2007-11-04 17:14 Si lo prohíben, léelo
Vía A Nosa Biblioteca me entero de que del 29 de septiembre al 6 de octubre se celebra en Estados Unidos "La Semana de los Libros Censurados", una actividad auspiciada por la Asociación de Bibliotecas Americana. Con ver las razones que se utilizan para tratar de prohibir un libro tenemos una idea de lo absurdo del asunto. Veamos algunos de los casos que se presentan en The Forbidden Library : 1. Zen Buddhism: Selected Writings. D.T. Suzuki. Doubleday. Challenged at the Plymouth-Canton school sys …

2007-10-20 10:20 Mormon Politics Time Out
Mark Brown would probably like George Orwell's aphorism: "To see what is in front of our nose requires a constant struggle." In the wake of Harry Reid's speech at BYU, 'naclers have been struggling with the role of politics in our religion.

www.myspace.com/blueskysunshine "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

University life is still hectic but I'm getting used to it once again (when I'm completely settled it will be time for Christmas holls, clearly) and today I found the time to put Pride & Prejudice in my mp3 and now I can listen to Elizabeth and Darcy bicker all day long. *glows* Besides that, I felt like memeing, so here it is, pass by if you shall :) - * those you have read - + those you started, but didn't finish - # those you own Embolden those you loved - Add three books after the last one 0 …

2007-10-15 17:47 I Had No Choice
Original Essay for Powell's Books "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." George Orwell I never intended to be a revolutionary. In March 2003 when the U.S-led invasion of Iraq was launched I was in the midst of another full mountaineering season in Alaska. However, unlike earlier seasons, I was unable to devote myself wholeheartedly to my time in the mountains, which I consider my sanctuary. I retained my links with the less divine through radio and pho …

2007-10-11 22:16 The Real Meaning of Freedom
by Ron Paul, MD September 6, 2007 œ Man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts. Ronald Reagan We ve all heard the words democracy and freedom used countless times, especially in the context of our invasion of Iraq. They are used interchangeably in modern political discourse, yet their true meanings are very different. George Orwell wrote about œmeaningless word …

2007-10-06 11:16 It's all tea to me
If you visit the Caribbean and ask for tea, you d better be clear on what kind of tea you want because whether it s coffee, Milo, Ovaltine, cocoa, chocolate, Horlicks or traditional tea, we call all of it tea! In fact, to differentiate you might hear us say coffee-tea, Milo-tea, cocoa tea or even tea-tea :) I think most of us would fail George Orwell s 11 rules for making tea, miserably, but, as you can read in This week s column, we all have our own rules when it comes to tea.

Dear Glenn; I will be calling you shortly to discuss, but I put a few points in writing that hopefully would give you a better perspective of our efforts in this area: We share your concern, and are glad you share ours, about how the œconstant, trivializing use of terms like Hitler, Nazi, Gestapo, and Holocaust in debasing civility and political discourse in America and other democracies. Given the relentless criticism of us for decades for supposedly harping to excess on the misuse of Holocau …

2007-10-04 15:06 Additional Optional Reading: David Pryce-Jones: Remembering Milovan Djilas
From the New Criterion : Egregious Moderation: David Pryce-Jones: Remembering Milovan Djilas : In the spring of 1967, I took a train from Ceausescu s Romania to Tito s Yugoslavia. Travel in Communist countries switched the imagination into overdrive. The books of Walter Krivitsky, Anton Ciliga, Victor Serge, George Orwell came menacingly alive. To ring someone up and propose a meeting was to do that person no service. Each encounter brought with it shades of the prison house. In Romania, I had m …

by Christopher L. Webber Note: This essay was submitted to The Episcopal Majority on September 26. In the intervening days, more events have occurred, about which we will comment. Meanwhile, we are pleased to offer Chris Webber's essay. George Orwell s famous book, 1984, is the most familiar statement of the way in which words can be made to say whatever we want them to say. Words can be bent and twisted until they say the opposite of what they once stood for. The Cold War gave us œDemocratic Pe …

Please copy and repost on your blogs. Help start something meaningful. Written by Marco Diaz. How can anyone think of fully pardoning Joseph "Erap" Estrada after he was sentenced to a lifetime in prison I know we all think that most of the people in the Philippine Government are corrupt, but by even considering pardoning him, they prove that there is no real justice left in the country. Might as well let all the crooks out of jail (the murderers, the child rapists, the rebels, and everyone else) …

The Wall Street Journal has a fascinating Op-Ed piece which is food for thought, Liberals or not alike. The question asked is whether Columbia receiving Hitler for a speech in 1939 would have made any difference In other words, are there limits to dialogue and discussion The question is not an idle one as Columbia University, this hallowed bastion of New York Liberalism, is receiving Mahmoud Ahmadinejerk, oops!, Ahmadinejad for a speech while this one is coming to the UN conference as if he were …

2007-09-19 14:24 On cheeseburgers and book snobs
I saw this in The Guardian's Books Blog a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had time to blog about it until now. Under the title, "Live first, write later" comes this subheading: Bookshops are littered with underdeveloped work by young authors. It takes a mature novelist to write a masterpiece. Wow. Surely no reasonable person would suggest that bookstores should peddle only masterpieces. But the post begins: Should all novelists under 30 be banned from publication That might sound a bit extreme …

2007-09-18 08:20 Web Assignment 4: Ben Peacock's Page: George Orwell's Dilemmas
This page is for Ben Peacock's students. The page for Varanya Chaubey's students is here. The page for Kristen Durham's students is here. In The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell argues that socialism is necessary: that the old capitalist system is too broken and too inhumane to be allowed to continue. Yet he does not find the socialists of his day attractive as a political movement. Write a comment of at least 200 words on what you think is the best way out of Orwell's various dilemma. Contribu …

Här är en meme som jag knyckt från Nea. Den är på engelska och jag orkar inte sitta och översätta den. Jag har svårt att tänka mig att någon skulle hindras av det. The Instructions: 1. Go look at The Guardian's list of 30 books UK librarians think everyone should read. Copy the full list. Bold the books you read and liked, strike out the ones you read and HATED, and italicize the ones you read and don't care one way or the other about. Only count books/series you've actually finished; don't even …

2007-09-09 15:47 A must read "The Law Required it" at MSNBC
Have you ever read the book 1984 by George Orwell It was written in 1949. For it to be written so much in the past, it is our wake up call to be read NOW. With more information coming out all the time about how the US Administration under the Bush Presidency has 'fumbled' the ball I found this article at MSNBC very enlightening. I'm sharing it here. To quote from the MSNBC site : "Former Justice Department lawyer Jack Goldsmith explains why he fought the White House s aggressive legal maneuvers …

2007-09-05 13:33 FOIA notations removed from Government websites
Seems the Assholes running our federal government have removed every trace of information regarding the Freedom of Information Act from government websites recently. This should piss off everyone..and I mean everyone, regardless of party affiliation. It seems our current administration doesn't want to provide information on how to use the Freedom of Information Act, also known as FOIA, and in fact is trying to keep citizens from accessing such information. From a RawStory article : Sometime over …

2007-09-04 08:08 Blair's MI6 file now open to public scrutiny
I heard on Radio 4 this morning that George Orwell s MI6 file has been released by the Public Records Office. The file had been opened on him when he was twenty five and living rough in Paris. An experience that inspired the book ˜Down and out in London and Paris. Blair stayed away from the Comintern that was operating in Paris in the early thirties, but this still did not stop MI6 noting on his file that he was a Communist Sympathiser. This slur on a man that wrote one of the greatest books in …
