2007-08-16 00:07:00 It was way past 10:00 pm when I came home from a grueling day at the clinic. The wind was rustling about overhead as I paced through the door of our home. I moved towards the nearest couch and plumped myself to rest. Defeat and exhaustion filled my frame as I laid back against the soft cushions. But then I remembered I had not answered my mail and replied to my fellow bloggers.. Galvanized, I scrambled off my feet and immediately headed towards the personal computer situated in my bedroom.Just then, my son dashed out of his room and came straight at me. He was holding a pen on his right hand and a piece of paper on the other."Dad, can you help me with my assignment? It's about the seven wonders of the world," he blurted out while staring at the paper in his grasp.My son's words didn't seem to filter through my mind at first.

Asymmetric Opinion on the New Seven Wonders of the World
2007-07-14 10:49:00 The American Idol-style selection process has its detractors: A paragraph from the press release reads "There is no comparison between Mr. Weber?s mediatised campaign and the scientific and educational work resulting from the inscription of sites on UNESCO?s World Heritage List. The list of the 7 New Wonders of the World will be the result of a private undertaking, reflecting only the opinions of those with access to the internet and not the entire world. This initiative cannot, in any significant and sustainable manner, contribute to the preservation of sites elected by this public."[4] Their opinion's not ridiculous as orchestrated campaigns like those in Brazil skew the results. However, the protestation of UNESCO is uncharitable at best and self-serving and elitist at worst. Why didn't they just thank the group for bringing attention to man's past glories? Whatever. It makes sense to choose new ones. I mean, nobody's ever seen any of the old ones except for the Pyramid a...
