Little Girl Jackie Chan

If Jackie Chan were 14, a girl and played a slightly mentally retarded kid, this would be his story.

Yanin Mitananda (aka Jajee Yanin) is absolutely amazing!

I saw the movie "Chocolate" that she stars in.

Oh.

My.

God.

Talk about a tough act to follow!

It's a though a Japanese Romeo and a Juliette from Thailand created an autistic female Bruce Lee child with savant fighting skills.

The movie is even more impressive when you find out at the end that the actress Yanin has no stuntmen for any of the fight scenes. This is ALL her kicking butt in a cold, hard war between mobs story.

And they don't cut any slack for Yanin being a female or a child. Without cables or nets or even a chance to really stop and catch her breath, she takes on sometimes 20 men at a time. In a meat processing factory, an ice making factory and along the railings of a three story building there are a plethora of sharp, dangerous objects to be flung around and slammed into.

And unlike with Hollywood films where at the end of the movie you see the bloopers, at the end of this one you see that with the making of every fight and chase scene someone gets honestly hurt. Gushing blood, bruises, neck braces, and endless ice packs follow. They also show a close up of digging broken glass from Yanin's small hand.

Don't let the child star fool you. This is absolutely not a family movie.

It is worth watching though, if you are at all a fan of martial arts, fight movies or girls that can kill butt even if the plot is only there to give her a reason to fight.

Cash For Clunkers = Debt & Gus Guzzlers

Like many things we are seeing coming out of the White House in the last 8 months, the original idea behind "Cash For Clunkers" idea wasn't bad and probably intended good.

Getting older vehicles off the roads that create tons of pollutions, don't have airbags and are less fuel efficient sounds like a good idea.

But as the expression goes "The Road to Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions."

Maybe that's should include all roads from a specif address in Washington DC.

So far, again like many "result", the data collected about plans flung into action to benefit America- have been censored, limited and incomplete.



But what is evident, is that the vehicles being turned in really aren't that bad, and the ones being bought, are expensive and not much better.

It really looks like this additional "stimulus" idea is ultimately going to do much more harm than good.

Sound familiar?

So much for Obama's promise for a "transparent Government"!

A Healthy Attitude About: Money

History Repeating Itself

China has been making the news a lot for very surprising and potentially reeling things.

But with a continent that contains 1,319,175,356 people they can't really do anything small or discrete.

As we saw with the Olympics they have to make an impression. As if they don't have enough population problems on their hands, they've had to quarantine certain areas because of a strain of the Bubonic Plague.

I know. It's the thing of history books. It happened such a long time ago it almost seems like it could have been made up. Something THAT catastrophic couldn't possibly have happened to so many people.

But that's the point.

It's horrible. It's scary. And it's sometimes uncontrollable, but the fact remains: History sometimes repeats itself.

And people who don't study history and learn from the mistakes of others- as individuals, as families, as communities, as nations- are dooming themselves to needlessly repeat mistakes.

Now, I don't know that there is anyway to have prevented this potential epidemic,and I certainly hope it is quickly contained and stopped before anyone else can suffer and die.

But we should certainly pay heed to the past and present and control what we have to make sure they don't become an unfortunate part of our future.

Sucking Your Life Away

Our culture of mindless gaming is draining away youth and ambition.

It's time to fight back!
