A Review - The Law According to Lidia Poët The Law According To Lidia Poët is worth the watch. It is well written. The plots, themes, and dialogue of each episode are worthy of literature. Its plots are intriguing, captivating, and fulfilling with just the right amount of depth to prevent them from being cheap who-done-its. The themes remind the viewers that not much has changed in society from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. Women were fighting for equality as they are now. Poverty and wealth define education, health, and the dalliances of intellectualism. The dialogue is serious, whimsical, and comedic advancing the depth of the characters and their relationships with each other. As a cinematic adventure, it is eye candy with stunning scenery, amazing architecture, beautifully appointed interiors, historic details, exquisite clothing, and charming well-groomed actors. I am in no way attracted to fashion; however, I am truly impressed with the texture, hues, patterns,

                                                            A Review of Maestro in Blue Maestro in Blue is currently topping the charts on Netflix. It is the first of what promises to be more gems produced for Greek television making its way to Netflix. On the surface, Maestro in Blue is a story of a musician brought to a small Island village to reinvigorate the soul of its people during the waning days of COVID with music. His job is to organize and produce a multi-day all-island music festival. The goal is to feature local talent as the air is filled with music, the thoughts of the soul, from every generation.

The characters alone and in relation to each other grapple with love, regret, longing, remorse, greed, corruption, violence, morality, and family dynamics. It explores the themes of classic Greek tragedies ingrained in the culture since the 5th century BCE. It is set on the island of

Cairo or New York City, NY

This spring the world witnessed the citizenry of Arab Countries around the world rise up against oppressive government regimes and demand social and economic justice. The United States Government feigned support for these uprisings with support offered by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama along with a host of Republican and Democratic Party Leadership. Today in New York City, New York in the heart of the Financial District young people are occupying and protesting against the economic and social injustice that has taken hold in the United States. Looking at their future, they see none, as it has been stolen from them by the excesses of the Financial Industry which has thrown the world economy and especially the United States Economy into chaos with their greedy quest for profits over growth and stability. As the World watched the regimes of the Arab Dictatorships kill and arrest the protesters in an attempt to forestall the inevitab

Obama Administration Fails to Inspire

-
As The Obama Administration approaches 100 days in office, there is a lack of an inspirational message to those suffering through the worst Economic Crisis of a lifetime. The Obama Administration was definitely handed a bad situation by the Bush Administration and as they try to unravel it, it appears worse each day. The problem is that the Obama Administration is failing to lead in an inspirational way, instead, they are mimicking a lot of the Republican Policies. The Obama Administration continues to be fixated on rescuing the Banking and Financial Institutions that created the problem using the same argument as the Republican Bush Administration, that these multinational corporations are too big to fail. An inspirational approach would be to rescue middle and working-class families from the depths of despair and as they can purchase goods and services the economy will recover from the ground up, as it should be. To continue the failed approach of trickle-down economics championed b

Poverty Class

-
The United States Department of Health and Human Services released the 2009 Poverty Guidelines. For a single person the Department considers $10,830 as the poverty level. Taking this figure in context that means that the United States Department of Health and Human Services believes that a person can live on $10,831 and not be in poverty. That would mean that the person would be able to maintain shelter, food and clothing for under $30 a day. Since August of 2008, the American Citizen has seen the United States Treasury Bailout multinational corporations where their executives are making in excess of of $5 Million Dollars a year. So the Treasury Department sees the Federal Government as an insurance for the continuation of income for Executives who are earning more than $13,000 per day, while the Department of Health and Human Services believes that a person can live on less than $11,000 per year. The United States Government does not have an obligation to secure the lifestyles of th
