Like most Africans who go to Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt), Barack Obama the first African American President, saw himself in the Pyramid
Back when our President went to Cairo in modern day Egypt to give his historic speech to the Arab community, he did far more than just talk to the folks that now occupy this African land. He, like most Culturally Literate African Americans (AA's), took time to make his pilgrimage to see his ancestors and their work.
What a remarkable spontaneous (what we call insperience) reaction by Obama and Dr. Hawass to the President's interesting relationship to the shiny ones (ancestors).

Let us fast forward from Classical African Civilization, Kamet, past World War Zero (WW0, AKA African Holocaust) and the great names of modern AA history, like Harriet Tubman, Malcolm and Martin to the Present. For as the famous motif of the two lions standing in front of African Buildings remind us, While yesterday (Rt lion) is important and Tomorrow (Lt lion) is important, Today (walking into building between the lions) and what we do now, must be our focus.
Today the President of all the people has a Health Care Reform Bill on the table, that will help all Americans in general, and AA's in particular. Not everyone who should be focused on HCR is, Why just the other day I heard, on the Al Sharpton show, a heated discussion between him and Tavis Smiley regarding the question, has Obama address the needs of the AA community.
Let us take a lesson from the two lions of the shiny ones, Passage of Health Care Reform (HCR) will do more to help AA's and all of America, then anything since the 1960's. The Lions are asking us this Black History Month, where is your focus? What have you done to help this President pass what you hired him to get done for American Health and well being.
Let me close as I began, Black history month (some say African Heritage Month) is almost over and I feel like I missed it because I have used it as an Action Month to be lived today. This February is also the month that Dr. Amen has come out with Metu Neter Volume four, a book about Kemetic transformation. Cosmologically February is the northern hemisphere month to begin change.
I have been Emailing, faxing, calling my congress people urging them to pass HCR and to Stop the McCain Anti-Vitamin bill. The question is, will you join us in transforming this February into a month of Action.
It is never to late for change. Amen!
The reports of the Iphones death because of Android and Windows Phone are exaggerated. Many think that open phones will win in the end and Apple will be left with 10% of the market.
This is an an interesting assessment of the smart phone end game with windows phone and android left standing. The problem for them is two fold the short term and the apple adjustment.
Short Term
Open is the way to go long term. Sort term apple with 200,000 apps has a one or two year lead and their hardware is bullet proof. Any hardware or software problems in the open players could kill them it the public's mind.
I have an Iphone . If I were buying today I would be thinking Android, however, with the announcement of windows phone, this places the old IBM FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) into the game. Android might loose and I would be stuck with a boat anchor. I would decide to get the market leader Iphone, and watch the also rans to see who wins.
The Apple Adjustment
Your end game assumes an Apple steady state that is not likely to be the case. They are the communicator innovator and are likely to stay out front. They have voice now and 4G will probably have multi-tasking, pico projection and video conferencing.
What happens of Apple makes a deal with At&T and every other carrier? What happens if they then go open, hmm. I'm just saying it ain't over till the fat lady sings and she is not on stage yet.
In the short term, I think the announcement of Windows Phone will boost Iphone sales and slow Android/Google Phone sales. Let the Smart Phone wars begin.
