Transition

The Anglophonic Youth have reached the stage where a generation has been marked by the arrival to the age of 30 by Prince William of Windsor. The recent healthcare bill has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court in a landmark 5-4 decision as reported on NBC breaking news with respect to issues dealing with the tax penalty.

The summer is now in full swing.  The Championships at Wimbledon are on and going somewhat predictably except for the first round loss by Venus Williams. The Strawberries and Cream are out in full force yet no Bud Collins due to health reasons.

The month of June 2012 marks an important transition in the lives of the generation starting with the 1980's and the rest of the year including the London Olympics, the events in the Europe and the United States will set the tone for the rest of the years.

Tiger Woods has improved to 2nd on the all time list of golfers who have won a title to 74 passing the 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus and trying to approach Sam Sneed's record of 82 titles.

While major sporting events dictate the proceedings other events that are meant to spark pride are occurring because this year is a marker for a number of events, ranging from the event known as the leap second to the independence movement in the former British West Indies in Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago, marking their 50th anniversary with the other islands in the Eastern Caribbean yet to celebrate.  With Jubilee celebrations drawing to a close, there are many socially sensitive events that are occurring from June to November and as the opening up of business in the former British territory of Burma and the election of the Pro-Democracy leader to the position of Opposition leader having recently visited the United Kingdom including her alma-mater on an official visit.

With new freedoms come new responsibilities.  Get Smart.
