What's Better In The News For People Who Want Honesty And Choices, Not Deception and Orders

What's Better With Drones? A drone killed the leader of the Pakistan Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, in the North Pakistan tribal areas. His insurgents are closely related to Al Qaeda. This drone attack marked only the 23rd such attack in Pakistan this year. Drones are being used much more infrequently.  Drones are safer for Americans and can be launched much quicker than the Navy Seals and other special operators, but drones do kill innocents and destroy property. Special operators can sometimes bring out the wanted person alive along with all his intelligence records and minimize death of innocents and destruction of precious buildings. Drone kills make a lot of enemies, but even Navy Seals find some situations too dangerous for a raid.
What's Better With Ford Motors?
  India's Tata Motors has created a new car for first time car owners that costs as little as $2,000. But it's barely selling. The car was introduced as merely a step-up from a motorcycle or scooter. This was hardly exciting and not very respectful to potential buyers. Also, the car was tall, looked tippy, and had no premium features, such as chrome. Now Ford has stepped into the picture with a "Ka." This is not an automobile for New Englanders but for the same poor people all over the world whom Tata was targeting. The difference is that Ford is not only selling an inexpensive car but self-respect which is something that poor people particularly want. Ford is doing this by not advertising that its car is only a step above a motorcycle. Ford has build the Ka so that it is not tall and tippy looking but wide and low. The Ka has chrome and exudes a premium look. Its owners can feel proud of their first car and give their motorbike a rest. Let me say that Americans are proud that people all over the world are finally able to buy a car. America is all about freedom and prosperity for everyone. I know that message gets lost
all too frequently.
