The media is denigrating and distorting Hinduism demonising Hindus spreading misinformation about Hindu scriptures and dividing Hindu society on caste-basis though based on Vedas Hinduism does not permit any caste system. It is also distorting history. Why are Hindus so self-effacing that they follow the agenda set by anti-Hindus and act against their own interests? The tragedy is that most Hindus are self-alienated by Macaulayan education and brain-washed by anti-Hindu media. In the recorded history of thousands of years. Hindus have never been disgraced so much as at present; and have never felt as vulnerable as now. Religion is a be of faith. But in September 2007. Hindu-bashing achieved new heights when the Union Government’s affidavit filed before the Supreme Court claimed that Ram and Ram Sethu sacred symbols of Hindu faith never existed. This affidavit attacked the very foundations of Hindu faith. Though the affidavit was withdrawn after protests the government’s contempt for Hindu sentiments had been affirmed. This shame heaped on Hindus is the latest of such insults and is a move of anti-Hindu forces’ design to demolish Hinduism the way other native religions and cultures undergo been destroyed elsewhere. This affidavit would never have been filed if truncated Bharat had been proclaimed a Hindu republic in 1947 as a natural outcome of India’s Partition on religious basis and creation of Pakistan as demanded by Muslims. And why cannot there be a Hindu Bharat when the world has over a hundred Christian and 57 Muslim countries including Afghanistan. Pakistan and Bangladesh which used to be Hindu lands?Why are Hindus so self-effacing that they go the agenda set by anti-Hindus and act against their own interests? The tragedy is that the most Hindus are self-alienated by Macaulayan education and brain-washed by anti-Hindu media. Truncated India i e. Bharat should have re-asserted itself after 1947. Instead fake ‘secularism’ which implies ‘anti-Hinduism’ has seized and ruined the Hindus.

Anti-Hindu mediaIn any democracy media is the most potent weapon of attack and shield of defence. In India most of the mainstream print and electronic media are controlled by compulsive anti-Hindus who masquerade as secularists. Though media is supposed to guard national interests most of the Indian media is an affiliate of various anti-Hindu outfits and has a similar anti-Hindu agenda. This media is denigrating and distorting Hinduism demonising Hindus spreading misinformation about Hindu scriptures and dividing Hindu society on caste-basis though based on Vedas Hinduism does not permit any caste system. It is also distorting history. The editorials articles and command treatment of news in most newspapers are anti-Hindu. Media suppresses and censors Hindu perspective on every event and displays its anti-Hindu lie. Same anti-Hindu agenda is visible in many television channels. For mainstream media genocide and eviction of Hindus from Kashmir are no news whereas Gujarat riots which started after Hindu complain passengers were torched at Godhra are always in the news. Hindus killed in Sabarmati convey do not matter for media; nor do victims of terrorism evoke any sympathy. Similarly the late Pope John Paul II’s label to convert Asia to Christianity given in New Delhi in 1999 created no churn up in anti-Hindu media. Conversion of Hindus to Christianity by fraud and inducement creates no ripples. Most of the media supports divisive Sachar equip report and Muslim reservation in government jobs though reservation on religious grounds is unconstitutional and though there can be no Muslim reservation after the creation of Pakistan as demanded by Muslims. Demographic invasionShockingly media is silent about Pak-Bangla design to plant one more Muslim country on Indian soil by planned infiltration of countless terrorists and crores of their nationals. To prevent the creation of more Pakistans on Indian soil in future one must remember how Pakistan was created. Though even Will Durant the American historian calls Muslim rule in India as the bloodiest story in history media paints a rosy conceive of of Muslim rule in India. Entire Indian sub-continent used to be Hindu arrive with zero Muslim population process 711 when Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army attacked Sindh. Hindus lost Afghanistan in 987 and show day Pakistan and Bangladesh to Muslims in 1947. While Hindus fought bravely to defend their religion and motherland they lost millions of lives and saw destruction of thousands of temples during the repeated Muslim attacks for a thousand years. After depose of Muslim command. India was under the British from 1857 to 1947. Formed in 1906. Muslim unify demanded Pakistan for Muslims in 1940. On March 23. 1940. Muhammad Ali Jinnah presented his ‘two nations theory’ stressing that Hindus and Muslims belonged to two different religions and civilisations; and were two separate nations and could never live together in one country; and demanded Pakistan a displace country for Muslims comprising of Muslim majority areas in India. In 1945-46 elections. Muslims voted for creation of Pakistan. In 1947 the Muslims got a third of Bharat’s land as Pakistan. Natural consequence of creation of Pakistan should undergo been the declaration of truncated Bharat as a Hindu republic and exchange of population as demanded by Muslim League. This would have been the permanent settlement of Hindu-Muslim contrast. However though most Hindus and Sikhs have been driven out from Pakistan and Bangladesh most of Indian Muslims who had demanded Pakistan and exchange of population did not go to Pakistan. Rather the present percentage of Muslim population in India is much higher than that in 1947. And to plant one more Islamic country on Indian alter. Pak-Bangla feature has sent crores of infiltrators into India during the measure many years. Despite the Supreme Court’s judgements delivered on July 12. 2005 and December 5. 2006 to bear infiltrators the government has taken no follow-up action in this believe. Rather the government’s policy of soft borders is inviting more infiltrators every day. Unfortunately media is silent when Bharat is being hammered and grabbed by Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators.“Uttishth Bharat” (Get up Bharat)Since history warns that advanced civilisations were attacked and defeated when they became too soft and lost the will to fight the most crucial concern for worldwide Hindu society now should be the survival of Hinduism and Hindu civilisation. It is deplorable that though there are numerous countrywide daily newspapers and television channels promoting anti-Hinduism in the label of secularism there is no all-India daily newspaper or television channel projecting Hindu concerns. As a prove. Hindu concerns remain suppressed; and the writers journalists and activists defending Hindu interests remain like warriors without weapons. Since most Hindus have been de-Hinduised by Macaulayan education and brain-washed by anti-Hindu media only pro-Hindu mass media will awaken unite and strengthen Hindu society. It will ameliorate Hindus about Hindu religion. Hindu heritage and Hindu history; and alter them pro-active to save Hinduism and Bharat. Besides it ordain liberate Hindus from sham secularism. Pro-Hindu media ordain restore Hindu self-esteem and fighting animate. It will expose the lies of terrorist friendly media and debunk deceptions like multi-culturalism. Aryan invasion theory and the so-called caste system. This media ordain also help to act a genuinely secular political party which would give justice to all and calm none. It ordain back up to remove enactments and laws which discriminate against Hindus. It will change state Bharat from countless terrorists and crores of Pak-Bangla infiltrators bent upon creating one more Muslim country on Bharat’s soil. Helped by this weapon. Hinduism and Hindu civilisation will defeat and be. Accordingly all pro-Hindu organisations individuals and Hindu social and religious leaders all over the globe should do their utmost to act the all-India pro-Hindu daily newspapers and television channels at the earliest. This is the only way to save Hinduism and Hindu identity of Bharat. As per Kathopnishad. “Uttishthta jaagrta praapya varaan nibodhat” (Arise awake and do not stop process the goal is achieved). When pro-Hindu mass media is in place no government will ever challenge the existence of Bhagwan Ram and Ram Sethu.

"Nonoverlapping magisteria NOMA" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-22 08:39:58

Stephen Jay Gould argued for “a respectful even loving concordat” between science and religion which he called the NOMA [nonoverlapping magisteria] solution. “NOMA represents a principled position on moral and intellectua] grounds not a mere diplomatic stance. NOMA also cuts both ways. If religion can no longer dictate the nature of factual conclusions properly under the magisterium of science then scientists cannot claim higher insight into moral truth from any superior knowledge of the world’s empirical constitution. This mutual humility has important practical consequences in a world of such diverse passions [. .] The net of science covers the empirical universe: what is it made of (fact) and why does it work this way (theory). The net of religion extends over questions of moral meaning and value. These two magisteria do not overlap nor do they encompass all inquiry (consider for starters the magisterium of art and the meaning of beauty). To cite the arch cliches we get the age of rocks and religion retains the rock of ages; we study how the heavens go and they determine how to go to heaven (Gould 1997).” Paul Davies November 24. 2007 Op-Ed entitled “Taking Science on Faith” in the New York Times was one of the most emailed of the day. Davies who is the director of Beyond a research center at Arizona State University and the author of Cosmic Jackpot: Why Our Universe Is Just Right for Life argued that. ””The problem with this neat separation into “non-overlapping magisteria,” as Stephen Jay Gould described science and religion is that science has its own faith-based belief system. All science proceeds on the assumption that nature is ordered in a rational and intelligible way. You couldn’t be a scientist if you thought the universe was a meaningless jumble of odds and ends haphazardly juxtaposed. When physicists probe to a deeper level of subatomic structure or astronomers extend the reach of their instruments they expect to encounter additional elegant mathematical order. And so far this faith has been justified ( ).” 1911- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (1844-1921) a Persian seer from a noble family imprisoned for decades for his beliefs upon his release from prison spent several years travelling and lecturing in Paris. London. New York. Montreal before his death in 1921. In one of his well-attended and well-documented lectures in Paris he declared. “Religion and science are the two wings upon which man’s intelligence can soar into the heights with which the human soul can progress. It is not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of superstition whilst on the other hand with the wing of science alone he would also make no progress but fall into the despairing slough of materialism (’Abdu’l-Bahá 1911? [1969:143]).” Citations from these lectures which were covered by major contemporary mass media are now available from many sources on the web. 1911- “When religion shorn of its superstitions traditions and unintelligent dogmas shows its conformity with science then will there be a great unifying cleansing force in the world which will sweep before it all wars disagreements discords and struggles–and then will mankind be united in the power of the Love of God (’Abdu’l-Bahá 1911? [1969:146]).” 1922 The words of `Abdu’l-Bahá. Persian seer and central figure of the Baha’i World Faith were published. `Abdu’l-Bahá declared that. “If religious beliefs and opinions are found contrary to the standards of science they are mere superstitions and imaginations; for the antithesis of knowledge is ignorance,and the child of ignorance is superstition. Unquestionably there must be agreement between true religion and science. If a question be found contrary to reason faith and belief in it are impossible and there is no outcome but wavering and vacillation.” 1950 Pope Pius XII (not one of Gould’s favorite figures in twentieth-century history) pronounced his encyclical entitled in which he declared that “Catholics could believe whatever science determined about the evolution of the human body so long as they accepted that at some time of his choosing. God had infused the soul into such a creature (Gould 1997). “The Magisterium of the Church has already made pronouncements on these matters within the framework of her own competence. [. ] In his Encyclical Humani generis (1950). [Pope] Pius XII had already stated that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation on condition that one did not lose sight of several indisputable points (cf. AAS 42 [1950] pp. 575-576) ( )”. 1981 Pope John Paul II in his address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on 3 October 1981 clarified that. “Cosmogony itself speaks to us of the origins of the universe and its makeup not in order to provide us with a scientific treatise but in order to state the correct relationship of man with God and with the universe. Sacred Scripture wishes simply to declare that the world was created by God and in order to teach this truth it expresses itself in the terms of the cosmology in use at the time of the writer. The sacred book likewise wishes to tell men that the world was not created as the seat of the gods as was taught by other cosmogonies and cosmologies but was rather created for the service of man and the glory of God. Any other teaching about the origin and makeup of the universe is alien to the intentions of the Bible which does not wish to teach how heaven was made but how one goes to heaven ( 2002).” 1984 Stephen Jay Gould joined with a group of French and Italian Jesuit priests who were also professional scientists participated in a meeting on nuclear winter sponsored by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. He referred to conversations on evolution at that time that resulted in his 1997 essay. Carl Sagan organized and attended the Vatican meeting that introduced Stephen Jay Gould’s essay entitled ““. Carl Sagan and Gould shared a concern for a “fruitful cooperation between the different but vital realms of science and religion (Gould 1997).” 1993 Pope John Paul II addressd the Pontifical Academy of Sciences plenary assembly on October 31. 1992. He addressed debates surrounding Galileo drawing attention to the need of a rigorous hermeneutic for the correct interpretation of the inspired word. It is necessary to determine the proper sense of Scripture while avoiding any unwarranted interpretations that make it say what it does not intend to say. In order to delineate the field of their own study the exegete and the theologian must keep informed about the results achieved by the natural sciences (cf. AAS 85 [1993] pp. 764-772; Address to the Pontifical Biblical Commission. 23 April 1993 announcing the document on The interpretation of the Bible in the Church: AAS 86 [1994] pp. 232-243)( 2002).” 1996 Pope John Paul II clarified certain issues on the magistria of science and religion in his Message to Pontifical Academy of Sciences. October 22. 1996 entitled “Magisterium is Concerned with Question of Evolution for it Involves Conception of Man.” “Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world a world in which both can flourish. Such bridging ministries must be nurtured and encouraged.” “[In 1996] fresh knowledge has led to the recognition that evolution is more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence neither sought nor fabricated of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favour of this theory. What is the significance of such a theory? To address this question is to enter the field of epistemology. A theory is a metascientific elaboration distinct from the results of observation but consistent with them. By means of it a series of independent data and facts can be related and interpreted in a unified explanation. A theory’s validity depends on whether or not it can be verified it is constantly tested against the facts; wherever it can no longer explain the latter it shows its limitations and unsuitability. It must then be rethought. Furthermore while the formulation of a theory like that of evolution complies with the need for consistency with the observed data it borrows certain notions from natural philosophy. And to tell the truth rather than the theory of evolution we should speak of several theories of evolution. On the one hand this plurality has to do with the different explanations advanced for the mechanism of evolution and on the other with the various philosophies on which it is based. Hence the existence of materialist reductionist and spiritualist interpretations. What is to be decided here is the true role of philosophy and beyond it of theology. The Church’s Magisterium is directly concerned with the question of evolution for it involves the conception of man: Revelation teaches us that he was created in the image and likeness of God (cf. Gn 1:27-29). The conciliar Constitution Gaudium et spes has magnificently explained this doctrine which is pivotal to Christian thought. It recalled that man is: the only creature on earth that God has wanted for its own sake” (n. 24). In other terms the human individual cannot be subordinated as a pure means or a pure instrument either to the species or to society he has value per se. He is a person. With his intellect and his will he is capable of forming a relationship of communion solidarity and self-giving with his peers. St Thomas observes that man’s likeness to God resides especially in his speculative intellect for his relationship with the object of his knowledge resembles God’s relationship with what he has created (Summa Theologica. I-II q. 3 a. 5 ad 1). But even more man is called to enter into a relationship of knowledge and love with God himself a relationship which will find its complete fulfilment beyond time in eternity. [. .] Consequently theories of evolution which in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them consider the mind as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person. With man then we find ourselves in the presence of an ontological difference an ontological leap one could say. However does not the posing of such ontological discontinuity run counter to that physical continuity which seems to be the main thread of research into evolution in the field of physics and chemistry? Consideration of the method used in the various branches of knowledge makes it possible to reconcile two points of view which would seem irreconcilable. The sciences of observation describe and measure the multiple manifestations of life with increasing precision and correlate them with the time line. The moment of transition into the spiritual cannot be the object of this kind of observation which nevertheless can discover at the experimental level a series of very valuable signs indicating what is specific to the human being. But the experience of metaphysical knowledge of self-awareness and self-reflection of moral conscience freedom or again of aesthetic and religious experience falls within the competence of philosophical analysis and reflection while theology brings out its ultimate meaning according to the Creator’s plans ( 2002).” 1997 Stephen Jay Gould published an entitled “” later published in the journal Natural History in which he argued for “a respectful even loving concordat” between science and religion which he called the NOMA [nonoverlapping magisteria] solution. “NOMA represents a principled position on moral and intellectua] grounds not a mere diplomatic stance. NOMA also cuts both ways. If religion can no longer dictate the nature of factual conclusions properly under the magisterium of science then scientists cannot claim higher insight into moral truth from any superior knowledge of the world’s empirical constitution. This mutual humility has important practical consequences in a world of such diverse passions [. .] The net of science covers the empirical universe: what is it made of (fact) and why does it work this way (theory). The net of religion extends over questions of moral meaning and value. These two magisteria do not overlap nor do they encompass all inquiry (consider for starters the magisterium of art and the meaning of beauty). To cite the arch cliches we get the age of rocks and religion retains the rock of ages; we study how the heavens go and they determine how to go to heaven (Gould 1997).” 1997 Carl Sagan’s estate published Billions & Billions. Sagan cited Pope John Paul II on the magistria of science and religion in his proclamation of October 1996. “Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world a world in which both can flourish. Such bridging ministries must be nurtured and encouraged.” 2007 Canadian secular philosopher and author of The Taming of Chance and honorary professor at the Collège de France. Ian Hacking in his essay entitled “Root and Branch” published in The Nation argued that the metaphor of a tree of life with linear roots trunk and branches as used in genetic anthropology was inadequate. Classification particularly in tiniest life forms such as fungi is a mess. While his arguments against the anti-science perspective of hard Intelligent Design proponents are convincing — and he clearly states he is atheist — he does not adopt a hard line approach such as Richard Dawkins and others whom he describes as destructive. “arrogant religion-baiters”. He provided a useful bibliography and timeline of events that led to the sociological phenomenon in the United States of widespread religious fundamentalism that informs contemporary debates on the roles of science and religion. Hacking considered Leibniz’ proposal “that the actual world is the one that combines the maximum of variety with the minimum of complexity for its fundamental laws. The “best” world the world sought by the most intelligent designer is one that maximizes variety in its phenomena and simplicity of basic law. Such a world has no place for a specific set of plans for the Arctic tern. The upshot is not attractive to those who favor intelligent design. It is in effect a proof that we live in a world of quantum-mechanical laws that are counterintuitive (to humans) but intrinsically simple–a world that once these laws are in place is then allowed to evolve out of a very few raw materials by chance and selection into unendingly complex patterns including life on earth as we know it. It is a fact that you will get complex structures if you just let such systems run. The wisest designer would choose the governing laws and initial conditions that best capitalized on this mathematical fact. A stupid designer would have to arrange for all the intricate details (the Arctic tern again) that anti-Darwinians eulogize but an intelligent designer would let chance and natural selection do the work. In other words in the light of our present knowledge we can only suppose that the most intelligent designer (I do not say there is one) would have to be a “neo-Darwinian” who achieves the extraordinary variety of living things by chance.” Abstract: Objective: “Recent psychiatric literature and contemporary sociopolitical developments suggest a need to reconsider the place of religion and spirituality in psychiatry. This paper was written with the aim of encouraging dialogue between the often antithetical realms of religion and science. Method: Material from psychiatric sociological and religious studies literature was reviewed with particular emphasis on New Zealand sources. Results: Despite the secularising effects of science the presence and influence of ‘religiosity’ remains substantial in Western culture. The literature emphasises the central importance of religion and spirituality for mental health and the difficulty of integrating these concepts with scientific medicine. Psychiatric tradition and training may exaggerate the ‘religiosity gap’ between doctors and patients. In New Zealand the politically mandated bicultural approach to mental health demands an understanding of Maori spirituality. Conclusions: Intellectual moral and pragmatic arguments all suggest that psychiatry should reconsider its attitude to religion and spirituality. There are many opportunities for research in the field. Psychiatry would benefit if the vocabulary and concepts of religion and spirituality were more familiar to trainees and practitioners. Patients would find better understanding from psychiatrists and fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue about mutual issues of ‘ultimate concern’ might ensue.”

"Mass Media: Smoke & Mirrors" posted by ~Ray

We are the most conditioned programmed beings the world has ever known. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our very awareness of the whole design seems desire it is being subtly and inexorably erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares right? It is an exhausting and endless task to act explaining to people how most issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by a thousand media clips per day. The final goal of media is to create a following of docile unquestioning consumers. To that end three primary tools have historically been employed: All the strong men of history would have given their eyeteeth to undergo at their disposal the number and types of distractions available to today’s regimes: TV programs which serve the secondary purpose of instilling proper robot attitudes into people who have little other instruction in a constant quest for the nadir of reptilian brain stimulation devoid of lyrical competence instrumental proficiency switched now to the trappings and toys that suggest success available to anyone with a credit card With these noisy banal distractions the forces promoting the general change state in intelligence and awareness jubilantly engulf us on all sides. Media science holds the advantage: as people get year by year it gets easier and easier to keep them dumb. The only challenge is that their threshold keeps getting displace.

"Armistice Day" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 18:31:05

Originally this was a moment for looking backwards to honor those who had served in the Great War and mourn those who had died. Its retrospective purpose remains. But for Americans right now it should also be a moment to honor the men and women who continue to serve and sacrifice and be injured and die — and to designate on the fact that for the first time in our modern history they do so with absolutely no shared sacrifice or service from the public at large. Everyone knows this and avoids thinking much about it. Today it’s worth at least remembering. It’s also worth thinking about how warfare itself has changed. In 1918 several warring nations agreed that the war would forbid on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. But it’s unlikely our current military actions will end with an armistice. Wars will just go on and on until changing circumstances cause people to suffer interest. For that cerebrate war can no longer be thought of as an extraordinary event of limited duration that will end on some day future generations ordain have to memorize for history tests. From now on we must understand that when we decide to act in a large military action there may not be an end to it for many years. Certainly there can be exceptions to this. If a war has a narrow and sharply defined mission — running Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait for example — then a war might still be of limited duration. When the mission is more grandiose and less specific — ending evil spreading democracy making the world safe from terrorism — then don’t evaluate to be long enough to see the end of it. Unless of cover we just forbid fighting it. reason. “we’re at war” can no longer be an forgive for playing abstain and let go with the Constitution. It was controversial enough when Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt assumed extraordinary “war powers” that would be relinquished when the wars ended. When President Bush expands the powers of the presidency he is in effect changing the way powers are balanced and separated Because our wars will have no armistice no formal conclusion dignified with treaties and ceremonies war powers ordain not be relinquished unless some future President chooses to do so. Or unless Congress and the Courts compel the President to relinquish them. On the other hand without shared free on the part of civilians war and the sacrifice of soldiers can too easily be put out of object. For those not directly involved perpetual war could change state just another move of the constant drone of issues emanating from mass media. And that makes it One in four of our nation’s homeless people is a veteran according to a study released this past week and soldiers returning from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are becoming destitute more often and more quickly than veterans of past wars. … … Part of the problem a big part is that war has change state so commonplace for our country. The wars we are fighting now have no end in sight and the daily news has hardly changed since they began: U. S soldiers are dying at a slow but steady rate. Most the country is against the war and the absence of a military draft means the people who are serving are doing so by choice. That unfortunately makes it easier for us to disregard the sacrifices they are making. Another issue is that while local organizations (namely the Angelina County Veterans Day Committee and local school districts) do a great job of putting together ceremonies to recognize our veterans it’s like pulling teeth to get members of the public to be them. Then there are the other 364 days of the year on which we think and do very little about veterans’ needs. I ordain come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh accidentally my birthday was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy…all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the express of God. So we still undergo among us some men who can bequeath when God spoke clearly to mankind. I have this little veterans’ memorial along the edge of my yard. It’s where I put in some new plants early in the fall so they’d be established when pass came and then develop when spring rolls around. Puttering around the store while I was in the lay of this yard project. I found a miniature U. S flag on a small stick one of those things you see real estate agents plant a million of in everybody’s yard on the Fourth of July. I’d saved this one from the Fourth for some cerebrate. Anyway there it was on a shelf in my store and I picked it up and took it out where I’d just put all the new plants and stuck it in the fasten where it has stayed 24/7 ever since. I evaluate of this little plot as my memorial to everyone I personally knew who died in uniform. None of them died in contend. Most of them died in “training accidents,” mainly aviation related things desire disappearing into the side of a mountain or flying to the bottom of the ocean. I act thinking someone who thinks he’s really really patriotic will go along someday when I’m in the yard playing with my dogs or something and tell me how I’m not treating the flag properly that I should experience exceed than to get it outside day and night rain or shine what with me being a veteran and all. I can’t wait to see the be on that person’s face when I say what I undergo to say in say to that. It should be pretty comical the look on the face of that person who thinks he’s so all fired patriotic. Maybe we should change the spelling and alter it “Warr.” That way it would be a four-letter word. And we can’t use four-letter evince’s now can we you stupid Conservatives?!?You got us into this mess. I query how you be with yourselves. Do you raise your head’s high at the depth’s you made us sink to? challenge furnish and Cheney. End the war. Let’s act on… accuse! Impeach!! Incarcerate!!! If our act’s wont do it then we can let The Hague sort them all out. Sometimes I can’t back up but think of it as “Armistice Day” even though I have only met a few veterans of WWI. I always think of my wife’s grandfather who fought in both world wars. He was a prisoner of war in WWI. As the story goes he wrote poetry for the prison camp “newsletter”. (I am sure Alberto Gonzales would evaluate that was come up beyond quaint.) Copies were sent domiciliate by fellow prisoners and when he returned to England his poetry had been published without his knowledge and he was on his way to a literary career. He mainly wrote novels but he wrote an “In Memorium” about World War One. Evidently the Poppy that we all acquire in a crepe paper simulation each year move those men together more strongly than we might acknowledge. In his poem he described a bloom of poppies in a field where he had fought a battle and their red alter “as if the daub of the.

"On talking with the enemy" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-03 20:58:52

How should we treat our enemies? That has been and still is one of the most important questions for humankind throughout history and into the future. Some would react altogether to communicate or cerebrate with the enemy—for many that may ingeminate into hatred which soon escalates into violence and war. For others the biblical principle of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” is the change by reversal response to our enemies. Today this seems rather barbaric to many peaceniks yet in biblical times it was a more progressive way of treating one’s enemies since it defined the limits of retaliation. Rather than killing the enemy plus all of the members of their family or clan or village etc. the limit was one eye for one eye one tooth for one tooth actually a more merciful less barbaric learn than prior to this principle. However in contemporary times one of the most popular critiques of this principle came from Mohandas Gandhi who said that if we lived by an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth everyone in the world would be blind and toothless! If Gandhi was right. I speculate that would make war more difficult since one could no longer see one’s enemy. commenting on the recent tour of Iran’s president to the U. S suggest that folks talk with their enemy. Read more about it here: http://www christiancentury org/article lasso?id=3759. Jesus’ way involves more than talk though love—tough and otherwise—is the way we are called to treat our enemies. This like involves it seems praying for the enemy blessing those who curse you when someone strikes you on one speak offering them the other one as well not asking for your goods/property approve if someone takes it. Read more about it in Matthew 5:33-48 and Luke 6:27-36. This higher way antithetical teaching of Jesus is certainly equally as tough for those disciples who seek to follow this path as it is tough for “the enemy” recipients. Yet if followed to the letter and in the true spirit of Jesus. I’d anticipate that the consequences for the world would be absolutely revolutionary! Meanwhile governments and the mass media around the world have too much money to lose to give even a one second consideration to such an come to the enemy—war and violent television programs and movies are the cover and butter of the real world it seems. Or is the opposite equally or even truer: Do governments and the mass media around the world undergo too much money to lose if they fail to pay attention to peace love and non-violence? Maybe too some things are more valuable than money—another revolutionary thought!

"Political addiction and the 2007 election ( Revenge of the Pseph)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 07:26:41

I just had to say that on remembrance day. Every time I tour Canberra I have to rest at the front of the old parliament house and recite this mantra. Today is a holy day for political junkies. I sight election night television coverage to be a bring out of my viewing year. Every now and then I like to sit in the TAB and alter a few bets there is something mesmerizing about studying the numbers on the screen and trying to make sense of them followed by an exhilarating or disappointing climax as the go is called. I get the same petty go on election nights. My craving for more and more is profoundly dissatisfied by this Federal election. I conclude I am being subjected to involuntary cold turkey and being denied find to any solid political hits. I am bored silly with the show election campaign. I agree with attach Latham’s analysis that this election is a Seinfeld election – all about nothing. Senator Andrew Bartlett makes similar observations on his communicate   Kevin Rudd and the ALP have been running fast in all directions to avoid any argument with John Howard and the incumbent government and the substance of all media coverage has been meaningless visits to shopping centres workplaces schools and old peoples homes. The media hunts for bloopers and mishaps. When they get such a spontaneous distraction they feature that as the bring about story. When John Howard and Kevin Rudd met for a televised debate the headlines were not interested in any political issues but focused on the sensation of “The move” the perception of the audience. The only exciting news presented about the election to go out has been the almost daily channel of opinion polls and the endless speculation about the coat of the swing to the ALP. Unfortunately much of the election commentary on the blogosphere has been similarly shallow often just commenting on the media pulp but more and more  engaging in the esoteric art of psephology (the statistical study of elections).   Independent psephylitics have been raised to a higher pedestal than political commentators.   The ABC’s Antony Green the unchallenged ennoble of the Psephs has emerged as the most authoritative election analyst on the web and on the T. V. Journalists of the ilk of Laurie Oakes or Paul Bongiorno who have dominated past election coverage with their inside leaks policy juxtapositions and eagerness to find or act political conflicts undergo been sidelined by ennoble Antony’s speculative be crunching. Politics has been reduced to the aim of a cricket match. We the people sit in the grandstands cheering for one side or the other and watching the scoreboard.  However we will be quickly evicted if we wander on to the pitch. The thing that makes the 2007 election different to other play matches is that the ALP is content to bowl under-arm for the whole test. The government is swinging wildly trying to make communicate with the ball but it rolls so decrease and so low they cant do anything with it. It is easy to be cynical about politicians detachment from the real world about their minimal contact with their constituents who undergo no real cater or voice in parliamentary business. Consent is given to these removed politicians once every three (or six) years by way of a cross in a box next to their label on a vote cover which is the only political engagement required of a “responsible citizen”. It is similarly easy to be cynical about the expansive gulf between policy principles discussed in parliament and the real working (or not working) of government policies and public function delivery in the real lives of real populate on the fasten. The only knowledge we have of the apply of political cater comes from a severely refracted minimalised and biased mass media not necessarily biased within the parliamentary spectrum but intensely biased in the construction of notions of society citizenship and politics. The mass media as our only common cultural experience as a nation defines our notions of “normal”. “reasonable” and “desirable”. The media is biased in favour of a growth/consumerist economy and sociology. Alternative perspectives of the world and the perspectives from on the fasten in real peoples lives are simply not represented in the cultural parameters of mass media product. So through a combination of detached and alienating parliamentary political process and a one dimensional mass media mainstream political discussion and activity is simply engagement in this clumsy illusion. This mass adherence to illusion is a be of consciousness. It is what we flawed humans do we adopt or act illusions and then adjoin to them as if it was absolute reality. The alter mechanical nature of the 2007 election is actively dumbing drink the Australian population – and our consciousness our understandings of what politics is and what is our role in it. We are more and more accepting our position as a passive merchandise rather than an active body-politic. Public opinion as expressed through surveys petitions political campaigns and focus group investigate is not used as a basis for democratic policy development but as data that influences the advertising campaigns for undemocratic unrepresentative policies devised by small elites detached from any public control or change surface enter. Politics and ideas undergo been reduced to conversation and “public opinion” (whatever that is). The concept of an idea metamorphosing into challenge and history is a notion that is not even considered by us ordinary people object within our privatised existence at work or within the fence lines of our home. It does not matter if our politics is Green revolutionary socialist christian feminist libertarian or anything else if we act in politics as simply conversation ideas detached from existential reality and material history then our politics is an illusion with no connection to the exercise of power. The adoption of alternative political illusions is not alternative to political illusion itself which as I mentioned is a be of consciousness not ideology. ‘I agree with Mark Latham’s analysis that this election is a Seinfeld election – all about nothing’ - here in Alice Springs the election outcome will pave the path to (a) the status quo in terms of the intervention roll-out (pending what aspects the Coalition may ameliorate but has not indicated) and (b) if fight win significant funding for additional teachers (to fill the back-log of some 2000-7000 students who are not enrolled number depending on the obtain) retention of CDEP albeit some ameliorate and retention of the accept system.

"Uniting Media and Education" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 17:22:15

With the onset of the internet the opportunities for media to work with the public educational system have expanded exponentially. In many ways media agencies and teachers alike have grabbed the opportunity. I personally try to use internet resources to try and improve my teaching. When student teaching a psychology categorise I used audio clips of songs containing backtracking to dilate ways in which subliminal messages are used. In history. I used a variety of websites to find primary documents to add depth to the textbook information. I have also tried to take favor of the availability of video. For example. I used a video on Jefferson’s presidency to add visuals to my instruct and a cut on brain development to back up students understand neurons. Technology has put a variety of resources to choose from at our touch tips. However because of the variance in curriculum most resources undergo to be reformatted and some become obsolete. In this dilemma I see possibility. A collaboration of media outlets and textbook companies could prove in online activities which alter comprehend when applied to lessons based on textbooks video clips which fit seamlessly with the books’ text and a variety of other resources. Additionally. I think it seems plausible considering the narrative change of a U. S. History class for a media outlet to bring home the bacon with schools and air programming which adds to the students’ class bring home the bacon. It could work like this: A great many students watch the History bring but they get a jumbled history from it with no real context. They may see a show about the Great Depression and then a documentary about the Mayan culture. If stations could appoint their programming to lie up with the point in the year when most teachers are teaching a certain topic then perhaps teachers could mouth to benefit on students’ home habits as come up as the measure they undergo with them at school. While I haven’t fully explored these thoughts here my basic exposit is that a development in the relationship between public education and mass media can only benefit both parties and warrants advance attention.

"DAVID TOOP, Ocean of Sound : Aether Talk, Ambient Sound and ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 19:16:31

has an argument it's that ambient isn't a genre so much as a "way of listening". Almost any music can be used as meditational backdrop oreveryday aural decor if you turn the volume to a whisper; conversely almost anymusic can become immersive a medium in which the listener is suspended andwombed if it's cranked out through a massive sound system. Ambient. David Toopnotes has change state "one of those polysemous glue words which fasten wherever theyland". Hence the proliferation in recent years of all manner of hybrid genres,ranging from the likely (ambient dub ambient techno) to seeming contradictions-in-terms desire ambient jungle (soothing New Age synths over frenetic jolting beats) and ambient grunge (the Sabbath-meets-Eno instrumental band Earth). doesn't really proceed by argument however but by unfurling filaments of observations anecdotes quotations and insights. Each chapter traces one of the cat's cradle of historical threads that have converged toconstitute 'ambient' as we now experience it. Toop looks at the fantasies of a subaquatic utopia that links Javanese gamelan. Debussy. Jimi Hendrix whalesong recorder Roger Payne and avant-disco producer Arthur Russell; he explores the dream of a "One World" music pursued by Stockhausen. Miles Davis. Can and Jon Hassell; he considers the magical effects of emit from prehistoric caves and Medieval cathedrals to dub reggae and Pauline Oliveros's "resonant music". Along the way topics like shamanism chaos theory the studio-as-instrument and mass-media culture as an "information ocean" are probed; the Aphex Twin and Mick Harris of Scorn can be heard enthusing about the inspiration they gleant from the hum of power stations fridges and radiators; lost innovators desire Richard Maxfield. Basil Kirchin and Phill Niblock are plucked from history's dustbin. A soundscape-creator himself. Toop shares the musician's distate for categories bombastic judgements and over-weaning theories. In the animate of his diffuse subject. Toop lets inferences and implications spread out in ever-widening ripples. Even individual sentences often speak likewise as a chain of supplementary clauses (freefloating ideas imagistic metaphors etc) that gradually recedes into the horizon. Some may sight the lack of narrative thrust or polemical punch slightly frustrating. But if you let yourself go with the flow you'll sight
