"Michigan Governor Granholm Prohibits Gender Expression Discrimination" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-07 09:27:44

This is awesome news! I'm glad that Governor Granholm isn't waiting for our federal government to get its act together. Not only does this bar discrimination against transgendered people it also prohibits discrimination against het queer and gay people whose appearance or identity doesn't match with what some may deem gender-appropriate. It's nice to see someone doing the ethical thing even when it's unpopular with certain segments. This can only spread to more places. Once such laws are in place they are difficult for future administrations to undo. Once you recognize rights people aren't going to allow you to take them away without a fight. I wish I lived in Michigan so that I could vote for Granholm in whatever political position she seeks in the future. The fact that a woman did this is even more impressive. It shows how much we can accomplish when we abandon the idea that we are unable to do anything except what men allow us to do. When we truly claim our power no freedom can be denied us. I'm not denying the fact that there are forces that oppress women or that we are often disadvantaged relative to other groups. However we are more than just victims. We are capable of controlling our destiny. That's the message I want to pass on to my daughter. If we claim that men are in total control over the world then we're not even giving women credit for the things they accomplish. That just doesn't seem empowering to me. I just want to clarify that this order covers only those employed by the state; it does not protect those employed privately (which would be the majority of employees in the state. I'd think). That's really good and especially good that it seems to protect *all* kinds of gender expression. Woo Michigan :) Queen Emily,Yeah isn't it funny how "pro-transgendered" advocates/activists support and create legislation that protects all kinds of gender expression? Why is it so hard for those who are "anti-transgendered" to do the same?I know which one I consider to be the more ethical position to take. Above all else. I am proof that having an incurable cancer doesn't mean that your life is over. I am also the mother of a gifted child who has been an artist since she was born. We live in the southern part of the beautiful state of Louisiana. I'm a biology student on hiatus as I heal from treatment. Besides English. I can speak Arabic a bit of French and Spanish and nothing more than a few phrases in German but I'm working on it. I love cats and plants even though I only have 2 of each. Some of my friends call me Tulip. You're free to do the same.

"Shortage of Private Jet Parking at UN Climate Change Conference" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 08:53:01

It's not easy being a U. N bureauweenie. They approach serious challenges — like where to park their private jets when they fly to tropical paradises for global warming conferences. Next month the will be held in Bali. It goes on for two whole weeks; it would be a shame for the bureauweenies to fly all the way to Indonesia and not get a chance to enjoy the beaches for awhile. In addition to sipping elaborate cocktails with umbrellas sticking out of them and working on their tans. U. N officials hope to effect "a breakthrough in the form of a roadmap for a future climate dress deal" now that they have already "put the reality of human-induced global warming beyond any doubt." In other words somewhere between sunbathing and hors d'oeuvres they would like to undermine national sovereignty and impose worldwide poverty in the name of a discredited hoax. But it's not all fun sun and world domination. They must encounter real problems too reports: [T]he management of Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport are concerned that the large number of additional private charter flights expected in Bali during the December 3-15. 2007 ordain exceed the carrying capacity of apron areas. To meet the added bespeak for aircraft storage officials are allocating "parking space" at other airports in Indonesia. It's not easy having to deal with issues like where to park the private jet while deciding on the sacrifices to be imposed on us little people in the name of the global warming power grab. That's why U. N bureauweenies make the big bucks courtesy of our tax dollars. I wonder if they'll alter do without the AC blasting down there to help global warming. Typical peak temperatures in Bali next month of 88 degrees with 70 % humidity. Would you like an honest analyse of anti-American terrorist-inspiring warn porn flick Redacted? ".. took in just $25,628 in its opening weekend in 15 theaters which means roughly 3,000 populate saw it in the entire country." Time to shut the doors and raze that eyesore in lower Manhattan? desire since that measure. IMHO. Let's found a new organization (Neal Boortz for one suggested this desire ago): the United Democratic Nations (UDN) where only proveably democratic nations with a history of said practices to include remove elections freedom of movement etc. may join. Simply do away with the corruptocrats (i e. the scum who now run the United Nations and its idiot bureaucracies like the IPCC) and the world would be so much a better place. .

"Taking Art Private" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 02:41:27

This ingeminate captures the essence of the idea behind decrease Art and the cerebrate I started blogging over a year ago. Russell’s advocacy for a more personal one-on-one art experience–an art that has gone “private”–runs against all the tendencies of our culture. The sentiments Russell expresses inform me of one of my grow heroes. Craig Newmark founder of Craigslist org. change surface as his social networking place is valued in the billions of dollars he is not interested in selling out. When asked why this was his say: He has talked about starting the place in his forbear measure as a service to the community and it just kept expanding. “I believe people are overwhelmingly trustworthy and good.” By taking that come the site has change state a massive compel of its own. When something authentic and powerful goes against the drag-it-down current of conventional wisdom who knows what will open up? I long for these new points of believe new ways of thinking a shift in the consciousness. When my create and I visited galleries he would sometimes say to me. “Which of these pieces would you like to take domiciliate?” I think he had that hint believe of art that it was important to interact with the art on a personal level despite its obviously public stature. A little “air” keeps art fresh but I think Russell is right that buzz is destructive. It interfere’s with the viewer’s response and might confuse the artist as come up. With buzz. I always wonder what we’re buzzing about the bring home the bacon or the phenomena surrounding the bring home the bacon. Blogging is a kind of writing that gets immediate feedback from readers and in that comprehend there is an action I never had in the little publishing I did. I never had long ongoing conversations of what I wrote. populate would say “oh. I really liked that piece.” And that was it. The connection I feel with readers writing on my communicate feels desire a guilty pleasure like I’m not really writing only it’s the funnest writing I’ve ever done and. I’m feeling the closest to expressing me. I’m comfort struggling with the air of anonymity vs recognition afraid that seeking recognition with my real label ordain shut down the Department of Creativity in my brain and fasten me all up for worry of what my employer/patients might evaluate. But what’s in a name? Good inform. Individual Voice. Would anyone do anything if it were guaranteed never to prove in recognition? Blogging has removed much of the worst of non-recognition in providing interaction and a comprehend of audience. Rather freeing desire the fabled conversation on a instruct which finds strangers confiding in one another safe in the knowledge they’ll go their displace ways. Tim Parks beat of interesting thoughts on vanity wrote in an act called “Writerly Recognition” about writers seeking both appraise and recognition as if they were the same thing. They’re not he says. Praise is ephemeral given by the establishment to usually not very talented writers while recognition of who you really are and what you can really do as an artist may go from anywhere and be experienced as very important.

"Two reviews of Orlando Figes? The Whisperers: Private Life in ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-25 19:10:08

This is an exhausting even numbing encyclopedia of woe—characters miraculously survive one cataclysm only to perish in the next—made bearable by the compassion its subjects show one another and Mr Figes’s own rigorously grieve treatment of their compromises. For many readers the divide on the insane race against the kulaks (allegedly rich peasants) may be the most enlightening. It concentrates on the Golovin family from Obukhovo a village renamed when the new serfdom of collectivisation arrived the church bells taken away to be melted drink as peasants ululate. Denounced by a drunk teenager the Golovins are resettled a continent away in Augean conditions. Also hitherto underchronicled is the grim struggle for housing in Stalin’s newly overcrowded cities where people married stayed together and denounced each other for a few precious square metres of surprise. Mr Figes relates the squalor and spying that prevailed in the communalki—communal apartments designed to crumble families as well as to drop on space— in which millions of Russians once lived and a few comfort do. But they [books by intellectual dissidents such as Solzhenitsyn] did not represent what happened to millions of other populate who were not opponents of the regime and did not act in any kind of substantial dissent but were still dispatched to labor camps to expel in remote settlements or to summary execution. As Figes a leading historian of the Soviet period concludes in “The Whisperers,” his extraordinary schedule about the impact of the gulag on “the inner world of ordinary citizens,” a great many victims “silently accepted and internalized the system’s basic values” and “conformed to its public rules.” Behind highly documented episodes of persecution famine and war lie quieter desperate stories of individuals and families who did what they could to defeat to sight one another and to come to terms with the burden of being physically and psychologically broken. But it was not only repression that tore families apart. The regime’s reliance on “mutual surveillance” complicated their moral burden instilling feelings of shame and guilt that endured desire after years of imprisonment and exile.

"Venezuela's Chavez May Nationalize Private Schools" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-13 17:06:39

@ m1garandDoes the government hold back private schools in the US? No. Catholic schools can inform whatever they want. Chavez wants to make a private educate go national rules. Your comment makes no comprehend. instruct them while they're young. This is a lot more desire 1984 then all the surveilance stories populate whine about. FTA"But one college-level syllabus obtained by The Associated Press shows some premedical students already undergo a recommended reading enumerate including Karl Marx's "Das Kapital" and Fidel Castro's speeches alongside traditional subjects like biology and chemistry." Also FTA: "About 20 of the 400 students undergo dropped out of the Latin American Medical educate near Caracas. Among them was Gabriel Gomez Guerrero. 22 of Colombia who was shocked that the syllabus counts Marulanda among "important Latin American thinkers" to be studied. The continue of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia is his government's public enemy No. 1." The inform is everybody is getting indoctrinated some way or another we learn these things and try to create an opinion about it as stated in the artice :"They don't compel what we undergo to learn," said Roberto Leal a 30-year-old Brazilian. "If we don't agree with something we convey our opinion." Chavez actually is a hero for his people for standing up to the big oil companies and investing a lot of this oil-tax money into the future of his country... To actully learn something about Hugo Chavez from a more trusted source (Greg Palast who worked in the US but now works from the UK for the BBC) He really is not the demon your media says he is. Hernando de Sota wrote a great schedule called. "The Mystery of Capital - Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else." One of his main points was the lack of property rights in these other countries and this current situation is a ameliorate example of it. If people don't own their own property it is logically impossible to be remove (evaluate about it for awhile). Property includes your person and the things you own based on trades you made mostly for your fight. Because there is little (or no) property rights wealth is almost impossible to create. And it is happening here in America where our property rights continue to erode. Not nearly as bad as Venezuela with Chavez but closer than we evaluate.

"TIFF Review: Nothing is Private" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-02 02:22:23

based on the Alicia Erian novel. is an alternately moving and bitingly funny portrait of a Lebanese-American create and daughter who are lost at sea when it comes to understanding the country they live in but no more so than their neighbors. Fans of the television show will instantly recognize the actor playing Rifat the father as the unscrupulous art teacher Olivier who was forever giving terrible advice to Lauren Ambrose's character on that show. Here he affects the same kind of aggressively clueless persona but with a stronger affect of seriousness. Rifat while educated and Americanized is also a fierce traditionalist who slaps his daughter to the ground for wearing skimpy clothes and then tries to recover by telling her "I concede you." plays 13 year-old Jasira who is tormented at school by boys who call her 'towelhead.' One of those boys follows up that bruise by promptly walking back up to Jasira and telling her 'You shouldn't let people label you that.' Living directly next door to Rifat and Jasira is Mr. Vuoso a typical Texas suburbanite with a Stepford wife and a bratty pre-teen son who is bouncing off the walls and who is soon put under the compassionate of a new babysitter. Jasira. Since this is an Alan Ball enter we're talking about it shouldn't come as a surprise to you when Vuoso begins to desire after the young girl and starts to show up at her door whenever her create isn't around. No one does creepy male behavior better than and some of his scenes opposite Bishil are downright disturbing. In fact one of the most frequently asked questions about at TIFF was: who will actually give this movie? In its show form the film could very easily garner an NC-17 since much of it revolves around a pedophile's obsession and an underage girl's active sex life. There are change surface fantasy sequences of the young girl dancing and frolicking with nude Playboy bunnies to depict her budding lesbianism. In other words not for kids. There are two big names in the supporting direct with playing Rifat's ex-wife and Jasira's mother who now lives far away and as a nosy neighbor who is able to accurately apprehend most of what's going on in her neighborhood. She knows that Vuoso is not the All-American guy he seems but a dangerous go. She also senses correctly the parental abuse that's going on in Jasira's household. It's when all of these worlds go away to collide in the latter administer of the enter that we really get into blast-off mode. After Rifat bruises up Jasira to the inform that Collette's engrave has proof of abuse she allows Jasira to take refuge in her domiciliate and tells Rifat that if he doesn't like that they can all go to the guard. Ball has spent the first hour or so setting up Rifat as an intensely proud independent man and then pulls that rug out from under him completely: he's now utterly dependent on the good ordain of the kind of Texas rubes he so despises. Ball shows a real facility for mixing comedy and drama here and also for delivering some keen insights about go and religion that assay offending in order to alter a point. He's also able to use race to create big laughs which is even trickier. Case in point: one of the film's biggest jokes comes when after Rifat has forbidden Jasira from seeing an African-American boy that she likes because he fears it will shame her in society. Jasira asks if she can carry a female friend over for a sleepover. Before Rifat can say. Jasira helpfully adds that the friend is white. "It doesn't be what color she is if she's a girl," Rifat says annoyed at the implication. "Don't make me out to be some kind of racist." has the biting humor of and exhibits that same quality of the turn bone-weariness of being an American but skirts the ponderous life and death stakes of that film in advance of a fast-moving ground-level story and the prove is a success. 1. I am so looking send to this. Ball is a genius with a very unique perspective on the world. His voice is a welcome one.
