Googler thoughts about Trump remarks regarding Obama birthplace


Although there has been enough proof that Obama is an American citizen, Donald Trump tried to pour in some oil back on the topic. As always lovely Sarah stepped in to boost Trump’s statements about Obama’s birthplace. You might wonder why these things are brought back in the media. I believe there could be a few reasons for that. Firstly, Mr. Trump would like to push himself for the position of the president. Whether he fails or succeeds is another story. 

The second idea is that the ruling class usually tries to shift public attention from real problems and concentrate on trifles, scandals, rumors and other stuff that merely promotes vanity and stupidity of the people who use all possible opportunities to draw attention to themselves and show how they care for others. I believe we have more serious questions to solve than the birthplace of Obama. Of course, if that is true, that would be an ironic fact which has been overlooked before elections. Lies should not be tolerated. However, there are much bigger lies that are placed in front of the society as the truth and media does not bother to write about that. I hope we will become smart enough to see the big picture of what is happening and not run after every rumor that we hear.

Googler thoughts on Japan nuclear crisis

Today on Googler blog I am going to give you a few thoughts of mine about Japan’s nuclear crisis. We would all agree that the earthquake that caused these terrible consequences raises the question whether we should continue relying on nuclear energy or not. Of course, it is one thing for me sitting in front of my television set or pc to speak about those things, it is another thing for those who live in Japan and it is a completely different thing for those who work in Fukushima trying to put the power plant back into control. 

However, it is not a problem that only Japan has to deal with, but the thing has become pretty global now and everybody is involved. Firstly, we see that not everything is under our control and in order for us to continue using nuclear power we need to think of more ways to make our power plants secure. If we are not able to do that, then I doubt if we can continue relying on this source for further supply of energy. Life and health is more important than cheap energy. But if it is possible to do, we should take advantage of any method to create more secure nuclear power plants. 

By regulations of European Union my nation (Lithuania) had to close its nuclear power plant as it had one reactor that was Chernobyl’s type. At the moment we do not have any other source of energy of our own and we are forced to buy it from abroad. This is dramatically reflected in cost that we pay for electricity now. So, if we blindly reject nuclear power, we will definitely see much higher prices of energy production as other ‘renewable sources of energy’ are still much more expensive, be it wind, sun or some thermo power. 

I wish we could switch to them, but at the moment, when economic crisis is still much felt around the globe, investing in these types of energy sources is beyond financial possibilities of most countries, unless they want to get deeper into debt. So, I think we should stick to nuclear energy for the time being and spend more time thinking how to make those power plants more secure. It involves a lot of discussion. Most probably nations which live in seismic zones should radically reduce the number of nuclear power plants. I think it will definitely happen. But closing power plants now would only increase the chances of the second wave of financial crisis, which in my opinion is a real threat even without taking into account what happened in Japan.

What is a googler

Googler is a term that is basically associated with the famous Google Company and the company’s search engine. It is a person who enjoys browsing google.com search engine to find out anything that he/she needs. If you searched for other meanings of the word you would find out many more meanings. I would recommend looking through various definitions of the term in urban dictionary to find what else the term could mean. I personally enjoy browsing Google as I find it very easy to use and find things quite fast. Therefore, the blog would deal with the ideas or interesting things that I find on internet as well as things happening in the world from the perspective of me as a Google.com fan. 

So, each day I am going to share a short post on something that I find online and add my own perspective on that. It can very often be just a few thoughts on some topic such as economy, entertainment, culture, blogging and etc.
