Hi Josef: My pleasure. Sorry to hear you are no longer on your beloved Guam. I hope that where ever you are you are able to visit Guam and your family there.

Bob: Touché. Good observation.

Madaline: In the spirit of the ladies discussion, well and simply said Maddy. Thanks for the update on the little aliens.

Jorge and Careta: Your relationship is beautiful and rare indeed.  You are blessed to have found each other and I wish you both continued happiness and mutual trust.

Konduz: What struck me the most from your comments, was your statements:

“But I assure you we are not white women. If we could affect a change in our situation via the vote. We would not do as white women in American do.”

“We would NOT quietly give our lives over to the our men. We would vote our interest. We would vote to give women at least equal representation on any counsel that decided the fate of our nation.”

“No Senate or Congressional or Presidential body would be exclusive or mostly male.”

How frustrated you and others must be with the way white women act when we have such freedoms here. How stupid we must look and are to those that don’t have the freedoms that we take for granted every day. How you can even respect us as women I don’t even know. What I do know is that what you say of how you would be, should you ever lead the privileged life that we lead, is true. How I wish that opportunity for you and all of the other women.

Women in general can be and are highly intelligent and amazing and it disturbs me so, that you and so many others are being held back from showing us all your true gifts…from being able to contribute to the fullest extent in your lives. Oh how the world is missing out.

When I look at the way women are subservient in both cultures, Western and the Middle Eastern, it is obvious that there are differences between the two. Western women are psychologically subservient, and women from the Middle East are thrown into subserviency through brutality.

Both use religion to force women into subserviency and subjugate them.  The difference between the two cultures is how religion does it: In one you’ll go to hell, and in the other we’ll send you to hell. No need to tell you which one is which. The point being is that both are equally effective.

If you ask me, the more successful is subserviency that is used in the West. Behind closed doors it works and continues to work. That is proven by looking at the state of our country presently. When a woman is in a voting booth and she votes for men, even when knowing men are dogging her, and treating her less than an equal. Now that is control.

To control a woman psychologically, means you control her mind. And in my opinion,  control of her mind is a more successful way to control than having control over her physically…with the mind free and thinking, if even only being able to express thoughts and desires and plans to her women friends surreptitiously. This is not to say that the physical abuse that happens daily to women is not a terrible atrocity. We all know that it is.

The Middle Eastern women know when they are being abused. Women who are abused by physical force know it – there is never a question. Some white women aren’t even aware of the abuse when it is psychological. Your statement, “Perhaps when the OTWs of America have won true equality they will drag white women kicking and screaming into total freedom with them”, tells a future reality and keeps playing over and over in my mind. How true that statement is.

In the Middle east, in my opinion, if it were not for the sheer strength and brutality of their men, the women there would rule. The men know this. They know the only power they have is the power of the hand. They know that their women support their women – that the sex sticks together. And should they ever be freed from the slavery that they endure daily, women would take over.  They would support their women, as men in all cultures do. It will be a day of celebration and inspiration that I hope I will be able to witness.

When will white women learn this and be this way for each other?

Konduz, Shir Khan, Tarin Kowt, Nawzad: I am truly inspired by your strength and envious of your dedication and loyalty to the women in your life and country. How I hope it spreads like an infectious disease to the white women of the western world. I have more to say about the western women, but I will reserve it for another time.

I’m out of time…

Two important topics I want to talk about this morning.

The first being Health care. It seems the public option has a chance of being reinserted back into health care reform. Thanks to a letter sent from progressive House freshmen Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), a new movement to put the public option back on the table is in motion. And if Democrats can get the votes and move through the chamber under majority-only rules, I’d say we, and the public option, could possibly be sitting pretty.

So what does that mean exactly? Well, we need at least 51 votes:

Because of the rules surrounding budget reconciliation, the process that would allow health care reform to move through with 51 votes, any Senator may bring up an amendment to the package. An opponent of the amendment will then likely make a point of order and argue that the amendment violates the “Byrd Rule” and is out of order. If the parliamentarian sustains the point of order, the amendment would need 60 votes to pass. But if he deems that it complies with the rules of reconciliation — that it has a substantial effect on the budget and is germane to the legislation — then the amendment passes with a majority vote.

Chris Bowers, who has been counting votes based on public responses and private correspondence, counts at least 45 votes for a public option. Democrats would need to find five more, with Vice President Joe Biden breaking the tie.

Readers: If you want to read the rest of the related article click here. This isn’t over, so don’t get excited and start thinking this is a done deal. As always we have our work cut out for us. Here’s a request from our President:

In just the last 3 days, OFA volunteers like you have pledged an incredible 4,000,000 (and counting!) hours to supportmembers of Congress and candidates who fight for real health reform.

We can prove to Congress that health reform is good policy and good politics, but we need to go as big as possible. So today we’re setting a new goal: 5 million hours pledged.

If we hit it, the country will know. We’ll be running an ad with the final tally in USA Today the nation’s largest newspaper. And to make sure your voice is heard where it matters most, we’ll run radio ads in critical states and districts, featuring local voters announcing the pledge total from their area.

Your hours will make a huge difference wherever you live, and there’s many different ways to get involved. Can you help us hit 5 million hours by pledging today?

http://my.barackobama.com/YouFight

How many hours a week will you give to help get reform passed? I pledged 2 hours per week. Can you do the same? Again,  all of us just need to give a little bit of our time to make a few phone calls, write a few letters, talk to a few people, and spread the word expressing our thoughts on how important it is for health care reform to pass. We all need good health care, and the people who really need, the people whose life depends on it NOW, will be so grateful of your time and effort. Thanks!

************

The second topic on my mind is the Human Rights Film Festival happing here in San Francisco. It’s free, open to the public and starts tonight.  I’ve listed the films that are going to be shown today, and they look so interesting. I can’t go tonight, but I am hoping to make it this weekend. Will you join me?

2010 HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL AT USF

February 18, 19, 20

Presentation Theater

Free & Open to the General Public

Thursday 2/18

1:00 PM
Opening Remarks
USF Students’ Shorts

Skinny, Sexy, Synthetic, 7 min, Directors: Meghan Raab and Daniela Ricci-Tam
The film explores how unrealistic media representations affect women’s body image and self esteem. In response, About-Face, a local non-profit, teaches women and girls to understand harmful media messages and resist sexist advertisements.

Generación, 11 min., Director: Kate Elston
Thousands of children in Lima, Peru live on the streets where they are victims of violence, police brutality, sexual exploitation and trafficking. Generación is an organization that supports the kids and gets them into homes where they are free to learn, play, and work. Visit www.notforsalecampaign.org to learn more and donate.

Ugandan Days, A Video Journal, 50 min., Director: Erika Myszynski
Initially created to document USF’s Erasmus Community students’ travels to Uganda, Ugandan Days, A Video Journal became more than just an immersion, observation and social analysis of the Ugandan people. In researching child soldiery in war-torn Gulu (northern Uganda), many of us had been surprised to witness a world quite different from what we had read. Instead, we found a peaceful and progressive nation. The video reveals a people little scarred by their past struggles and Joseph Kony’s 23-year long war against order. The video journal exposes how the war victims’ underlying pains are transformed into a humbling determination to improve the current situation. A message from Ugandans to Americans: Africa is not such a dark place. It is a place filled with strength, community, resilience, and joy because of an undying hope to forgive and to survive.

2:30PM
TAPESTRIES OF HOPE, 2009, USA, 76 min. Dir. Michealene Cristini Risley
* Presented by the President’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women
Tapestries of Hope, explores filmmaker and child rights advocate Michealene Cristini Risley’s sojourn to Zimbabwe to document the work of Betty Makoni and the Girl Child Network. The film exposes an issue that continues to be ignored: the rape and sexual abuse of thousands of young girls in Zimbabwe, by men who believe their actions will cure them of HIV/AIDS.

4:15 PM
ASK NOT, 2008, 73min. USA, Dir. Johnny Symons

* Presented by the USF LGBT Caucus

Ask Not is a rare and compelling documentary film that explores the effects of the US military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gay and lesbian soldiers and service members. The award-winning film exposes the tangled political battles that led to the discriminatory law and examines the societal shifts that have occurred since its passage in 1993. Current and veteran gay soldiers reveal how “don’t ask, don’t tell” affects them during their tours of duty, as they struggle to maintain a double life, uncertain of whom they can trust. The film also explores how gay veterans and youth organizers are turning to forms of personal activism to overturn the policy. From a national speaking tour of conservative universities to protests at military recruitment offices, these public events question how the U.S. military can claim to represent democracy and freedom while denying one segment of the population the right to serve.

6:00 PM
CRUDE, 2009,101 min., Ecuador/UK/USA, Dir. Joe Berlinger

* A selection from the Human Rights Watch Traveling Film Festival
** Presented by Environmental Studies
Three years in the making, this riveting new documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother’s Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) tells the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet. An inside look at the infamous $27 billion “Amazon Chernobyl” case, Crude is a real-life, high stakes legal drama involving global politics, the environmental movement, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, multinational corporate power, and the fate of disappearing indigenous cultures. Subverting the conventions of advocacy filmmaking, this award-winning film explores a complex situation from all angles, bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus. Film Website: http://www.crudethemovie.com

If you would like to see what films are being shown over the weekend, click here for the full list. If you don’t live in the Bay Area, this showing is part of the Human Rights Watch Traveling Film Festival, so this or something like this may be coming to your area. Check out the website for any details.

Jack: If it isn’t obvious that I am very comfortable with ‘that boy’ in the White House, then I am clearly not articulating myself well here. And I know that it not true. And yes white men did make this country what it is today and I say that not with pride. You however, have made it very clear that you are a racist only concerned with retaining and receiving the many benefits that you are privileged to receive strictly by being a white man.  Your lack of tolerance is only exceeded by your lack of humility.

Speaking of flapping lips, I mean c’mon, I write about discrimination against women yesterday, and hardly anyone pays attention to the write, (except from you Shirley…oh and ZL too :) but I get kudos for the new photo. Not that I mind too much. Everyone loves being appreciated – moi included.

So speaking of appreciation…

Mike: Thanks too for the compliment but more importantly, I will give credit where credit it due and say, whether it matters or not, that you seem to be one of the men on this planet, in the category ‘a few others’ that I mentioned the other day in my write, where credit is due. I appreciate your persistency in trying to post. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be privy to as much of the happenings of the ‘right’ as you provide daily.  So, thank you.

Doug, aka: The Main Dude, yeah..he’s another one that gets put in that category. He knows it. But as I said above, ‘Everyone loves being appreciated.’

Oh the topic for today yes…here it is:

Edesa: My post is about Iran today, because your comment yesterday weighed heavy on me, just as it does anytime when I read a comment such as yours. I am aware of what is going on in Iran. I have read the latest. Since I am not sure whether our media will pick it up, I am going to post what I have found.

I wish you safety and power in your pursuit, and hope that the internet will open and be a much needed tool of communication for you and the others again. I was informed of the new plan. You are in good hands. Sometimes, things have to get worse before they can get better. I know that is not easy to hear, for me as well, but know that I am with you in spirit and strength.

Iran crushes opposition protests with violence

Feb 11, 2010 - A Street Journalist

Readers: Anything to add here?  Comments? blog me.

Lacy: I love using spices when I cook…the emphasis is on the word ‘when’ :), and I have heard wonders about black pepper. Thanks for your post.

Sonja: Thanks for your post. I don’t have great eyesight,  but I don’t do much about it. This article has opened my eyes to learning more. I know bad joke but I couldn’t help it. I hope you will always see well.

Anna: The video – not sure which video you are talking about and I didn’t see it come up when I did a search on Youtube. But if you give me the url I’d be happy to post it for you tomorrow.

Melissa: Thank you. You are too cute – And, yes I have been loved by many women. You can take that as you wish :) And Erica, you are correct – thanks for confirming Anon, ( Were you with me the other night at Harry’s?) my photo is hanging on Harry’s wall. Harry has asked me if I want to give him a new one considering the one hanging was taken quite some time ago, but I so love that photo. It is with my first dog, my beloved Bianca – so I keep it there in honor of her.

Alen: If you go there so often maybe next time peruse the wall with all of the photos – you’ll see it.

Oscar: I assure I am no cyborg, but I have to tell you, I love the line(s). Much better than the one left on my car :) So, no offense taken at all.

And the light.. Ah yes, well…the light…I like to think that I am the creative life force incarnate….light radiating all around me….sending and receiving. Yeah I like that.

Calvin: I love to dance and if you had asked I am sure I would’ve said yes. I never turn down anyone as long as the music moves me.

Don: I have a few things to say in regards to your comment to Kaylani. But I will refrain and let Kaylani be the first to say something.

Lowe: It was posted a few days ago but it is always a good to be reminded.

Evelyn:  ’Sweet little morsel’ – I love that especially coming from a woman. Again, love the relationship you have with your mom (Hi Ruth). Love that she is so open (be with whomever makes you happy), and evidently so are you. So is there someone special in your life? Hmm? :)

Lucky you, you get to meet Anonz. I’m ‘psyched’ for you too. :)

Ah….England…what part do you live, if you don’t mind me asking. London? In the Country? I love London although it has been quite some time since I have been there and I know it has changed so much. I would love to go back sometime. Perhaps you and I will meet someday and we’ll rendezvous with Ruth too. Now that would make me psyched.

I am so moved by the courage that women have in this world. And touched that any influence or inspiration that I offer is helping. I am honored. I know it is huge for the hijab to be removed.

Got to run – Love back to you Evelyn!  And to all of my readers too….It’s Friday – Start Flapping those lips. Blog me.

Oh and Kelvin: So you want to meet for a dance and a photo? That’s not too much to ask. You’ll pay for my friends? Sweet. And my husband too? Nice. Ah…You must know I am married.  And you must know that it is Valentine’s Day on Sunday, and I will be with Doug.  So you won’t mind if I brought him along. Thanks Kelvin…but I will have to pass. Perhaps on Valentine’s Day you will find your Valentine. :)

Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog.

Just a play on words, because in reality, any woman can’t jump….in the 2010 Winter Olympics that is. Women are not allowed to ski jump. Why? Well simply, because they’re women.

The record for the normal ski jumping hill at the site of the Winter Olympics this year is held by Lindsey Van, a woman. She is considered the best woman ski jumper in the world but Van won’t be competing in a few weeks.  The three ski jumping events in the Winter Olympics are strictly for men only. They are being totally excluded and many organizations just sweep the issue under the rug. Just another reminder in our daily lives that women are discriminated against.

Van runs a group of American women jumpers that fly higher and longer than any other team, yet they can’t jump in the one competition that matters the most to them: The Olympics. But the girls continue to do what they love, by competing in what they can,  in spite of a lack of resources.  While the boys stay in nice hotels, the girls are thrown  in barns with leaky roofs and no hot water, no heat.  Just another reminder in our daily lives that women are considered second class.

‘In 2009  the International Ski Federation made history by hosting a world championship for Women’s ski jumping. Van became the first American, male or female, ever to win gold in the event.’

But before this was ever even possible, it was quite the challenge. Before the Ski Federation voted to host the event, the president of the organization questioned whether is was healthy for women to jump.  “It’s like jumping down from two meters on the ground about a thousand times a year, which seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view’. Oh give me a break. Now all of a sudden, men are so concerned about women’s health when women’s health is so disregarded when it comes to our care? Just another reminder in our daily lives that men continually try to  control and hold women down in life.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

And to all you men out there who are thinking, “Michelle is such a man hater!” Not true. I will give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately there isn’t much due out there that I have seen lately aside from Obama, and a few others.

I do love men – some men. I just hate the way many men treat women. I just want women to have the same rights and opportunities that men have every day. Is that so wrong? Is that too much to ask for? Wouldn’t men be a little pissy if the roles were reversed?

If women don’t fight for the very basic simple things in life…if men continue to chip away at what little rights we have….women will just continually be pushed and pushed by men, as far back as the stone age.

This story isn’t about the quick in-your-face physical abuse of women, women struggling just to stay alive, like so many of the stories I write about. No this story is a slow death from emotional abuse…one that eats away at a woman’s personal drive. Both are challenging, and by no means am I saying that they are equally challenging. My point being, is that it is amazing how much abuse, at any level, women endure and they still come out fighting and standing strong.

We have to. Men, some men….they will take us back as far as they can – we know this by now.

Good morning….I am writing extremely late so who knows when I’ll post. It happens. Blame it on the GNO last night at The Starlight Room.  It’s been awhile, actually too long, since I’ve gone out with the girls, so it was  much needed, and so much fun. What went on in your world last night?

Anyway, while I am tapping the keyboard, unless, a topic sweeps my mind that I am dying to write about, all you’re going to get from me this morning, is a few hellos and responses.

Juanita: I am still laughing at your list from the other day. Last night with the girls the calculator wasn’t pulled out but we certainly weren’t tossing twenties on the table either. besides the other ‘truths,  the friendship among men/women was priceless.

Wilma: Thanks for you article on prostate cancer. I found it very interesting. I am also very grateful that we are able to purchase, grassfed beef straight from the cow, so to speak knowing that it is high in Omega-3. I hope the guys out there read your post. And FYI: You don’t have to be rolling in the big bucks to purchase good meat. In my opinion, eating less meat and better quality ie: Organic and/or grassfed, is better for you and the environment. Thanks too Shawn for your input.

Al: I’m laughing…not sure why but keep it coming. You know you have an audience waiting for more.  On and by the way, send pics of those teenage times :)

Grace: Thank you for your kind, supportive words. Nice to hear from the other side, not to mention the better half :) And Grace it goes without saying that you take a little credit for Glen being a good man. There’s probably not a woman out there with a good man that doesn’t deserve some of the credit, if not more.

And I have to say, I agree with you too, in regards to the ‘advances by married men and those toward married men.’ I don’t go there. Never will. I know…’never say never’. But that is one area, where the word ‘never’ feels totally comfortable. I don’t care if the man’s woman is a raging lunatic, she’s a woman, a sister, and I just don’t do that. Plus I’m married, so hey, what more is there to say?

But back to you, I am delighted that you have your sculpted man – another credit goes to you for inspiring him to take care of himself. And I’m happy that you’re going to add a few back on to please your man. The benefits for both of you, will be worth the extra pounds, I’m sure. Oh…the delight and fun you’ll both be having eating your way back to a bod that both of you can appreciate. And then Glen will be dying to get back to the beach and have you crawling all over him –  Enjoy each other – I hope last night was beginning of a new beginning. I just love your story – thanks for writing in and sharing.

Anna: Were you out dancing on a GNO too? Do you love to go out and dance as much as I do?

Mike: Your entries are not going unnoticed.  I hope that my readers are tuning in too.

Changez: I am glad that I could help. I know you were in the best hands possible for your escape out of Pakistan. I am also aware of Faatin’s arrival in Guam – she will be taken care of there as well.

Jameela – 2: I can not help but respond to your write to Faatin. When I read about your personal life and the lives of so many women…and then the story that you posted,  I can feel the anger arise in me. I too want a dull blade…I too have an imagination…I too want slow deaths for those that can so easily dish it out, but we know will cry for mercy when soil is choked down their gasping throats. Be strong Jameela – your time will come.

Readers: That’s all I’ve got today. You have more to say? Blog me.

Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my ‘loyal’(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.

Peace out.

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle
