The day after memorial day

Victory is the complete knowledge of the enemy.

It is scaring that almost 4 years after 9/11 we still insist, and especially the political and media elite, forget about the academic elite it is completely out for lunch, to refuse to recognize the nature of the enemy.
Despite the quasi universal denial of the enemy, sometimes something happens: in Europe good news : the French, forget about the motivation of the non vote to The Treaty of the Constitution of Europe, objectively helped for now to postpone the entrance of Turkey in Europe. Of course the so called constitution of Europe was an aberration of artificiality. The brain less European elite wants to impose 495 pages of regulations on a living continent as Europe. They do not realize the history of humanity is history of freedom. They forgot that one Soviet Union with its commissioners was enough. If they really want have a constitution for Europe, they have to go back to the drawing board. The first item on the board is the election, after a ample campaign, of members of constitutional assembly directly from the people.
The basic principle of every democracy is an authentic principle of representation. It is still valid that "taxation without representation" is a no no. "Constitution without representation" it is still a no no.
The second item on the board is what the supreme court justice of United States told a journalist, who asked him what was so special about the constitution of United States: "first of all it is short".
Constitutional law 101: the constitution has to be written by legitimately elected representative of the people, not appointees by governments.
A real political unification comes after a cultural integration is happened . To achieve it the actual members have to spend energies and money in cultural integration. They have to create compulsory language program since the elementary in every member state, without shared languages, will be no political desire for political unification. In the beginning of 21st century, Europe do not have a decent European TV, not even a c-span. The translation of books is so low among members states that is at level of cultural indecency. Without a real net of communication there will not be political convention.
The trouble with the elite of to day Europe is that in order to produce a great constitution like the one of the United State, we have to have political Geniuses like Jefferson , Madison, Hamilton , Adams, Franklin etc .Political geniuses created a system that can be run by Idiots. Sometimes, in history of the United State literally idiots were in control ( think about Carter and his answer to Komeinei and the consequences of that answer that lasted until 9/11, but the "Republic was Kept".
In Europe, we have now idiots who produced a Constitution that the "genius" of the people have the courage to stop, before such product of idiocy will destroy what is still left of the living European Continent.

This is a pretty sunset. 

Get a life : Paris Hilton

The reaction of the so called conservative or family oriented organizations to the last Paris Hilton commercial shows that they do not have anything better to do. What about trying to convince former mayor Giuliani to come back to family values. A republican with three marriages and two divorces. Is he a poster child for family values? And lets not talk about hypocrisy, or the republican mayor of Spokane. The conservatives have so much work to do in their own house and I am sure they rembember what the gospel said "who is without sin throw the first stone". And beside every thing, get a life and enjoy the beautiful curves of Paris Hilton, who by the way is as American as apple pie. A good conservative has to love everything that is American.

Poetry : leopardi

Gaicomo LEOPARDI (1798-1837)
L’ Infinito
translated by Andrea Grover pg3@nyu.edu



This solitary hill has always been dear to me
And this hedge, that keeps so much
Of the horizon from view.
But pausing and contemplating, I create from my thoughts
Interminable spaces beyond that, and superhuman
Silences, and the most profound calm;
Almost frightening to me. But when I
Hear the wind rustling through these plants, I start comparing
That infinite silence to this sound: and I am reminded of eternity,
And seasons past, the present
And living one, and the sound of it. Thus amidst this
Vastness my thoughts drown;
And it is sweet to be shipwrecked in this sea.

Do not read Bs

1. 90 % of books published are an insult to intelligence is their prerogative. Reading is like eating. You have to develop a taste and you acquire taste only eating good food. If you used to eat meatball and overcooked spaghetti, you will never know what is tasty food. in order to dismantle the bad taste reinforced by reading lousy reviews you start reading book like ON BULLSHIT by professor Harry G. Frankfurt, Princeton University Press,2005 .After reading this book, you realized how much bs is around you.
2. You will be stronger to distinguish between bs and real thinking. Do not worry if at the beginning it will be not easy.
3. After Frankfurt book you can read the book of Jonathan Rauch, Kindly inquisitor. After, let me know.

The beauty of the meaningless of life

Life is meaningless. This is its beauty. Everybody can put meaning in his life. Life becomes so interesting if every day, every hour, every minute you put your meaning in your life. Do not accept the farfetched story that other people are eager to sell you as the meaning in your life. When you start to accept their meaning, you start to give up your life and you become a prisoner and suddenly life starts to be sad. With their farfecheted story, they want to destroy your joy of life by commanding and forbidding, by taking away from you the joy of freedom of knowledge. Pursue your meaning through science, experience, daring and free thinking. Never accept any statement without solid evidence. By putting your own meaning in your life, you will never be a victim of charlatans and bullshitters of every age and culture. You will be stronger and will never experience illusion or disillusion. Disillusion is illusion. Between illusion and disillusion is your reality with your meaning. Do not let anybody define you.
