Random & Paste Poem
A post of David Weinberger in JOHO. Gave me the following idea:
What if you go to a Cybercafe or a College Computer lab or any place with lots of computer and made a poem out of whatever is in the various clipboards? Just Paste!
André Breton, René Magritte, and Salvador Dalí would have loved it.

I am not a fucking consumer. I am a paying customer
What's the value of a relationship? Or vice versa? 
| | In the front-loaded economy, there is a case for consumers to expect goods and services for free. Consumers--who think that they should be able to swap songs for free, use pirated software, or obtain medicines at a competitive price without paying a markup to patent holders--are not entirely wrong. The most efficient allocation of goods and services is obtained when the price is equal to marginal cost--and if the marginal cost is zero, so be it. |
| | I am not a fucking consumer. I am a paying customer. I have bought thousands of dollars worth of music and other recorded goods over many years, and would gladly continue to do that, if there were a real marketplace that allowed it. The Net creates a necessary but insufficient founding condition for that marketplace. And the entertainment industry wants to fuck that up because they see real market relationships as a threat to the old unbalanced producer/consumer power advantage (which isn't a relationship at all) that they've enjoyed since the Harding Administration. |

Historical Atlas of the Twentieth Century
The more interesting thing is the map of political systems through history. In the 1990's must of the world was living in democratic-like systems. The exceptions where in Africa, Red China and the middle east (where only Israel shines). The blue parts is what I called the Neo-Western World. I don't know what country is the one called "Autocracy" in Europe, do you?

Another Suicide Bomber Apologist
Kids With Bombs. To understand why Ariel Sharon's harsh tactics are self-defeating, come here to this Gaza Strip refugee camp and talk to young Palestinians. By Nicholas D. Kristof. [New York Times: Opinion]
Go ahead, apply the same reasoning to 9/11. What the article shows is that Israel has to put all his force in stopping the attacks. The hatred can't be stopped since it is breed from birth.
