Generation X – Turkey

September 17th, 2009

Turkiye’de 1970 oncesi dogumlu herkes Turkiye’nin kayip nesilidir. generation x’dir. Sisteme ve kanuna guvenmeyen, “alip gotururler, geri getirmezler” e inanan, buna gore haraket ederek bunu desteklediklerinin farkinda olmayan, 12 Eylül 1980 ‘den itibaren en az 5 seneyi sikiyonetim denilen “temel hak ve hürriyetlerin kullanılmasını geçici bir süre için sınırlayan” bir zindanda yasamis ve insan ozgurlugunun ustunlugune inanclari bu sebeple suresiz olarak tahrip ya da telef olmus, karar mekanizmalari islevini yitirip sikiyonetim sisteminin, oncesinin, ve sonrasinin silinemez izlerini tasiyan ve modern Turkiye’de yeri olmayacak nesildir.

Ataturkculuk‘un 6 ilkesinden hangisinin “temel hak ve hürriyetler” i destekledigini bularak konuyu daha iyi anlayabiliriz.

September 16th, 2009

Rüyada görülen sarı bir yüz gibi duygusuz,

tenha ufuktan görünürsün sessiz.

yüzünden akan aydınlığın sonsuz hüznü,

her ruha döker bir hıçkırıklı sıla hasreti,

bir sıla hasreti ki, hep geçmişe ait:

Günlerle ölen hatıralar… her şeyi durgun,

Her şeyi gülüşlerle dolu mutlu geçmiş…

Bir an sevilmiÅŸ, unutulmuÅŸ kederli

Rüyalı kadın gözleri… sakin gökler:

Sislerde solan gizli pırıltılar gibi dargın.

Akşamları dökülen hayal renkleri gibi şüpheli,

Suskun yüzünde güzel, belirsiz ve bırakılmış…

the difference between a democracy and a republic

June 19th, 2009

DEMOCRACY from δῆμος (dêmos), "people" and κράτος (krátos), "rule, strength"  / Greek

Invloves the government ruling and making laws for the "greater good" of all people, they may abolish personal rights in doing so.

Democracy is government by and for the people. They may or may not be republics–that is, government limited by constitution or charter.

The tricky part of "democracy" is defining "the people" and then deciding what counts as "by the people" and what counts as "for the people." In a sense, that could be considered the content of democratic practice.

Democracies always self-destruct when the non-productive majority realizes that it can vote itself handouts from the productive minority by electing the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury. To maintain their power, these candidates must adopt an ever-increasing tax and spend policy to satisfy the ever-increasing desires of the majority. As taxes increase, incentive to produce decreases, causing many of the once productive to drop out and join the non-productive. When there are no longer enough producers to fund the legitimate functions of government and the socialist programs, the democracy will collapse, always to be followed by a Dictatorship.

"A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men." Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

 

 

  • A government of the masses.
  • Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
  • Results in mobocracy.
  • Attitude toward property is communistic–negating property rights.
  • Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
  • Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.

 

 

REPUBLIC derived from the Latin phrase res publica which can be translated as "public thing".

A Republic is representative government ruled by law (the Constitution). A democracy is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A Republic recognizes the inalienable rights of individuals while democracies are only concerned with group wants or needs (the public good).

:

  • Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
  • Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
  • A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
  • Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.
  • Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
  • Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.

 

 

United States: The Constitution directly states that the citizens ("We the people") are the foundation of government, and that the government is chosen though democratic elections. Thus, it is a democratic republic.

United Kingdom: is a democracy but not a republic; the government is chosen democratically, but ultimate authority comes from the monarch, not the people.

Canada is not a republic and is a democracy.

China: is a republic but not a democracy. Government authority is stated to be based on the will of the people, but there are no democratic elections.

North Korea is a republic but not a democracy.

Saudi Arabia is neither a republic nor a democracy

soyle birsey yazdim ben aileye dosta yollamak icin (bos vaktim var) daha yollayamadan bugun yeni birseyler daha bulumus:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7580745.stm

“He reigned from 161AD until his death in 180AD.

In addition to his deeds as emperor, Marcus Aurelius is remembered for his writings, and is considered one of the foremost Stoic philosophers.

The partial statue was unearthed in the largest room at Sagalassos’s Roman baths. “

——————————

Burdur Sagalassos/Aglasun’da Arkeoloji
 
Turkiye’nin bugunlerdeki en populer arkeoloji mekani Ephesus, Olympos, Bergama ya da Pergamos degil . Son senelerde Belcikali bir universite grubunun yaptigi kazilar sayesinde Sagalassos/Aglasun, Burdur’da cok verimli bazi kazilar yapilmakta.
 
Hikaye gectigimiz sene bedelli askerlik esnasinda Burdur merkezine 20km uzakliktaki bu Roma sehri kazilarina gitmeye karar vermem ile basliyor. Tanidik askerlerle bindigim araba son anda Alabalik yemeye gitmeye beni ikna edince turu iptal edip alabalik yemege gidiyorum… Benim hikaye burda bitiyor, Hadrian’in ve Sagalassos’unki basliyor.
 
Yaklasik 5 gun sonra dunyanin tum haber ajanslarinda ve bbc.news’in mansetinde soyle bir haber okudum:
Roma Imparatoru Hadrian’in mükemmelce oyulmus dev heykelinin bolumleri guney Turkiye’de bulundu.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6939024.stm

Bulunan yer Burdur, Aglasun tabi. Daha sonra bu dev hikaye (5 metrelik heykel)  beni daimi olarak takip etmeyi birakmadi.
 
Birkac ay once sakalli Hadrian tekrar fotograflar ile haber ajanslarindaydi, Londra British Museum’da Hadrian’a ozel bir “Hadrian:Empire And Conflict” Hadrian: Imparatorluk ve Karmasa isimli bir sergi acilmis, Hadrian’in bu bulunan dev heykeli Burdur’dan Londra’ya transfer olmus ve heykel sanirim muzenin girisinde sergilenmeye basladi:

Sergi Kasim 2008’e kadar devam ediyor:
 
Son olarak gectigimiz hafta bulunan ve yine ana sayfalara oturan baska bir heykel var. Faustina (elder/Ya$li  Faustina olarak geciyor) Roma imparatoru Antoninus Pius’in karisi’na ait:

Sanirim bu son bulunan heykel Hadrian’dan onceki yuzyillardan ve gecen sene bulunanin hemen 5 metre ilerisinde bulunuyor.
 
Hadrian hakkinda sadece heykelin bulunmasindan sonra bir bilgim oldu. Roma imparatoru imis, Roma’lilarin anadolu’da yunanlilari yonettikleri bir zamanda yasiyor, Romalilar o devirde dunya’nin en gelismis ordusuna ve Ingiltere’den Iraga uzanan bir egemenlige sahipler. Hadrian’da Roma tarihinin ilk sakalli imparatoru. Sakal o zamanlarda saygi eksikligi gibi gozuktugu, Yunan kulturu ile bagdastirildigi, genclik temali bir daginikligi temsil ettigi icin Roma elitleri tarafindan asla ragbet gormuyor. Fakat Hadrian ya bilinen Yunan dusunurlere olan merakindan, ya da yuzundeki yaralari saklamak icin sakal birakiyor. Bir de Hadrian’dan sonraki tum Roma imparatorlari sakal birakmaya ve heykellerde sadece boyle yer almaya basliyorlar, fakat tabi cogu Yunan dusunurlere hayran olduklarindan degil….Simdi burdaki sakal uzerinden ilginc metaforlarla bezeli politik mesajlar, yorumlar verilir aslinda; ama konuyu dagitmamak ugruna vermeye yeltenmemeyi uygun buluyorum. Verebilirsek yorumlar’da verelim.
 
Bu sakal olayindan baska Hadrian imparatorluk tarihinin en gezgin lideri. Deniyor ki gezilerine gittiginde ulkeyi kontrol altinda tutabilmek icin gizli bir polis kuvveti kurmus. Hadrian’i okumanin tadina doyum olmuyor, bulunan heykel ise en buyuk heykeli olarak tarihte yerini aliyor.
 
Sagalassos daha sonra dev bir zelzele ile harap oluyor ve terk ediliyor.

Eger Burdur civarinda iseniz son buluntulardan sonra  ”Avrupa’nin En Buyugu” olacagi soylenen
Burdur muzesine mutlaka ugrayin. Turkiye’de gordugum en iyi i$iklandirilmis, en iyi bilgi panolari ile donatilmis muze olmakla birlikte icerisi de Roma koridorlari kadar serin… Hatta ziyaretiniz bittikten sonra bir de muzenin arka bahcesinde depo olarak kullanilan acik park yerini ziyaret edin. On bahcede sergilemeye deger bulunmayan eserlerin tika basa bir halde bu arka ardiye’de sergilenmesi oldukca ilgincti.July 14 - 11·22 - Imgp5038 (Small)
 
Eger ilgilenen arkadaslar olursa grup www.archaeology.org/interactive/sagalassos ve http://www.sagalassos.be/ sitelerinde dolayli e-mail ya da forumlarina yollanan sorulara cevap veriyorlar. Bana denilen su:
 
We thank you for your interest in our work in Sagalassos. Kim is working on the field for the summer.
Until August 23 there are guides available to give a free guided tour, the team will be working untill the end of August. The site can be visited in other periods of the year as well, but, due to its high location and snow fall this might be difficult during the winter months.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

– Isabelle

 
 Ziyaret etmenizi umarim… Alabaliklar da guzel hem gezelim hem onlardan da yiyelim.

Can spent some time recording soundtracks for art films and porno movies (music that was compiled on the album  Soundtracks) before releasing its second proper effort in 1971. The album “Tago Mago” introduced a new vocalist, Damo Suzuki, a twenty-one-year-old Japanese singer whom Liebezeit and Czukay saw busking outside a cafe in Munich. “I saw Damo from far away, and he was screaming and sort of adoring the sun,” Czukay told Bussy and Hall. “I said to Jaki, ‘Here comes our vocalist!’ and Jaki said, ‘No, no, it can’t be true!’” Suzuki was invited to that night’s performance. He began screaming at the audience and cleared the room in record time, thereby assuring his position in the band.
