I'm all a glow...by SHEIKA FATIMA

Honestly, sweetheart, the Sheika truly loves your glowing critic of my posts. I hope they are not “tongue in cheek” (hmm, did the Sheika use that colloquialism correctly). You are very down to earth and probably the most genuine and sincere poster in these here wild and woolly parts of the great south western US of A.

You are right; architecturally Dubai is unique and fascinating. They have little else to do with their oil money, and they know that time is running out. Eventually, the wells will be dry, or our dependency on foreign oil will be replaced by an alternative. Soon they will be desperate.

There are no indigenous trees or even any cactus in the bleak expanse of desert in the Gulf States. The heat is unbelievably oppressive. There is a fine, choking dust everywhere. Wild life is sparse. No bears or deer or coyotes or bunnies. No babbling streams or pleasant spring rains. No Grand Canyon, no Yosemite, no Yellowstone. There is no natural beauty to remotely compare with what we have here in the States.

Their primitive system of the economic distribution of wealth is based upon lineage and archaic tribal custom. Building methods are oppressive, dangerous and based upon cheap foreign labor—often child labor. In spite of what the emirs and mullahs wish us to think, the whole culture is debasing and hedonistic and it is getting worse.

Again, everyone, please cherish your country and your freedoms.

LOVE, PEACE AND PROSPERITY,

Sheika Fatima

most of whom were paid a couple of dollars a day. Since thats not enough to live on they then have the dubious privilege of buying from a company store on credit, seeing company doctors on credit, and paying for hovels where four or five familes would be stuffed into two rooms monthly on credit. By the time their labor contracts are up most of them owe their overlord the Sultan of Dubai more than they made.
It is nothing more nor less than chattel slavery. They also have nothing to look forward to during their labor contracts but harsh sharia law for the smallest offense.
They arent even allowed on the beach they made with handtools for the enjoyment of the rich and powerful.
All that aside frankly theres not enough money in the world to induce me to set foot in the country that would give Micheal Jackson sanctuary.

But when you think about it it’s not funny. They build that 7 Star hotel in 18 months it’s going take 3 to 4 or more years just to lay 20 miles of track. I got to believe they got enough steel in that hotel to go from here to NY and back maybe more. Forget this I think your pictures on 411 are very sexy and I hope to meet you some day
but I wouldn’t take the rail over don’t want to be late.

Oh Terri you are teasing me again.
