Voting for what in such refugee camps anyway?

For a democracy to be fruitful it needs both a free flow of information and a leader able to personify a screen on which citizens recognized themselves. Therefore, a fruitful democracy is not a representative democracy with a president surrounded by experts but a deliberative democracy with a moderator-in-chief.

Zoo animals are very well treated.

Your self-defeating attitude is worst than Raitt's self-obsessed one.

What those who are opposed to this bailout don't seem to understand is that social cooperation is more fundamental than pure competition. Without a state expressing its will to guarantee social cooperation, competition itself would end up rapidly into pure madness.

I refer to Zizek because he writes in English; the best references are in French.

Playing the police role now!?

Don't bet on that! This notion of "last resort" is more inapplicable for the Jewish culture than for the western cultures. To understand why, you have to learn about what is a reflexive determination. In a nutshell, when someone is terrorized, he becomes a terrorist out of a purely moral stance. http://books.google.com/books?id=cKD8j-hHJ...num=3#PPT144,M1

Montreal is a hub for computer-generated terror movie.

What kills people is when the village fool is forced to migrate in a megalopolis because of intolerant rural areas rednecks.

What is really significant is that American-movie goers nowadays like a lot more Hollywood catastrophe fictions where everything is destroy than when it is only one of their main cities that is wipe out.

You probably like to watch magicians!

The truth is that I like to live in downtown Montreal where the turnover of my neighbors is so intense that I see my paranoia as a laughing matter.

Economics is called the "dismal science" because it likes to remember us that we cannot have them both; we have to choose one of them.

Treating some people like zoo animals is everything but a needed solution.

Very good post! To it, I would have been just a little bit more precise when writing "the Americans hold the key to the nukes". I would have written that the USA may believe that no country (except the USA) possess enough nukes to annihilate all possibilities of human life in America.

Pointing finger is the only concrete "solution" you are proposing here.

So-called Islamic "terrorists" only react to such terrorizing possibilities.

On this present GM topic too your opinion seems a blind application of the right-wing ideology.

Look at the natives to find a will to rebuild their communities, when one of their brothers becomes violent, they don't hurry themselves to put him in jail forever.

You are confusing semiotics and semantics. Semiotics (signs) is this kind of lowest common denominator but the quilting point is related to semantics that is to meaning (the signified).

To me, politics requires selflessness; Raitt has shown only a lot of self-centeredness (by misusing the words "credits" and "sexy") and some self-control (by speaking of her family).

Just by hearing the tape.

By definition, a westerner is someone who doesn't care much about his community; a westerner is someone who leaves behind his eastern roots to go after natural resources in the wild.
