Generation X – Turkey
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Turkiye’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.

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…
ahmet haÅŸim – (çıktığın geceler, 1909)
the difference between a democracy and a republic
Friday, June 19th, 2009DEMOCRACY 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

“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.

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,

Chinese food and suicide rate
Monday, December 12th, 2005In a recent discussion in one of the Burning Man mailing lists people were talking about how healthy food brings healthy thoughts into peoples minds. Eating fast food and smoking definetly drains ones energy thus effecting their mood.
China has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. “China’s suicide rate is 2.3 times the world average”
4 people per Minute. 287,000 suicides/year
Sesame oil, used frequently in Chinese kitchen has w6 (omega6) fatty acids.
The prevalence of depression seems to increase continuously since the beginning of the century. Though different factors most probably contribute to this evolution, it has been suggested that it could be related to an evolution of alimentary patterns in the Western world, in which polyunsatured omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish, game and vegetables have been largely replaced by polyunsatured omega w6 fatty acids of cereal oils.
The w3 are present in linseed oil, nuts, soya beans, wheat and cold water fish whereas w6 are present in maize, sunflower and sesame oil. These two classes of fatty acids are said to be essential because they cannot be synthetised by the organism and have to be taken from alimentation.
In addition, two studies found a higher severity of depression when the level of polyunsaturated w3 fatty acids or the ratio w3/w6 was low.
bitter men, bitter tastes, bitter experiences and grapefruit
Monday, December 12th, 2005The olfactory system is designed to recognize a wide range of odors and to discriminate one odor from another — an essential ability if one is to avoid such inappropriate responses as mistaking a mate for a snack. The organization of the olfactory system reflects this need, with each olfactory neuron expressing only one of the 1,000 or so olfactory receptor genes. Taste is a different matter, especially where bitter compounds are concerned. Virtually every naturally occurring toxin tastes bitter,
”so bitterness clearly evolved with the sole purpose of warning you against the ingestion of toxic substances,” says Zuker.
The important thing is to recognize and reject anything bitter, not to get hung up on distinctions among different compounds. Indeed, experimental evidence indicates that humans are unable to discriminate one bitter substance from another.

Too much bitterness can cause dehydration. It can also Increase roughness, emaciation, dryness. Reduces bone marrow & semen. Can cause dizziness & Eventual unconsciousness.

Darwin’s Dilemma
Friday, October 21st, 2005“…Darwin had been invited to be a naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle on its two year survey of South America. The ship was to set sail on 25 September. He immediately accepted the offer, but his father and sisters were totally against the idea. They saw it as a continuation of Darwin’s long line of idle pursuits. Worst of all, such a journey would get in the way of Darwin going into the clergy…”
dude. it was majorly in the way of -going into the clergy.
