How Much Does Champion Hoodies Cost

Health Policy

The issues that currently dominate the politics distract from, other equally important yet forthcoming. Certainly, the bird flu, the cartoon controversy and the Iran nuclear issue must be addressed. Because last week I read that many physicians, if not already a majority tend to agree to a unity health insurance and also for surveys of the population to such a fund tends to - not least because of the good experience of Suva, the single accident insurance - it seems me as important, also to make despite the world situation thoughts. I try this in the form of dialogue in my section godi + marti under http://www.joeehde.ch/ .

Describe Clothes What Someone Is Wearing

John

He was Alpine. If he had leisure, he sat on the wooden bench in front of his hut, his puffed satisfied over his long, curly, gray-haired beard curved pipe, and looked across the wide valley through which the wall above a small stream that swelled up to the end of the valley by the falling of the slopes to a luscious white-water river. He owned no television and no newspaper, only a little Japanese radio receiver. No one knew his family name, for children and adults called him John. Some found him way, others - and that was the majority - a "ready-spinner."

Today is a beautiful Föhnmorgen. The sun glistens where they can break through the cloud cover and raises regenverheissende bright spots on the bare rock walls, crouching in them Pines and robbed of their foliage in the winter book, and the green needle cover of the pines of the valley against the increasing and widening mixed forests. We sat long in silence, and the swelling interplay of shapes and colors of the clouds observed in the sky. John slowly sucked the smoke of his pipe in his mouth and pushed him so thoughtfully through his nicotine-stained teeth in the air. I rummaged from time to time in my jacket pocket, took out my cigarette and sucked greedily the smoke in my lungs. I was almost frightened as John with his loud, deep voice broke the silence:

"You need a goal, my boy." (No one knew exactly how old John was, but he called me - an over sixty years old - young) I was silent. He continued: "Everyone needs a goal in his life. We also need common goals. I even said that humanity needed a common goal. (Long pause. Silence, because I did not know where he was getting at) ... You were never a target, my boy, never ... That was the mistake of your life. "Well, I resisted because I had goals in my life. But he replied calmly. "Yes, you chasing after goals in your life, but it was not your goals" "Certainly, that my goals, I fought on. Once again a long silence, he nodded his head sympathetically, "Maybe hast du recht. Wie sagte einer der Philosophen: Wir werden auf diese Welt geworfen. Irgendwohin. Wir haben eine Hautfarbe; wir wachsen in einer Familie auf, die vielleicht reich ist, aber vielleicht auch arm; wir werden in einer Religion erzogen oder in den Werten des uns umgebenden Systems. ... So wählen wir dann unsere Ziele.“ Und unvermittelt fuhr er fort:

„Vor einigen Tagen sass ich wie heute morgen hier auf dieser Bank und hatte eine Vision. Du weißt, ich habe Visionen, deshalb nennen mich viele „einen fertigen Spinner“. Ich sah da unten im Tal viele, viele, grössere und kleine Pyramiden. Schnell rannte ich in die Kammer und holte meinen Feldstecher und dann entdeckte ich, dass diese Pyramiden vom Boden bis an die Spitzen aus Menschen bestanden, die da arbeiteten und dahin eilten und dorthin eilten. Auf dem Wasser fuhren Schiffe von Pyramide zu Pyramide, am Bachufer schlängelten sich Züge über Schienen und durch die Luft flogen Flugzeuge. Es regte sich ein hektisches Leben in den Pyramiden und zwischen den Pyramiden. Man kam nicht umhin an einen Ameisenhaufen zu denken und doch war es ganz anders, denn die Menschen bewegten sich zielgerichteter als Ameisen und sie stritten sich auch, das heisst meistens rangelten sie, um in der Pyramide auf eine höhere Stufe zu gelangen, was ich gut verstand, denn die untersten hatten ja am meisten zu tragen. Sie liefen eben nicht wie Ameisen über einem Haufen und durch gebahnte Wege in diesem Haufen, nein, sie waren; sie bildeten den Haufen. Einigen schien das nicht zu passen. Sie bauten auf den Vorsprüngen der Hänge Klöster. Als ich das nächstgelegene besuchte, und fragte, aus welcher Pyramide sie sich gerettet hätten, blickte mich dieser alte Mann verständnislos an und meinte, sie gehörten zur Pyramide gerade unter ihnen. Durch den Spalt, den er die Türe offen liess, erspähte mein Blick ins Innere des Klosters, das eine dicke Mauer schützte, ebenfalls eine Pyramide von Menschenleibern, natürlich eine viel kleinere, als die gewaltigen Gebilde im Tal. Auf dem Heimweg traf ich da und dort einen Einsiedler in seinem Zelt oder seiner Hütte, doch sie alle zählten sich zu einer der Pyramiden. Einige, die man nach Aussehen und Hautfarbe zu dieser oder jener hätte zählen können, behaupteten einer anderen – viel weiter entfernten – anzugehören oder zu zuneigen, doch beim genauen Hinblicken erkannte ich sofort, dass auch sie ihre ursprüngliche Pyramidenhaut nicht ablegen konnten.

Wieder zurück in meiner Hütte setzte ich mich wieder auf die Bank hier und erschrak ... erschrak zu Tode, denn plötzlich ragten aus den Pyramiden die kaltgrauen Läufe von Kanonen und um die Pyramiden düsten mit Raketen behängte Jagdflugzeuge und am Boden stauten sich hinter Türen, die wie Garagentüren aussahen Panzer in solcher Dichte, dass ich dachte, wären die lebendig, würden sie in der nächsten Minute die Blast doors. She had not, for suddenly the doors opened by themselves, and the tanks began to roll. The aircraft circled no longer their pyramids, but go to others and hissed under her wings, and their bellies turn off the rockets hissed and left footprints in the snow-white corrugated pure blue of the sky. The cannon thundered and go as streams poured down screaming people with guns on the pyramids and ran across the plain on the other pyramids. I was shocked. When evening came, I saw the whole valley littered with debris and corpses. The pyramids were destroyed and the wreckage wandered lost and helpless women, Men and children, who all seemed to find something. First, I wanted to help run and down, but what could I do in this vast devastation. I went deeply sad and heavy heart to bed and awoke in the morning full of curiosity, what are going to build these people down there after this disaster, I wondered and asked me all sorts before "" What if you imagined you, John? "I asked. . "At first I thought: you are now building a pyramid just to the different no longer able to make war. Then I thought again, no, they are building a large common cathedral, rejected this idea but again, because the people are indeed not so religious wie im Mittelalter. Vielleicht brauchen sie auch das Gerangel um eine höhere Plattform, das ich in den Pyramiden beobachten konnte, und stellte mir vor, das dieses am Besten aufgefangen werden könnte, wenn die Menschen so etwas wie ein grosses Stadion bauten, in dessen Mitte sich die Menschen um Ansehen und Macht rangeln könnten, aber immer schön kontrolliert von den anderen auf den Rängen. Ich stellte mir noch allerlei andere Sachen vor und trat gespannt vor das Haus. Und was sah ich, joeehde? Was sah ich? Sie fanden sich zusammen und bauten mit ihrem Leibern wieder dieselben Pyramiden, die sie gestern zusammengeschossen haben! Sie reparierten dieselben Klöster und viele der Einsiedler stiegen aus ihren Wäldern ins Tal und predigten or bravely helped with the pyramids to rebuild. "

John sighed deeply. I had never heard him sigh so deep, but was somewhat dissatisfied, "But what does this have to do with my crisis? What to do with it that you throw me on the head, I would not have their own goals? "John did not bring calm, leaning back against the wooden wall of his hut, called slow the smoke from the curved pipe neck in his mouth, and smiled - as I said, almost mischievous - with its wrinkles around his eyes. After a while he muttered in his deep, warm voice: "Think" - For the first time in my life I was furious auf Johannes. Ich fand ihn ekelhaft überheblich und hätte ihm am liebsten meine Faust in sein zufriedenes, mit seinen blauen Aeuglein grinsendes Gesicht geschlagen.

Matlab Cannot Install Ms Java

clash of civilizations? Just

In den Kommentaren zu den Ausschreitungen in den muslimischen Ländern sprechen wieder viele Huntingtons „Kampf der Kulturen“ an. Ich persönlich habe dieses Buch nicht gelesen, meine aber, es geht nicht um Kulturen, sondern um Macht in zweifacher Hinsicht: Wer bestimmt? Wer befiehlt, und wie? Und wer hat recht oder sogar nur (also absolut) recht? Schon im grausamsten und längsten der Religionskriege, dem Dreissigjährigen, ging es zwar auch um Religion, aber doch viel mehr um Macht. Ausgebrochen ist dieser ja nicht wegen eines religiösen Streits (der Augsburger Religionsfrieden war ja schon ein halbes Jahrhundert früher geschlossen worden), sondern weil sich die Stände im Königreich Böhmen eine – rückblickend für uns bewundernswert moderne – „Verfassung“ gaben, die den König sozusagen entmachtete, und ihn in einer Art konstitutioneller Ständerepublik in seiner Politik, seiner Verwaltung und seinen Finanzen der Kontrolle der Stände unterworfen hätte. Die durch die Reformation angestossenen neuen Ideen einer Demokratisierung, wie sie zum Beispiel im 1603 (!!) erstmals erschienen Buch des Johannes Althusius verlangt wurde, standen gegen die traditionelle, immer zentralistischer und absolutistischer expectant power of the king, who in this case was also the emperor. Even the bloody civil war in Northern Ireland that is still not finished, has a lot to do with politics, power and social issues and really very little to with religion. Such power struggles have

- I think - two front lines: an inner and an outer. In the interior it is about values. Conservative and fundamentalist circles fear - as most of our national conservatives and fundamentalists - a value decay: The manners go to the bad, and the religion is lost, the people know no honor and no shame, and policies is secularized, individualism leads to the community and the Family destructive selfishness and hedonism, children are a burden and therefore (almost) no longer born, parents, old and respected authorities are not and so on and so forth.

this struggle against "inside" the Islamists seem more and more to gain if they do not have it already won. In this, their victory will not stand us, but their own people because of this policy, to the religious conservatism and fundamentalism smashed professional finish every form of freedom, because he - not only among Muslims - claimed to possess the absolute truth. With them is based this claim on the word of God, we know in part, but many conservatives Just what is good for the people, a country and the whole world. I link here with our Muslim "culture" because we fight this to the "internal" front maybe not strange.

Even here, many conservatives and fundamentalists back these values \u200b\u200bdecay to the loss of religion, but simply some of the developments in recent years, in the sense of "used to be the other, used to be the better". You can open any "external" front. The Muslims can do that, because those who destroyed their values: The influence of the West and of Western thought. This external enemy who is to blame, invites hatred of the for this debt. He must be destroyed. This
external enemy has also a huge economic and political power, the main enemy, even the world power. The success of Islamism and the power he gains more and more about the peoples of the Middle East based, but also a deep sense of hurt and our power, so that in the West, to be humiliated again and again. Only this feeling may explain why the Islamists were able to bring such materials with such a hatred of the streets. We humiliate these people probably just been through our wealth, then again and again by our show of force, and our support of the Israeli and the neglect of the concerns of the needs, but also the powerlessness of the Palestinians, but certainly also because of our support of political rulers, who develop their people do not and can not participate in the progress, a progress, as experience it as the time the Chinese and as us are very supportive. Probably they also hurt, because we want to "press on" in their eyes all over the world, our values \u200b\u200bas human rights and such. I do not know what they all still injured.

Ammunition Blueprints

falsch, Herr Olmert ...!

you want to start discussions with moderate Palestinians. I believe that you have missed this time. Even at the time of the first Intifada, there were people like Mrs. Ashrawi (?) (See also reminds me of her name not at the moment!) And do not forget: Even your occupation policies contributed to these moderates, still bring in Palestine rooted forces to silence and the extremists to power .

I have to keep emphasizing that I am personally for the non-violent resistance and reject terror as a weapon. I think it is a hypocrisy, assuming all terrorists now, they led an unfair fight, a fight that must not, however, lead the armies fighting fair, so fights can be. In the terrorist attacks we speak of innocent victims (quite rightly!), But in Army operations are called the same thing in a cynical way: inevitable collateral damage (the word of the century!). If a group without large financial resources that will reach a goal, a well-equipped army and police is facing, it remains (except the non-violent resistance) than any other weapon of terror. Just the Israelis with their experiences with the Haganah, the Irgun and other terrorist groups Zwa Leumi should have known in my mind that a war against terrorists never win. Even Napoleon never succeeded in eliminating the English guerrillas. Mao said the guerrillas would have to move like fish in water (or something similar). We can also reverse the sentence: The water allows the guerrillas. You can only "act" if they are supported by a majority of the population or at least of a sufficiently large group of people who give them any time "shelter" and logistical and financial support. The RAF in Germany and the "Brigade Rossi in Italy were" live "as long as they enjoyed the support of a large part of the European left. They died and withered, as this support dried up more and more.

As the election show in Palestine, Hamas enjoys the support not only a large group, but the majority of the Palestinians. It is this invincible for the Israeli army ... of which I am convinced. It is a power in Palestine and enjoy much sympathy in the Arab world and is also supported heavily by this Arab world. This power, it is possible to integrate quickly into a peace process.

I write this not out of sympathy for Hamas, but for fear of Israel!

How Much Does A Truffle Cost At Godiva

Wir brauchen keinen Führer ... oder?

busy since my youth, the phenomenon of the leader (Leaders). Ethology gave me an answer: As the civilization developed rapidly put, we in our society together even in the hunter-gatherer period, ie, we are deep within us still committed to the tribal culture (not only the peoples of the Middle East or China!). Us corresponds to the struggle for a place in the group in which we live, and taking over the leadership by the strong and the subject is characterized by the weak. To us was, however, a second characteristic of the period bond: We identify and very strong with our tribe, our group, just with the people we are among us, and we are very suspicious of strangers, as we say in children: We "foreign". This second property can (or must?), We now transfer to other "units", if or because we do not Stammeskulturen mehr sind: Wir identifizieren uns über gemeinsame Ideen, also über Ideologien, wobei wir auch Religionen ideologisieren können.

Wie ich meine, entwickelte sich aber mit der Aufklärung und der Globalisierung schon im neunzehnten Jahrhundert eine dritte Möglichkeit: Der Pluralismus, also das sich identifizieren mit Ideen, die nicht Ideologien werden möchten, sondern das Nebeneinander von verschiedenen Ideen und Religionen zu tolerieren oder noch besser zu akzeptieren versuchen, weil diese Menschen erkannten, dass wir Menschen keine absolute Wahrheit wissen, sondern diese immer nur glauben können. Diese Menschen öffneten sich damals vorerst für die grossen philosophischen Religionen des Fernen Ostens, liessen sich aber auch faszinieren vom Islam und bestritten vehement den Alleinseligmachungsanspruch der katholischen Kirche. Aus dieser Geisteshaltung entwickelte sich der Individualismus. Die beiden (Individualismus und Pluralismus) sind also Geschwister. Da es keine sichere absolute Wahrheit gibt, entscheidet sich jedes Individuum für seinen Weg: Es wählt seinen Glauben; es wählt seine Ideen; dadurch toleriert oder akzeptiert es auch die Wahl des anderen Individuums und anerkennt das Verschiedensein von religiösen Wegen, aber auch das Verschiedensein von Kulturen (Pluralismus).

Selbstverständlich lebten zu jederzeit die anderen Neigungen in uns fort, nämlich der Wunsch, sich mit einer Gruppe stark zu identifizieren, So "My" to own, and the desire to be either leaders or to submit. Instead of tribal chiefs, we then have opinion leaders, business leaders, political leaders, leaders in the entertainment industry (simply stars that we admire in sport, film and music, or those who are involved also like Bono, Anjelika Jolie, Sharon Stone and so on) We always have more queens and kings. We have the Boulvardpresse that maintains this leadership and the leaders often have a voice. It is actually a "press officer". Instead we have tribes nations with which we identify ourselves and to which we many tribal rituals transferred: the flags, the flags impressive transfers and so on. We also identify with the companies in which we work. Above all, we like to identify ourselves with politically like-minded people, ie, with ideologies.

with all living beings, we are afraid together, because dangers lurk everywhere: in nature, but also other living things or people we also, by other people. We feel these threats against us are often helpless and close then closer together. Both we get better if we unite in an ideology to protect us, to save or even promises to deliver or if we unite as a nation or our strong Hand of a "leader" feel safe.

out in the uncertain times to this regression, this retreat to "old" patterns of behavior. In Switzerland we do this in a polarization between right and left. The former feel united by their "leaders", the second in their ideology. The guide demonstrates to us almost every day, or tolerate, at least in public relations effective distances (not more than half a year) its real claim to absolute power, because leaders like he did not guide his side (next to the king's son, all the other dwarfs, which make it openly contemptuous may, for the "people" they do not defend, so it considers them as dwarves, and half the Federal Council or Federal Council called for and so on). The leader requires followers. Another tactical strength of "our" leader is that he does - most recently in privatizing state enterprises - very cleverly understands seize the opinion leadership itself. (On the last Sunday, it was clear who owns them, for example, during the vote on the privatization of the Swisscom already. The others can only react even more!) The left is united by their ideology. She has also staked out the fields in which it has thanks to this ideology of opinion leadership: She thinks an die Armen; sie ist eigentlich „die Soziale“ schlechthin; sie bekämpft den Neoliberalismus der Globalisierung, die unsere Reichen reicher und die Armen ärmer macht; sie will die demokratische Kontrolle über die Staatsbetriebe beibehalten; sie kämpft für Gerechtigkeit und das alte liberale Ideal der Gleichheit und so weiter und so fort). Beide Gruppierungen beanspruchen gleichzeitig die Vertreter der dritten Entwicklung zu sein, des Individualismus (ich meine damit immer den gesunden, nicht den krankhaften Egoismus!) und des Pluralismus. Die Rechte betont dabei den Individualismus: Die Eigenverantwortung und das Entscheiden jedes Bürgers und einige Mühe mit dem Pluralismus. Die Linke wiederum betont den Pluralismus and some trouble with individualism (which looks only to himself and neglects his duties towards the community) has.

And now is someone like me right in the middle. Everyone who worked with me (or had to work together), knows the trouble I have with authorities. I hate people who presume a right as a guide. Even more effort it makes me look, as follows roughly a fifth to a third of our population such a leader like sheep. (Donkey I can not say, because they are known to be stubborn!) Is even more difficult for me because I understand it also, because globalization and the buoyancy, the resulting About the National receives or the modern mass migration and spreading fear. In the left reminds me how to pray again and again their lyre (just their ideology), which from the lips of many of them very often sounds fake. And yet I understand the people who follow them, because they guarantee the fight against wage cuts, to degradation of the securities offered by the welfare state and, more recently, security for the public service. They are the white knight against the black robber barons of capitalism and neo-liberalism and globalization.

Understand, dear reader, dear reader, that this is a real pain when one is always right in the middle? It understands the people, because they tried so not to change ideology, but to take what they are. But they fear the way they go. One wonders: Are we a new leader to company with men like Chavez, the political leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, Putin, Sarkozy and hot like them all? Or we freeze in a world of welfare states European lines, which are suffocating in their bureaucracies. (? They were called in the last century, not fascists) The most dangerous thing I seem to be the "leader" which connect the national ideology with social With Chavez we have such in South America tended Peronism in Argentina always in this direction, the Chinese Communist Party can develop not unlike nationalist and socialist, if it wants to remain in power for the French nationalism, gave his flowers in the state prevented takeovers by foreign (europäische!) companies and Sarkozy calls for more power of the leader (the President ) and so on.
The fear of a man in the middle so that the third development, the healthy individualism ('s not about the now rampant hedonism!) And pluralism, ie the Enlightenment - as was once Europe and the U.S. accepted and lived but also have been developing - on the line or a phase in the history of mankind remains. The hope of a man in the middle is that they still continue to work and once again take the broad popular masses. The anger of a man in the middle is also directed against the leaders and also against the ideologues, but even more against the like-minded who write clever essays, can be taken in by the business leaders and not be standing at the front to just educate and such that it can understand everyone. We in the middle of the handicap that we do not have a simplistic ideology, and we do indeed heads, which may cause, but yes no autocrat. Maybe we should make a few concessions to the tribe of people in us, for example, ? A liberal international start with a flag and anthem (is the uniform without a guide and ideology in liberalism, there are - just the pluralism accordingly - different directions, but there are some important, especially now important in the ongoing globalization principles The mass and the gain of mass contrary to the Liberals, so it is repugnant. But shall we leave the field to the ideologues, nationalists and leaders to build? Maybe we need but also leaders, but they are likely true to the distrust of the power of single, never leaders for life to be as Christoph Blocher in his party, but only leader on time. What to feel The dilemma, dear reader, dear reader?) (Sorry, I lack the time this text to be corrected by. I hope he is still readable.)

Why Use Cedar For A Pergola

Mani Matters Zündholz brennt!

driving you the pictures of mass demonstrations in the Middle East so below the skin? This hatred, the opposite is proposing here! As was in the little Denmark "aazündt match" and already burning with the carpet of the Orient in consuming flames!

This hatred of the West, the new self-awareness, which builds many Muslims by the Islamic movements, but also the consciousness of power over one of the most important resources: petroleum and natural gas has to have, I think the strength the nations in the Middle East to weld together a nation. As history teaches us together, not just as the hatred felt on an external enemy, of whom it threatened and humiliated. Since the first world war, the Muslim Brotherhood succeeded in organizing resistance to again and again. Even if they - like the time in Egypt - give moderate, they were the sowers of the seed, which can be in various Islamist movements that organize themselves as good rises.

As I always emphasize, I find it not only bad when even the Arab world gets together. We need to think in this world just what way do we want: the way neuer Grossmächte, die handeln wie früher die Nationalstaaten, und sich eben wegen dieses überall in der Welt aufgestauten Hasses einmal in Kriegen um die Ressourcen oder wegen anderer Machtspiele bekriegen werden, oder ob wir nicht endlich an eine Weltordnung denken müssten, in der dieser Hass durch Recht geordnet und geregelt wird? Müssten wir nicht endlich daran denken übernationale (Welt-) Parteien zu gründen, die sich den Nationalisten und allen anderen –isten entgegenstellen? ... Dazu ist es noch zu früh, werden Sie wahrscheinlich entgegnen. Ich aber meine: Die neuen Mächte wachsen; sie formieren sich: In China, in Russland, in Indien, auch die neuen Entwicklungen in Südamerika dürfen wir nicht unterschätzen, und auch jene in Afrika nicht, und vor allem nicht diese bereits „Brennenden“ im Nahen Osten! Europa verschrieb sich dem Frieden. Wenn es aber weiter zuwartet und sich nicht für eine neue Weltordnung einsetzt, wird es früher oder später gezwungen sein auch eine „übernationale“, regionale Macht zu bilden, um sich zu schützen und sich seine Ressourcen zu sichern, oder es wird zu einem Anhängsel der USA. Lassen wir es soweit kommen, haben wir - einfach im Weltrahmen – Verhältnisse wie im neunzehnten und zwanzigsten Jahrhundert unter den europäischen Grossmächten.
Marschierende Massen, sich Ressourcen sichernde Politiken, auf jede Grenzüberschreitung mit Krieg drohenden und nach Grossmacht strebenden Zustände und die daraus resultierenden Weltkriege, hatten wir schon. Nach meiner Ansicht sollten sich alle friedliebenden und liberalen, aber auch die nicht fundamentalistischen, religiösen Kräfte auf der ganzen Welt übernational zusammen schliessen, um die Welt auf eine auf dem gleichberechtigten Zusammenleben von Nationen und Kontinenten und auf Recht gestützte Weltordnung hinzuführen!

Astigmatic Keratectomy

Sorge um die Demokratie

Die Leitartikler der NZZ vom Samstag und vom Sonntag (H. K. und Felix E. Müller) drücken nach der Wahl der Hamas und überhaupt der Entwicklungen im Nahen Osten die Sorge aus, ob denn die Demokratie diesen Völkern wirklich etwas bringe oder nicht alles noch schlimmer am. The question is shining through in both articles, are these people ready for democracy? If Felix E. Müller calls for democracy are the structures of civil society, secular parties, freedom of speech and an independent judiciary, I have to give up on the secular right parties. There must be parties and they must stand for democracy, but they may not be religious values \u200b\u200bor religious parties committed? Of course they are influenced by their legislation the right, as the major Shiite parties in Iraq are already doing. Why should such laws do not follow the Sharia? For a Democrat is vital that the courts are independent. Seems important to me to observe that parties like Hamas remain democratic, therefore stand for re-election and do not create Islamic republic like Iran's, which is dominated by its constitution from the mullahs and the Guardian Council. Because the FIS do not rule in Algeria despite election victory could, we still do not know what they had done in Algeria, less democratic than today's fast any more. Face a similar dilemma, the Egyptians are with the Muslim Brotherhood. We can only assess whether they raise a democratic regime, once they are in power. But even here we must confess: The regime, which they will succeed is far from as democratic. Making matters complicated is the occupation of Palestine by the Israelis. I mean, before we put the Hamas conditions, we would have to also provide to the Israelis and that just as vigorously. Our politicians always demanded the settlement freeze, but they asked him ever so vigorously as they now call on Hamas to renounce the war against Israel. Measure because we do not have two standards? Did not the Israelis, with their settlements and the "new borders" by the security wall created a situation that - in my view - a two-state solution is no longer permitted, but an Israeli - Palestinian Federation calls? The Palestinians have a new leadership, the Israelis will soon have a new leadership, it would not make more sense to urge both parties to negotiate seriously (without pre-conditions). Why do we certify the one hand, as a quasi-legitimate status as a war party and the other only the status of terrorists?
What I often do not understand is our effort (or even arrogance yet?) To understand the cultural war that takes place within Muslim societies. We also knew this culture war from the first half century ago, in which Catholics rebelled against liberalism, and this is against the Catholic Church. In addition, we are still working hard on it (Gleichstellung!) the radicals clear away the centuries, patriarchal society built. We accept that ruling in the U.S. President, the Christian community is close to that now want to banish even the teaching of evolution from the natural history lessons. We admire the great democracy India (zurecht!) that could solve their cultural heritage (the caste system and the intolerant Hinduism) nor in any way in terms of human rights. When supported by a majority of Shiites in Iraq - making in Western eyes, a step backwards in terms of, for example, the rights of women, we have to accept it (the dictatorship of the majority!), But underestimate us (in arrogant manner?) The fight the Women are not in Islam. They fight! Even in such a conservative country like Saudi Arabia.

Cream Of Tartar Andjuice

Unter neuem Titel

I need to publish today a few blogs that I wrote prior days. It did not work somehow with my entry ('m even older!)

Today I would have gladly skipped over the (to me) was frightening demonstrations of Muslims against the cartoons in a Danish newspaper, but only a little time. It's not that I do not understand these people applied, but these demonstrations show me two things: first, how little our idea of \u200b\u200bpress freedom (I am thinking of the many caricatures of Christ, even Christ on the cross) understood outside of our culture is, and how hurt (and can be set) and put feeling humiliated masses with a force in motion ... just scary. (I Elias Canetti had to think that the riots in Vienna, impressed in his youth so that they affected not only his first novel, not just dominated and made him many years research on the masses.) How do you under my heading godi + marti www.joeehde.ch see on my homepage can tell me the Middle East was much concerned.

Offener Brief an die Herren bin Ladin und Zawahiri

Gentlemen bin Laden and Zawahiri,

both threatened the U.S. back with attacks on their territory.

other day long with their sirens wailing over an hour, a police car after another pass by my apartment. The bus service was paralyzed. Bottom of the tram a man's voice asked for understanding for this failure, he was a major action of the police caused. In such moments oppresses an uncanny feeling. What had happened up there? At first I thought of a bank robbery, I was considering a major fire, but I was uneasy at the thought, it could have been a terrorist attack? On the short walk from my apartment to tram it reassured me that under these border siren and blue flashing cars no fire department and ambulance were, for such would have been a terrorist attack indeed needed.

This fear of a terrorist attack is your work, gentlemen bin Laden and Zawahiri!

Are you proud?

Sure they are, because your goal is achieved: they are seen! They are afraid!

They say there are for people without power structure in the back no other way to be heard and be taken seriously as terrorism. We can not deploy with aircraft, tanks and missiles. Remains for us to realize our ideas only this way.

is now this way, but a path of hatred, because you kill hundreds, even thousands of innocent people. That sounds likely in your ears cheesy and corny: Innocent people! They will say: There are no innocent people. All they contribute and support its regime, with its power to humiliate the Arab and Muslim nations and the whole - not least because of the oil or other geo-strategic advantages - to dominate and make them dependent on his own try. Everyone who works in a Western company, supports the exploitation! Everyone who signs up for the Iraqi police or army as a recruit, supports the new regime. Anyone who sends his son or his daughter in an army like that of the USA, is one of our enemies. Anyone who by his silence on the injustices of this world - Especially the injustice being done to our brothers in Palestine, for example - accepted silently, is one of our enemies. Anyone who is a regime that the dictates of the United States submits, is one of our enemies. Where do you see that they live on the west and bravely participate in the military or financial power of their state, an innocent man?

It's not that I do not understand you. I would even call it a brother in spirit, although I am a Christian. As for me wegbrachte by the violence (or never had access to it) were two things: look into the history and look at me. I am convinced that only a man on such a hatred other people can come when he himself was injured much or more had to watch how people, powerless people, the violence of rulers were delivered and were that deeply wounded in her soul. This hatred is initially a very personal: your hate and my hate! Now, however, humiliated in this world, not only individuals but also nations and over again, powerless people. A look at me, show me that my injured soul identifies itself with this humiliated and downtrodden. The rage and anger, take me wished, against the oppressors, to stand up these people despise and fight against them. I for one would a just cause to fight. My hatred bekommt this not only an idea, but a sanctification, for the noble idea to release these people justify the means, to which I have to resort to mean, because we are all so powerless. We have only the terror! My heart has harden.

Let us now but have a look into history, we see that where there is hatred erupted into violence, everything again and again into violence, a violence rule ended, the French Revolution gave birth to Napoleon, the slave revolt in Haiti, Dessalines, and after him dictator for dictator, and all ruined their country, after the Russian revolution Lenin took over the scepter and founded almost a century permanent tyranny; in China performed the Mao, but in most liberated colonies ruled as dictators, the leaders of liberation movements in Zimbabwe are the most appalling Mugabe today, also fear among the Tamils \u200b\u200bmust be said that its leader will not be willing to his power make a civilian government and so on and so forth.

Where the resistance, however, was violently - the hatred was kept in check - as with Gandhi in India, could set up a regime without violence. Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid, not violent, but once in power, he renounced violence and revenge and created a state without oppression and violence, in my eyes only suffers a failure: it is dominated by only one party, the ANC. When speaking of the non-violent, you get to Martin Luther King by not: Did he finally for the black people of America not achieved in his long, long struggle, as the Black Panthers, founded on hatred and all the movements?

created both a name that probably knows every adult and child in this world. I also believe that many people - even in Europe and the United States - understand and even support would if you brought your struggle violently. And they could. The masses took to the streets for you, they would strike for you, they would civil disobedience do and what all of that in non-violent struggle. Many Muslims to worship openly, many more in secret, even more would be if they do not follow a blood trail would have, but a noble - very violent - struggle. Finally, you would achieve more and accomplish more!
laugh now have. I tell you what you should do. Who am I? ... Nobody reads my blog! So I am a lone voice in the desert! A lonely screaming into the wind on the stormy sea. ... Even if no one hears me - certainly not both -: I have to call! I have to scream!

Gesundheitspolitik und Diskurs

As the statistics show, no one came to see me on my blog. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to justify why I always return to the discourse and the discourse types have been flogging in my posts: Although I am with the concluding observations of Jean Francois Lyotard on Marxism and capitalism in his book "The conflict" does not agree , his work helped me to better take care how to build a discourse and Diskursart which it follows. Lyotard says, the economic discourse company into other discourses, have won over so that a hegemony, and he understands the economic Capitalist. My observations showed that the economic discourse is really dominant and seems to dominate our thinking, but what frightened me more, is the confusion, the chaos that we serve with the kinds of discourse, as we use unthinkingly them and in so doing can not, they are often incommensurable, that is not consistent and can be placed in any manner to coincide .

is how the word "social" or "the social" is not defined. The Social Democrats they think are "the social" and others "the cold". To transfer the "social" state responsibility. Pope Benedict will turn out at the "social" by the charity and understands a personal attitude of a man another opposite. He even warns against a bureaucratic welfare state that "the social" managed (and in this sense, the individual alienated / is this interpretation of mine.) If we take now an idea of \u200b\u200bthe "social" and expanding upon a discourse, it is the other idea and built on this discourse incommensurable: one can not bring the two kinds of discourse to the agreement.

Consider the Swiss health care bill that was adopted by popular referendum in 1996, shows that it was doomed from the start to fail, because there are many such incommensurabilities contains in itself, that discourses in conflict geraten und nicht gelöst werden können, weil sie einer ganz anderen Diskursart zu zuzählen sind. Deutschland befindet sich mit seiner Gesundheitspolitik in demselben Schlamassel.

Wenn ich das jetzt so schreibe, klingt das sehr hochtrabend und für viele vielleicht wie Bahnhof. Sobald man sich aber auf diese Art zu denken einlässt, wird es ganz praktisch und – nach meiner Ansicht – sogar spannend, würde aber die Kurzform eines Blogs übersteigen (die meinen sind ja eh schon alle ziemlich lang!) Wenn mich keine plötzliche Einladung davon abhalten wird, werde ich über dieses Wochenende in meiner Rubrik godi+marti, die Sie unter www.joeehde.ch finden, darzustellen versuchen.
