Re: Mind's Eye Syria

I understand the middle east is a mess..  (not in support of any side)  Israel was provided land under a UN agreement  which I can agree on  the have a right to live as a nation..     but that agreement was not enough they had to attack the surrounding countries  coincidentally the only reason they were able to do that twas the US intervened in a war they started.. From the actions of the Israel nation they are nothing but a group of thugs and trouble makers..   It is Israels aggressiveness that keeps the area in turmoil..   If you don't believe me Don look at the west bank  That is totally a palistianian area except that the isreals run  in and start building settlement claiming it is part of isreal..

Until isreal's nucular weapons are dactivated, then totally removed (they have proven that they can not be trusted on any level) and the nation is brought under control there will be no peace in the area.

My solution isolate the entire area and  let them have fun killing each other,,  with out backing or support to either side..  that is apparently what they like to do by demonstration.

Hey Allan just noticed your comment here. I may be beating a dead horse but i couldn't let this go without at least a token response. Of course we would not have invaded just because of Saddam's human rights violations. Stability in the region that supplies much of the world's oil was, as you rightly point out, a major concern. It still is or at least should be. Our friends the Saudis were even worried. I'm very concerned we are packing up and leaving the party far, far too soon. Without US soldiers in the region Iraq is likely to fall under Iranian influence. Indeed, much of the 'insurgency' has been directed from Tehran. 

I'm at a loss with your description of the Palestinian/Israeli situation. You sound like you think there was a 'war' between Palestine and Israel. I admit I'm no M.E. scholar but all the wars I know about involving Israel post partition plan involve several Arab countries against a fledgling Western nation. Any land grabbing not sanctioned by the UN was done after Israel was threatened by Syria, Jordan and Egypt during the 6 day war. Recent Israeli attempts at pacification by giving up some of these lands has been repaid with attacks. Of course there's more then one side to this story but hearing all the rhetoric from Arab countries in the last 30 years or so has me convinced peace has never been further away. Arabs don't want peace they want to annihilate Jews. The recent 'Arab Spring' and the forming of Muslim Brotherhood governments with peculiar new laws further demeaning already subjugated women just reinforces my poor opinion of the backward culture these folks have to endure. God help them all. 

From my observations it seems clear the surrounding countries have no interest in a strong and independent Palestine. They want that land for themselves. If every Jew picked up and left today by tomorrow a half dozen Arab countries would be staking their claim and the so-called 'Palestinians' would remain the perpetual refugees that they are and be shoved off further into the desert.  Darwin's Theory and all that. 

Soooo glad to be appreciated Vam. I especially like it when my perspective is critiqued soundly. There is much we would probably agree on and I have been known to  be wrong. Occasionally.

and the USA's invasion and occupation doesn't mention WHY this was done nor what led up to it. It might interest you to know that human rights groups had been whining for YEARS about Saddam's abuses. The UN, left to it's own ineffectual devices, will do nothing.
 
So, you ask why Western countries don't interfere. Look to Iraq and see your answer. If you ask why neighboring countries don't interfere it's because they expect the US or UN to to all the heavy lifting so they do nothing. Just like those countries surrounding Palestine that could help that country succeed and prosper by helping it rid itself of militant trouble makers like the PLO but instead enable them to greater mischief. They were very effective in raising money for so-called 'aid' that was used instead for terror purposes and to solidify their own power. It's a shame really. Israel could be a great neighbor if hate were put on the back burner and tolerance and respect given a chance.
 
I am not holding my breath. BTW, Iran has it's stinky little fingers in all these Mid-East pies as well. I'm not being racist, dammit I'm calling the Government stinky, not the Iranian people. Them I like well enough and was frankly disappointed Obama did NOTHING after that bogus election and crack-down on dissenters that followed. Nary a peep about that do we hear do we?

Re: Mind's Eye Some Education

You have me there Rigsy I really don't as I don't use. Wife said it.us a passport thing even as we speak. It is a new law and all ready in effect.

They don't mind citizen using but others including Europeans are no longer included.

I can even grow 5 plants for my own use no problem. My residency is to precious to risk. But I will look into it for you

Come anyway

Re: Mind's Eye Some Education

I was thinking of hitting the Netherland coffee shops before they are
forbidden to non-citizens...or could you lend out your membership
card? :-)//Seriously, I will see how it goes tomorrow with an old
friend. He would be great fun to travel with IF this were "the best of
all possible worlds" but what do I read and hear everyday? Riots,
suicide bombers, pirates, sinking or stinking cruise ships, no smoking
rules, bed-bugs, etc.

Mind's Eye Re: Some Education

One problem is a system designed for the masses- one size fits all,
unrealistic expectations, success myths, etc. Sometimes the "school of
hard knocks" is the real diploma in life because it is not theoretical
but very real- if you want to acknowledge reality, that is. Recently,
there was a blurb somewhere about an exchange between Rousseau and
Voltaire: R- Life can be hard. V- And the alternative is? Am rereading
"Candide" as a detour presently- it still zings!//Anyway, what
benefits rural children unless they give up for the lure of cities?
Math and reading, computer skills/commodity markets, health and
homemaking education including safe water and pesticides, etc., family
planning, challenges to legal and religious ignorance and violence, a
roomy space for expression in the various arts. One might stress the
comfort of being an individual in a small community versus invisible
city dwellers. All of the above, presented in an age appropriate
manner, of course.

Dear Friends,
Namaste to all of you. Mr. Tilak Pakwal from Bhutanese Minnesotans called me this evening and stated about the forth coming program which is going to be held in Minnesota on July 7, 2012. According to the conversation, Mr. Pakwal clearly mentioned about the concept of discovering and honoring the Bhutanese artists recognizing their contributions towards to the society and the nation which I felt is a great step to motivate our artists to continue involve in the art of creation. Therefore, I forward this email and please respond  at the earliest. I myself may not be able to collect all the complete data of recorded albums and the artists so please do write about you and about any one whom you know who has published albums from our community. I humbly request to write your contact information also so that you can be easily reached. You may contact directly Mr. Tilak Pokwal in 671-621-9019 about your queries.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ram Gurung

Dear Bhutanese Artists[Singers, Musician and Composers]
This mail is all the way from Minnesota. I  Tilak Pokwal writing this mail on behalf of all the Bhutanese Minnesotans. 
In the recent meeting of our community, we have brought an idea to HONOR our Respected Bhutanese artist who has with all their dedication, hard work, talent/ skills what not, have produced Cassette and have presented beautiful songs to our people. We felt that their talents were always been limited among certain friends and relatives and hardly to any one else because Our people are accustomed with foreign singers and never felt promoting our owns. There might have been made some attempts to organized such program but could not happen.
Therefore, We thought, Why not? we discover our Heros and Heroins to introduce and explore their magic over the states while honoring them??
With this concept, we have made a decision to hold a program on July 7th,2012. [i.e on saturday] and it would be absolutely Our Bhutanese Singers, musician and composers, where each artist will be presenting their best songs [at least two] that is what we aspect. And to add some chemistry, we have talented dancers performing.
Our dear friend Ram Gurung will be co-ordinating us to provide with Phone numbers and names of our talents. I am looking forward to get by the end of this week.
Thank you Ram ji, for assuring me your support, i truly appreciate.
Let's make this year as Bhutanese Artist's year all over the state.
Tilak Pokwal.
Note: This Honoring program has absolutely NO political back hand. Our music hunters and lovely people of Minnesota wants to bridge the gap between Artist and Artist lover and to promote their talent.
