Borneo – Eco-Adventure and Cultural Diversity in the Land of Headhunters
The third largest island in the world, Borneo is a tropical paradise housing the oldest and most bio-diverse rainforest on earth, endless pristine white beaches and an abundance of national wonders. Borneo is divided between Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia, the largest territory being appropriated to Malaysia. The two states of Sarawak and Sabah, separated from mainland Malaysia on the west by the South China Sea, make up Malaysia’s part of Borneo.
As large as it is, Borneo is still a microcosm of spectacular flora and fauna, housing the Rafflesia, the world’s largest flowering plant, and the scary, insect-digesting Pitcher plant. As well, Borneo is home to unique animals, among them the shy Orangutans, the rare and unusual Proboscis Monkey and the ludicrous Bearded Pig.

Blaring Double Standards in the Cultural Diversity Movement
In Massachusetts a judge recently said that a parent’s authority concerning their children ends at the doors of the public school. This was the answer given to parents who were at arms over the teaching of the gay lifestyle to their children in the public school. They were told that they had the option to send their children to private schools or home school them if they could not abide the rule.
In Philadelphia a man witnessing about his faith in Christ received death threats and was told his adherence to the idea of marriage being between only one man and one woman is perverted. Using the P word when referring to homosexuals can raise the ire of any number of gay activists or groups not to mention that in some states may lead to a law suit. What happened to “whatever is good for the goose…?”
