From Papua With Goals

In the future, please forget naturalization players. Indonesian soccer team might not need them anymore.

Instead, Indonesian team can rely on Papuan soccer players. In 3 games against Cambodia, Singapore and Thailand, 7 out of 11 goals were scored by Papuan players. They are very dynamic, attractive, fast and very skilful. Titus Bonai, Patric Wanggai, Oktovianus Maniani, Stevie Bonsapia, Lucas Mandowen always cast a spell with attacking football. Indonesia will play semifinals and Indonesia pins hope on Papuan players to clinch gold medal.

Indonesia Can Nationalize Freeport!

Some of us might think it is a crazy idea to nationalize foreign concerns who have invested much money here. That’s an unprecedented dodgy action and unachievable, because it infringes a business contract. And the unintended consequence is foreign investors will shy away from doing business in Indonesia.

Is this true?

On American Inequality

According to recent American government study, the richest 1% becomes far richer over the last three decades than other brackets. This situation in part prompts protests from Occupy Wall Street movement who claims as the 99%.

But the intriguing question, who is really the 1%? And why do they become the 1%?

According to Forbes published in 2011, the richest man in America is Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft. Its product overwhelms the world and almost nothing to do with Wall Street’s bad image. In the next list names Larry Ellison of Oracle as no. 3, while Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin/Larry Page, Michael Dell and Bill Palmer as no. 13, 14, 15, 18, and 19, respectively. The list shows the 1% is dominated by dotcom billionaires.
