'Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case.'
Just had a mini movie play out in my head of all these majuscule and miniscule letters being packed up in cases. Majuscule in the top compartment of the train. Miniscule below the seat.
In 1992, she also started a foundation for orphaned children living on the streets of Caracas, the Atenea Foundation. She also went on to co-found the vote-monitoring organisation Súmate in 2002, which aims to promote free and fair elections, marking her official entry into politics.
Norway is my ideal of a nation state. Deciding to nationalise profits from anything dug out of the earth and sea because they know in their bones that we all live in a society. Not an economy. The economy is a construct established to serve a society as best as is possible. That and their integrity.
A flotilla of brave multinational people attempting to sail supplies into Gaza shines the light of reason on the travesty unfolding in Gaza. Meanwhile, a plenary of refugees from reason continues to do the same self-defeating & vindictive things in Washington. Light & shadow oeuvres of our present.
The difference between the wise and the perennially stoopid is that the wise learn from their mistakes. Trump, and his merry band of low calibre refugees from reality, are in the latter category.
The U.S. economy is teetering on the edge of recession. The EU needs to find alternate markets rather than rely on one that is clearly unstable. India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan all have enormous populations and expanding market share. Think bigger.
Disagree. If you look at the long arc of history, it's been pretty impressive. Install zealot Justices. Pick the perfect con man with a weakness for gold. Create a false narrative of 'them - intelligentsia, woke, mouthy wimmin, coloured folk' - et voilà! Opus Dei played the long game here.
Still reckon it is infinitely better to live in Australia - yet I get the critique of the anti-intellectual inanity of the Trump regime. Of course, the whole impetus behind it is that the poor people who voted for him against their own best interests did so due to anti-intellectual grievance.
They are also bullying Australia to dismantle our PBS which gives us affordable medicine. Tariffs are nothing more than a bullying tactic to force us all to become more like them- which is a nation with acute societal disadvantage and an insane climate change response.
Opus Dei has certainly played a patient long game. Stack SCOTUS with zealots, engage a showman populist with a weakness for gold to hypnotise the weak of mind then when everything is in place, send in the troops to incite a violent response in order to legitimise the installation of martial law.
