We are bloggers that want to have a legitimate platform to share our thoughts. <br /> <br /> We will be making a similar announcement on the other site, and we want you to be aware that article from now and into the future are not necessarily the thoughts of Richard Blair (although we hope he agrees with most of them!).<br /> <br /> The site is going to be fairly quiet, and we will occasionally create a new post when it seems necessary. We are however, swamped with multiple projects out there.

I know, I know, that's sooooo 2004. It's still a quagmire, though. You just don't hear too much about it much on this side of the Atlantic ocean because journo's have gotten the hint - if you ain't an embed, you could be dead.<br /><br />So, here's a few top stories from today:<br /><br />A mass hostage taking was reported yesterday in the town of Madain. The situation is apparently very fluid and confusing, particularly when the only available information is coming out of the Green Zone in Baghdad. The <a href="; target="newwindow">Associated Press stenographer in Baghdad stated that</a> "Sunni militants were holding dozens of Shiite Muslims hostage and threatening to kill them..."; <a href="; target="newwindow">Al Jazeera says</a> "a senior Shia official in Baghdad said up to 150 hostages were being held, including women and children..."; <a href="; target="newwindow">AFP is reporting</a> "Sunni militants had seized up to 80 hostages and threatened to kill them unless all Shiites left". And apparently, a rescue operation has now been undertaken - which is apparently equally as confusing - is it Iraq police or U.S. forces that are conducting the mission? Pick your news source; take your chances.<br /><br />In other news (again, pick your news source), <a href="; target="newwindow">3 U.S. soldiers were killed overnight</a> in a drive by <a href="; target="newwindow">mortaring of Camp Ramadi</a>, with up to a dozen more being injured. An Iraqi "commando force" officer and a police director were <a href="; target="newwindow">assassinated in separate incidents</a>, and two of the police director's family members were also killed in the hit. <br /><br />What else has been happening? Oh, there was a <a href="; target="newwindow">riot in the prison at Camp Bucca</a> after a detainee was apparently murdered. Several detainees escaped in the subsequent confusion; most were apparently recaptured. Seven Iraqis, including three policemen, were killed in an explosion at a restaurant in the town of Baquba, north of Baghdad...<br /><br />Yep. Just another weekend in paradise. Oh, and those elections that took place back in January? There still isn't a functional government in Iraq, nearly three months after the elections. <br /><br />Let's tie all of this up with a quick observation. A common thread running through nearly every report coming out of Iraq these days is that Iraqi "forces" (whatever they are) are responding to events. For example, in the sketchy reports on the three U.S. soldiers being killed in Ramadi:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>...Seven servicemen were also wounded in the attack, three of them seriously, the military said in a statement. The attackers were believed to have fled into a nearby mosque. <b>But when Iraqi security forces searched it</b>, they found no insurgents. </em></blockquote><br />Again, this is not an exception - nearly all of the news articles linked in this post have the same flavor when describing military responses to the event. What this is telling me is two things: U.S. casualties are down because soldiers are venturing less and less beyond the operational wall of fortified compounds, and relying on Iraqi first responders to chase the bad guys after a firefight. Second, the focus of press releases from the Green Zone are subtly changing to support the U.S. exit strategy - a major reduction of U.S. forces if U.S. casualties decrease and Iraqi security forces take over.<br /><br />This slog is a loooooong way from over. For an Iraqi insider's view, check out <a href="; target="newwindow">Riverbend's most recent posting</a>, if you haven't already.<br /><p></p>2005/04/iraq-quagmire-continues.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111365854903128696Sat, 16 Apr 2005 13:35:00 +00002005-04-16T09:35:49.030-04:00Heat Grows on DeLay<a href="; target="newwindow">And the chorus grows...</a> <br /> <br /><blockquote><em>WASHINGTON - One of Congress' most conservative members on Friday became the second House Republican to urge Majority Leader Tom DeLay to step aside because of the ethics scrutiny he's facing...</em></blockquote> <br />When the conservative newspaper in my own neck of the woods calls for The Bugman to wave bye-bye, when (for goodness sakes) hyper-conservative Senator Rick Santorum (<a href="2004/11/outsourcing-senate-seats.html" target="newwindow">ethically-challenged</a> in his own right) <a href="; target="newwindow">says he should go</a>, when a 100% rated <a href="; target="newwindow">neocon congressman</a> opines that it's time for door to hit DeLay's ass on the way out... <br /> <br />I'd call that a trend. <br /> <br />It will be interesting to see how Bugman's continuing problems play on the Sunday talk shows tomorrow. <br /><p></p>2005/04/heat-grows-on-delay.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111362797864864970Sat, 16 Apr 2005 05:06:00 +00002005-04-16T01:06:18.646-04:00Bill Frist's Hustle<dir><b>Definition</b>: <em>Hustle <br /> <br />Synonyms: action, ante, bet, challenge, chunk, fifty-fifty, fighting chance, flier, gamble, handle, hazard, hedge, hunch, long shot, odds on, outside chance, parlay, play, pledge, plunge, pot, risk, snowball chance, stake, toss-up, venture</em></dir> <br /><img src="; align="left" hspace="10" vsapce="10">Senate Majority Leader Dr. Bill Frist is <a href="; target="newwindow">playing with fire</a>. Let's stipulate one thing right up front - this guy isn't stupid. Maybe deluded or deranged, but not stupid. <br /> <br />Why on God's green earth would Bill Frist, one of the most powerful men in America, align himself with a <a href="; target="newwindow">Reich wing fundamentalist telethon</a> that's the broadcast equivalent of <a href="2005/04/wankfest-2005.html" target="newwindow">American Taliban Wankfest 2005</a>?

And I don't think anyone could argue that he's not going to be making a lot of new friends with his participation in the <b>"<a href="; target="newwindow">Justice Sunday</a>"</b> gig. That he would align himself with someone as far on the fringe as <a href="; target="newwindow">Tony Perkins</a> speaks volumes more than I or anyone could possibly write. <br /> <br />Chuck Currie, a progressive Christian blogger, <a href="; target="newwindow">takes on the entire concept of Frist's sellout</a> (or buy-in, as the case may be) better than almost all of the outraged words I've read in the Left Blogzome this evening. I encourage you to click through to Currie's article, and offer your support. <a href="; target="newwindow">Here's a teaser</a>: <br /> <br /><blockquote><em>...This purely political event disguised as a religious event is the most obscene use of religion in a political context since the Republicans declared last fall that Democrats planned to ban the Bible... <br /> <br />...Don’t be fooled into thinking Bill Frist or his right-wing allies represent Christianity. What they truly represent are political hacks willing to misuse Christian tradition for their own political agenda...</em></blockquote> <br />I'm very pleased to see mainstream Christians like Currie speaking up. We can only hope that in the coming few days, Dr. Bill Frist will have a Tom DeLay moment - and decide that discretion is the better part of political valor. We call on him to disavow this divisive (and unnecessary) use of a religious "event" to further the reich wing agenda. That Frist (or any Republican) would use the currently hypercharged political environment for their own ill-gotten gains is beyond the pale. <br /> <br />But not entirely unexpected. <br />2005/04/bill-frists-hustle.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111361378467163313Sat, 16 Apr 2005 01:09:00 +00002005-04-15T21:09:44.670-04:00Gambling Retirement Money<img src="; align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10"><b>News item</b>: <a href=" St. Suffers Worst Day in Two Years</a> <br /> <br />I'm sure many readers remember their tears as they opened their 401K statements in the months after the "bubble burst" back in the late 1990's. What had seemed like a free ride to an excellent retirement was suddenly exposed for the risk that it was - a crapshoot. <br /> <br />Any investment is a gamble. And one of the cardinal rules of gambling is: the odds are always in favor of the house, no matter what the game. A working knowledge of any game of chance can reduce the odds (and the risk), but never so much as to remove the house advantage. <br /> <br />In the past few days, a lot of Wall Street gamblers have seen their portfolios shrink substantially. The markets have been treading water for months, but this week may indeed signal a significant turn to a bad bear market. I know, I know...investment advice always tells you to invest your money for the long haul, but still... <br /> <br />How long is "long haul"? How many out there still haven't seen their 401K's recover from the drubbing they took 5, 6, or 7 years ago? Is that long enough? Driving home tonight, I heard a very interesting analogy between 401K's and Bush's privatization Ponzi scheme - in the '90s, people were willing to risk dumping their own cash into 401K's for two reasons: <br /> <br />1. The return was excellent at the time AND <br />2. They knew that if worse came to worse, there was always the Social Security safety net. <br /> <br />When all is said and done, risk perception will sink George Bush's grandiose plans for his legacy (privatizing Social Security). History isn't on his side. <br /><p></p>2005/04/gambling-retirement-money.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111359610859552324Fri, 15 Apr 2005 20:13:00 +00002005-04-15T16:15:08.596-04:00A Few Items Concerning Gays and Lesbians<a href=" Texas you can be fired for being a Lesbian</a><br />Merry Stephens is finding out, even after coaching the town Girl's Basketball teams to record results.

But the decision for the Democratic Party to back such a sharp online slap at the Republican leader marks a new strategy by the party to add interactivity to a series of scandals dogging the House Republican leader that have often been too complex for the average voter.<br /><br />In a bold move, the Democratic campaign committee has also replaced their own website with the DeLay-themed extravaganza.<br /><br />Perhaps most significantly, the site attempts to tie the entire membership of the House Republican caucus to their embattled leader.

He must be, because he and I are on a very close karmatic wavelength.

Without paying direct homage to Frank Luntz, he at least acknowledges the impact that the paid spinners have on news writers turing a journalistic phrase. <a href="; target="newwindow">See if this rings a bell</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>... Labeling bias works to marginalize political outsiders while powerful elites receive their full honorifics. Howard Dean was antiwar firebrand Howard Dean but George W. Bush was never referred to as pro-war crusader George W. Bush. The press calls the founder of the Moral Majority "the Reverend Jerry Falwell," not "radical cleric Jerry Falwell." Even the word "cleric" implies foreignness to a xenophobic public; American religious leaders are the more familiar "ministers" rather than clerics. Instead of telling readers and viewers what to think with cheesy labels, why not let public figures' quotes and actions speak for themselves? Besides, well-known players like al-Sadr and Falwell don't require an introduction.<br /><br />Loaded labels are commonly used to influence the public's feelings about groups of people as well as individuals. Under Ronald Reagan the Afghan mujahedeen, who received CIA funding and weapons that they used to fight Soviet occupation forces, were called "freedom fighters." Iraqis who take up arms against U.S. occupation troops, on the other hand, are called "insurgents," a word that implies rebellion for its own sake. This was the same term used by the New York Times and other mainstream media to refer to anti-U.S. fighters in Vietnam during the 1960s. Only later, when the Vietnam War became unpopular, did American newspapers begin calling the former "insurgents" members of an infinitely more patriotic-sounding "resistance...</em></blockquote><br />While Rall is a <a href="2004/12/perspective-evolution.html" target="newwindow">wee bit behind the curve</a> with this column, he hits the bullseye.<br /><br /><em><font size="-1">(Thanks to one of our Zonebots, Eric, for the pointer to Rall's article.)</font></em><br /><p></p>2005/04/radical-lawmaker-bill-frist-activist.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111357178888122090Fri, 15 Apr 2005 13:29:00 +00002005-04-15T09:31:06.390-04:00It is Time for Progressives to Show Their FaithIt appears the Republicans are going to get explicit in their campaign for the "nuclear option," with Bill Frist joining Radical Right Ring Christian Clerics in a blatant political event on April 24th. (I'll ignore for the moment that the meme set to come out of this event, that "Democrats are anti-faith," is so blatantly political that it SHOULD threaten the tax-exempt status of the religious groups involved. But, hey, why the FUCK didn't the <a href=" York Times</a> report anything on that issue?) <br /><blockquote><em>As the Senate heads toward a showdown over the rules governing judicial confirmations, Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, has agreed to join a handful of prominent Christian conservatives in a telecast portraying Democrats as "against people of faith" for blocking President Bush's nominees.<br /><br />Fliers for the telecast, organized by the Family Research Council and scheduled to originate at a Kentucky megachurch the evening of April 24, call the day "Justice Sunday" and depict a young man holding a Bible in one hand and a gavel in the other. The flier does not name participants, but under the heading "the filibuster against people of faith," it reads: "The filibuster was once abused to protect racial bias, and it is now being used against people of faith." <br /><br />Organizers say they hope to reach more than a million people by distributing the telecast to churches around the country, over the Internet and over Christian television and radio networks and stations</em>.</blockquote><br />Seems clear to me. A whole conference arranged for by Radical Right Wing Christian Clerics with the sole purpose of labelling Democrats as "anti-Christian" and Bill Frist is headlining the conference scheduled to be broadcast to radical right-wing churches throughout the nation. That violates the non-profit status of those churches, but make no mistake, absolutely nothing will be done to enforce the tax laws. This is Bush's Administration, after all. <br /><br />Two things. Progressives of faith need to speak up. They need to say specifically that faith belongs in the heart, and also in caring for others. They need to decry the kind of demonization the Radical Right Wing Christian Clerics view as moral. Demonization = moral? How twisted can they get? <br /><br />Second, we need to support Republicans like John McCain, who has said he will not be voting for the Nuclear option. <br /><br /><blockquote><em>On Thursday, one wavering Republican, Senator John McCain of Arizona, told a television interviewer, Chris Matthews, that he would vote against the change. <br /><br />"By the way, when Bill Clinton was president, we, effectively, in the Judiciary Committee blocked a number of his nominees," Mr. McCain said</em>.</blockquote>2005/04/it-is-time-for-progressives-to-show.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111356775320367445Fri, 15 Apr 2005 12:22:00 +00002005-04-15T22:17:03.753-04:00Bush on Payolagate : No Regrets<img src="; align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10">George Bush held court with editors from around the country at a conference in Washington yesterday. <a href="; target="newwindow">Editor and Publisher</a> captured the essence of Bush's time on stage, but one thread that seemed to weave through the entire affair - he has no regrets about anything.<br /><br />In answering a question about the administration's <a href=" on paid shills</a> to push administration agendas:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>In response to questions from editors at the annual American Society of Newspaper Editors conference, the president also declined to comment on subpoenas for reporters in the Plame case and said that government payments to commentators, such as the 'pundit payola' Armstrong Williams received, are acceptable as long as they are disclosed.</em></blockquote><br />In other words, the only problem he sees with the ongoing pay-for-propaganda scandal is that the reporters and pundits involved got caught.<br /><br />(Where have we heard the <a href="2005/04/cult-of-life-day-after.html" target="newwindow">"got caught" theme</a> before?)<br /><br />Beyond the payolagate issues, Bush also addressed the issue of administration propaganda disguised as "soft news" pieces, which are then peddled by government agencies to local news outlets as broadcast filler. Again, no regrets. Only that they got caught. And he shifted responsibility from the agencies that produce the propaganda to <a href="; target="newwindow">the news outlets that run the clips</a> without identifying them as government produced. His choice of words were interesting, especially on a day that the Senate passed legislation forbidding the use of such propaganda tactics.<br /><br />Not one time - not once - did he acknowledge that the concept of "open government" requires a high threshold of transparency in order to be held accountable "<a href="; target="newwindow">by the consent of the governed</a>". In fact, he went out of his way to make sure the editors knew that his administration does, in fact, despise the media and any kind of investigative light thrown into the dark corners of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.<br /><br />Regrets? He's had a few. But mostly that he got caught.<br /><br />And yesterday afternoon, <a href="; target="newwindow">the department heads</a> from <a href="; target="newwindow">Ministry of Truth</a> applauded politely, on cue.<br /><p></p>2005/04/bush-on-payolagate-no-regrets.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111356763109618602Fri, 15 Apr 2005 12:19:00 +00002005-04-15T08:20:31.096-04:00Wide to the Right<img src="; align="left">The President threw out the first pitch yesterday in the debut of the new Washington Nationals.

Featured is Maryland Delegate Doyle L. Niemann, (D-Prince George's). He said he voted in favor for his daughter Cassi. <br /><br />Cassi is only 25, and she doesn't seem all that politically plugged in, but this whole thing got her on the cover of the Washington Post.

But I will give the Heritage wonks this - they are <em>true</em> conservatives (at least in a fiscal sense), rather than the neofaux con's that populate the 495 Beltway these days. <br /> <br />As tomorrow's dreaded tax day approaches, an article on how George Bush's administration is <a href="; target="newwindow">spending <i>your</i> money finds that</a>: <br /> <br /><blockquote><em>Washington will spend $22,039 per household in 2005 -- the highest inflation-adjusted total since World War II, and $4,000 more than in 2001. The federal government will collect $18,248 per household in taxes. The remaining $3,791 represents the budget deficit per household, which, along with all prior government debt, will be dumped in the laps of our children...</em></blockquote> <br />The five highest cost line items (excluding Social Security) out of each household's contributions are:<ul> <br /><li>Defense: $4,451 <br /><li>Low-income programs: $3,559 <br /><li>Interest on the federal debt: $1,582 <br /><li>Federal employee retirement benefits: $838 <br /><li>Education: $627</ul> <br />Zero in on number 3 - the interest on the federal debt. <br /> <br />That's the "birth tax". Or as future financial historians may characterize it, the "Bush tax". Your children and grandchildren thank you. <br /> <br /><p></p> <br />2005/04/tax-day-eve-how-your-tax-dollars-work.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111350498060552146Thu, 14 Apr 2005 18:55:00 +00002005-04-14T14:56:20.606-04:00WalMart and Rick Santorum: Perfect MatchWell, it would be perfect if they sold puppies. . . <br /><br />Read all about it at <a href=";.

It's excerpted several places on the web, but it might be worth your while to read the entire statement for insight into Rudolph's thought process. <a href="; target="newwindow">Here's a few snippets you won't find on CNN or Fox</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>...Absent any corroborative fact or witness to explain why I was in Birmingham that day, a city I have never visited before, and a good reason for fleeing to the woods for five years, I was fighting an uphill battle. Add to these two paramount facts <strong>Washington's junk science about explosive residues</strong>, a media obsessed with the specter of right wing extremist violence, we had an extremely difficult case to win. But Washington had a problem and this is why they entered into this deal.<br /><br />The problem that they had was that a significant minority of the population, especially here in Northern Alabama, regarded what happened there at the abortion facility on that day of Jan. 29, 1998, as morally justified...<br /><br />...At various times in history men and women of good conscience have had to decide when the lawfully constituted authorities have overstepped their moral bounds and forfeited their right to rule...<br /><br />...There is no more fundamental duty for a moral citizen than to protect the innocent from assault. This in inherit in the values of all higher civilizations. You have the right, the responsibility and the duty to come to the defense of the innocent when the innocent are under assault. Would you protect your children from the clutches of a murderer? Would you protect your neighbors' children when they were under assault? If you answered yes to both of these, then you must support the use of force as justified in attempting to prevent the murder that is abortion...<br /><br />...There are those who would say to me that the system in Washington works. They say that pro-life forces are making progress, that eventually Roe v. Wade will be overturned, that the culture of life will ultimately win over the majority of Americans and that the horror of abortion will be outlawed. Yet, in the meantime thousands die everyday...<br /><br />Along with abortion, another assault upon the integrity of American society is the concerted effort to legitimize the practice of homosexuality...This effort is commonly known as the homosexual agenda. Whether it is gay marriage, homosexual adoption, hate crimes laws including gays, or the attempt to introduce a homosexual normalizing curriculum into our schools, all of these efforts should be ruthlessly opposed. The existence of our culture depends upon it...</em></blockquote><br />There was a time in the not too distant past when most reasonable people would have pooh-poo'd <a href="; target="newwindow">Eric Rudolph an ideological loon</a> (at least in polite company) on par with <a href="; target="newwindow">Theodore Kaczynski</a>. But then, even the UniBomber had his admirers. In reading Rudolph's manifesto, though, it's pretty clear that his statements fit more or less hand-in-glove with recent loony statements coming from "respectable" fringe lunatics. <br /><br />Om-day T-Lay, anyone?<br /><br />And there will come a time in the not too distant future when Rudolph's actions will be openly lionized by the Fox News-approved morons camped out on the periphery of the radical right. When Eric Rudolph entered his plea deal, he did so with no expectation that he'd spend the rest of his life behind bars. He knows that someone will eventually spring the lock for him, and he'll walk free again one day. <br /><br />There are a lot of people out there who, if not overtly agreeing with Rudolph's actions, at least sympathize with the "moral forces" that drove him. Some of those people are running the country.<br /><p></p>2005/04/eric-rudolph-fundamentalist-jihadist.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111348400844574107Thu, 14 Apr 2005 13:02:00 +00002005-04-14T09:08:15.710-04:00Scalia ScornedSometimes browsing at <a href=";, then digging a little further, makes a nice morning exercise. Duncan notes that Antonin Scalia got an earful at NYU's Vanderbilt Hall Tuesday night:<br /><blockquote>April 14, 2005 -- WHEN U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (above) spoke Tuesday night at NYU's Vanderbilt Hall, "The room was packed with some 300 students and there were many protesters outside because of Scalia's vitriolic dissent last year in the case that overturned the Texas law against gay sex," our source reports. "One gay student asked whether government had any business enacting and enforcing laws against consensual sodomy. Following Scalia's answer, the student asked a follow-up: 'Do you sodomize your wife?' The audience was shocked, especially since Mrs. Scalia [Maureen] was in attendance. The justice replied that the question was unworthy of an answer."</blockquote><br />I suppose, given the definition of sodomy as encompassing oral and anal sex, that he's probably tried it. (I wonder if he had an unfortunate incident with teeth or something. . .) But that's not as important as noting there are lots of groups speaking up wherever the man goes. The <a href=" Square News Editorial</a> blasts NYU for inviting him, but the Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression has honored Mr. Scalia. Figures he'd be honored in the South, huh? As reported in the <a href=" American</a>, Mr. Scalia is being given the <b>Muzzle Award</b>.<br /><blockquote>The Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression included the seizure when it handed out its 2005 Jefferson Muzzle awards given for perceived squelching of free expression.<br /><br />Each year, the awards mark the April 13 birthday of Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third president and First Amendment advocate.<br /><br />The Marshals Service was recognized for seizing the tape recorders of former Hattiesburg American reporter Antoinette Konz and Associated Press reporter Denise Grones during a Scalia speech at Presbyterian Christian High School on April 7, 2004.<br /><br />Neither reporter had been told before the speech they could not use tape recorders. The marshal said she was following Scalia's orders.<br /><br />"The Justice has stated that it is his First Amendment right not to speak on radio or television when it is not his wish to do so. Yet, the personal preferences of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice do not give the U.S. Marshals Service the legal authority to seize and destroy the private property of a reporter," the Jefferson Center noted in a prepared statement.</blockquote><br />It is high time Mr. Scalia got an award he will be proud to place on his mantlepiece. Just imagine Mr. and Mrs. Scalia nuzzling on the couch and contemplating a sexually illicit act, at least according to the Justice. Mrs. Scalia whispers in his ear, but Antonin is too caught up admiring his Muzzle Award to take the hint. She then gazes up at him, swears under her breath, and stalks into the kitchen. <br /><br />Ah, how beautiful.2005/04/scalia-scorned.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618977.post-111344867726187320Thu, 14 Apr 2005 03:17:00 +00002005-04-13T23:45:27.636-04:00A Glimpse at the Near Future<img src="; align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="200" height="258">Zonebots came through when we needed them.

Earlier, I wrote that I felt the government was more or less forced to deal with him - because they really didn't want the crackpot fundamentalist nature of his beliefs or religious associations coming to light.<br /><br />His actions today <a href="; target="newwindow">seem to confirm my suspicions</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - With a hint of pride in his voice and a wink at prosecutors, Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty Wednesday to setting off a deadly blast at an abortion clinic, the first plea for a string of bombings that will send him to prison for life...<br /><br />... Rudolph, dressed in a red jail uniform, <strong>winked toward prosecutors</strong> as he entered court and spoke tersely to answer a series of questions from the judge, saying the government could "just barely" prove its case if it went to trial.<br /><br />... Under the plea deal, Fulton County prosecutors agreed not to pursue future state charges in Georgia against Rudolph <strong>at the request of federal authorities</strong>, said Erik Friedly, a spokesman for District Attorney Paul Howard...</em></blockquote><br />Why?

(We've got GREAT Blogs in Philly, don't we?)<br /><br />It seems a movement is afoot, the Unitarian Jihad, <a href=" given to us by Jon Carroll of the San Francisco Chronicle</a>. They're quite democratic, almost too much so, but I like some of their suggestions (edicts seem to be anathema to them). There's some wisdom there:<br /><blockquote><i>We will require all lobbyists, spokesmen and campaign managers to dress like trout in public. Televangelists will be forced to take jobs as Xerox repair specialists. Demagogues of all stripes will be required to read Proust out loud in prisons. <br /><br />We are Unitarian Jihad, and our motto is: "Sincerity is not enough." We have heard from enough sincere people to last a lifetime already. Just because you believe it's true doesn't make it true. Just because your motives are pure doesn't mean you are not doing harm. Get a dog, or comfort someone in a nursing home, or just feed the birds in the park. Play basketball. Lighten up. The world is not out to get you, except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone.</i></blockquote><br />You can even go and get your <a href=" Jihad name</a>!

To rouse themselves, they kick off the festivities with "Soldiers of the Cross, Arise," the bloodthirstiest tune in all of Christendom: "Seize your armor, gird it on/Now the battle will be won/Soon, your enemies all slain/Crowns of glory you shall gain."<br /><br />Meet the Dominionists -- biblical literalists who believe God has called them to take over the U.S. government. As the far-right wing of the evangelical movement, Dominionists are pressing an agenda that makes Newt Gingrich's Contract With America look like the Communist Manifesto. They want to rewrite schoolbooks to reflect a Christian version of American history, pack the nation's courts with judges who follow Old Testament law, post the Ten Commandments in every courthouse and make it a felony for gay men to have sex and women to have abortions. In Florida, when the courts ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed, it was the Dominionists who organized round-the-clock protests and issued a fiery call for Gov. Jeb Bush to defy the law and take Schiavo into state custody. Their ultim

Anemari Necsulescu "Într-adins, smerit și mut, am făcut ce am putut"- Tudor Arghezi Thu, 16 Nov 2017 14:32:02 +0000 ro-RO hourly 1 Iubirea /iubirea-1663 /iubirea-1663#comments Thu, 16 Nov 2017 14:32:02 +0000 De aproape un an sunt mamă a doi copii! Pronunț asta cu voce tare  pentru că e ireal. Mi-am dorit, dar m-am temut. M-am temut că n-o să pot, n-o să știu, n-o să fiu în stare. Am fost prea ocupată pentru ca să am timp să mă pregatesc pentru viața în patru, pentru iubit copiii la fel, cu aceeași măsură, pentru drămuit atenție, organizat timp individual de calitate cu fiecare dintre copii, pentru identificat și satisfăcut nevoi pe grupe de vârstă. Procesul birocratic, țintele profesionale, viața de zi cu zi…m-au furat și am ratat etapa de pregătire. Am trecut prin furtuni de sentimente. M-am îndoit de mine, de noi. Mi-a fost frică dar m-am ridicat în picioare. Când nu mai am soluții mă întorc la iubire. “Dar tu mă iubești”, îmi spune Emi când nu mai are argumente și se știe cu musca pe căciulă. „Te iubesc, dar sunt și eu puturoasă”, spune Rebeka când îi cer ajutorul și ea vrea doar să se joace. Îmi iubesc copiii. Sunt mândră de ei, de cine devin ei cu fiecare zi petrecută pe pământ. Le respect identitățile și rădăcinile. Vorbim despre calitățile moldovenilor și ale ardelenilor în timp ce fac echilibristică culinară pentru că unul vrea șuncă cu ceapă iar  celălalt strâmbă din nas pentru că iar am gătit cu ceapă. Exersăm accente și râdem când nu ne iese. Vorbim despre cât de diferiți suntem fiecare dintre noi dar cât de bine ne este împreună.   Nu avem același sânge dar împărtășim aceeași iubire. Asta ne face să fim o familie. Ceea că vă dorim și vouă. J ]]> /iubirea-1663/feed 1 7 ani de acasă /7-ani-de-acasa-2-1643 /7-ani-de-acasa-2-1643#comments Sun, 09 Oct 2016 06:31:15 +0000   Pe 8 octombrie s-au împlinit 7 ani de când am adus acasă puiul de om. Anii nu au trecut în zbor, ci temeinic, unul câte unul. Eu am primit enorm în acești 7 ani. Emi a adus cu el iubirea necondiționată, bucuria pură, foarte mulți prieteni, empatie, informații, acces la o lume pe care nici nu o bănuiam.   De 7 ani sunt mama lui Emi și asta este ceea ce mă definește. Tot ce fac, spun, simt sau gândesc gravitează în jurul lui. Emi iubește oamenii cu o inocență care mă copleșește și mă sperie uneori. Câte e vara de lungă umblă prin cartier, bloc cu bloc, stradă cu stradă. Să-l cauți pe Emi prin cartier poate deveni o provocare. Fie îl găsești cu fetele, unde se joacă cu păpușile și pisicile, fie e la bloc cu piticii, fie închinge un fotbal la școală, fie e la plimbare însoțind o mămică cu un cărucior, fie e în casă la un prieten.  Emi știe cine urmeză să nască, cui i-a căzut un dințișor, ce cuvinte a mai învățat să pronunțe un pui de om, împarte lego și dulciuri, se joacă cu oricine-l acceptă, discută cu bunicile…Fiecare adult sau copil este un prieten de-al lui.  Ei sunt oamenii lui Emi!   Emi iubește vietățile, se întreabă și se îngrijorează în legătură cu soarta lor: de ce stau pisicile în ploaie? Ce se întâmplă cu cățelușul care a fost dus la spital? Unde este cățelușul schiop?   Emi este mereu vesel. Se trezește vesel și gata de joacă, râde molipsitor, se gâdilă enorm, se lasă zmotocit, este mereu dispus la gesturi tandre, adoră îmbrățisările, se rușinează când e în public, este îndrăzneț de sincer și  mereu relaxat în fața autorităților.   Alături de  Emi am învățat că domnul director este doar un om, liderul de la cercetași este un tătic, medicul este un prieten care te ajută când ești bolnav iar  doamna învățătoare seamănă uneori cu mine. Am mai învățat că ar fi de dorit să zâmbesc mai des, că sunt frumoasă chiar așa grăsuță cum sunt eu, că sunt iubită chiar și atunci când sunt rea (pentru că vreau să fac teme, să ne spălăm pe dinți sau să închidem tableta) și indiferent de ce se va întâmpla cu noi eu rămân mama lui. În cei 7 ani alături de Emi am râs mai mult decât am râs în toată viața mea, m-am jucat, m-am uitat la desene animate, am fost piețar, am sărbătorit păpuși, am fost aproape de muzică, am încheiat șireturi cât pentru încă șapte vieți, am plâns pentru ca apoi să râd, am descoperit monstrul din mine (fiecare mamă de băiat are unul latent în ea) și am trăit intens. ]]> /7-ani-de-acasa-2-1643/feed 13 Avortul /avortul-1629 /avortul-1629#comments Tue, 04 Oct 2016 09:36:26 +0000   Sunt al treilea copil dintr-o familie cu patru copii. M-am născut în 1971 și am luat ființă neplanificată și nesolicitată (ar fi prea dureros să afirm nedorită). Părinții mei erau săraci, extrem de săraci. Aveau deja doi  copii acasă, locuiau în condiții improprii și nu  se arăta nimic bun în orizontul lor. Am apărut nechemată, aveam să aflu la 14  ani de la bunica paternă, și mama a fost la o femeie care a ajutat-o să scape de sarcina nedorită. Și totuși, prin luna a șasea am început să  mișc spre groaza alor mei. La nașterea mea,  mama a suferit un șoc  și și-a piedut părul. Din părul ei negru ca abanosul a dispărut, pentru totdeauna,  o bună bucată  făcându-i fruntea mai  înaltă decât era necesar. La înțelegere tacită cu medicul, după ce s-au verificat membre și organe, s-a decis să fiu declarată vie. Mama era asistentă medicală și uneori solidaritatea  de breaslă funcționa. Medicul cu care a născut a întrebat-o doar câți copii mai  are acasă. Răspunsul și starea de spirit a mamei  au fost, probabil, suficiente pentru ca un medic să fie dispus să riște. Pentru mult timp pe mama a măcinat-o vinovăția că s-ar putea să mă fi tarat. Nu putea mărturisi nimănui ce s-a întâmplat cu mine în timpul sarcinii și pentru că păream sănătoasă, ani de-a rândul s-a convins că  mi-a fost afectat creierul. Și cum primii mei doi ani de școală au fost un coșmar, mama și-a confirmat singură temerile. De aceea, ai mei  au fost extrem de permisivi, răbdători și îngăduitori cu  mine (spre deosebire de felul în care se purtau cu frații mei mai mari). Al treilea copil din patru e o poziție ingrată într-o familie. Nu ești nici primul și nici ultimul, nu ești nicicum și trebuie să te lupți pentru a fi remarcat. Din cauza asta m-am simțit mereu  straniu, cumva neintegrată. La 14 ani, în plină furtună hormonală, bântuită de toate întrebările primordiale (cine sunt? de ce sunt? unde merg?) bunica paternă, după  o ceartă zdravănă, îmi trântește povestea cu avortul nereușit al mamei și lovește din plin. Universul meu se darâmă dar între mine și mama se ridică pentru totdeauna un zid. Eu nu am avut curaj să o intreb (pentru că mă temeam de răspuns) iar ea nu a avut curajul să-mi spună povestea ei. Asta ne-a împiedicat mereu să  fim prietene. Am împărțit multe momente cu mama dar cât a trăit ea nu am putut să o iert pentru că a vrut să mă avorteze dar mai ales pentru că nu am aflat despre asta de la ea. După mine,  mama a avut un  avort reușit. Ar fi trebuit să mai am un frate, cu aproape un an mai mic decât mine. Mama a avortat acasă, singură, ceilalți membri ai familiei părăsind domiciliul pentru a nu fi declarați complici. Pe mama a asistat-o, pe tot parcursul hemoragiei,  o fetiță de doi  ani care îi aducea câte un pumnuț de vată. Era  sora mea mai mare.  Cumva am aflat despre asta, așa cum am aflat că nici acest copil nu era așteptat. La doi ani după această întâmplare, ai mei au decis că mai vor un copil. Considerau că dacă au deja un băiat și două fete, ar fi  binevenit în familie încă un băiat. Sarcina a fost mult așteptată și monitorizată. Așa a venit pe lume sora mea cea mică, cel mai  bun, cuminte și adorabil copil de pe pământ. Am iubti-o cu toții din prima clipă și fiecare dintre noi, frații ei mai mari, aveam sarcini precise (cine o spală, cine o piaptănă, cine face lecții cu ea..) Îndată ce și-a făcut norma, a născut patru copii, mama avut dreptul să solcite în mod  legal avortul. Când s-a dat decretul cu 5 copii în loc de 4, mama a respirat ușurată pentru că avea deja 45 de ani și nu se mai simțea vizată. Noi toți cei patru copii am fost niște copii iubiți. M-am simițit mereu iubită de părinți, chiar dacă nu favorită. Mama umbla cu noi,  precum capra cu  patru iezi, peste tot, prin parcuri, la film…. Era mândră de noi! Eu am crescut cu sentimentul că mama mea poate orice. Era cumva molipsitoare determinarea ei de a învinge, credința ei nestrămutată că e loc pe pământ pentru toată lumea, că binele învinge până la urmă, iar cine a greșit mai primește o șansă. Mama a murit tânără, înainte de a împlini 50 de ani, fără ca eu să-i fi spus vreodată ca o iubesc, că sunt mândră de ea dar mai ales fără să-i pot cere iertare pentru aroganța de a judeca ceva ce nu înțelegeam. Mama ar fi  vrut să poată decide ce se întâmplă cu uterul ei, să aibă acces la metode de contracepție, să-și aducă  pruncii pe lume în momente de fericire și  nu de deznădejde. Mama ar fi vrut să-și poată hrăni copiii, să nu mai numere perișoarele în ciorbă, să le poată oferi un cămin potrivit, să le fie cald și să fie în siguranță.   Mama și-ar fi dorit ca nicio femeie să nu fie vreodată folosită precum vitele pentru prăsilă și toți copiii  să vină pe lume doriți și iubiți. Pentru mama și pentru toată generația ei  de femei am purtat ieri negru. #blackprotest #CzarnyProtest ]]> /avortul-1629/feed 5 Viața la castel /viata-la-castel-1458 /viata-la-castel-1458#comments Mon, 30 May 2016 15:02:15 +0000 În turnul de fildeș  de la etajul trei  viața are un ritm monoton. Micul dejun, ordine, pachețel, cafea și ceai, prânzul, ordine, lecții, afară,  birou, facturi,  reclamații la furnizorul de cablu, robinetul de la baie, duș, cină, film, desene, lectură,  toate se îngrămădesc într-o rutină predictibilă. Teiul de la fereastra castelului răspândește miresme îmbietoare atfel încât, din când în când, în poarta castelului mai poposesc: poștașul, vânzătorul  ambulant, copii în căutare de prinț jucăuș, vecini sau oameni rătăciți de  prin univers. La castel  domnește Prințesa. Ea face și desface. Cât e ziua de lungă robotește departe de castel,  peste dealuri și câmpii, dincolo de zgârie nori, încălecând 2 tramvaie și un autobuz, Prințesa e neobosită.  Cu poșeta pe umăr, unghiuțele vopsite și nasul în vânt, Prințesa purcede  în fiecare dimineață, la ora 8  fără un sfert, de la  castel și dusă-i ziua toată.   Pe înserat, Prințesa  descinde la castel și începe  a trebălui: freacă, lustruiește,  împăturește, oblojește,  se rățoiește, mi se înfoaie,  râde, lăcrimează și argumentează încercând să  țină treburile castelului  în frâu.  Uneori eșuează cu succes. Atunci se pune pe bocit, întreabă stelele și luna, pune la cale planul B-C-D, se scuză și se acuză deopotrivă până când, ostenită, ațipește. A doua  zi o ia de la capăt. Cu mai  mult elan și  mai multă determinare, cu pletele în vânt și unghiuțele lustruite Prințesa se simt puternică și de nedoborât. Câteodată, când planetele  se așează corect și toate treburile Prințesei capătă contur, toți castelanii se adună și se felicită reciproc pentru inițiativă, pentru  angajament, pentru perseverență și statornicie, pentru istețime și vioiciune.  Ce bucurie!  Atunci Prințesei nu-i mai rămâne nimic de făcut.  Poate, în sfârșit, să  admire  grădina, să se bucure de soare și să pună prinsoare că  mâine este iar  o zi  istovitoare.   ]]> /viata-la-castel-1458/feed 1 Cronica unei morți înlesnite. /cronica-unei-morti-inlesnite-1416 /cronica-unei-morti-inlesnite-1416#respond Mon, 07 Dec 2015 13:53:00 +0000 Ziarele și televiziunile au vuit o  zi  întreagă anunțând moartea  Cristinei, o adolescentă de 14 ani, aflată în grija statului român. Firesc, ne-am întrebat cu toții cine o să plătească pentru moartea copilei. Asta nu ne face pe noi un popor degrab` vărsătoriu de sânge, ci  mai degrabă persoane preocupate să se facă dreptate. Unii dintre noi mai sunt preocupați să se constituie  un excercițiu cu putere de exemplu pentru ca așa ceva să nu se mai repete. Asta înseamnă caz penal, deschiderea unei anchete, interogarea asistentului social  care s-a ocupat de caz, a psihologului care pretinde că a consiliat fetița, a directorului care a aprobat decizia managerului  de caz de a separa fetița de familia care o crescuse de la 7 luni până la vârsta de 11 ani. Jurnaliști,  mai mult sau mai  puțin preocupați de veridicitatea informației, și-au intitulat articolele în fel și chip, cât mai scandalos cu putință pentru a ne atrage nouă atenția. De dragul  adevărului, dar și pentru a cinsti memoria dispărutei, am să clarific aici anomaliile  legale. Fetița nu era adoptată, se afla în plasament la o asistentă maternală pentru că fusese abandonată la naștere. Deci, se afla de la naștere în grija statului  român pentru că asistentul maternal este un angajat al statului român. Și  aici se nasc  niște întrebări pertinente: De ce nu era Cristina adoptabilă? De ce în 14 ani nu s-a obținut o hotărâre judecătorească care să o declare adoptabilă dacă a fost abandonată la naștere? A încercat asistenta maternală, care o crescuse de mică, să o adopte? Dacă da, de ce nu a reușit? Dacă nu a încercat asistenta maternală să o adopte și nu a avut niciodată intenția asta,  de ce a permis fetiței să se atașeze atât de mult de ea, confundând-o cu mama sa? De ce nu a pregatit-o pe fetiță de momentul separării?  Se știe că asistența maternală nu  se asigură până la majorat. Consilierul DJASPC-ului a vorbit cu cele  două,  există sesiuni de consiliere în această direcție? De ce nu a fost pregătită asistenta maternală corespunzător, pentru a nu permite atașamentul fetiței dacă se avea în vedere, în planul individualizat de protecție (așa spune Legea nr. 273/2004 (r2) din 21/06/2004, că există un plan personalizat de protecție pentru fiecare copil în parte), să o separe de asistenta maternală? Dacă DJASPC a decis că fetița trebuie separată de asistenta maternală pentru a o proteja de hepatită C, cum s-a pregătit această separare? Au existat sesiuni de consiliere? I s-a explicat fetiței ce i se intâmplă și de ce? A primit doamna Toma, asistenta maternală, un alt copil în plasament după ce s-a dovedit în instanță că a fost diagnosticată greșit cu hepatită C? Dacă da, cum de a primit alt copil în plasament, dar pe Cristina, nu? Dacă nu, de ce? Cum justifică DJASPC asta? Cum poate fi mai în siguranță o fetiță de 14 ani locuind într-un apartament cu o altă fetiță, fără un adult și nu la asistenta maternală?   Legea 272/2004 privind protectia și promovarea drepturilor copilului, republicată 2014, la  Art 2 (3) ne arată că :”Principiul interesului superior al copilului va prevala în toate demersurile și deciziile care privesc copiii, întreprinse de autoritățile publice și de organismele private autorizate, precum și în cauzele soluționate de instanțele judecătorești.” Un copil este mutat de la A la B, precum o valiză, fără să i se explice ce i se întâmplă. Ne este clar tuturor că ei, cea mai importantă persoană din această poveste, nu i-a spus nimeni  ce i se întâmplă. Și mai  ales de ce. Un copil se sinucide de tristețe și disperare și niciun adult,  plătit de statul român să o  protejeze și să o educe, nu a văzut nimic. Cum  s-a respectat aici interesul superior al copilului? Care era interesul superior  al Cristinei? Toți adulții din viața Cristinei au abandonat-o. Moartea ei era previzibilă și se putea evita. Din punctul meu de vedere ar trebui să ne spună cum a fost posibil următorii: Managerul de caz/asistentul social Consilierul psihologic DJASPC Directorul DJASPC Dirigintele Cristinei Consilierul școlar de la școala unde învăța Cristina Directorul școlii ]]> /cronica-unei-morti-inlesnite-1416/feed 0 Noiembrie la Bîrca. /noiembrie-la-birca-1405 /noiembrie-la-birca-1405#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:19:39 +0000 Aflată în sudul județului Dolj, pe malul stâng al râului Desnăuți, la 40 de km de Craiova, comuna Bîrca înseamnă acasă pentru aproape 4000 de locuitori. Comuna nu are sate arondate, este doar o stradă lungă cu alte străzi ce se bifurcă confuzant de-a stânga și de-a dreapta străzii principale. Un proiect european de alimentare cu apă face accesul pe străzi lăturalnice o  provocare demnă de o soartă mai bună a bocancilor din dotare. Mașina se lasă pe strada principală și comuna se bate la pas. Analizăm starea caselor pentru a identifica cele mai mari nevoi de renovare. Intrăm în 100 de case în două zile. Este un demers ambițios, contra cronometru. Străbatem străzile cu nume de voievozi, de poeți, de personalități și, la un moment dat, ne este imposibil să spunem dacă am mai fost sau nu într-o casă sau alta. Toate seamănă între ele. Aceleași cocioabe care stau să cadă pe locatari, sărăcie lucie, copii desculți, mame cu obrazul îmbătrânit înainte de vreme de prea multe lipsuri, griji și  zbateri, bărbați porniți împotriva autorităților, suspicioși, bănuitori și deznădăjduiți. Majoritatea copiilor nu merg la școală sau la grădiniță. Părinții ne explică de ce: stigma, teama de a nu se râde de ei pentru că sunt murdari și jerpeliți îi determină să-i țină acasă. Nu pot să-i contrazic, sunt convinsă că așa stau lucrurile, dar le explic că  școala înseamnă  o șansă, poate singura pentru ei. Cei mici, de vârstă preșcolară,  nu  vorbesc românește, pentru că acasă se vorbește romani, așa că se uită în gol când ne adresăm lor. Într-o secundă realizez ce se va întâmpla cu ei când vor ajunge de vârstă școlară. Un cadru  didactic va decide că e prea greu, prea târziu și degeaba să mai încerce. În absența consilierilor școlari în școlile și grădinițele rurale, fără niciun logoped, niciun specialist în dificultăți de învățare care să-i  sprijine, eticheta e gata și abandonul școlar prevăzut.  Părinții nu vor fi capabili să le ceară drepturile la CJBRAE și  toți adulții din jurul lor îi vor abandona. Prost hrăniți, dezbrăcați, într-o stare de sănătate precară, nedormiți (noaptea oamenii se luptă cu șobolanii care au săpat adevărate galerii în cocioabele lor și atacă copiii  și porcii), fără acces real și suport pentru școlarizare, viitorul țării e pierdut. Comuna Bîrca, comuna lui Păunescu, are două grădinițe, o școală  și un liceu. Nu știu care este rata oficială a abandonului școlar aici.  Știu doar că programul  grădinițelor din rural este scurt, de la 9-12, că statul nu oferă rechizite pentru preșcolari, iar educatoarele sunt prea sărace ca să cumpere hârtie și creioane pentru toți copiii. Cine să plătească aici fondul clasei? Cine să cumpere rechizite? Cu ce lucrează  copiii din grădinițele din satele noastre? La școală lucrurile  capătă o altă amploare. Ce să  pui la pachet unui  copil pe care nu  ai  cu ce-l  hrăni  nici acasă? De unde ghiozdan, caiete și creioane? Unde să-și facă copiii lecțiile? Cine lucrează cu cei rămași  în urmă? Cum motivezi  un copil sărac să mai  vină la școală și mâine pentru că într-o zi o să i se pară mai  ușor? Un copil cu dificultăți de învățare nu e un copil nedotat intelectual,  ba din contră, poate fi extrem de inteligent, iar dificultățile sale pot fi amplificate  de vederea deficitară, de probleme de auz și subnutriție. Avem alături  de noi lideri ai comunei, persoane care s-au voluntariat să ne faciliteze accesul în comunitate, să se poziționeze în bătaia puștii  și să încaseze toate reproșurile. Ei fac parte din grupul de inițiativă locală care urmează să  se constituie într-un ONG local, să facă presiune pe autoritățile locale pentru a avea în comună mediator școlar și mediator sanitar. Este important ca omenii să-și cunoască drepturile, să fie învățați cum trebuie  să procedeze pentru a îmbunătăți viața lor și a copiilor lor. Întreb constant pe gazda noastră  din grupul  local din ce trăiesc oamenii ăștia. Mi se răspunde repetat „sociala”,  adică ajutorul  social. Înainte să aruncăm cu piatra, să ne întrebăm unde ar putea lucra oamenii ăștia.  În agricultură? Nu sunt pământuri rămase nepreluate de marii  latifundiari care-și lucrează proprietățile  cu utilaje, nu  cu oameni. În comerț? În comună sunt doar câteva magazine, deci e nevoie de puțini vânzători, iar aceia trebuie să fie știutori de carte, ceea ce pentru majoritatea populației este  o provocare. Să meargă să lucreze în altă parte! ar putea striga corul atotștiutorilor. Unde? Ce salariu să câștige pentru a-și permite să facă naveta? Iar la nivelul lor de educație știm care sunt salariile disponibile pe piață. Nu le mai rămâne decât să lucreze cu ziua pe unde apucă și sociala. Să se spele!,  vor striga vocile binevoitorilor. Unde, fraților? La ce?  La fântâna cu apă rece din capătul străzii? Să țină casa curată! , vor  pretinde alții. Cum? Au pământ pe jos, dorm cu porcul în casă de frica hoților și oricât ar mătura nu s-ar observa. Sunt săraci, dar bani să-și vopsească părul au!, vor obiecta puritanii. Vopseaua cea mai proastă e mai ieftină decât soluția pentru păduchi, iar dintr-un tub de vopsea îți vopsești  toți copiii. Să ne gândim, înainte de a emite judecăți, la faptul că în secolul 21 avem oameni care trăiesc în locuințe tip grajduri în satele românești, că ei sunt votanți, cetățeni ai acestei țări, iar pe ei  i-a abandonat primii statul. În noiembrie, la Bîrca, sub un soare arzător, am întâlnit sute de oameni ce trăiesc în sărăcie extremă. O mare parte dintre ei sunt copii! ___________________ Raportorul UN pe probleme de sărăcie extremă și drepturile omului, Philip Alston,  afirmă că pe parcursul vizitei sale în România i s-a spus frecvent că sărăcia este o alegere dar el a observat că este mai degrabă alegerea politicilor guvernamentale decât a celor ce trăiesc în sărăcie. Tot el observă că în vreme ce Uniunea Europeană și Banca Mondială precum și alți actori externi au făcut presiune pentru abordări integrative, mai multe guverne românești, succesive, au dat dovadă de lipsă  de voință politică pentru a aborda măsurile necesare, în fapt externalizând problema către donatorii internaționali.

În Georgia, la Tblisi, am stat conectată la FB non stop. Am plâns până  nu  am mai  putut să respir.  Nu știu de ce am plâns. Mi-a fost  teamă  să mă întreb. Tristețea m-a copleșit de-a dreptul așa  încât miercuri, de după vinerea neagră, la întoarcerea în țară, m-am bucurat pentru că apucasem să solicit câteva zile de concediu de odihnă. Am ieșit cu familia în piață pentru că simțeam nevoia să fiu  lângă oameni care suferă. Dar asta doar seara, pentru că ziua am zăcut paralizată de o  suferință inexplicabilă. M-am întâlnit cu cetățeni, grupuri de inițiativă, am vorbit despre siguranța în școli, despre acreditare IGSU, despre prevenție la incendiu/cutremure, despre clădiri de patrimoniu, despre legea locuirii…. A căzut guvernul, s-a făcut guvernul, s-au propus miniștri, s-au restras miniștri. S-a donat sânge, s-au donat bani. Au murit oameni,  s-au transferat răniți, s-au îngropat victime. Ne-am rugat, ne-am indignat, am blamat, am ovaționat. Eu am înregistrat totul. Știu tot ce s-a întâmplat zilele acestea până la amănunt. Mi-am sunat câțiva prieteni pentru că mi-era dor. Am făcut teme, m-am jucat cu copilul, am gătit…Am făcut tot ce era în rutina brațelor mele de ani de zile. Merg le serviciu, citesc și redactez emailuri, particip la ședințe, planific și  raportez. Mă concentrez mai greu dar zilele se scurg oricum. Apoi a căzut Parisul! Sute de oameni au  fost  loviți.  Președintele Franței anunță că va trece la represalii. Codurile  de  securitate paralizează aeroporturi, clădiri importante, evenimente. Oamenii plâng, se indignează, comemorează. Am picioarele  grele. Nu mai vor să pornească la drum.

De peste 100 de ani, în toată țara, avem cluburi de cercetășie.   Peste ani, când Emi s-a făcut suficient de mare, mi-am reamintit despre poveștile Anei. Și pentru că nimic nu e întâmplător, am cunoscut-o la un eveniment  ONGist pe Bianca Nesiu-Bedreag, pe atunci președinta Organizației Naționale Cercetașii României. Cu ea am vorbit prima oară despre Emi și cercetășie. Bianca m-a încurajat să încerc, mi-a spus cui trebuie să mă adresez și mi-a explicat ce presupune.   Când i-am povestit lui Emi despre cercetășie a fost interesat dar nu entuziasmat. Mai apoi, a auzit un băiețel din vecini povestind despre experiența lui de cercetășie și asta i-a declanșat dorința.   De peste un an și jumătate mă bucur, alături de Emi, de această experiență minunată a cercetășiei. Trăim într-o poveste, Cărțile junglei,  în care liderul este Baloo, instructori sunt Chil, Akela, Bagheraa & Kaa. Micii cercetași sunt lupișori și merg în fiecare săptămână in haitic. Când pleacă din oraș, ei pleacă în camp, nu în excurise. Cu fiecare camp, lupișorii devin tot mai independenți, își pregătesc singuri rucsascul, și-l duc singuri, au grija de lucrurile lor, se autogospodăresc. Lupișorii sunt împărțiți pe patrule, fiecare patrulă are un lider ales/șef de patrulă și un secretar. În grup  există stegar, jurnaliști, fotografi. Lupișorii se salută cercetășește, sunt Gata oricând!, își dau un aplauz cercetășesc și cântă imnul lupișorilor. Cercetașul este prieten cu natura, prieten cu toata lumea, prieten cu Dumnezeu, este sportiv, activ și ajută pe oricine. Pe tot parcursul anului școlar, sâmbătă de sămbătâ, ne întâlnim la centru cu noii prieteni, copii din toate sectoarele capitalei, un grup care s-a tot mărit în ultima vreme. Vizităm muzee, întâlnim profesioniști din diverse domenii, participam la evenimente cercetășești, ne pregătim pentru camp-uri, povestim & împărtășim. Disciplina nu e impusă doar  lupișorului ci și   părintelui de lupișor. Am vorbit cu atâta pasiune despre cercetășie încât astăzi ne sunt colegi Tudor & Petru, Răzvan, Sara, Alin & Miruna, prieteni pe care i-am adus aproape de acest fenomen. Aseară, în parcul Carol, la Festivalul Luminii, pe aleile invadate de copii & părinți, m-am simțit parte dintr-o lume mai bună în care noi toți suntem prieteni și împărtășim aceeași viziune despre lume și viață.

Mă stabilesc într-un colț cu vedere bună spre sală, lângă grupul  neclasificabil și mă lipesc de o doamnă în vârstă.  Inițiez un dialog, curioasă fiind să aflu cine este și cum a ajung aici. Vorbim despre vreme, film, pentru ca apoi să ne îndreptăm împreună spre barul amenajat.Vioaie și rapidă în gesturi, doamna se servește din toate cele expuse și-mi solicită, pe alocuri, ajutorul.  Mănâncă rapid, cu poftă, dar organizat, fără să atragă atenția asupra ei și fără incidente. Mă uit, cu coada ochiului, în farfuria ei și  mă mir de amestecul de cărnuri  și legume. Până să mă dezmeticesc, doamna a mai făcut un tur și  revine cu prada.   Mănâncă cu apetitul  unei persoane de 30-40 de ani deși arată trecută de 60. Gândul îmi zboară la tata care nu mai iese din casă de 20 de ani, mai departe piață sau doctor, și  care se mișcă extrem de lent. Sunt în profundă admirație deja și habar nu am când a ajuns doamna la desert. Prăjituri diverse, dar și un amalgam de fructe dispar cu repeziciune din farfurie. Doamna îmi face recomandări. Eu mă scuz și-i explic că nu sunt într-o formă fizică potrivită  cu dulciurile la cină. Relaxată îmi comunică că ei îi permite și silueta și  diabetul pentru că nu-l  are. Politicioasă o întreb cum reușește. Îmi spune că urcă pe munte. Conștientă de efectul spuselor  ei, începe să-mi povestească  cum merge pe munte săptămânal. Așa și-a petrecut tinerețea, așa și-a învățat copiii dar și nepoții. Cu toții iubesc urcatul pe munte. Pentru că are 80 de ani  și nu mai poate căra un rucsac greu, alege urcușuri de o  zi. Se suie în tren dimineața, își  face un plan, împreună cu prietenii cu care împărtășește această pasiune, și  se întoarce seara. Deja mă simt oribil. Am 44 de ani, sunt supraponderală și nu am nici pe jumătate vivacitatea doamnei. O întreb cum își găsește prieteni de cățărat. Îmi arată grupul divers greu de catalogat și-mi  spune că face parte din Clubul Floarea de Colț, un club alpin, cu oameni  în majoritate singuri, care își petrec timp de calitate împreună.   Mărturisesc că nu am auzit despre club și îndrăznesc să o întreb ce a adus-o aici în seara asta. Mi-a  spus că a fost la un alt eveniment, în urmă cu câteva zile,unde a auzit despre vizionarea de astăzi. În general cei din club se informează frecvent,  seniorii mai mult telefonic, în legătură cu  astfel de evenimente. Mai apoi fac cunoștință cu Diana și domnul Costel. Ea în jur de 45 de ani, el peste 65.  De la ei  nu scot nimic, așa că mă întorc la personajul meu. O întreb dacă merge des la evenimente. Senină îmi  spune că aproape  în fiecare zi. Nu stă acasă, nu o sperie orele târzii, e avidă de lume și de activitte culturală.   O întreb dacă soțul i-a împărtășit pasiunea pentru munte sau  s-a lăsat convins de dânsa. Îmi spune că a avut noroc, a întâlnit mare iubire și au avut pasiuni comune. Concluzionez, ca pentru mine, că e mai bine că se menține activă, decât să stea acasă  îngropată  în amintiri. Mă contrazice și-mi  spune că  a avut o viață frumoasă și a strâns numai amintiri  frumoase, pe cele urâte a preferat să le uite. Tatonez terenul și presupun că a avut o viață fără provocări  majore. Atunci îmi  spune că în momentele cheie, după ce a încercat tot ce putea ea omenește să facă, s-a lăsat în voia sorții și lucrurile  s-au rezolvat de la sine. Pentru ea credința a fost o soluție.   Ca să exemplifice, îmi povestește că în `56 a fost exmatriculată din toate facultățile din țară. Era studentă la ingierie. Ea, împreună cu  un alt coleg, au căzut victimele unei  făcături. Ei i s-a părut că făcătura  este atât de evidentă încât a plecat relaxată în vacanță gândind că la întoarcere va demonta totul. După vacanță i s-a ridicat legitimația de student și interzis accesul în facultate. Cu greu a pătruns la Decan care i-a dat dreptate dar i-a spus ca decizia e la Rector. La Rector  nu a reușit să intre dar a depus un memoriu. Nu a primit niciodată răspuns la memoriu. Dosarul prost și făcătura păreau că i-au pecetluit soarta. Când credea că totul  e pierdut, profesorul de matematică, comunist ilegalist, a intervenit la vârful partidului pentru că a-și apăra cei  doi studenți merituoși. A pierdut un an universitar dar și-a putut continua studiile.   Mă întreabă cât e ceasul, preocupată să nu pierdem vizionarea. Îmi spune că își dorește un loc mai în spate pentru că are ochii buni și-I place să vadă panoramic.Nici la teatru nu-I  place să stea prea aproape  de scenă. La Ateneu, unde are abonament de când era liceană, stă tot în spate pentru că are auz bun. Ar fi vrut să fie sunetist, dar a impiedicat-o dosarul. Așa, s-a făcut inginer de telecomunicații. Asta explică, spune ea, de ce e ea așa de comunicativă, pentru că domeniul  ei de activitate stimula comunicarea.   O domnișoară se apropie și ne invită în sală. Ne strângem poșetele și ne luăm la revedere, dar nu înainte de a ne prezenta. Se recomandă Valerie Gogan. Îmi spune că în buletin e Valerica dar acasă i s-a spus mereu Valerie. Numele îmi rezonează cumva dar mă grăbesc spre sală. Ajunsă acasă caut pe google numele și aflu că este al unei actrițe scoțiene. Mă simt trasă  pe sfoară. Poate că nici nu o  cheamă așa, nu  are 80 de ani și clubul de apliniști nu există.   Caut clubul și-l găsesc. Intru pe forum, mă  uit la poze din drumeții, citesc postările…Cred sincer că personajul  meu există și într-o oarecare măsură  este așa cum s-a prezentat.   ]]> /valerie-gogan-un-personaj-1390/feed 1 Lecțiile lui Emi. Despre strădanie. /lectiile-lui-emi-despre-stradanie-1387 /lectiile-lui-emi-despre-stradanie-1387#comments Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:27:09 +0000 Emi are dificultăți la școală. Să nu se înțeleagă greșit, Emi este un băiețel extrem de inteligent, doar că are propriul  lui ritm de învățare, deloc corelat cu programa școlară sau ritmul clasei. De aceea, am stabilit, încă de anul trecut, în perfect consens cu Doamna, că este mai important să te străduiești, iar strădania nu are nimic de a face cu rezultatul. Pare absurd ca într-o societate extrem de concurențială, cu un sistem educativ bazat exclusiv pe ierarhia notelor, eu să îi predic copilului meu această teorie. Dacă ne uităm cu onestitate la tabloul general, acela în care vorbim despre școlarizare de masă integrativă dar continuăm să evaluăm în funcție de patul lui Procust, și nu având în vedere evoluția fiecărui copil în raport cu sine (de unde a pornit și unde a ajuns) pentru că așa prevede programa, atunci ce șanse reale de integrare are un copil diferit față de ceilalți? Diferit nu are sens peiorativ. Sensul peiorativ îl dăm noi! Când un copil petrece cel puțin 4 ore zilnic efectuând teme, în condițiile în care majoritatea celor de vârsta lui petrec cel mult 2 ore efectuând aceleași teme, dar primește constant calificativ insuficient sau suficient, ce îl poate motiva pe acel copil  să continue? Ce îl poate ține departe de neputința  lui “eu nu sunt la fel  de deștept ca ceilalți copii!” sau “E prea greu,  nu are rost. Și asa eu  nu știu.” Ce poate să-l țină pe mai departe de depresie, abandon școlar sau, la extreme, de sinucidere?   Cât știu profesorii  despre zbaterea acestor copii care urlă în tăcere? Cât de pregătită este școala pentru integrarea lor reală? Cât de pregătiți sunt părinții să înțeleagă ruptura dintre nevoie și sistem, efortul propriului copil și nedreptatea sistemului de evaluare?   Emi  a venit acasă cu rezultatele de la testul de matematică și testul de română. Nu are importanță rezultatul, am stabilit deja. Așa că noi l-am felicitat pentru strădanie, pentru progres (progresul său personal de la ultimul test și până la cel prezent) și ne-am întors la ale noastre.   Azi dimineață, în timp  ce se îmbrăca pentru școală, gângurind de freamătul nerăbdării de a se reîntâlni cu colegii, m-a anunțat că unul dintre colegii lui de clasă (să-i spunem Zeus) a fost pedepsit de mama lui pentru rezultatele de la teste.   Cum așa?, mă arăt eu mirată. Și Emi  începe să-mi enumere ce nu mai are Zeus voie să facă (să se joace  pe calculator, să meargă  afară, să..). Eu rămân mută de indignare pentru că eu știu că Zeus este un băiețel ce merge în ritmul clasei și are rezultate foarte bune la învățătură. Eu presupun că Zeus a luat un calificat bine în loc de foarte bine și indignarea îmi crește.   Tocmai când stăteam să explodez, Emi se oprește zâmbind în ușa camerei mele și-mi spune:  „mami, ce bine că tu nu ești așa, tu  nu pedepsești pentru calificativ”. Profit de oportunitate și-i reamintesc lui Emi că cel mai important lucru în viață este să te străduiești. Emi dă  din cap aprobator și continuă: ”să știi că Zeus mai copiază după  copii la teste. Eu nu copiez!  Eu mă străduiesc!„   ]]> /lectiile-lui-emi-despre-stradanie-1387/feed 3
