the nature ravaged nation now dotted by frail tent cities."

    Deepwater Horizon, The Cheonan And The Need For Better Underwater Defenses

    "Just like the Deepwater incident, the Cheonan sinking presents a nascent but distinct undersea challenge of great technical complexity. We should have been ready for both incidents all along. With decades of military planning by the U.S. and South Korea to counter the North’s threats, the midget submarine attack was a shock to military observers, just as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and its exponential consequences has stunned America. The oil rig explosion and it’s consequences should not be a surprise, as deep-sea drilling, with all its risks, has occurred for decades as well."

    Haitian Recovery- Broadcasting the "Lost City" To Enlighten Rebuilding Efforts

    "The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, established to raise money for Haitian relief, should sponsor and broadcast a daily live show focused on the re-birth of Haiti.

    Distracted Driving Legislation and Mobile Video Conferencing

    "As state lawmakers seek to prohibit typing by drivers, their pending bills are strangely myopic…live video conferencing while driving is not mentioned in pending legislation."

    "As the United States and Russia embark on a new era of nuclear arms control in their effort to replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, a new pact prohibiting unmanned nuclear armed drones seems a survival imperative."

    ClipboardGate and White House Security

    "The technology gap demonstrated in advance of the Obama Administration’s first state dinner is curious. The White House complex is full of intricate detection devices and systems to prevent intruders, but old fashioned thinking and clipboards do not fulfill the mission of protecting the Chief Executive. Any lack of security and adherence to procedures at the White House is a shared emergency for us all."

    Nuclear Negligence

    "We cannot afford to get sloppy when it comes to averting present-day nuclear threats, and yet, with the examples of helium-3 and the joint warning center, ”mistake prone“ is our reality. To err is human, but to commit too much error in these hyper nuclear times may ultimately be inhumane. We must do better."

    Climate Change...Washington Needs To Work Overtime

    "It’s simply not acceptable to assume that the American government cannot pass meaningful and responsible climate change legislation in time for the December United Nations Copenhagen conference on global warming...Congress, if you have to, work overtime. Reduce your vacation time. Labor night and day. Get the job done."
