Just when you have hope that the world is changing…just when you think the world is progressing and becoming more accepting of all, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni decides to go draconian by approving an anti-gay Bill that was introduced.

While perusing the net, I stumbled upon this article that gives me hope…hope that society’s acceptance of all is still possible….that world citizenship is attainable. But oh…we have a lot of work to do.

Op-Ed In Ugandan Gov’t Newspaper: “Parliament Should Not Pass This Bill”

Jim Burroway

December 11th, 2009

This is not the sort of column one would expect to find in the Ugandan government-owned New Vision. It’s by John Nagenda, a senior advisor to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. After the usual paragraphs to establish his personal disdain for all things gay (this is something of a ritual in Uganda for anyone who is about to say something remotely positive for LGBT people), Nagenda writes:

And that is where same-sex lovers’ haters will do their nut! The recent month I was away a parliamentarian introduced a Bill of hugely draconian measure, including heavy penalties on those who wouldn’t report same-sex lovers they knew about! In the US there was a man whose name, McCarthy, is now a synonym (as mccarthyism) for cruel witch-hunting. For him Communism was the hot issue, although he would doubtless have looked at same-sex love as a product of that political system.

In the Inquisition period, evil prelates tortured people who deviated from current beliefs, including by saying the world was not flat but round! Now we all laugh about these odd characters. Lower down the scale, people were tortured for being left-handed (indeed called sinister for it) or being very short, or being blind: in short for not being normal. I believe, and I am raising the bar, that we must laugh at this MP and others like him: laugh and stay sane. What crime have same-sex lovers committed, per se, by being who they are? Would those who believe God made mankind exclude them, and on what grounds?

Nagenda goes on to talk about the pace of change for LGBT people — his take-it-excruciatingly-slow advice obviously comes from someone who has little understanding of what it’s like to live in such an oppressive society. But he ends on this point:

When times have changed, if they change enough, then these words will include a leavening of same-sex relationships. Gradualism is not a sin. But hunting down people for same-sex love, I believe to be a sin, against Love, one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind. (I say all this without being a homosexual.) Parliament should not pass this Bill.

This follows another possible trial balloon seen floating on the official governmental Ugandan Media Centre web site this week. When New Vision picks up on the same theme, something is likely afoot.

Readers: Let’s hope john Nagenda’s voice is strong, and President Yoweri Museveni listens to his advice.  Like I said, I still have hope. ’Progress’ is a ‘work in progress’.  Comments? If you have anything to say, say it here. Blog me.

Al: I am doing fairly well, thanks for asking. How are you? We watched “Its A Wonderful Life’ last night. One of my favorite Christmas movies. Every time I see it, I am profoundly affected in a different way than the last time. I guess the jewels I discover all depend on where I am in my life at the time I see it.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Gratefully your blog host,

The Public Option died on Thursday. Or did it just resurrect under another name? I’m sure most of you feel as I do: I don’t care what they call health care reform or what title the bill falls under, as long as it covers what’s needed to improve our health care system.

As Arianna Huffington so simply states below, ‘ It’s not the label we give these that matters, it’s the end result: competition and cost reduction.’

If the fight over health care reform has proven anything, it’s just how broken our system has become — from the crippling influence of money on our politics to the way the modern misuse of the filibuster has taken away the power of the duly elected majority and handed it to a handful of bought-and-paid-for senators (yes, I’m talking about you Joe Lieberman).

This disturbing and destructive state of affairs has created a country that is, in the words of Tom Friedman, “only able to produce ‘suboptimal’ responses to its biggest problems.”

And that’s where we find ourselves on health care as we head towards the legislative end game. The big optimal solutions have all been gutted — and we are left to pick through the patchwork of suboptimal ones.

What makes this exercise harder is that the details seem to change form more frequently than the characters in Twilight. At the moment, and while we are waiting for the latest CBO score, “the whole town,” as Mike Allen puts it, “is talking about a proposal that few have seen, and none understand.”

One by one, Congressional leaders who said they would not support a bill without a public option have come to the conclusion that, on second (or third or fourth) thought, they actually will. Leaving aside what this does to the already tattered trust the public has in their representatives, is a progressively watered-down public option preferable to a Medicare expansion combined with a national non-profit insurance plan similar to the one offered to federal employees, regulated by the Office of Personnel Management?

Bernie Sanders, one of the leading advocates of the public option, is now arguing that these proposals combined “may be stronger than the very weak public options that both the House and the Senate have already passed.”

Jacob Hacker, the godfather of the original public option concept, also approves of the proposed expansion of Medicare, calling it an “enormous positive development.”

Of course, expanding Medicare by allowing those 55 to 64 to buy into the program won’t be subsidized for the first three years and therefore may end up being prohibitively expensive, especially if it ends up being an expansion of Medicare not tied to Medicare rates.

Amidst the tea leaf reading and jockeying for political position (at least among Democrats; Republicans are united in their commitment to kill reform) it’s important not to lose track of the things that absolutely have to be included in any health care bill for it to deliver reform in more than name only.

It has to expand access to include as many of the 46 million uninsured Americans as possible. Both the House version and the current incarnation of the Senate bill go a long way to meeting this goal.

It has to create competition and reduce costs. In the end, it doesn’t matter if this is accomplished by creating a government-run non-profit insurance provider (the so-called “public option”) or by adopting a national privately run system that is heavily regulated by the federal government, and allowing those 55 to 64 the “option” of buying into the Medicare program. It’s not the label we give these that matters, it’s the end result: competition and cost reduction. The current bill mandates that most Americans get insurance coverage, creating 30 million new customers for the insurance industry. These new customers have to have options — especially less expensive options — or this will be a massive windfall for insurance companies.

The best way to provide more choices for consumers is through the latest incarnation of Sen. Ron Wyden’s Free Choice Act, which he is offering as an amendment to the health care bill. The provision would give employees the ability to choose their own insurance plans within the insurance exchange — instead of having to accept the plan chosen by their employer, as is the case in the bill Harry Reid brought to the floor of the Senate.

To qualify as real reform, the bill also needs to give Congress the ability to negotiate with the drug companies over Medicare prescription drug prices. The White House cut a deal with PhRMA taking away this ability to negotiate. That agreement is still part of the Senate bill but not part of the House bill — and should not survive the conference process.

And, knowing how quickly things can get slipped into bills, or carved out of bills, in the dark of night, we have to ensure that the positive elements of the current bill don’t suddenly vanish — especially the provisions that keep insurance companies from denying people coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions or dropping customers when they actually become sick.

If the final bill contains all these elements, it will be a suboptimal solution worth supporting.

Then we can move on to the business of fixing our broken system, so we can get back to being a country able to produce optimal responses to our biggest problems.

I found this article on the Huff the other day while perusing the net. The title:

Iranian Protesters should be Time Magazine’s “Persons Of The Year 2009″

It almost happened on Friday, June 12, 2009. At some point, and some point soon, we will see a separation of mosque and state in Iran. The mix of state and religion in modern Iran provides the Islamic Republic with the pretext for the most violent forms of political suppression in the name of religion. What is happening in Iran today is in the context of crimes against humanity.

We all recall the horrifying atrocities and political unrest that broke out after incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election-many thousands took part in peaceful protests and demonstrations across the country, condemning both the process and outcome of the election-only to be confronted by the Basij militiamen.

If an innocent girl is shot halfway across the world, does she make a sound? Yes, and the whole world hears her. The devastating and cataclysmic murder of Neda Agha-Soltan (1982-2009) is referred to by many as the face of the Freedom Movement and a powerful symbol of opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Neda died on Saturday, June 20, 2009 from a single gunshot wound to the chest. Her final moments were captured on a cell phone which shows her walking near an anti-government demonstration. The faces of the crowd rarely have come into focus. But the portrait of one woman, modestly covered with a headscarf tells us more than a crowd trying to avoid tear gas. “It’s heartbreaking,” President Obama said, referring to the video of the woman the world has come to know simply as Neda, which means “divine calling” in Farsi. “And I think anyone who sees it knows there’s something fundamentally unjust about it.”

Human rights activists took action around the world in solidarity with people of Iran, to demonstrate international solidarity with those whose human rights are being abused. Peaceful public demonstrations were held in more than 105 cities, including Barcelona, Beirut, Caracas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Dakar, Istanbul, London, Montevideo, Ouagadougou, Prague and Santiago. The freedom fighters called for the protection of freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and freedom of the press, as guaranteed by the Iranian Constitution and Iran’s obligations under international human rights covenants, the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of conscience, including journalists, students and civil society activists, an end to state-sponsored violence and accountability for crimes committed by state officials, and the immediate initiation of a UN investigation into the grave and systematic human rights violations which have taken place.

The events that unfolded in Iran following the contested presidential election have transfixed the world. Much of the information that came out of (and into) the country traveled over social media services as a result of censorship and blocking of communications systems by the government.

The crisis in Iran has allowed Twitter, the microblogging service, to mature into a legitimate and important communication tool. Twitter has played such a prominent role in allowing mobilization and documentation of the Iranian opposition that the US State Department at one point even asked the company to put off a scheduled maintenance so that Iranians could continue using the service. Pete Cashmore, CEO and founder of Mashable.com, even posted an article: HOW TO: Track Iran Election with Twitter and Social Media. Through the use of social media to broadcast messages and images to the world, we all witnessed protesters being beaten and arrested. It was hard footage to watch because these were not violent crowds. The violence is all on the other side. It’s like watching a movie that we know will end badly. These people, young, middle aged, and old, are voting with their bodies. They, in the true sense of the expression, put themselves on the line.

The question that always surfaces around this time of year is: who should be Time Magazine’s Person of the Year? This is being discussed in offices, schools and homes around the world. And it all happens the week before Christmas. TIME is polling its readers and currently leading all candidates are the Iran Protesters. The courage these women and men have demonstrated is worthy of our shock and awe.

Readers: I am so pleased that the Iranian protesters are being recognized and are amongst those considered to be named “Time Magazine’s “Person(s) Of The Year 2009″, and one that I personally feel is valid. Obviously others do too as the Iranian protesters are ranked number one, right above our president, and I will add, ‘with quite the lead’. :) Agree? Disagree? Who will you vote to be “Person(s) Of The Year 2009″? Blog us your vote. It’s Friday – Flap your lips if you’re able. It’s awfully quite in blogsville.

Peacin’ out….

I woke up this morning to two e-mails, about two women, that made me smile.

One, informing me that today is Human Rights Day. On the one hand, I’m delighted that there is a day that recognizes and honors human rights. And on the other hand, I wish for a world where human rights didn’t need a day to be recognized, a world where human rights wasn’t an issue, because we honored the rights of humans, all humans, daily without question.

But unfortunately, in this present day, there are many humans in this world who fight for their rights, and thankfully there are people who stand up for them. One woman is Hillary Clinton.

When then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton told the world in 1995 that “women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights,” she sent a message of hope and aspiration that continues to resonate today, from kitchen tables in American cities to small villages in countries around the globe.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has continued her strong commitment to human rights and women’s rights. In the last year, she has appointed the first ever Ambassador for Global Women’s Issues, chaired the first UN Security Council sessionon violence against women, and offered significant medical help and protection for rape victims in the Congo.

To read more about Hillary’s work around the world click here

Here at NoLimits.org, we’re proud of Hillary’s leadership as Secretary of State: working to rebuild our global alliances and serving as a strong voice for human rights. Our progressive agenda includes supporting these new directions in foreign policy, and also focuses on economic and work-family issues here at home, including the need for health care reform and new initiatives to combat the too-high rate of unemployment. We are advocates for an America engaged and active, domestically and internationally, supporting policies that truly reflect our values.

“I hope you believe, as I do, that foreign policy matters“, Hillary said at our policy conference last month, “[and] that what we’re doing can be explained and understood by the small business owner in Colorado or the homemaker in California…because it is important to our society and it’s important to who we are as a nation, what we stand for in pursuit of our interests and in accordance with our values. I believe that…but we have to make the case to the rest of our country as well.“

Thank you Hillary!

The second e-mail, and the other woman, is Barbara Boxer. I am so impressed with her lately. She nailed it Monday night when she confronted those behind the proposed Nelson Amendment. If anyone’s got a pair, she does.

Monday, during the opening rounds of debate on Sen. Ben Nelson’s (D-Neb.) proposed amendment to prohibit any federal funding of abortion, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) hit “the men who have brought us this” where it hurts.

Boxer likened a measure in the Nelson Amendment that would force women to purchase special abortion riders to a theoretical yet unimaginable measure — requiring men to purchase a special rider for a Viagra prescription.

I love that Barbara hit ‘em were it hurts. How does it feel boys?

But last night she really brought it home for women.

Last night, the Stupak Amendment was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 54-45 — and I know that you will be proud to hear that Senator Barbara Boxer was there on the Senate floor, working to defend women’s health until the last vote was counted.

Once again, Barbara stood up for us. She offered the motion to defeat this amendment and fought to pass it. And she won.

Inserting the anti-choice Stupak Amendment into the Senate’s health care reform bill would have been one of the biggest setbacks for women’s health in decades.

It would have upset a very difficult and delicate compromise that has held firm for decades: Women can use their own private funds for legal reproductive health care procedures, but federal funds cannot be used for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother.

Fortunately, Barbara Boxer — along with more than 85,000 Boxer supporters — were there to stand up, speak out, and defeat this dangerous measure.

Thank you Barbara! You can bet I’ll be fighting to keep Barbara in office come the 2010 election.

Readers: I hope this write left you smiling too.

Peace & Love: “Gotta live it, gotta give it!”

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Health care reform is thankfully still on the table, and it is a crucial time that we continue to give our support in any way that we can. The big insurance company lobbyists are still fighting big and will continue to do so with a vengeance- we need the ammunition to fight back.

I realize that asking for a contribution is tough on many of you. I join you in that arena. But I still need to ask, as we are so close. And as our president said in an e-mail that I received yesterday: “We will not back down.”

Michelle –

As we head into the final stretch on health reform, big insurance company lobbyists and their partisan allies hope that their relentless attacks and millions of dollars can intimidate us into accepting the status quo.

So I have a message for them, from all of us: Not this time. We have come too far. We will not turn back. We will not back down.

But do not doubt — the opponents of reform will not rest. So I need you, the members of Organizing for America, to fight alongside me.

We must continue to build out our campaign — to spread the facts on the air and on the ground, and to bring in more volunteers and train them to join the fight. I urgently need your help to keep Organizing for America’s 50-state movement for reform going strong.

Can you donate $25 or whatever you can afford today?

Let’s win this together,

President Barack Obama

Readers: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “If we all just give a buck or two, we can make a difference.” Can you spare a few bucks for the health and well-being of America? You can always count on me to give my ‘two’. :) Thanks again.

Peter: Thanks to you and Anna, if any of my readers were not aware that Guam is a part of the U.S., they are now. I appreciate and admire your dedication to your island, not to mention the very interesting and enlightening historical lessons. Keep ‘em coming. Hafa Adai.

Ruth and Trudy: Both of your articles were so interesting and informative –  Thanks for posting. Ruth, did you have a nice visit with Evelyn? How are things with you? And the girls?

Eham: I have tried to find information but not much has been written in regards to the student rallies. So I am lead to believe that those in power have been successful in portraying your movement as you have mentioned. Good luck in your endeavor in bringing your message to the people.

Al: Thank you.

Peace out
