3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money. The cause of the traffic mess is the people themselves so it's only right that those causing the traffic problem should be fined and the fine should hurt. That way, the fines will pay for the cost of enforcing the law. The fines should start at P500 and goes up every week if you don't pay it within 15 days. To enforce this and prevent people from ignoring the fine. It will be tied to their driver's license or car registr...

Psychic's predictions for 2012 -- From 30 years ago

Image
This psychic predicted 9/11 years in advance. What he has for 2012 is unbelievable, and obviously he's been right several before. The guy speaks french, but the video is subtitled in English. Real or a really good fake? What would you do if we were really invaded by alien? I would say to them, "Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong".

Cars 2 was a critical miss for Pixar. But it is still the most reliable maker of great films. Hopefully this movie will bring it back to form. Brave is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humour. It uncovers a new tale in the mysterious Highlands of Scotland where the impetuous Merida defies an age-old custom and inadvertently unleashes chaos, forcing her to discover the meaning of true bravery before it's too late.

2012 The End?

Image
Comet Elenin has arrived and is heading towards earth. It has aligned twice with earth and the sun and on each occasion coincided with one of the most powerful earthquakes in history shifting the earth's axis 8 cm the first time and 25 cm the second. It will pass between earth and the sun later this year. Is it a comet? or a brown dwarf? Here's the date from NASA tracking Comet Elenin . Some say this is not a comet, but actually Nibiru or the twelfth planet or Planet X. It has a highly elliptical orbit around the sun and takes it out way beyond Pluto. It is said that Nibiru takes 3,600 years to complete one orbit and was said to be last seen around 160 BC. Some speculates that Nibiru could actually be the Star of Bethlehem which was seen 2000 years ago. Scary isn't it? I guess only time will tell if this is real.
