Emphasis on minority languages and cultures and human rights.(Untitled)- April 22, 2004 Adi Nis Israeli Art Exhibit Adi Nes is no Ansel Adams, unless Ansel was also using the geography of the human body to express homoerotic longing. His subjects are fellow members of the Israeli Defense Forces and he poses them in ways which mimic famous sculptures and paintings like The Last Supper and The Pieta. He's showing at San Francisco's Legion of Honor through July...http://blogs.salon.com/0002222/categories/internationalPolitics/2004/04/22.html#a667 (Untitled)- April 20, 2004 Why Do They Hate Us Maybe the question should be "Why are Arabs so irrational and angry Why do they blame the problems of 300 million Arabs on 5 million Jews living in a nation the size of Connecticut Why do they put up with corrupt and loathsome leaders who have done nothing for their people other than steal their money Why does the Arab world, by every measurable standard of living, lag behind every other region of the world, including sub-Saharan Africa" These are...http://blogs.salon.com/0002222/categories/internationalPolitics/2004/04/20.html#a664 (Untitled)- April 17, 2004 Two Down, Many More To Go The United States should learn from Israel how to deal with terrorists like the leaders of Hamas. Kill them as they're appointed and before they have a chance to kill you. Israel has learned from past experience what the Arabs understand and it's one thing, force. Negotiations only embolden these terrorists. Smashing Arab aggression before it steamrolls you is the only chance for survival in the Middle East and Israel puts it to practice....http://blogs.salon.com/0002222/categories/internationalPolitics/2004/04/17.html#a658 (Untitled)- April 14, 2004 Apologies...

In 100 days more than 900,000 people were killed at a rate far surpassing the genocide of the Nazis in WWII. Today is an international day of rememberance. I remember when the genocide occured and the world sat and did nothing, with the US miscalculating the effects of the genocide and France cravenly arming the Interwame militias that carried out the genocide. We say "Never again" yet we watch while...http://blogs.salon.com/0002222/categories/internationalPolitics/2004/04/07.html#a647 (Untitled)- April 5, 2004 My Thesis Work I'm deeply superstitious talking or writing about things that have been started but not completed. I don't know where it comes from but if I'm dating a new hot guy I don't like to spill the beans until things are great between us lest they fall apart. The same goes for interviewing for a job or in this case, writing my thesis. Still I've decided to post the opening statement here for my readers.
