PG wrote: Coming back to the original question, are conservatives those who want change (law of the jungle), or those who want to preserve stability (things were good back then...)? Conservatives are the dinosaur in the story. They are unmovable, lazy (they want no effort) and stupid. And I say stupid because in the end their size will be their doom. They can't have fun without 260hp... Efficient creatures (sardines, ants, cyclists, kayakers) have a much brighter future, particularly now that the barrel of oil hit $60--and rising. And they shall inherit the Earth (the meek shall...). Well, there's a revolution for them now. "The Kayakers' Revolution" Well guys, I'm not positive yet about the name of the revolution, whether banana, sardines, cyclits' or simply kayakers' revolution. But at least I've got a pretty good idea about the content, and that's good, right? Anyway, are you tired of all those revolution and counter-revolutions in Latin America that confuse you more than politics in America, and that send THOUSANDS LOOKING FOR REFUGE IN AMERICA? Well, here's YOUR revolution... *** "Do you want Revolution or Counter-Revolution--or none?" 'World Economic Forum chief economist Mr. Augusto Lopez-Claros said that the Nordic countries provide a "workable model for the rest of the world"' Latin American "revolutions"...always a violent monkey in power, who, of course, kicked out a Hungry Lion. Then all those accusations and counter-accusations, plots and counter-plots, armamentism and counter-armamentism, revolution and counter-revolution... But all this eats up the resources of the little people who must be wondering where's their part. Meanwhile nice and quietly some countries in the world lead all rankings important to people, all within Freedom and Abundance. And most importantly, they lead the way in empowering women, not a macho man. Well, I could be talking about the Banana Revolution (links below), but not quite, I'm talking some real working models that are the basis for it... Nordic countries top women/men equality ranking Nordic women enjoy a higher standard of living than women in other parts of the world. According to the 2005 Gender Gap Index published by the World Economic Forum, the Nordic countries have the most gender-equal society in the world The Most Gender-Equal Countries in the World The Nordics are providing a workable model for the rest of the world The WEF report is the first ever study to assess the size of the gap between men and women in five areas: equal pay for equal work, access to the labour market, representation of women in politics, access to education, and access to health care. The aim of the report is to allow countries to identify their strengths and weaknesses in an area that is of critical importance for development, and to provide opportunities for countries to learn from the experiences of others that have been more successful in promoting the equality of women and men. World Economic Forum chief economist Mr. Augusto Lopez-Claros said that the Nordic countries provide a "workable model for the rest of the world" and that "it is not surprising that the Nordic countries also occupy privileged positions in the global competitiveness rankings". Mr. Lopez-Claros declared that the Nordics "have understood the economic incentive behind empowering women: countries that do not fully capitalise on one-half of their human resources are clearly undermining their competitive potential". The WEF report noted that the Nordic countries are characterised by strongly liberal societies with an impressive record of openness and transparency in government, and comprehensive welfare systems that provide security to vulnerable groups in the population. That allows Nordic women to have access to a wider spectrum of educational, political and work opportunities, and to enjoy a higher standard of living than women in other parts of the world. http://www.scandinavica.com/cu__ltu...ty/equality.htm THE BANANA REVOLUTION http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote40 WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE http://committed.to/justiceforpeace COMING OUT OF THE JUNGLE http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote1 __________________ "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" -M.L.
