      Dams : A Blessing or Curse?

      Posted by Orato

      The debate of whether dams are a blessing or a curse depends on which side of the fence you are. Over 48,000 dams are in operation worldwide for providing drinking water, irrigate land, produce Hydro-Electricity and prevent floods. Yet, today, over one billion people do not have access to safe drinking water.

      Who Else Is Guilty And Of What?

      Posted by Orato

      Ever wonder why Dinah Taylor and Pat Casanova were released from jail after they were picked up in the beginning of this Pickton mess? Regarding Dinah, I've wondered, 'Will they have to pick her up again and bring her to justice?' I am certain that I’d put her away. At the very least, she was living off the avails of a prostitute by pimping girls. The defence's questions are bringing up the question of whether or not people other than Pickton had something to do with the missing women...

      The Lump

      Posted by Orato

      first discovered The Lump when I was about 18 years old. It was in my left breast, over my heart. I’d recently been through a tumultuous adolescence, and so, still shaken, I was convinced I had cancer. I knew I was technically too young to have breast cancer, but the trauma of my teen years convinced me that I was one of the unlucky ones. I went to the doctor.

All these years living amidst political tension prevents us from living a normal life, but we love Lebanon.

      I Now Know Who Killed My Friend

      Posted by Orato

      It was my first day back in court. Something deep inside told me I needed to go no matter how I felt. I followed my instinct and it turns out I got my question answered...The question that I'd carried deep down inside since the day this trial began. How did my friend Jackie get to the farm and why did she go? I knew she was a little naive when I first met her and I'd told her to "Go home, get away from the streets."
