@PopCultureInstitute No, the fere market does not lead to monopolies. What
a ridiculous suggestion considering the largest monopolies in the world are
governments and that all monopolies in history have become so by state
grants or by the customers choice (which doesn't make it a problem).
There's nothing tyrannical about letting people trade and make their own
decisions. I find it absurd how completely retarded people are about the
very meaning of a free market. It's free voluntary trade.
Makes sense. Caring about and preserving the past is a luxury of the rich.
Give a poor people access to some of those riches and they'll recognize
what they have. The only problem is that not all history is eco-tourist
friendly. When you incentivize everything, you get efficiency but lose
breadth. I'm sure something will get lost this way.
@Visfen Ya. That's why the public should sell their water to Corps, and
then we can sell them the atmosphere. And then the oceans, oops, we already
let them loot the oceans, the oceans are now dead. Let's bring back
property rights over people, then their Master's can take care of their
Health Insurance.
@geezzerboy Sell? They are buying it now from a monopoly. The problems with
the oceans is that nobody is owning them. Read about the elephants and what
solved that crisis. You're the one taking the bid from your master, the
free market is voluntary, the government rules by force.
@crowdeg It's the same thing. They gain ownership of the site, ergo if it
has any value then interest will be spurred in maintaining it. When you say
"once the people saw the site as an asset" you're basically making the
argument for me.

From Carol P. Christ's essay: Why Women Need the Goddess
At the close of Ntosake Shange's stupendously successful Broadway play "for
colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf," a tall
beautiful black woman rises from despair to cry out, "I found God in myself
and I loved her fiercely." Her discovery is echoed by women around the
country who meet spontaneously in small groups on full moons, solstices,
and equinoxes to celebrate the Goddess as symbol of life and death powers
and waxing and waning energies in the universe and in themselves....
What are the political and psychological effects of this fierce new love of
the divine in themselves for women whose spiritual experience has been
focused by the male God of Judaism and Christianity? Is the spiritual
dimension of feminism a passing diversion, an escape from difficult but
necessary political work? Or does the emergence of the symbol of Goddess
among women have significant political and psychological ramifications for
the feminist movement?
To answer this question, we must first understand the importance of
religious symbols and rituals in human life and consider the effect of male
symbolism of God on women. According to anthropologist Clifford Geertz,
religious symbols shape a cultural ethos, defining the deepest values of a
society and the persons in it. "Religion," Geertz writes, " is a system of
symbols which act to produce powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods
and motivations"4 in the people of a given culture. A "mood" for Geertz is
a psychological attitude such as awe, trust, and respect, while a
"motivation" is the social and political trajectory created by a mood that
transforms mythos into ethos, symbol system into social and political
reality. Symbols have both psychological and political effects, because
they create their inner conditions (deep-seated attitudes and feelings)
that lead people to feel comfortable with or to accept social and political
arrangements that correspond to the symbol system.
Because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many
people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.
Even people who no longer "believe in God" or participate in the
institutional structure of patriarchal religion still may not be free of
the power of the symbolism of God the Father. A symbol's effect does not
depend on rational assent, for a symbol also functions on levels of the
psyche other than the rational. Religion fulfills deep psychic needs by
providing symbols and rituals that enable people to cope with crisis
situations in human life (death, evil, suffering) and to pass through
life's important transitions (birth, sexuality, death). Even people who
consider themselves completely secularized will often find themselves
sitting in a church or synagogue when a friend or relative gets married or
when a parent or friend has died. The symbols associated with these
important rituals cannot fail to affect the deep or unconscious structures
of the mind of even a person who has rejected these symbolisms on a
conscious level especially if a person is under stress. The reason for the
continuing effects of religious symbols is that the mind abhors a vacuum.
Symbol systems cannot simply be rejected; they must be replaced. Where
there is no replacement, the mind will revert to familiar structures at
times of crisis, bafflement, or defeat...
Ancient civilizations enjoyed peace and harmony before the advent of
patriarchy. The archaeological record speaks volumes. "We can live
differently."

Who were the Israelites? When did they emerge? How did Judaism evolve and where does the Jewish national identity (and land claims) comes from? All this ...
This guy is so terrified of Ryan Dawson, how about you hold a debate. He
will do it, let's see you truly defend your statments. I highly doubt you
would, but I would love to see him educate you on Israel.
+Immanual Ratesh Do not want to argue the case too strongly as I really loathed the man. However it is commonly accepted that you retain the nationality of your parents even if born in another country. Dual citizenship may apply of course.
+Emeric Hitter No Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa (Yaser Arafat) was born in Egypt his father was from Gaza. His clan, the al-Husseini is also from Gaza. He was however raised in Egypt.
THERE IS SUCH THINGS AS A PALESTINE NATION THEY ARE NOT A NATION THEY CAME FROM AZLL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST TO FIND WORK THEY ARE A BCOLLECTION OF ALL TYPES OF ARABS BUT NOT PALESTINIANS EVEN ARAFAT WAS NOT PALESTINIAN BUT EGYPTIAN..
