<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eigentlich bin ich vor eineinhalb Jahren aus purer Neugierde in Second Life eingestiegen. Schade, dass ich meinen Avatar von damals nicht fotografiert habe :-(. Das wäre bestimmt jetzt einmal zu sehen, wie man damals aussah, als man stundenlang irgendwo für 5 Lindendollar getantzt hatte. Auf jedem Fall habe ich mich auch in Second Life verändert, nicht nur äußerlich, ich "arbeitete" jetzt für richtiges Geld für und in der virtuellen Welt. Zwar nur ein wenig, aber es macht Spaß.</p>
<p>Man lernt innerhalb eines Jahres soviele Leute kennen, knüpft Kontakte und in Second Life "duzt" man sich, das ist ja ganz normal. Nur was macht man nun, wenn man im realen Leben mit den Leuten geschäfltich zutun hat? Duzt man sie? Siezt man sie? Duzt man sie im Second Life weiterhin und in den realen Emails geht man zum Sie über? Ich habe keinen blassen Schimmer! Das ist echt eine komische Situation. Wie macht ihr denn das alle???</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Det första budet lyder: <em>Jag är Herren, din Gud. Du skall inga andra gudar ha vid sidan av mig.</em></p>
<p>Om vi reducerar Gud till en åsikt bryter vi mot detta budet. Gud är inte en åsikt som vi hyser, utan ett evigt Jag i förhållande till vilket vi framträder som ett ständigt Du. Att tro innebär inte att tycka Gud, utan att vara trogen sin ständiga duhet i förhållandet till Gud och Guds avbild i vår nästa.</p>

One poor jerk holds Congresswoman Wilson responsib]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Okay, Heather Wilson is bad, but not <em>that </em>bad.</strong></p>
<p>One<strong> <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=389&#38;topic_id=3670003&#38;mesg_id=3670174" target="_blank">poor jerk </a></strong>holds Congresswoman Wilson responsible for her husband's alleged sexual assault of a teenage boy:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Anyone married to that beast would be capable of very evil sex deeds.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Sheesh. Is that sexism gratuitous enough for ya? It's clear the guy doesn't even mean it, yet simply has to say it anyway. Can't stop himself. Ugly. Unnecessary. And yet it's allowed to stand without being removed.</p>
<p><strong>2. News stories on two of the North Carolina</strong><strong> women murdered: <a href="http://www.ncwanted.com/ncwanted_home/story/3234380/" target="_blank">Holly Wimunc</a> </strong>and <strong><a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=663895" target="_blank">Nancy Cooper.</a></strong></p>
<p>I've been thinking some more about the threat to our military women posed by our military MEN. More to come on that.</p>
<p>3.<strong> How to be a feminist activist without having to work too hard or risk jail at</strong><a href="http://feministgal.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-it-possible-to-be-passive-feminist.html" target="_blank"> </a><strong><a href="http://feministgal.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-it-possible-to-be-passive-feminist.html" target="_blank">feministgal</a>. </strong>Good piece. One of my first "lessons" about political activism was that merely voting is a form of activism.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Feministing does a very good job of revealing the bankrupt logic of <a href="http://www.feministing.com/archives/009854.html" target="_blank">PETA's use of women's naked bodies</a> to capture public attention.</strong><strong> </strong>(Is THAT gratuitous enough for ya?)</p>
<p><strong>5. Everyone agrees:</strong> <strong><a href="http://www.feministing.com/archives/009843.html" target="_blank">Purity Balls</a> are creepy to the max.</strong></p>
<p>Well, perhaps not the male half of those participating. But who knows?</p>
<p>There's a very good reason for the overwhelming negative reaction by the rest of us. I think most psychologists would refer to the practice as incestuous on some level. Emotionally incestuous, perhaps. There's something quite unnatural, I think, (not to mention highly inappropriate) about a father being overly interested in his daughter's sex life.</p>
<p>Sure, he has a right to be concerned about her -- but not quite to this extent and not in this way. Not to the extent he spends much time thinking or imaging or talking about it or having grown-up style formal dances around the subject. Not to the extent he makes her promise her sexual fidelity to HIM. No, no, no, <em>not right at all!</em></p>
<p>To be honest, I think this practice is almost worse than being chattel. At least chattel has no <em>overt </em>sexual context.</p>
<p>We'll talk more about sex and young women in the days to come too. I've got a lot to say on the subject.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Aujourd'hui le mot du jour est: le maillot jaune</em></p>
<p>Today, the word of the day is: "the yellow suit" or "the yellow shirt"</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-65" src="http://joshlin.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/indentspace.gif" alt="" width="30" height="5" />This French phrase is used extensively during the <em>Tour de France</em>. Why? Because it's the French name for the signature yellow shirt worn by the cyclist in the lead.</p>
<p><em>Exemple: Tu gagneras jamais le maillot jaune-- tu montes encore à tricycle! </em><a href="http://joshua1.bravehost.com/FrenchPress/lemaillotjaune.mp3"></a></p>
<p><a title="French and Frenglish examples" href="http://joshua1.bravehost.com/French_Press/Le%20maillot%20jaune.mp3" target="_blank">Hear it Spoken!</a></p>
<p>Example: You will never win the yellow shirt-- you're still riding a tricycle!</p>
<p>Note: Following colloquial patterns, I've omitted the "ne" of the negation pattern. Don't bitch, just live with it.</p>

<p>Ab und zu fällt ein Wort, fällt ein Stein auf mein Herz<br />
Ich werf ihn weg und alle Wege führn abwärts<br />
Ich lächel und stell mir vor, du könntest mich sehn<br />
Meine Freunde fragen wie's geht, ich sag' es wird gehn</p>
<p>Denn selten, aber manchmal denk ich noch an dich<br />
selten, aber manchmal zauber' ich dann ein Lächeln auf mein Gesicht<br />
selten, aber manchmal lache ich wenn ich im Regen steh<br />
selten, aber meistens tut das weh</p>
<p>Blick zurück... mal mir bunte Bilder, bunte Bilder<br />
den Schmerz... zwing mich vorwärts<br />
nahm jeden Weg weg von dir, der sich mir bot,<br />
denn Stillstand ist Tod</p>
<p>Wieder durch den Tag, durch den Takt geeilt<br />
mach irgendwie weiter, obwohl mich eigentlich alles langweilt<br />
singe und stell mir vor, du könntest mich hörn<br />
nichts auf der Welt kann mich dabei störn</p>
<p>Denn selten, aber manchmal hab ich noch deine Lieder im Ohr<br />
wenn ich selten sage, mach ich mir manchmal wohl was vor<br />
in Wirklichkeit bist du für mich genau da wo du immer warst<br />
unerreichbar offenbar</p>
<p>Erinnerung an Momente mit dir kostbar und rar wie Diamanten aus Eis<br />
halt sie nicht zu fest in meiner Hand, denn ich weiß<br />
sie zerschmelzen zu Tränen, wenn die Kälte mir fehlt<br />
ich hätte nie gedacht unsere Tage sein gezählt<br />
wie hätt' ich dich halten können<br />
was hätt' ich dir sagen solln<br />
wenn ich dich jetzt treffen würde<br />
was würd ich dich fragen wolln</p>

<description><![CDATA[Un commentaire de Stéphane Dumas, un lecteur - et commentateur - régulier du blogue de Richard3, t]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Un commentaire de Stéphane Dumas, un lecteur - et commentateur - régulier du blogue de Richard3, traitait de l'échangeur A-51/A-55, juste au sud de Richmond.  De mon côté, j'ai toujours cru que la meilleure ligne pour l'A-55, si elle avait été construite en entier, aurait été de rejoindre l'A-51 à la hauteur de Windsor, un peu plus au sud.  Les derniers arguments de Stéphane, à savoir des viaducs existants, et la courbe inhabituelle du chemin Keenan, qui longe l'autoroute, dans le canton de Melbourne, ont éveillé ma curiosité.  Je me suis donc rendu, sur un coup de tête, au lieu dit, pour fins de constatations.  C'est donc sous la pluie que j'ai dû me rendre à l'évidence; je devrai jeter ma théorie de Windsor aux poubelles!</p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/mapa51.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-779" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/mapa51.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="521" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Voici d'abord une vue du logiciel Google Earth, qui montre la courbe inhabituelle du chemin Keenan, ainsi qu'une partie dégagée, au nord-est de l'A-55.  Je n'ai pas pu prendre de photo, compte tenu de la distance requise pour avoir une vue d'ensemble, ainsi que de l'heure tardive, mais un court corridor est effectivement dégagé (lire dynamité), et les arbres qui s'y trouvent sont moins nombreux, et beaucoup plus jeunes que ceux situés de chaque côté du corridor.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/003l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-777" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/003l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">C'est difficile à voir, de cet angle, mais la ligne blanche, qui délimite l'accotement de l'A-55, en direction sud, tourne légèrement vers la gauche, alors que le parapet du pont, et le garde-fou métallique, continuent en ligne droite.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/027l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-778" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/027l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Ici, on voit mieux l'accotement plus large, et l'asphalte, étendu de façon à donner naissance à une bretelle vers la droite, puis qui reprend la largeur d'un accotement normal.  C'est probablement à cet endroit qu'aurait été installé le panneau indiquant la fin de l'A-51.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/031l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-780" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/031l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Sur cette vue, prise en direction nord, on peut remarquer que le pont de la nouvelle chaussée est beaucoup plus court que celui de la première chaussée.  Je sais, il pleuvait, et on voit mal.  Attendez un peu.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/031l1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-781" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/031l1.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Il s'agit de la même photo, mais sur celle-ci, j'ai fait des marques qui montrent la longueur des deux viaducs.  C'est beaucoup plus évident, n'est-ce pas?  Maintenant, allons voir cela d'en-dessous.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/005l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-782" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/005l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Voici, vu d'en-bas, le nouveau viaduc, qui a les dimensions d'une passe à chevreuils,...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/009l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-783" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/009l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...alors que le viaduc original est suffisamment large pour laisser passer beaucoup, beaucoup de chevreuils.  En fait, il a toute la largeur nécessaire pour faire un superbe échangeur.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/012l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-784" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/012l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">J'ai remonté le sentier, à l'ouest de l'autoroute, pour tenter de prendre une pose des deux ponts.  C'est partiellement réussi; on voit l'empierrement du nouveau viaduc, par dessous l'ancien.  Encore chanceux, la photo n'est pas trop brouillée; je me faisais littéralement dévorer par les moustiques, à ce moment-là.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/015l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-785" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/015l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">À voir les nombreuses pistes, sous l'ancien viaduc, c'est certain qu'il y passe des chevreuils, entre autres animaux.  C'est aussi à cet endroit que j'ai vécu le second épisode de la série "J'avais de belles chaussures".  Je vous garantis que je vais m'acheter des "bottes à vaches" dans un proche avenir.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/019l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-786" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/019l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Je suis sous l'ancien viaduc (en fait, je devrais plutôt dire le viaduc de la première chaussée, puisque les deux sont toujours fonctionnels), et j'ai pris cette photo, puis les deux suivantes, pour illustrer, "d'un angle différent", comme le disait si bien Gilles Tremblay, lors des belles années de la Soirée du hockey, à Radio-Canada, la différence de longueur des deux viaducs.  Je suis près du pilier sud de ce viaduc,...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/021l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-787" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/021l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...je me tourne d'une trentaine de degrés vers la droite, pour prendre le terrassement de la nouvelle chaussée, sur laquelle passe des véhicules,...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/024l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-788" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/024l.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...puis à nouveau d'une trentaine de degrés, pour enfin prendre l'extrémité nord du viaduc de la nouvelle chaussée.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/mapa51-11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-791" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/mapa51-11.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="521" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">C'est la même vue qu'au début du billet, toujours signée Google Earth, mais cette fois, j'y ai ajouté la disposition des lieux si l'A-55 avait été construite selon les plans originaux.  En bleu, c'est le chemin Keenan actuel, avec sa courbe.  En rouge, c'est l'A-55 actuelle, et en blanc, l'A-55 selon ce qu'elle aurait dû être.  L'A-51 aurait alors été la partie en orange, située au nord-ouest de l'échangeur.  Malheureusement, même si les municipalités, situées le long du tracé original de l'A-55, en demandaient vigoureusement la construction, ça ne passerait pas comme une lettre à la poste,...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/032l.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-792" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/032l.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="615" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...parce que la Société de conservation du corridor naturel de la rivière au Saumon (SCCNRS) a décrété que tout le territoire situé entre le chemin Keenan et la rivière Saint-François, y compris l'espace sous les viaducs, était désormais une aire naturelle, protégée et gérée pour la conservation.  Même le sentier cyclable y est fermé!  Vous imaginez la guerre</span></em><em><span style="color:#993366;">, qui se tiendrait en ces lieux</span></em><em><span style="color:#993366;">, si l'on tentait de ressusciter le projet de l'A-55?</span></em></p>
<p>La question que je me pose, c'est qu'une fois que les chevreuils sont passés sous l'A-55, ils vont où?  Ils sont encerclés par le chemin Keenan.  Je présume qu'ils doivent le traverser, et que c'est beaucoup moins grave que s'ils traversaient l'autoroute, parce que ce chemin est somme toute peu utilisé.  Il n'en demeure pas moins que ma curiosité est allumée, maintenant.  Je devrai faire des recherches, auprès des municipalités de la région, afin de savoir si d'autres travaux ont été faits, en vue de construire l'A-55, entre Melbourne et Saint-Albert-de-Warwick.  Je pense particulièrement au boulevard du Conseil, à Asbestos, dont l'extrémité sud pointe presque directement les viaducs que vous venez de voir.</p>
<p>Je sens que je vais déterrer quelques squelettes, avec cette affaire...</p>

Because the event these letters signal is annual, this means I have been at this job for one year. I can't believe it! It feels like five minutes! Funny part is, in one year I went from part-time contracting grant writer to Interim Director of Development. Ditto on the farm job: went from weekend pen cleaner to Executive Director - one year anniversary of that coming up around the same time. This either means I am a genius, or a dupe (dope?).

<description><![CDATA[Avez-vous lu le Journal de Montréal d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui?  En page 22, un article de la Press]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Avez-vous lu le Journal de Montréal d'aujourd'hui?  En page 22, un article de la Presse canadienne explique que <a href="http://www2.canoe.com/infos/quebeccanada/archives/2008/07/20080721-164727.html" target="_blank">l'ADQ condamne la décision de la Régie de l'énergie</a> d'imposer l'ajout de 3 cents le litre aux détaillants de Saint-Jérôme.  Une telle décision va dans le même sens que celles qui permettent l'augmentation du prix du lait, et d'autres produits agricoles.  En bout de ligne, c'est le consommateur qui paie davantage, dans le but de permettre aux producteurs agricoles de s'acheter des Cadillac Escalade, et des Ford Excursion.  Ceux-ci se foutent que les citoyens - dont les mères célibataires - paient le lait beaucoup plus cher qu'ailleurs; ce qui compte, c'est leur so-so-so-solidarité.</p>
<p>Dans le cas des détaillants d'essence de Saint-Jérôme, la Régie de l'énergie affirme, dans sa décision rendue le 11 juillet dernier, qu'il y a "un réel danger d'une diminution importante du nombre de détaillants indépendants à Saint-Jérôme et que cela peut, à long terme, aller à l'encontre des intérêts des consommateurs".  La requête, déposée devant la Régie, l'a été par l'Association québécoise des indépendants de pétrole (AQUIP), et l'un de ses membres, Intergaz.</p>
<p>Le gros de problème, c'est qu'à Saint-Jérôme, la multinationale Costco a ouvert, il y a quelques années, un poste d'essence, et les indépendants se plaignent, à toute fin pratique, de concurrence déloyale.  C'est que Costco a pris les moyens nécessaires pour réduire ses coûts d'exploitation, et que les plaignants - j'allais dire les plaignards - n'osent pas prendre des moyens semblables.  Les pétrolières, qui opèrent des stations d'essence, à Saint-Jérôme, ne se plaignent pourtant pas de la situation.</p>
<p>Mais ce que j'ai trouvé le plus drôle, dans cet article, c'est la toute dernière phrase, du moins dans la version publiée ce matin dans le JdeM.  Ça dit que "M. Pagé (Claude Pagé, de la pétrolière Intergaz) a fait valoir que les prix de l'essence au Québec demeuraient les moins chers en Amérique du Nord et au Canada, et que cela était dû à l'apport des détaillants indépendants."  Vous croyez à cela, vous?  À constater par sa décision, la Régie de l'énergie y a manifestement cru.  Pour ma part, je crois que ce type, Claude Pagé, devrait faire renouveler son passeport, et aller faire un tour dans les états américains limitrophes, en plus d'aller se balader dans les autres provinces canadiennes.  Il se rendrait rapidement compte que, mis à part dans les provinces maritimes, c'est au Québec que l'essence est la plus chère, à la pompe.  Aux USA, les gens doivent composer, depuis quelques temps, avec un prix de l'essence qui dépasse les 4$ du gallon américain, alors que si l'on fait la conversion, nous payons ici, malgré la baisse des derniers jours (l'essence ordinaire se détaille autour de 132,4 cents le litre, à Anjou, au moment où j'écris ce billet), autour de 5$ pour le même gallon.  C'est comme 25% de plus, ça, mon cher Claude!  Et ce sont ces mêmes indépendants du pétrole qui gueulent contre les guerres de prix qu'imposent les pétrolières, parce que ça diminue leur marge de profit.  Il est où, l'apport des détaillants indépendants?  À chaque fois qu'ils font une demande, c'est pour augmenter les prix!</p>
<p>La Régie de l'énergie a définitivement avalé la couleuvre de Claude Pagé, et de l'AQUIP, en acquiesçant à leur demande de hausse de prix de 3 cents le litre, à Saint-Jérôme.  C'est à croire que la Régie dort... aux gaz!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And sadly, the women are just as bad. Here's longtime DUer CatWoman, widely respected and appreciated on DU, starting the ole sexism ball rolling. With a thread title like<br />
<a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&#38;address=389x3653110#3653181" target="_blank"><em><strong>Did you hear about what that sleazebag hag, Condi, did?</strong></em></a> chances are quite good it'll be downhill from there.<!--more--></p>
<p>And it was.</p>
<p>As I suggested in my title, it was proudly, deliberately, and with relish as misogynist a thread as one might expect, all of which usually makes me think that the woman-haters at DU <em>love </em>it when one of the left's female political opponent has done something newsworthy, so they can all unload all their pent up misogyny in all the threads discussing it. It's just about that gratuitous, too, wouldn't you agree?</p>
<p>Have a sample, if you can stomach it:</p>
<blockquote><p><span class="medtext"><strong>TwoSparkles:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>10. Amazing, isn't it? </strong>(snip) She's an embarrassment to women and she's an embarrassment to women who make their career in politics.</p></blockquote>
<p>It's comments like this that fall under the wonderful explanation by columnist Carl Rowan: <strong><em>A minority group has "arrived" only when it has the right to produce some fools and scoundrels without the entire group paying for it."</em></strong> Condaleeza Rice no more represents the entire female population of the United States, or women in politics for that matter, than George Bush represents male politicians and therefore is an embarrassment to them. So such a comment about her as this one -- trying to hold her responsible for representing her entire sex and/or all women in politics -- is sexist to the core.</p>
<p><em>Edited to add: <strong><a href="http://www.feralscholar.org/blog/index.php/2008/06/06/elections-and-the-death-cult/#comments" target="_blank">Stan Goff just taught me</a></strong> that this is called Phenotype authenticity: </em></p>
<blockquote><p>Phenotype authenticity (wherein a woman is automatically seen as representative of <em>women</em>, or an African American is automatically seen as representative of African America) is a superficial and tangential cultural reflex. It is <em>not</em>, however, insignificant. Too many Black parents believe that Obama’s presidency will give a sense of renewed confidence to their children. This is superficial; it is tangential; and it is important. The same could have been said about girls had Clinton secured the nomination.</p></blockquote>
<p>Back to that disgusting sexist DU material:</p>
<blockquote><p><span class="medtext"><strong>liberalmuse:<br />
</strong></span><strong>12. I've no doubt...<br />
</strong>she is sporting a tiny, white dick somewhere 'down there'.</p>
<p><span class="medtext"><strong>formercia:<br />
</strong></span><strong>30. We're all pink on the inside.<br />
</strong>Hemaphrodite is more like it.</p>
<p><span class="medtext"><strong>spanone:<br />
</strong></span><strong>11. she's the essence of a four letter word that i'll 'punt' on using...wink wink nudge nudge</strong></p>
<p><strong>DS1 (in reponse to spanone's post):<br />
</strong><strong>16. seconded</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><span class="medtext"><strong>Cheap_Trick:<br />
</strong></span><strong>26. I like the term "Rescue Me" came up with....<br />
</strong>twunt</p></blockquote>
<p>As for me, I like the gender-neutral term <strong>Lex </strong>subsequently came up with:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>13. she's wretched.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Isn't it a bit of a jolt when you see the gender slurs laid out like that, one after another? The thread lightens up a bit after that, but doesn't end before at least one more DUer, another woman, <span class="medtext"><strong>alyce douglas, </strong>just </span>has to weigh in with an ugly gender slur: <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=389&#38;topic_id=3653110&#38;mesg_id=3653372" target="_blank">douchebag</a>.</p>
<p>You'd think threads like this would shame DU admin, but nooooooo. They love it. They approve wholeheartedly -- they must, else things would be different, now, wouldn't they?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And again. It gets so old, the same old tired arguments.</p>
<p>Here's yet another DU round of the "We hate Hillary  (not to mention other women) so much we won't even admit she endured sexism in her primary election." Gag.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&#38;address=132x6518725#6518729" target="_blank">EMILY's List: Hillary's loss a lesson for women</a></strong></p>
<p>EMILY's List founder Ellen Malcolm says</p>
<blockquote><p>this year's drubbing of Hillary Clinton - endorsed by EMILY's List - raised the glass ceiling for women and taught her that sexism is still rampant in American politics.</p>
<p>"There was a glaring, nasty, sexist reaction to her that didn't generate a lot of backlash," Malcolm said in an interview with The Associated Press. "For the most part, it was open season on her. It was a warning to young women there is still sexism in our society."</p></blockquote>
<p>Please note that NO WHERE does Malcolm say, or even suggest, <!--more-->that Clinton lost exclusively due to sexism. She merely notes that there's still a lot of it in our culture, as evidenced by what Clinton had to endure.</p>
<p>And yet -- true to the absolute <em>relentless </em>pattern on DU and elsewhere throughout the entire campaign -- few people get it. Some take great pleasure in just being argumentative; many just over-react in knee-jerk fashion, insisting that Clinton lost purely for other reasons and sexism had <em>nothing </em>to do with it;  some clearly dredge up this strawman quite purposely; and others are just so misogynist they don't get it, no way, no how and never will.</p>
<p>Straight out of the box, post #1 to the thread, the too-too-aptly named <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518729" target="_blank"><strong>wienerdoggie</strong></a> attempts to "equalize" the discussion with that old misogynist favorite, the faux argument of equivalency ("but what about men too?"):</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>When Romney lost the primary, was it a lesson for men?<br />
</strong>When people ridiculed Huckabee for not getting out after the math became impossible, was that sexist?</p></blockquote>
<p>This gem was followed by many off-topic, rather pointless posts.</p>
<p>Here's a clue, chump: when discussing actual sexism and misogyny, it's hardly EVER appropriate  to bring up the issue of men and how they're treated or what they endure. Don't even try; it makes you look foolish, not to mention self-centered and narcissistic (as men are so wont to be).</p>
<p>Post #2, much further down thanks to all the off-topic posts, starts already with the strawman argument:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>2. The article is bullshit. Hillary's loss had NOTHING to do with sexism.<br />
</strong>Hillary lost because she wasn't the best candidate. It's as simple as that.</p></blockquote>
<p>The truth is, there were many reasons Clinton lost her primary campaign. But we will never -- <em>can never </em>-- know to what extent sexism and misogyny figured in. She had terrifically high negatives, for example. Am I the only one who thinks (scratch that: KNOWS)  that some of those high negatives were pure sexism and very little else? I can't know what percentage, but I do know that there was sexism aplenty.</p>
<p>Here, for example, is one of DU's finest and "most respected" members, <strong>TahitiNut,</strong> posting a ridiculously <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6045580&#38;mesg_id=6046358" target="_blank">misogynist cartoon</a> depicting Clinton as a hypocritical spoiled brat, using her gender as an excuse and a defense. This, of course, is pure blame the victim bullshit and it was as beneath TahitiNut as all the other wonderful DUers who posted it, and there were many.</p>
<p>Hooray. <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518753http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518753" target="_blank">Merlot </a>gets it right:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>7. I don't think the article claimed Hillarys loss was due to sexism<br />
</strong>It just pointed out that sexism is alive and well, as evidenced by Hillarys treatment.</p></blockquote>
<p>as do several others. But even <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6519186" target="_blank"><strong>polichick </strong></a>doesn't get it. <strong><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6519303" target="_blank">Twice </a></strong>she says:</p>
<blockquote><p><img src="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/images/transparent.gif" border="0" alt="" width="48" height="1" /></p>
<div class="medtext longop">I wonder why some continue to suggest that HRC's loss was due to sexism.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>And what is a thread about women's issues without the (absolutely infuriating) man who (thinks he) knows it all? Here's <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518775" target="_blank"><strong>JackORoses</strong></a> to tell us exactly what went down with Clinton's electoral successes:</p>
<blockquote><p>Being a Woman was, if anything, a great advantage for her, as she mostly had the Women's vote guaranteed in every state right from the start. She gained many more votes due to her gender than she lost to sexism.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bullshit. Every word of it. She had SOME women's votes, but there were plenty of perfectly Democratic women who simply loathed her -- like myself. Old Jack has NO idea whereof he speaks, and makes a damn fool of himself in the process. ("Best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt," Jack.)</p>
<p><strong>Jakes Progress </strong>comes along and <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518783" target="_blank"><strong>i</strong><strong>nserts some sanity</strong></a><strong> </strong>which riles a few of the women whose  internalized oppression comes roaring to the fore -- namely <strong><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518791" target="_blank">babylonsister</a></strong>, <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518783" target="_blank"><strong>jaxx</strong></a>, and saddest of all, <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6518821" target="_blank"><strong>scarletwoman</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Scarletwoman's deep resentment that Clinton didn't climb all the way to the top on her own -- without her husband -- is your first clue. But she doesn't realize how sexist that is. Holding Clinton, or any woman, up to standards we don't usually demand of men in the same position is sexism pure and simple.</p>
<p>Sure, there was <em>some </em>discussion of George W getting help from his father and his father's friends in 2000, but for the most part it was all just allowed, considered part of the normal routine for well-to-do and well-connected families, or at least for the MEN in those families. How much discussion has there <em>ever </em>been of the various members of the Kennedy clan running for office, and winning? Who had bitter and unflattering things to say about Romney's father being a politician thus giving Mitt a bit of a leg up?</p>
<p>I don't fully appreciate or approve of cronyism or nepotism, but people are who they are, they know who they know, they do what they do, they have advantages presented to them on the basis of those facts. Sometimes WHO they know is as much an accomplishment as WHAT they know. Family members of politicians becoming politicians and running for office isn't new -- and usually isn't exceptional. Why <em>shouldn't</em> Hillary Clinton take advantage of it if she wanted to serve in that capacity? Or more importantly, why should that door be closed to her and not anyone else? Different rules and standards = sexist.</p>
<p>Scarletwoman <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6519324" target="_blank"><strong>says</strong></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>And by the way, Hillary Clinton would NEVER have been a contender for president if she wasn't the wife of a former president. I highly doubt she would have even been a candidate for the New York Senate seat. She's a millionaire with big name recognition through her husband; she's not some anonymous woman working her way up the ladder all on her own being held down because of her gender -- the very idea of Hillary as a victim of "sexism" is laughable on its face.</p></blockquote>
<p>I think scarletwoman is right that Clinton wouldn't at this point, anyway, have been a contender exclusively on her own. But again, why should that path be denied to her and no one else?</p>
<p>And actually, the sexism she has endured has been undeniable, and pretty rank at times. This is class envy, or a form of it, from scarletwoman and it's terribly unflattering to boot. I hope she'll give it some long, hard thought and come to terms with the underlying principles and premises involved. And the sexism involved.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&#38;forum=132&#38;topic_id=6518725&#38;mesg_id=6519348" target="_blank"><strong>Newmajority </strong></a>resents her connections as well:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>79. Hillary was "sexist" against herself!<br />
</strong>Her entire candidacy was based on the fact that she was married to Bill Clinton! All of her "experience" was based on his record in the White House. What could be more "sexist" than a woman who couldn't get where she is without a man's help.</p></blockquote>
<p>I guess according to scarletwoman and newmajority, Hillary had no right to run since it's only okay for a woman to run if she has NO male connections in the political world. And apparently the next woman who runs must not have any connections to male politicians at all.</p>
<p>And on it goes. I've wasted enough time on this pathetic discussion. But do be sure to sample it yourselves. Feel free to post any other atrocities I missed that you stumble across.</p>

This piece of trash goes by the name of Roger Helbig. Roger Helbig is a retired Airforce Lt Col. Roger Helbig has made it is lives work to bully people like me into silence about Depleted Uranium. </strong></p>
<p>He started commenting on my depleted <a href="http://aotearoaawiderperspective.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/open-letter-to-the-green-party-leadership/">Uranium posts</a> within 24 hours after the first publication. I did not know because his name is so notorious that Askimet puts his rants in the spam filter straight away. Only when I checked the filter did I find out. I googled his name and this is what some of my all time heroes have to say about him. Doug Rokke Phd is a specialist in DU and is now dying of DU contamination and one of the Key people in the ongoing strugle to stop the use of DU responded to accusations of Helbig as <a href="http://www.axisoflogic.com/cgi-bin/exec/view.pl?archive=137&#38;num=16798">follows</a>.</p>
<p>Another one of my heroes Felicity Arbuthnot has <a href="http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2007/02/16/they_ve_sent_helbig_after_me">this</a> to say about Roger Helbig.</p>
<p>To be honest I don't know if I should feel flattered because I have been grouped with people I consider to be heroes or scared shitless because this piece of Pentagon filth can find my blog within 24 hours.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meine Damen und Herren,</p>
<p>Ich war bisher der Ansicht, der Generation DU anzugehören. Sie kennen das: man lernt Freunde von Freunden kennen, man geht auf eine Party oder eine Geburtstagsfeier, und alles, was nicht dreißig Jahre älter ist, wird gnadenlos geduzt. In der Generation meiner Eltern war man hingegen mit guten Bekannten auch nach dreißig Jahren noch per Sie, sofern man sich nicht mal beim Frühschoppen oder beim nachmittäglichen Eierlikör verbrüdert hatte. <em>Fräulein Hildegard, sagen Sie jetzt nichts... ich liebe Sie.</em></p>
<p>In der Blogosphäre ist mir angenehm aufgefallen, dass man sich in den wechselseitigen Kommentaren respektvoll siezt. Mir gefällt das. Sympathie steht und fällt schließlich NICHT mit der Anrede, sondern mit dem gegenseitigen Respekt.</p>
<p>Wäre ich künftig in der erfreulichen Situation, den einen oder die andere von Ihnen persönlich kennenzulernen, würde mir gewiss das in Chaträumen so verbreitete Du herausrutschen. Bitte verstehen Sie das nicht als Zeichen fehlenden Respekts.</p>
<p>Stets die Ihre!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">DU is all set to change the scene for the benefit of physically challenged students. In keeping with their efforts to provide equal opportunities to the physically disabled so their disability will not act as a barrier in their education, DU plans to make its campus fully accessible by 2009. to begin with it plans to arrange a special transportation service for these students, wherein buses will pick them from their homes and then leave them at their college. Besides, the university is also setting up a resource-centre, which will be functional by August-mid and will have computer training programmes, braille display, braille embosser, one-hand keyboard among many other things. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">And these are only a few of the proposed measures. Now, time and again, announcements and even claims are made to make our city disabled-friendly. How far do you think these claims are true? Do you think our city is disabled-friendly and our citizens sensitised? If not, how can we truly reach that friendly mark? Suggest.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Lack of awareness about the scope and nature of Home Economics has resulted in very few DU aspirants]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">Lack of awareness about the scope and nature of Home Economics has resulted in very few DU </span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">aspirants opting for the subject. Although many have been disappointed by the third list results for other streams, few want to study Home Economics.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">So, at a time when getting admission in any Delhi college is as uncertain as sweepstakes, there’s one institution which hasn’t seen any mad dash for seats, at all. The Institute of Home Economics in<span>  </span>Hauz Khas still has 40 seats lying vacant in<span>  </span>the B.SC (hons) home sciences course. College authorities just can’t figure out the reason behind this drought despite the cut-off being slashed to 50 per cent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">Now, Home Sciences is not only about stitching and knitting, as is the general perception. In second year, the students also get to opt for specialisation in five streams – food and nutrition, fabric and apparel science, human development, resources management and communication and extension. It is a curriculum offers students huge opportunities to be employed in any of the sectors related to the streams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">What in your view could be the reason for fall in popularity of this course? Do you think the course needs re-branding? A glamming up of sorts? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;">The course definitely has career opportunities opening up after completion, then what could be the reason that not many people are opting for the course? Does image play a role in course selection? </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Ich möchte sie zählen, die Sommersprossen.<br />
Alle und jede suchen.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Die Gesamtanzahl erfassen.<br />
Für jede Gezählte gibt es einen sanften Kuss.
</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dein Körper darf sich die Stellen aussuchen.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Die Stellen an denen sich die Küsse nieder pflanzen dürfen.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Wärme und mehr würde enstehen ...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Und so bleibt die Sehnsucht bei mir, in mir, mit mir.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Eine schöne Vorstellung von einem Sommer, ein Sommer der Liebe.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sommersprossen sind ein Zeichen des Sommers, der Frische.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Lebender liebender Sommer.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Also ich finde das ja wirklich faszinierend. Das mit dem „Du“ und dem „Sie“. Da ist man 30 J]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Also ich finde das ja wirklich faszinierend. Das mit dem „Du“ und dem „Sie“. Da ist man 30 Jahre alt und die Leute können sich immer noch nicht entscheiden ob sie Dich jetzt siezen oder duzen. Und lustigerweise wird man immer dann geduzt wenn man gesiezt werden will und umgekehrt.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Grundsätzlich gilt ja (glaube ich…. verbessert mich wenn ich jetzt was Falsches sage!) immer noch die Regel: Das „Du“ muss angeboten werden. Und zwar von der jeweils älteren Person. Das ist so ein Respekt-Ding. Und irgendwie erklärt es sich ja auch von selbst. Mir würde im Traum nicht einfallen, eine ältere Dame oder einen älteren Herren einfach so zu duzen. (Na gut, neulich hab ich den Erdbeermann an der Straße geduzt. Hm, ziemlich unhöflich noch dazu. „Hey, host du no Erdbeern?“ hab ich ihm aus dem Auto heraus zugerufen. Das war aber, und das möchte ich hiermit betonen, ein Versehen. Ein Ausrutscher sozusagen. Ich meine, anderen passiert ein Ausrutscher und sie sind gleich schwanger, ich hab halt einfach nur den Erdbeermann geduzt. In die richtige Relation gesetzt war das also gar nicht so schlimm. Aber wenn der Erdbeermann das hier lesen sollte: Es tut mir leid! Ich werde hart an mir arbeiten damit mir das in der nächsten Erdbeersaison nicht wieder passiert, versprochen!)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, aber ganz grundsätzlich bin ich schon ganz gut erzogen. Da haben meine Eltern, bzw. in erster Linie meine Oma, ganz penibel drauf geachtet, dass das Kind immer höflich ist, schön „bitte“ und „danke“ sagt und natürlich jedem die Hand gibt, der im Umkreis von drei Kilometern rumsteht. Als Kind schämst Du Dich natürlich immer bei sowas und außerdem gehen Dir die Sprüche á la „Mei, bist Du aber groß geworden!“ oder „Hach, Du bist ja schon eine richtige Dame!“ ziemlich auf den Wecker. Übrigens, an alle die damals immer solche Sachen zu mir gesagt haben: Ich bin NICHT mehr größer geworden. Und das mit der Dame, nun ja, ob das so funktioniert hat, wie Ihr Euch das vorgestellt habt?;-)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Auf jeden Fall, um zum Thema zurückzukommen, ich finde das manchmal echt unmöglich. Da melde ich mich am Telefon, wohlgemerkt in der Arbeit, nicht daheim, ganz freundlich und sag auch noch „Guten Tag“ oder „Grüß Gott“ und dann fliegt mir nur ein „Griasde, is da Chef a do?“ entgegen? Ja sagt’s mal, wo sind wir denn? Gut, aufm Bau. Ok, nee, is klar, da müssen wir schon Abstriche machen. Aber es passiert ja auch anderswo. In irgendwelchen Läden zum Beispiel. Du, Königin Kunde, läufst da ein und willst ein Vermögen von sagen wir mal 19,90 € verschleudern und alles was Du bekommst ist ein „Darf ich es Dir in ‚ne Tüte packen?“ Andersrum natürlich genauso unangenehm, wenn nicht gar schlimmer: Du sitzt zum Beispiel in einer Bar, am Nebentisch ein echtes Zuckerschneckchen von Vielleicht-Flirt und plötzlich kommt er her und fragt Dich: „Entschuldigen Sie, könnte ich diesen Stuhl haben?“ Baby Du kannst den ganzen Tisch haben, ich muss sowieso gleich zurück ins Altersheim<span style="font-family:Wingdings;">! :-)</span></p>

</dl>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ja aber wie denn nun? Will ich jetzt ein „Du“ oder ein „Sie“? Ich kann mich halt wie so oft nicht entscheiden. Also so ganz pauschal hätt ich gerne in offiziellen Dingen ein „Sie“, schießlich bin ich eine erwachsene Frau, der man <strong>dementsprechend Respekt entgegenbringen</strong> soll. Und inoffiziell, also in der Kneipe oder so, da hätt ich lieber gern das „Du“. Denn ich geh ja weg weil ich noch so jung bin und so hip und so. Ist beides bescheuert, aber wenn ich schon rummeckere, muss ich hier ja noch eine abschließende Ansage machen. Oder auch nicht.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In diesem Sinne,</p>
<p>schau wieder rein und besuchen Sie mich bald wieder!</p>
