Beef, It Holds What Holds For Dinner

: ogdenthomastz68; November 15th, 19:47

I 've indited much about abortion on this blog. Simply hunt `` abortion '' in my hunt box on the right column and you will encounter I am jollily staunchly pro-life, which is apparently what is going more popular in U.S.A. according to this study
But here are some of my fearfulnesses for the pro-life motility in America.

1. When Roe V Wade is overturned, the pro-life move will beckon the flag of triumph and essentially halt praying, halt speaking about it and travel happen another issue to advance. Meanwhile, babes will still be aborted in backalleysand in belowground clinics.

2. We will hold a major acceptance job on our mitt because the big bulk of pro-life people fight this job in one fashion.
They either merely pray, or secondly, essay and get legislation forced to do it illegal. Now while those are both unbelievably important, we should hold aholisticapproach to this issue.

3. We take to prophesy the importance of espousal in churches
to dispute trusters to take inwards fry, otherwise we will abandon many unwanted kids and many of them will finish up in problem, while Christians simply sit fat and happy before of their level screen Telecasting 's with2.5 nippers.

Wellness attention reform, disregarding if you think the 80s

: ogdenthomastz68; November 4th, 10:51

This morn I was believing about wellness aid reform, and the blatant resistance to that in the signifier of people, many armed

, presenting upwards to interrupt town hallway meetings on the theme. I conceived about those who would tell it Holds not wise for artists to publically show an persuasion about this issue, because they could risk alienating aggregator or others who may bear some powerfulness over them. So I travelled back to conceiving about those fearful, ramp people who are so afraid that supplying wellness tending for the over 50 million uninsured people therein state is someway attending contravene upon their ain freedoms, especially their right to transport arms. Who are these people who detest suchly? Oh yeah. They 're the same people who detest homoes and anyone of color ( especially in the Ellipse Office ). They are the same people who desire to wrest the right of procreative pick from women, and who are mistrustful of artists and anybody who makes n't suit into their mold.

Americans for the Arts

holds joined with 20 national humanities organisation to release a statement turning Congress for wellness attention reform, and `` to fullly acknowledge the rights of single artists and humanities groupings in the wellness tending reform argumentation. '' I desire to exert those rights.

So, when I got dressed this forenoon, I forced from deeply in my drawer a Jersey I got after locomoting on the AIDS walk many ages ago. It was formed with words and an image by the late artist David Wojnarowicz

, who was one of the hosts of gifted people the art community lost excessively early because people brook a bedded upward system for overly long. I drew on my Jersey and got on the crowded underground for the long drive downtown. On my dorsum, his words scorched through a not so distant sweep of clip:

"If I had a dollar to spend for healthcare I'd rather spend it on a baby or innocent person with some defect or illness not of their own responsibility; not some person with AIDS..." says the healthcare official on national television and this is in the middle of an hour long video of people dying on camera because they can't afford the limited drugs available that might extend their livesand I can't even remember what his official looked like because I reached in through the T.V. screen and ripped his face in halfand I was diagnosed with AIDS recently and this was after the last few years of losing count of the friends and neighbors who have been dying slow and vicious and unnecessary deaths because fags and dykes and junkies are expendable in this country"If you want to stop AIDS shoot the queers" says the governor of texas on the radio and his press secretary later claims that the governor was only joking and didn't know the microphone was turned on and besides they didn't think it would hurt his chances for re-election anywaysand I wake up every morning in this killing machine called america and I'm carrying this rage like a blood filled egg and there's a thin line between the inside and the outside a thin line between thought and action and that line is simply made up of blood and muscle and bone and I'm waking up more and more from daydreams of tipping amazonian blowdarts in "infected blood" and spitting them at the exposed necklines of certain politicians or government healthcare officials or those thinly disguised walking swastikas that wear religious garments over their murderous intentions or those rabid strangers parading against AIDS clinics in the nightly news suburbsthere's a thin line a very thin line between the inside and the outside and I've been looking all my life at the signs surrounding us in the media or on peoples lips; the religious types outside st. patricks cathedral shouting to men and women in the gay parade: "You won't be here next year-you'll get AIDS and die ha ha"and the areas of the u.s.a. where it is possible to murder a man and when brought to trial one only has to say that the victim was a queer and that he tried to touch you and the courts will set you freeand the difficulties that a bunch of republican senators have in albany with supporting an anti-violence bill that includes 'sexual orientation' as a category of crime victimsthere's a thin line a very thin line and as each t-cell disappears from my body it's replaced by ten pounds of pressure ten pounds of rage and I focus that rage into non-violent resistance but that focus is starting to slip my hands are beginning to move independent of self-restraint and the egg is starting to crackamerica seems to understand and accept murder as a self defense against those who would murder other people and its been murder on a daily basis for eight count them eight [nine, ten...] long years and we're expected to quietly and politely make house in this windstorm of murderbut I say there's certain politicians that had better increase their security forces and there's religious leaders and heathcare officials that had better get bigger dogs and higher fences and more complex security alarms for their homes and queer-bashers better start doing their work from inside howitzer tanks because the thin line between the inside and the outside is beginning to erode and at the moment I'm a thirty seven foot tall one thousand one hundred and seventy-two pound man inside this six foot frameand all I can feel is the pressureall I can feel is the pressure and the need for release.

I took more a second to recollect all those who were moved like Wojnarowicz and Keith Haring, and innumerous others who were willing to Act Up

to salvage lives. It Holds not but about AIDS now, nor was it so, really. Conceive about it.

Tomorrow I will should raise another ancient Jersey, one colour with an image by the late Keith Haring

, and bearing the ever-so-relevant words: IGNORANCE=FEAR, SILENCE=DEATH

at The Drawing Center

in 1992, deadly before his decease. ]

Since I 'm cognisant I hold n't posted here for a long spell and hold clip on my manuses tardily at nighttime here Holds the interview that was dealt with me over at Thomas Ligotti online. It was ne'er posted over there ( altogether my error ) but just in case there Holds anything remotely of involvement comprised therein, here it is:

1 ) How maked you firstly meet the work of Thomas Ligotti?

It was in the late 80s, in an issue of Crypt of Cthulhu. The tale was `` Vastarien ''. Suddenly after its appearance the Ligotti special issue of Dagon mag came out here in England and I got a fan.

2 ) What are some of your favorite plants by Mr. Ligotti?

There are many, but, off the top of my caput, I 'd name my three favorite as `` The Cottage House '', `` The Shadow, the Dark '' and `` The Glasses in the Drawer ''.

I wish to read any literate uncanny fiction out there. The listing of writers I admire in that field is immense. Yet, I am not attending call them bushed instance I inadvertently leave individual worthwhile forth and do them offensive.

4 ) Is your ain inditing regimes lazy or trained?

I 'd much instead read than compose. Authorship is a bloody task and, when maked properly, is really difficult work. My regimes is one of lassitude punctuated with uninterrupted endeavour.

5 ) Has success prodded you in directions you 'd instead avoid?

I make n't believe I 've attained much in the fashion of success. So no. For equally long I 've been at it, I 've selected to pen what I desire to compose.

No, I detest telecasting. I 'll watch a football ( soccer ) lucifer or a late-night pic if it Holds aired; otherwise the video is but there as an adjunct to the Videodisc participant.

10 ) What nutrients make you bask eating?

Mexican, Indian, and traditional English Sun joint accompanied by existent ale.

11 ) Make you hold any uneven sidelines or amassing fetishes?

I accumulate books by Arthur Machen, but not necessarily first editions.

12 ) What recreational activities make you bask?

Watching DVDs and reading equally widely as possible. Except for the tidings, which, as one gets older, appears suspiciously to reiterate itself, belike because people are unlettered of history.

13 ) Life?

God is noting.

14 ) Expiry?

Is n't the terminal.

15 ) Work?

Make I should?

My Spanish is flagitious.

FOR MOST PEOPLE, seaweed is merely unpleasant ooze that gets in the style of a blast. It Holds the material everyone attempts to avoid when swimming at the coast, or that gets tangled in fishermen 's lines and deposited on the undersurfaces of boats.

But the Nipponese, naturally, love to eat it.

And now, the Okinawans are beginning to see it-as goodly as other aquatic plantsas a marine bioresource.

The grapes of the sea

To turn all that gunk into merchandises that are good for the user and profitable for the consumer, the Okinawa
regime, through the Okinawa Prefectural Fisheries and Ocean Research facility, holds been working for the past three ages with the University of Tokyo
, the University of the Ryukyus
, and bioventures and wellness nutrient companies in the private sector to develop the marine bioresource industry. They 're besides working to launch better control of rational holding, principally through the Okinawa Engineering Licensing Organisation, to assure that research effects and benefits flux to local endeavours. The Ministry of Didactics is kicking in 100 million hankering ( about $ America1.026 million ) to aid with the try, and the prefectural regime is adding another 41 million hankering to the pot.

One labor they 're working on is the cultivation and publicity of supposed dark-green caviare ( Caulerpa lentillifera
), or sea grape, as it is cognized in Nipponese. Usually happened on flaxen or mucky davy jones's locker in shallow protected countries, it is dine in salads and all rather other dishes, as you can see from this link
They 're likewise canvas slipways to hold hygiene in the production of the works as a nutrient point, the creation of secondary wares utilise the works ( such as shampoo ), methods for increasing output, and the development of a fertiliser specifically for the works.

Attempt to envisage the fertiliser bringing mechanism for a works that turns on the sea bed!

Another labor is an scrutiny of the efficaciousness of fucoidan
, a substance nowadays in such popular Nipponese seaweed potpourris as hijiki
kombu
, and wakame
, and which some consider holds possible for cancer intervention. In the same mode that many local authoritieses in Japan are making with other wares, the Okinawans are seeking to hike its value by making a regional marque.

Still one more undertaking is the development of a kit for the simple and speedy sensing of ciguatera toxins, which are encountered in some subtropic fish.

One man ' seconds meat is another man 's toxicant, some tell, but Okinawa is desiring that some people 's slime turns into a treasure for all the island-dwellers!
