Bahrain's inept handling of students
Hard Lessons in Democracy Building | Human Rights First: "The Bahraini government’s inept handling of its students is a great example of why the Kingdom is increasingly seen as a pariah state. Dozens of students were arrested and hundreds more were expelled earlier this year following large-scale peaceful protests calling for democratic reform in the Bahrain. These students faced aggressive interrogations about their possible participation in political protests and some were even asked to identify classmates in demonstration photos that appeared on social networking sites such as Facebook."

Media not central to nonviolent movement's success
Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement -- The Onion Theory of Nonviolent Protest: "Since the purpose of a nonviolent action is to build a political, people-power movement, if it positively affects the first three layers of the audience onion towards that end it is a success regardless of media coverage. More than 90% of all the nonviolent protests conducted by the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s had no media coverage whatsoever, not a single radio sound bite, not a single newspaper sentence, yet they profoundly changed the participants, observers, and grapevine as well as their communities and the nation as a whole"

Jesus gospel is what he said it was in Mark

"Jesus gospel is what he said it was in Mark: Abba's kingdom, or realm, is at hand. Repent and believe this good news.

Biography with a bite
I Blame The Patriarchy: "Born a mousey intellectual, in my twenties I discovered all the perks of Porn2K-Compliance. I amassed drawers full of Chanel makeup. I had boxes of wigs. I combed the thrift stores incessantly. I had so many clothes I had to turn a spare bedroom into a closet."

An age of post-secularism?
Taking a stance « The Immanent Frame: "I conclude by noting that a new politics of tolerance and citizenship may not sit easily with secularism as it is defined by Bilgrami. Does this mean that the outcome is not a form of secularism? The answer to this question will vary, depending on whether one thinks that secularism is less cohesive as a concept than Bilgrami argues it is, or whether one thinks that we have moved into an age of post-secularism."

A radical version of U.S. disestablishment
Going to law « The Immanent Frame: "A radical version of U.S. disestablishment would suggest that churches in the U.S. are, and have from the beginning been, understood to be entirely voluntary and private organizations that survive or not due to the enthusiasm and pocketbooks of their congregants (and God’s will), not public institutions legally defined and supported by the state. State-supported churches with their own jurisdictional domains were the common model in Europe. Arguably it is that model that Americans have been trying to get away from for several hundred years. The ministerial exceptions, and other lingering legal privileges for American churches, particularly the most legal-minded of them, seem, at times, to be vestiges of that older European model."

Perry comes off as flat out weird
Rick Perry Goes Full On Goofy in New Hampshire | Addicting Info: "It’s hard to know what to make of Governor Perry’s campaign thus far. Is he serious? Does he really want to be president? Who the hell knows?
However, I would argue that his ascent/descent trajectory clearly outpaces any that I’ve ever seen, including that of the former half-term governor from Alaska."
Video commentary - maybe the last we'll see of him?

Krugman buys the supercommittee charade
Bombs, Bridges and Jobs - NYTimes.com: "What’s bringing out the military big spenders is the approaching deadline for the so-called supercommittee to agree on a plan for deficit reduction. If no agreement is reached, this failure is supposed to trigger cuts in the defense budget."
Or else he just wants to prove how dunderheaded we are about what constitutes actual evil in the world. That would be big military spending which is lethality by conscious and implicit intent. The Supercommittee will fail and the result will not be the massive cuts triggered to go into effect. The result will be that that will be voted down. The cuts will only come if the people wake up and build a new world based on moral principles that assume that human beings are responsible for both good and evil.

Given the failure to grasp this self-evident, a massive global double bind exists that is driving (literally) the world crazy. Technology is incapable of directing the world to a viable future. That depends on human insight.
