Civilization in Decline

Sweden's couple in Kinda Municipality had just been denied generous welfare benefits because they object to the government's work requirements. The husband wanted the payments even though, he wrote, "Conventional work is out of the question for me, both in terms of my conscience and on an intellectual level, as it seems objectionable with regard to both my personal well-being and the well-being of society as a whole. Emotionally, too, (conventional work) creates unbearable pain and dejection."
As a 27-year-old woman laid dying from a stab wound incurred at a Wichita, Kansas, convenience store, at least five customers stepped over her to enter the store, including one who stopped to photograph her on a cell phone camera.
NHL player Derek Boogaard, an "enforcer" known for his willingness to brawl, opened the Derek and Aaron Boogaard Fighting Camp in Regina, Saskatchewan, to train teenage hockey players in that highly essential skill.

Deep Thoughts*)

*If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone.
*If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
*Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't we all be brothers?
*As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.
*Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window.

*When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.

*I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

*) by Jack Handey

No More Former Yugoslav Republic...

On September 20, 2007 Canada had recognized Republic of Macedonia by its constitutional name. Macedonians started immigrating to Canada over a century ago and have helped build Canadian society in all spheres of life - social, economic, and political. Today, around 200,000 Macedonians live in Canada.
Macedonia is also the name of Greece's northern province, birthplace of Alexander the Great, and Athens objects to the use of the name as a "sign of territorial ambitions"...

Iggy

Last night Iggy Pop received the Freddie Mercury Lifetime Achievement Award at the Vodafone Live Music Awards (UK). The 60-year-old punk rocker, whose career has spanned five decades, was chosen by a panel of music experts for his electric live performances and iconic anthems. He has been dubbed the 'godfather of punk', is famed for his wild onstage antics, which include stage diving, cutting himself with brokenbottles, vomiting and exposing his appendage.
I love his voice in Cry for Love...

How old?

Cuban speleologists discovered fossil remains of giant crocodiles and dugongs that are 20 million years old. The remains date back from the Miocene period.
The fossils were discovered 30 metres below a slope in a cave, 350 km east of Havana. Crocodiles originate from a period that ended 65 million years ago, while dugongs are mammals that still live in tropical areas...

Dateline:~)

A Bosnian couple are getting divorced after finding out they had been secretly chatting each other up online under fake names.
Sana Klaric, 27, and husband Adnan, 32, from Zenica, poured out their hearts to each other over their marriage troubles, and both felt they had found their real soul mate.
The couple met on an online chat forum while he was at work and she in an internet cafe, and started chatting under the names Sweetie and Prince of Joy.
They eventually decided to meet up - but there was no happy ending when they realised what had happened.
Now they are both filing for divorce - with each accusing the other of being unfaithful.
Sana said: "I thought I had found the love of my life. The way this Prince of Joy spoke to me, the things he wrote, the tenderness in every expression was something I had never had in my marriage.
"It was amazing, we seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriages - and how right that turned out to be.
"We arranged to meet outside a shop and both of us would be carrying a single rose so we would know the other.
"When I saw my husband there with the rose and it dawned on me what had happened I was shattered. I felt so betrayed. I was so angry."
Adnan said: "I was so happy to have found a woman who finally understood me. Then it turned out that I hadn't found anyone new at all.
"To be honest I still find it hard to believe that the person, Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things to me on the internet, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years."

Jim Morrison Quotes

*Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.
*Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
*Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
*Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to-letting a person be what he really is.
*I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.
*I believe in a long, prolonged derangement of the senses to attain the unknown. Our pale reasoning hides the infinite from us.
*I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable.
*I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
*Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you.
*Music inflames temperament.
*Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.
*The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.
*Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.
*When you make your peace with authority, you become authority.
*Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Ten Years After

Most Intriguing Conspiracy Theories to Date

Besides the well known theories like - the USA destroyed the World Trade Center (read here), and The HIV virus was created to eradicate homosexuals (read here), the boldest are the following:

Underground Reich
David Emory, a TV and radio shows' author claims that the world is ruled by the Underground Reich. To clarify, the entire infrastructure that helped Hitler gain power, for instance the heavy industry, banking, and the military, has survived World War II. Many war criminals from that period have successfully evaded trial and resumed their lives in western countries, where they were able to survive because of the fear of communism. They infiltrated governments, armies, companies, and intelligence agencies and they control the world from those positions. The Underground Reaich thus represents an ominous, merciless global capitalism.
Diabetes is curable
Diabetes is really curable, but it is in the interest of the pharmaceutical industry to only remove the symptoms. It has been curable for about 40 years, but big companies realized that symptoms of diabetes have high commercial value so they are launching products on the market that only remove them, while the illness remains. Food companies, which produce food made of refined flour and sugar that causes blood sugar to suddenly rise and drop, are also involved in the conspiracy.
Project Disclosure

is a non-profit research organization that deals with the understanding of the UFO phenomenon. For years, they have asked for a U.S. Congress hearing on extraterrestrial presence on Earth and for a law to be passed that would ban positioning weapons in the Earth orbit. They think that our planet has been visited by aliens for centuries and the contact has been most intense since 1947. They think that, from time to time, extraterrestrial ships would land and sometimes be incapacitated or seized, especially by teams operating in the U.S. Extraterrestrial life forms have been studied for more than 50 years. A very narrow circle of people knows about this and the organization thinks that a serious public debate should be started about the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence and their visits to our planet.

Novak Djokovic you've never seen before

Apart from being an excellent tennis player, Novak Djokovic is well-known as a great entertainer and impersonator of other famous tennis players.


He is currently behind Federer and Nadal in the ATP rankings, but if karaoke contests counted, the situation would be a whole lot different.

Aleister Crowley surfaces again

This occultist, once dubbed the most evil man in Britain who died in 1947 , had inspired Jimmy Page, who is a big collector of Crowley's writings and even bought his Scottish estate. Black Sabbath eulogized him in the song Mr. Crowley. His face is one of the many on the cover of the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper album (top row second from left, next to Mae West.). He appeared at No. 74 in a poll of the 100 greatest Britons, just ahead of Robert the Bruce and Bob Geldof. And now Iron Maiden's frontman Bruce Dickinson wrote a screenplay and is making supernatural horror movie The Chemical Wedding inspired by Aleister Crowley.
Check out some of his work here.

George Orwell spied on ...

...by MI-5! Orwell first came to the attention of the intelligence community when MI-6 (Britain's foreign intelligence service) noted that he apparently offered to work as the Paris correspondent for the Workers Life publication. They monitored this socialist writer for more than two decades, labeling him a communist. "This man has advanced communist views and several of his Indian friends say that they have often seen him at communist meetings. He dresses in a bohemian fashion both at his office and in his leisure hours." (?!) In 1930s Orwell fought against Franco in the Spanish civil war and was talked about as someone who "has been a bit of an anarchist in his day and in touch with extremist elements." The MI-5 officer questioned what that meant. It emerged that Orwell - referred to in the documents by his real name Eric Blair - was thought to be an "unorthodox communist" who did not agree fully with Communist Party views...

1984

Animal Farm

In the middle of the Caribbean - Lost Paradise

Haiti is the world's first black republic. It was a beacon for blacks, but it has never lived up to its promises. It is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. It obtained independence from France over two centuries ago, but today it's often mentioned as a classic example of a failed state, a country which is unable to control its territory and is unable to provide its people with the most basic services, such as water, electricity, education, health care and justice.
Port-au-Prince has grown exponentially from one million to three million in the past two decades. Most of the people who arrived there have little or no education: 70% of Haitians are illiterate. They wound up in filthy, overcrowded slums with almost no job opportunities. Crime surged. And then the United States started deporting American criminals of Haitian origin back to their country. They began forming gangs, which now terrorise the slums and much of the rest of the capital.
No one is safe in the city. Blacks, whites, adults, elderly people and even children leave their homes at their own peril: up to 30 people a day are kidnapped. Their relatives or friends have to pay thousands of dollars to secure their release.
Until recently capital submerged in garbage. But then came the Clean Streets Project. It is run by an international aid organisation, the Pan American Development Foundation. "There seems to be a correlation between clean streets and the perception of good governance. Every day people head out onto the streets of Port-au-Prince, wearing bright yellow T-shirts with the slogan - Respect yourself. Clean your country."
Everyone hopes these small steps will inspire bigger that will better the life in this beautiful country.
