On the night of Sunday March 21, 2010,  a majority of the democrats in the United States Congress gave President Barrack Obama a taste of what the changes he stands to represent, could be like. They passed the health care bill that has had the whole of American polity fighting each other since Obama became president. All the republican members of congress, along with 33 members of Obama's own party, voted to kill Obama's heath care reform bill. But because of the mandate for change, which gave Obama and his democrats in congress a majority, 219 democratic congress people were able to give President Obama a victory only supported grudgingly, by his party people.
      Is this a sign of how Obama will have to fight throughout his presidency to get the changes he wants?. Unfortunately, this is opening the young president's eyes to the harsh realities of politics in America as he watches his popularity plummet to dust. It is a sadder reality to face for the people who elected the first African-American president in history to undo all the carnal wrongs of his predecessor.
      These political trends have inadvertently made it impossible for the American people to keep up the faith that Obama is "the one". Even President Barrack Obama himself, has began to shift. The walls he has had to run into, have shifted him, instead of him shifting the walls.
      With so many more "changes" still being called for, will Barrack Obama be able to effect all the changes that were demanded for, and promised in the euphoria of the presidential elections when the choices were between himself, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, to bring on the change that American people desperately needed?
      True, electing Barrack Obama was the first of these changes that the American people sought. But it seemed that many people had their foresights limited past that first historic change. Barack Obama seemed like that "radical" to bring the "radical" changes that America needed, to stop all the wars; set the prisoners free, and bring all the soldiers home. More changes are even needed far beyond all that, but you will see that you have to look beyond Barrack Obama's ability, even if he is willing to change the United States of America.
      As long as the American public are so apt to often believe in "misinformation", and hypes, and trends, no significant change will ever succeed in the American polity. The only "possible" change after the one of the election of Barrack Obama, is in one.

NATURE'S STUDY
 
Take a close look at this plant. You can not eat it; you can not smoke it. It can traumatically harm you. Yet it carries it's significance for the Mayan people in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, as an ancestral tree.

This is a young plant of the Chichen tree that can grow and shoot into the majestic skies like any tree of the amazon or the Iroko or Baob tree.

The sap of the Chichen tree is white like milk, but will burn a whole through your skin on contact. A red stemmed tree named "Chaca" is a neutralizer for the Chichen sap, and is legendarily nearby where Chichen trees grow.

The presence of the Chichen tree in certain positions on peoples lands is considered to have a spiritual blessing. The wood of the Chichen tree when it is cut down and the sap is dried, is harmless and is considered one of the most precious wood for building in the Yucatan peninsula and all over the world.
