"" 2. "The Warriors" fights on: http://tinyurl.com/9msga Twenty-six years after being shunned by the mainstream, the cult classic rises again (and again, and again). By Allen Barra It all started with the battle of Cunaxa near Babylon in 401 B.C. If Prince Cyrus hadn't challenged his brother, Artaxerxes II, for the Persian throne and hired 10,000 Greek mercenaries, the most intriguing new special edition DVD and the most hyped video game of 2005 and one of the most eagerly anticipated remakes of 2006 would never have happened. "The Warriors," Walter Hill's 1979 fantasy about street gangs, Grove Press is now shipping its reissue of Sol Yurick's 1965 novel, "The Warriors," Cyrus got himself killed, and his Greek mercenaries -- the "Ten Thousand" of much classical lore -- fought through 1,000 miles of Persian soldiers and barbarian tribes, each with its own mode of dress and special weapons, to the sea and safety. One of their generals, Xenophon, went back to Athens and wrote a book about it, "The Anabasis," :- In the 26 years since its release, the film has evolved into a cult phenomenon, the subject of international Web sites, including the U.K.-based Warriors Movie Site < http://warriorsgame.co.uk/movie/ > (which, according to its Webmaster, Gareth Jones, gets nearly 50,000 hits a month) and an Italian site dedicated to "I Guerrieri della Notte." < http://www.marconelweb.it/thewarriors1979/ > DeVorzon's soundtrack has been reissued, and, in addition to the video game, there is a set of action figures. You can even purchase a replica < http://tinyurl.com/78mfy > of the Warriors' vest.

Now 11:34pm, Jun computer, I in. Bed 1:05... #0: "The Constitution of the Five Nations" "" At little explanation is necessary for clarity. The following is translated from the language of the Mohawk to French and then English. It DOES NOT comprise the entire constitution. Each representative in council could speak, and many present were dubious about allowing the French missionary access to the talks. The dubious ones did not initally prevail, but eventual did, so the words of Dekanawiclah of the Mohawks to the Onondagas is all that survives to this day. It is this version that Benjamin Franklin praised. Also, certain terms are problematic in translating so Europeans tended to use the best word possible and leave it to the reader for correct interpretation of the nuances. Particularly problematic in this document is the term "lord". The essence of this document was passed down by oral tradition, but this is the only surviving "first hand" account. It is reasonable to assume that it correctly reflects the understanding of all five peoples. Article One - roughly analogous to our preamble. THE GREAT BINDING LAW, GAYANASHAGOWA I am Dekanawiclah and with the Five Nations' Confederate Lords I plant the tree of the Great Peace. I plant it in your territory, Adodarhoh, and the Onondaga Nation, in the territory of you who are Firekeepers. I name the tree the Tree of the Great Long Leaves. Under the shade of this Tree of the Great Peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for you, Adodarcoh, and your cousin Lords, by the Confederate Lords of the Five Nations. Article Two Roots have spread out from the Tree of the Great Peace, one to the North, one to the East, one to the West, and one to the South. The name of these roots is the Great White Roots and their nature is Peace and Strength. If any man or any nation outside the Five Nations shall obey the laws of the Great Peace and make known their dispositon to the Lords of the Confederacy, they may trace the Roots to the Tree and if their minds are clean and if they are obedient and promise to obey the wishes of the Confederate Council, they shall be welcomed to take shade beneath the Tree of the Great Long Leaves. We place at the top of the Tree of the Great Long Leaves an Eagle who is able to see afar. If he sees in the distance any evil approaching or any danger threatening he will at once warn the people of the Confederacy. Article Three To you Adodarhoh, the Onondaga cousin Lords, I and the other Confederate Lords have entrusted the watching and caretaking of the Five Nation's Council Fires. {The Priestess Note One: This is the first actual power delegated. While any may be heard when the council was assembled, the power to assemble the council at odd times is vested soley in the Onondaga. A great honor and responsibility. A petitioner not passing their test for urgency had to wait.} When there is any business to be transacted and the Confederate Council is not in session, a messenger shall be dispatched either to Adodarhoh, Hononwirehtink or Skanawtih, Fire Keepers, or to their War Chiefs with a full statement of the case desired to be considered. Then shall Adodarhoh call his cousin Lords together and consider whether or not the case is of sufficient importance to demand the attention of the Confederate Council. If so, Adodarhoh shall dispatch messengers to summon all the Confederate Lords to assemble beneath the Tree of the Great Long Leaves. When the Council Lords are assembled the Council Fire shall be kindled, but not with the wood of the Chestnut, and Adodarhoh shall formerly open the Council. {The Priestess Note Two: Establishes the Onondaga as the "Speakers of the House". Chestnut wood fire is very hot and smokeless and was the traditional wood used for war council fires} Then shall Adodarhoh and his cousin Lords announce the subject for discussion. The smoke of the Confederate Council Fire shall ever ascend and pierce the sky so that other Nations who may be allies may see the Council Fire of the Great Peace. Adodarhoh and his cousin Lords are entrusted with the Keeping of the Council Fire. Article Four You, Adodarhoh, and your thirteen cousin Lords, shall faithfully keep the space about the Council Fire clean and you shall allow neither dust nor dirt to accumulate. I lay a long wing before you as a broom. As a weapon against a crawling creature I lay a staff with you so that you may thrust it away from the Council Fire. If you fail to caste it away then call the rest of the United Lords to your aid. {The Priestess note three. This is flowery language carrying far more imporance that may be gleaned from a literal reading. To carry a weapon to any council, even a war council, was an act of disrespect and war. By this passage the Onondaga are established as the "Sergeants at Arms" for the council and permission granted to be armed. It is ludicrous to imagine that a warrior would need aid in dealing with a literal crawling creature.} Article Five The Council of the Mohawk shall be divided into three parts as follows: Teharihoken, Ayonhwathah and Shadekariwade are the First Party; Sharenhowanch, Deyoenhegwanh and Oghrenghrehgowah are the Second Party; and Dedennakrineh, Aghstawenserenthah and Shoshoharowaneh are the Third Party. The Third Party is to listen only to the discussion of the First and Second Party and if an error is made or the proceeding is irregular they are to call attention to it, and when the case is right and properly decided they shall confirm the decision of the two parties and refer the case to the Seneca Lords for their decision. When the Seneca Lords have decided in accord with the Mohawk Lords, the case shall be referred to the Cayuga and Oneida Lords on the opposite side of the house. {The Priestess note four. At first glance this might be seen as establishment of a bi-camel legislature and lend credence to the notion that it influenced the U.S. Constitution in some way, but it should be noted that this influence was well established in the English Parliament well before this document. It is more reasonable to assume that the culture having more in common with the American one (the English) would be the source of the Senate/House of Representatives concept (analogous to the House of Commons and House of Lords). The division of the Mohawk contingent is indeed similar to the "committee" rules of the house, but these rules are internal ones peculiar to that institution and not specified in the Constitution} Much much more to follow. I will continue if anyone is interested. So far, I believe it supports my contention that this is in essence a peace treaty and not the founding of a ruling body. Individual and tribal priviledges are established farther on however, but I need some indication that I am not wasting my time to continue. ""

"Science and Ultimate Reality: Quantum Theory, Cosmology and Complexity", ed. by John D.Barrow, Paul C.W.Davies, Charles L.Harper; Cambridge University Press (April 22, 2004): http://tinyurl.com/ad9ar "" Book Description This preview of the future of physics comprises contributions from recognized authorities inspired by the pioneering work of John Wheeler. Quantum theory represents a unifying theme within the book, as it relates to the topics of the nature of physical reality, cosmic inflation, the arrow of time, models of the universe, superstrings, quantum gravity and cosmology. Attempts to formulate a final unification theory of physics are also considered, along with the existence of hidden dimensions of space, hidden cosmic matter, and the strange world of quantum technology. John Archibald Wheeler is one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century. His extraordinary career has spanned momentous advances in physics, from the birth of the nuclear age to the conception of the quantum computer. Famous for coining the term "black hole," Professor Wheeler helped lay the foundations for the rebirth of gravitation as a mainstream branch of science, triggering the explosive growth in astrophysics and cosmology that followed. His early contributions to physics include the S matrix, the theory of nuclear rotation (with Edward Teller), the theory of nuclear fission (with Niels Bohr), action-at-a-distance electrodynamics (with Richard Feynman), positrons as backward-in-time electrons, the universal Fermi interaction (with Jayme Tiomno), muonic atoms, and the collective model of the nucleus. His inimitable style of thinking, quirky wit, and love of the bizarre have inspired generations of physicists. "" 2. "The Fabric of Reality : The Science of Parallel Universes and Its Implications", by David Deutsch; Penguin (Non-Classics) (August 1, 1998): http://tinyurl.com/bs8bb "" Amazon.com "Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense," writes physicist David Deutsch. In The Fabric of Reality, Deutsch traces what he considers the four main strands of scientific explanation: quantum theory, evolution, computation, and the theory of knowledge. "The four of them taken together form a coherent explanatory structure that is so far-reaching, and has come to encompass so much of our understanding of the world, that in my view it may already properly be called the first Theory of Everything." Deutsch covers some difficult material with unusual clarity. "" "" From Library Journal Common sense and reality diverge and then come together again in this mind-blowing book. Maintaining that the best explanation for certain quantum phenomena is that there are parallel universes, i.e., multiverses, Oxford physicist Deutsch posits and then attempts to unify four basic strands?quantum physics, epistemology, evolution, and the theory of computation. Just one astonishing consequence is that quantum computers can collaborate between universes. "" "" The New York Times Book Review, George Johnson The Fabric of Reality is full of refreshingly oblique, provocative insights. But I came away from it with only the mushiest sense of how the strands in Deutsch's tapestry hang together. "" "" From Booklist In the library of physics for laypeople, Deutsch's book is unique. Correction: it is multiversal, existing in innumerable universes that Deutsch argues exist alongside the "real" universe that people perceive. Explaining that, and persuading the reader of its scientific truth, makes this work unique. Another of Deutsch's mindbenders is that each person could be resurrected near the Big Crunch (if there is one) by a universal computer with infinite memory, a conclusion discussed (and unfairly dismissed by most scientists, according to Deutsch) in Frank Tipler's The Physics of Immortality (1994). Deutsch, a quantum physicist at Oxford University, builds toward the computerized second coming on the basis of the well-known, reproducible experiment that conclusively establishes the quantum nature of light and of reality. "" "" From Kirkus Reviews One major school of quantum theory posits a multiplicity of universes; but what does that imply about the reality we live in? A simple experiment, familiar to every student of physics, involves light passing through slits in a barrier; its results, according to Oxford physicist Deutsch, lead inevitably to the idea that there are countless universes parallel to our own, through which some of the light must pass. This ``many worlds'' interpretation of quantum theory has gained advocates in recent years, """" He argues that quantum computation, a discipline in which he is a pioneering thinker, has the potential for building computers that draw on their counterparts in parallel universes; this could make artificial intelligence a reality, despite Roger Penrose's objections (which Deutsch deals with in some detail). Likewise, time travel into both the future and the past should be possible, though not in quite the form envisioned by science fiction writers; the trips would almost certainly be one-way, and they would likely take the travelers into different universes from the one they began in. Deutsch takes particular pains to refute Thomas Kuhn's ``paradigm'' model of science, which essentially denies progress. A final chapter looks at the long-range implications of his views, including the place of esthetic and moral values (areas more scientists now seem willing to confront). "" 3. "Theory and Reality : An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science" (Science and Its Conceptual Foundations series), by Peter Godfrey-Smith; University Of Chicago Press (August 1, 2003): http://tinyurl.com/8dyzt "" covers logical positivism; the problems of induction and confirmation; Karl Popper's theory of science; Thomas Kuhn and "scientific revolutions"; the views of Imre Lakatos, Larry Laudan, and Paul Feyerabend; "" "" captures the historical drama of changes in how science has been conceived over the last one hundred years.

"" "" China was until recent centuries the world’s richest nation. The proud, prickly Chinese do not enjoy being lectured like schoolboys by a nation living in a huge glass house that offers a pretty poor example of fiscal rectitude or peaceful behavior. As to China’s alleged militarism, Rummy’s hosts were too polite to lecture him about the fool’s war in Iraq that has raised global oil prices and fueled terrorism. But Rummy is right when he says China’s current military buildup threatens Taiwan. China’s behavior towards Taiwan is often brazenly aggressive. China now can wreck Taiwan’s economy by bombarding its ports with over 800 missiles and throwing a submarine blockade around the island. China’s new, long-ranged strike aircraft and more modern naval units may even be able to keep US carriers far from Taiwan. The Pentagon has real concerns about defending Taiwan and is upgrading Guam as a new forward Pacific base. Still, while US warships patrol the Taiwan Strait, no Chinese warships cruise between Cuba and Miami. Apropos, the UN just reaffirmed the five-decade-old US blockade of Cuban violates its resolutions. Besides Taiwan, China poses no current military threat to any other Asian nation – except regional superpower India, which can well look after itself. China has generally preferred to use its power and prestige to intimidate and overawe neighbors rather than invading them – with some notable exceptions. Or hurl invective against nations that displease it, notably Japan. The Bush Administration and know-nothing Bible Belt Republicans are most unwise to seek a new Soviet-style enemy in China by whipping up false fears about Chinese expansionism. The real threat we face is how to divide up dwindling world energy supplies. Besides, the over-stretched US military is in no shape to fight China. China and the US already face growing competition for natural resources. Today, Americans, only 4% of world population, consume 25% of world oil. China, India and the EU want their share. Managing this demand and China’s rapid emergence as a Pacific and world power will be America’s most important strategic problem in the next 30 years. This is a task for diplomats, not the Pentagon. America will have to learn to share energy and accept China as a co-equal in the Pacific.

W. Norton & Company (February, 2005): http://tinyurl.com/e44ql "" Amazon.com Kurt Gödel is often held up as an intellectual revolutionary whose incompleteness theorem helped tear down the notion that there was anything certain about the universe. Philosophy professor, novelist, and MacArthur Fellow Rebecca Goldstein reinterprets the evidence and restores to Gödel's famous idea the meaning he claimed he intended: that there is a mathematical truth--an objective certainty--underlying everything and existing independently of human thought. As an introduction to one of the three most profound scientific insights of the 20th century (the other two being Einstein's relativity and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle), Incompleteness is accessible, yet intellectually rigorous. Goldstein succeeds admirably in retiring inaccurate interpretations of Gödel's ideas. --Therese Littleton "" #2. UK Cambridge Scientist almost hidden, comparable to #1: http://tinyurl.com/8zmky "The Essential Turing", B.J. Copeland (Editor); Oxford University Press (September 30, 2002): http://tinyurl.com/8ftuj "" Synopsis Alan Turing, pioneer of computing and WWII codebreaker, is one of the most important and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. In this volume for the first time his key writings are made available to a broad, non-specialist readership. They make fascinating reading both in their own right and for their historic significance: contemporary computational theory, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and artificial life all spring from this ground-breaking work, which is also rich in philosophical and logical insight. An introduction by leading Turing expert Jack Copeland provides the background and guides the reader through the selection. About Alan Turing Alan Turing FRS OBE, (1912-1954) studied mathematics at King's College, Cambridge. He was elected a Fellow of King's in March 1935, at the age of only 22. In the same year he invented the abstract computing machines - now known simply as Turing machines - on which all subsequent stored-program digital computers are modelled. During 1936-1938 Turing continued his studies, now at Princeton University. He completed a PhD in mathematical logic, analysing the notion of 'intuition' in mathematics and introducing the idea of oracular computation, now fundamental in mathematical recursion theory. An 'oracle' is an abstract device able to solve mathematical problems too difficult for the universal Turing machine. In the summer of 1938 Turing returned to his Fellowship at King's. ""

"#1001: End the Nation or Federal State!": "" [Tsai 05.11.18=5 #1] Yes, D., this is the defense of the nation state which has brought the whole mankind incredible violence and "evils", and which is finally being curved initially. Their points are: 1) Peoples cannot rule themselves! because not wise enough. 2) The system we have is the only way which superior persons rule, especially when sciences are far more complicated and the system follows likewise.. Wrong, wrong! Well, please just compare the USA and Switzerland. Should we all continue to debate peoples' right to wear them or rather required to have them? The deadly problem lies precisely at "representative" and "federal". Peoples are sripped off weapons, money, and dignity, and from control of themselves. The EU and the UN are not "federal", and I hope never will be. Wales and the Welch(?) are freer under the EU in fact, psychologically and physically. "" 2. "#1002: Substance of Freedom": "" Tsai 05.11.18=5 #2] Let's have one by one: 1) "Republican Democracies": & Professionalization: D.: "In Republican Democracies people DO rule themselves through their elected representatives." That's the theory, but, in practice, too much shortcomings to the extent that overwhelming majority people feel powerless and helpless, and are "brain-washed" and manipulated. So the m. don't vote. D.: "It is a vitally important profession (meaning that it should be run by professionals)." Or ruled by p.? Not so for the ancient Greeks, it was chosen by lottery. The Swiss militia is not p. either. That's the essence of a free people? That political and military persons are not p. 2) Overlording tiny minority: D.: "Hopefully we select the best people available for the jobs, but that does not make them "superior people" under our system of government." In practice, not just s., but almost overlords who control, manipulate, and help their own kind of the tiny minority. D.: "At least Republican Democracies DO consider the people to be wise enough to decide who is wise enough to make the critical decisions for the rest of us." In practice, "the people to be" manipulated "enough", and put in our system to have our kind elected all the time, to work for us. 3) Size: D.: " But Switzerland also subscribes to republican form of government with elected officials making the decisions." The problem is not entirely that of form, but rather that of substance. At least partially it's because of the size. (Not far away Washington, DC.) Consequently, "elected officials" are better known by the voters. The President could ride bycycle to office, and not shield by security personnel. That's also the essence of democracy. 4) "Federal" protection against "State": D.: "The Feds brought civil rights to minorities who were denied them by the "democracy" practiced in individual states." However, that same feds becomes far worse oppressor, with far more powerful power, far away. The EU and the UN are not feds, and the Welsh and Scots are protected against them by the UK, or by far smaller mini-states, which are naturally far easier to be democratic because of their size. So, that's it, point by point. Hopefully I could bid you good night soon. "" #2. ""Heroic" Future of the Theocracy from the US?": "" [Tsai 05.11.18=5 #1] Yes, it was about "Sharia": "The law system inspired by the Koran, the Sunna, older Arabic law systems, parallel traditions, and work of Muslim scholars over the two first centuries of Islam." http://i-cias.com/e.o/sharia.htm That's why he even considered the USA a more "sharia"-type nation than the Saudi. I think there are two aspects about the relationship between the religion and the state. For the relition's disctinction between sacred and not sacred, or even all is sacred, the believers are ABSOLUTELY sure where the truth is So if Americans believe firmly that the American Consitution and the Founding Fathers are almost sacred and absolute, and the global spread of "Democracy" is a sacred mission, then it is at least the sharia-TYPE Americanism. ====================== R. wrote: Are you still so sure that islam is compatible with Western democracy? I have serious doubts that ANY religion is "compatible with Western Democracy." EITHER God has laid down rules for humans to follow OR you vote on what the rules should be. People who claim to believe the former - but go-along with the latter - are simply hypocritical, and don't take their religion seriously. The main objection (and it's a strong enough objection to get laws changed) to same-sex "marriage" in the USA is religion (And that in a country where "marriage" is largely a civil ceremony anyway.) Compare that with the way Sharia is implemented in Nigeria - where half the country is Muslim, and half Christian. Sharia is voluntary. "I'm not, and never have been a Muslim, so these laws don't apply to me" is an acceptable defence, at least where things like drinking and adultery are concerned. Pissing on a Mosque and making the same claim isn't likely to be as succesful. One of the problems implicit in some views (notably America's) of "Democracy" is that it's a choice between a strictly limited selection of choices. It's not enough to tell women that they're free NOT to wear the burka, or some lesser "Islamic" dress. Shrill voiced "democracy"-pushers then inform them that ignoring their new-found pseudo-choice by continuing to wear Islamic dress is UNDEMOCRATIC. What happens when a majority (and straw-polls suggest that Islamic dress is actually popular) decide not to exercise their pseudo-choice? Here in the west we have restrictions on what it's legal/illegal to wear. Walk around your local shopping mall naked... you'll get arrested. (And if you're female, probably molested as well) I don't see demonstrations in favour of "a woman's right to nakedness". It's just not seen as an issue of any importance. Pretty much the same as headscarves in Islamic countries. Yet the "Any excuse to bash Muslims" brigade insist that it's VITALLY IMPORTANT. Whatever happened to a male Sikh's "right" not to wear a turban? A few weeks back, my wife got a letter from an angry parent - who objected to her children getting sex-education at school which didn't actively condemn homosexuality. She quoted biblical chapter and verse in support of her views. It wasn't just her view, she explained, it was WHAT GOD WANTED. The same biblical chapter proposes the death sentence for children who turn up at school wearing leather shoes, or polester/cotton shirts and blouses. I suggested to my wife that she asked the angry mother for her views on wearing mixed-fibres. If God wants us to condemn homosexuals and feels it strongly enough to dictate his concerns into the bible... then clearly he feels equally strongly about mixed fibres, (if he didctates his thoughts on the matter in the same book to the same prophet.) One can't cherry-pick between divine pronouncements.... at least, not without looking like a hypocritical idiot. R. ""

Perhaps you have mentioned before that the Carribean immigrants are rather special? If they are marrying out, then it's different from the Mexicans in the US, in that a viable separate identity of their own in their self-ruling community is rather marginal. It is also not so for the Chinese immigrants to Taiwan, since the Japanese had taken over Taiwan, and then the Chinese Nationalists. Would "mini-nations" ever replace the nation states, without state or "separatist" terrors?. ====================== R. wrote: Oh yes, they are. Where are the Caribian churches and preachers that call for holy war, death to the Jewish pigs, disgust for the unbelievers (that includes *you*, in case you missed that), and a refusal to obey the laws of the crusaders (that includes British law, in case you missed that too). More to the point... where exactly are these fanatical French Muslims? Do the rioters stop rioting five times a day for prayers? Do they conspire with others in the local Mosque? You'd apparently like to think so. Reports suggest that your view and reality are separated by a widening gulf. These kids GRANDPARENTS might have been Islamic, but the kids themselves are unlikely even to speak Arabic. Their connection with their ethnic roots has withered away... and hasn't been replaced. The vast majority don't study the Koran, they don't attend the mosque, and they don't pray to Allah. They're as irreligious as the average Englishman. But I guess it's a handy (if ill-informed) stereotype if you've got a weak argument that needs shoring up. D.: It IS possible to integrate Caribians into a pluralistic, democratic society. How you want to integrate Islam, you should show us. How many of the 47 islamic countries around the world have anything resembling a free, tolerant society? R.: The UK is the main destination for Carribean immigrants. The first wave arrived here on the SS "Windrush"... We're now dealing with their chldren and grandchildren. Interestingly, a majority of women or Jamaican origin wouldn't consider taking a husband of Jamaican origin. They're ambitious, and they regard Jamaican men as "lazy underachievers." My home town of Bristol is a strange place... for complicated historical reasons, it doesn't follow the usual rules of urban expansion - deprived inner city, prosperous outer suburbs - instead, it's kind of like a "marble cake" - where you make two batches of spongecake mixture, pour one into the cake tine, then the other, and stir gently with a spoon so that they mix up. Result, I spent most of my childhood living in a wealthy area... yet also no more than a few hundred yards away from St Pauls - one of England's oldest communities of West Indians. The "problem" we have with West Indians generally speaking isn't with immigrants or their children. It's with their Jamaican passport-holding relatives, who come to "visit" - using family connections as a prextext for getting a Visa. Shootings in Bristol are rare... and almost entirely down to "visiting cousins". Back home in Jamaica, the country divides into relatively crime-free "tourist" areas, and Kingston, which is as dangerous as Baghdad. Cops carry M16's and patrol in pairs. Drug dealing is the major source of income. Criminal gangs ("Yardies" and "Rude Boys") are the main authority. Yes, it's possible - to an extent - to assimilate Jamaicans. The girls work hard at school, get white-collar jobs, and marry white, white-collar men. The boys goof-off at school (it's not "cool" to be smart) get blue-collar jobs, and frequently marry white girls from blue-collar backgrounds. Sounds stereotypical... but it's the way things are. By the fourth or fifth generation, their kinds won't just be "assimilated"... it'll be almost impossible to tell that they had dark-skinned great grandparents. My son has Jamaican friends - notably one named Jason. His parents arrived in the UK shortly before he was born, 14 years back. Both parents come from the relatively small "educated middle class" of the West Indies. I note that the USA comprises over 50 "mini-nations", each semi-autonomous. Have you been following the recent spate of referendums across these sub-nations? On issues like "Intelligent Design"? How "free" and "religiously tolerant" is a state that can raise a majority that demands the teaching of Fundamentalist Christianity in all its schools? R "" ==================== "" West Indian immigrants to the USA are an interesting group - highly selected, non-typical. Immigrants to the UK were encouraged to move here to fill a "skills shortage" towards the lower end of the skills market, and at a time when the "Welfare State" was in full swing. "Free" education for your children - up to and including University - free healthcare, subsidised housing for the poor, a state pension that you could actually live on... Quite an incentive to move here and take the low paid-jobs that nobody else wanted to do. America was somewhat more selective. Average incomes for West Indian immigrants to the USA is HIGHER even than for "whites", and a lot higher than for "African Americans" generally. That makes it kind of hard to compare the two groups. The "mini-states" thing is an interesting side-effect of the EU. Scottish separatists, for example, are often keen "Euro-federalists". They see the EU as means to "divorce" the rest of the UK (i.e. England) while remaining part of something "protectively bigger". The various Spanish regions share a similar outlook: each region paranoid that the others are "ganging up on it" to deprive them of their "fair share". They're in favour of a transfer of power away from national government down to regions and up to a trans-national government in Brussels. The people of the largest components in Europe's three biggest countries (Germany, France and Spain) are relatively "secure in their national identities" (And German "Lander" - roughly equivalent to "states" inside a federal Republic have more autonomy than in usual in Europe already. Within the UK, Wales and Scotland have their own "assemblies", with limited powers of self-government) The problem then is that the EU has to decide what it's going to be.... and there's dispute about what that is. We could go for stronger "regional" governments - "mini states" and weaker national governments... or we could keep things as they are. But we can't do both. Not unless (and it makes some sense) we make "European-ness" kind of "modular", where each member state picks which options they want to sign up for, and which they don't want. There have been nations in the past (The Swiss and Austrians) who were "associate" members of the EU. On some issues they were treated as members, on others they weren't. Similar deal with the Euro: Poland and the UK are both EU members.... neither use the Euro. As a matter of trivial interest, Colin Powell's first name is pronounced by his parents (who chose the name) in the English style - "Koll'n" And yet he's known to most Americans as "Koh-linn". R ""

His strong credentials and thoughtful approach set him apart from his peers. Here, he successfully argues that the extremist sects of Islam, mainly Wahhabism, blatantly defy the true values of Islam. He clarifies that Wahhabism was once an unpopular, fringe, cultlike movement, which only grew through a chance partnership with the Saudi Arabian ruling family. "" "" About the Author Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl is one of the most important and influential Islamic thinkers in the modern age. An accomplished Islamic jurist and scholar, he is a professor at the UCLA School of Law, where he teaches Islamic law, immigration law, human rights law, and international and national security law. As the most critical and powerful voice against puritanical and Wahhabi Islam today, he regularly appears on national and international television and radio, including CNN, NBC, PBS, NPR, and Voice of America (broadcast throughout the Middle East).

(1996). ; University of California Press (February 4, 2004): http://tinyurl.com/dj6y2 "" Book Description The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it. The debate over whether the people of Taiwan are Chinese or independently Taiwanese is, Melissa J. Brown argues, a matter of identity: Han ethnic identity, Chinese national identity, and the relationship of both of these to the new Taiwanese identity forged in the 1990s. In a unique comparison of ethnographic and historical case studies drawn from both Taiwan and China, Brown's book shows how identity is shaped by social experience--not culture and ancestry, as is commonly claimed in political rhetoric.

Book Description In 1895 Japan acquired Taiwan as its first formal colony after a resounding victory in the Sino-Japanese war. For the next fifty years, Japanese rule devastated and transformed the entire socioeconomic and political fabric of Taiwanese society. In Becoming Japanese, Leo Ching examines the formation of Taiwanese political and cultural identities under the dominant Japanese colonial discourse of assimilation (dôka) and imperialization (kôminka) from the early 1920s to the end of the Japanese Empire in 1945. Becoming Japanese analyzes the ways in which the Taiwanese struggled, negotiated, and collaborated with Japanese colonialism during the cultural practices of assimilation and imperialization. It chronicles a historiography of colonial identity formations that delineates the shift from a collective and heterogeneous political horizon into a personal and inner struggle of "becoming Japanese." Representing Japanese colonialism in Taiwan as a topography of multiple associations and identifications made possible through the triangulation of imperialist Japan, nationalist China, and colonial Taiwan, Ching demonstrates the irreducible tension and contradiction inherent in the formations and transformations of colonial identities. Throughout the colonial period, Taiwanese elites imagined and constructed China as a discursive space where various forms of cultural identification and national affiliation were projected. Successfully bridging history and literary studies, this bold and imaginative book rethinks the history of Japanese rule in Taiwan by radically expanding its approach to colonial discourses. "" #2.

In a shorter form, 3 points: 1) Our Taiwan ROC is not Chiang's ROC or Chinese ROC in exile. She is our own creation, under our control. We could stop using ROC, and use Taiwan, without any public declaration. 2) Any left-over problems from ROC was wiped out by the Chinese Communist Party in China. But, our problems in Taiwan, even grown more serious by the Pan-Blue parties, could be faced first perhaps by the South African way of public acknowledgement, apology, and seeking of pardons, then by legal termination of judgement by laws domistically, and also internationally about the "crimes against humanity" and the position of Taiwan. 3) To face Chinese threats and manipulation, we should all join together in understanding our danger and possible bright future, by the Swiss way of maintaining freedom and peace for centuries, until finally a membership in the EU and in the UN. We could enthusiastically promote an East Asian Union, first by joining with Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Japan in economic, political and cultural cooperation. Like the EU, if not possible to terminate death penalty at once, at least democracy should be aimed at for all members, including China. "" #2. Save Taiwan Now! ""Taiwan is in real danger. Let's help ourselves now!"" "" [Tsai 05.11.8=2 #3] Indeed, it's just incredible how shamelessly weak our President is. But, it is also true that the Taiwanese voted our Parliament so blue that it's very difficult and often impossible to act according what he actually want to do! Now that many Taiwanese are impressed with the image of official corruption, and also the "clean" image of the KMT head, we are facing unexpected fatal danger. This is really a critical time for all of us, including the Blue peoples, who just refuse or are unwilling to face the reality that they are being played by our enemy's manipulation, and brain-washing which the Bluers had used for decades to fool the Taiwanese, but also had done to themselves to be fooled by themselves, into the enemy's trap. And letting this development continue unhindered for so long, is definitely our government's responsibility: it's fundamental responsibility is to protect our security. Our Parliament is responsible for restricting at this time, our defense in the face of so many years' Chinese real military threats, is the most ourageous and treasonous act. How could this be left to continue? Yes, our President has repeatedly warned against this danger, real danger never happened before in our military balance against China. WE HAVE TO CHANGE our Parliment in our next election. At this very dangerous juncture, China has done its utmost to fool the whole world with the image of suddenly friendly and peaceful fault appearances.

Perhaps, it's also "A Question of Cosmopolitanism", such as that of Ottoman Empire or the Napoleon Europe, beyond exclusive Hitlerism and inclusive nationalism. Multi-culturalims and localism should be our ideal, I think. They tend to be more democratic without being majority dictatorship, more of oceanic rather than continental civilization. Taiwan, like the USA is a nation of immigrants. I wonder to what extent is the UK, compared to France or Germany. It seems to me also that multi-cultural or multi-lingual nations like Switzerland are easier to cope with this kind of coming global problem. So, Canada is equipped with at least two elements of being a winner, expressed also in its great foreign relations. ====================== R. wrote: With the possible exception of Portugal, multi-lingual Belgium had the most shameful record of Imperialism of all the European nations. No, forget Portugal. Belgium's murderous exploitation of Congolese rubber marks the absolute nadir of colonization. The true horrors are only nowadays being remembered. One of the great campaigners against Belgium's slave-trade and forced labour camps was the British (Irish) MP Erskine Chilvers... who was subsequently found to be buying guns from Germany for the IRA. His popularity evaporated and the story he helped to expose was forgotten with him. There's not a great deal of love lost between the French-speaking "Walloons" and the (kind-of) Dutch-speaking "Flemings". When Belgium decided to add a third TV channel to their existing two (one French, one Flemish) they couldn't agree on programming. So instead, they settled on rebroadcasting BBC1 - in English - as the only acceptable compromise! Note too that the French and german speaking communities of Switzerland don't see eye-to-eye.

To summarize, "Caging the Beasts" described the measures that private Dispute Resolution Organizations (DROs) could take against violent criminals – measures many readers found more soul-crushing and repressive than life under the current government!

"There will be a price to be paid by the U.S. government in terms of its credibility," Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program, told IPS. Mexico signed the Rome Statute of the ICC in September 2000, but did not ratify the treaty and formally deposit it with the United Nations until last week, on Oct. 28, making it the 100th nation to join the ICC. Washington had warned Mexico that if it ratified the ICC and refused to sign an accord exempting U.S. nationals from the court's jurisdiction, it would cut 11.5 million dollars in funding from aid programs for fighting drug trafficking, according to human rights groups. The amount is equal to almost 40 percent of the economic aid Mexico receives from the United States. However, Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said last week that Mexico would not sign such an accord, and was willing to lose the aid rather than give the United States special status. Almost every country in the European Union, 27 African countries, and all but four Latin American countries (Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua) have now joined the new court based in The Hague, which is empowered to prosecute individuals for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed after Jul. 1, 2002.
