MM’s recent post, Decline, begs question, “How does he define campaigning?” To campaign, do we always need to take to the streets, or can we campaign like STOP EUGENICS? That team has been working very hard, and still going strong. Without going into any detailed analysis of his post, which lacks any serious analysis, and merely asks questions that appeal to the lazy thinkers who like their questions white and their answers black, or vice versa, with the subtext of Deaf bashing! As for cricit

BUTUAN CITY- Environmentalist group Caraga Watch today expressed support to former President Estrada’s proposal in urging Congress to declare illegal logging as a heinous crime.

Barack Obama’s camp announced yesterday he will make a trip to Europe and the Middle East — including a visit to Israel. Judging by some of the media’s accounts of the Israel swing, it’s not a moment too soon for Obama. Associated Press: The stop in Israel could help improve Obama’s standing among Jewish voters. Some Jews are concerned about Obama’s willingness to speak with Middle Eastern nations that oppose Israel, while others wonder whether he is a closet Muslim. AFP: Seeking to beat b

We just came home from seeing Wall-E. And I have one word: Wow-EE. Seriously, this is a MUST-SEE movie. It is a movie for your children. It is not a childrens' movie. The message of the movie, which is ultimately one of hope, isn't for us as parents, or grandparents. It is for the next generation. The message has already fallen on deaf ears. It is too late for us. We've squandered our resources, too set in our ways. But it is not too late to reach our children. And they? Will heed the warning.

Tell that to my neighbours. For some weird reason, they persist in holding these all-night jagrans in the apartment complex. A pundit with a not-so-pleasant voice leads the congregation (my neighbours and their friends and friends of friends) in singing bhajans praising God in all his divine glory. They start at around 10 pm and go on till dawn. Which means I either have to drown out the cacophony with the television on at full blast or stuff cotton in my ears. Unfortunately, neither

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.-Acts 20:24 Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are becoming extinct in Canada these days. The current "rule of law" in Canada comes down to simply this: the right not to be offended by someone else's words now trumps the right of freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Today I learned from a mailing list that Norwegian Sign Language is recognised as an official language of Norway. This is good news. I understand it to mean that there is now a legal recognition for the fact that sign language is a legal method of communication between a state and its citizens. In the e-mail thread, the question was raised if there is a list of sign languages that have an official status. I found this list on the English Wikipedia, it already included the Norwegian Sign Langu

Language is such a mysterious thing. I'm curious about the origins of human language. I suspect the study of language potentiality within great apes will reveal much. Of course they lack vocal cords and other speech organs, but at the same time appear to possess an ability to grasp the structures of language and so can learn sign language. at the same time I'm intrigued by the language mimicry of certain birds, who can do the sounds without apparently the ability to understand.

Makes one sanguine for Clinton's in flagrante delictos. If you read nothing else, read this.

I think my only problem with her choice in music is that it tends to make her a little bitey. Then again, she doesn't exactly see straight, and whenever she tries to chomp on me, she usually just winds up biting the couch, the houseplants, or poor, confused DogCat. Anyway, I liked this one.

Before you get upset with these words, do take them into serious consideration: it is a perspective we need to understand and perhaps take it into account the next time a protest occurs. Have you read the book Big Man on Campus (2008), by the former president of George Washington University, Stephen Trachtenberg?

Just want to be certain you heard that John "Underdog" McCain seems to have a secret about the November presidential election: McCain predicts he'll overtake Obama 48 hours before the election so he must know something we don't know. Sounds to me like Underdog, as he's calling himself, has received an assurance from Karl Rove. Well, November 4 is a Lunar Return for John McCain, his natal Moon conjuncts US natal Pluto (power; the secret hand), and thus Underdog's n Pluto opposes US n

Mack Collier at MarketingProfs questioned the habit of some - including social media pros - of using media like Twitter to announce new blog posts, and not much else: Lately I’ve been seeing a troubling trend on some blogs, and especially on Twitter. What I’m noticing is that some well-known and established players in the social media space are using these tools not as ways to interact and be “social,” but instead as channels to “broadcast” the media they are creating.
