Perpetual Witch-Hunts

Into the far reaches of modern history. Groups of people have been attacked and labeled witches. Here is a loose time line of these events using the context of witches...

Concerning North America:
1619 - ? African Witches
1692 Salem Witch-Hunts
1935 Jewish Witchcraft
1942 Japanese Witchcraft
1950 Communist Witches
2002 Maher Arar the Syrian Witch
2007 - ? The Muslim Terrorist Crusades

During the Salem Witch hunts people were cited witches for many reasons. Here are two examples. If someone fell ill they blamed the spooky lady who lived under a tree, or sometimes someone with more social power wanted a womans oil... I mean land. I'm getting ahead of myself. They deemed her a witch. (Pointing at you = Witch)

Throughout the U.S. Africans have been seen as witches.
(African = Witch)

In Germany there was the Jewish Holocaust. Many Germans fell for the propaganda of their leader, who proclaimed that Aryans were non witches and that Jews amongst others were.
(Jew = Witch)
Let me see your papers!

During World War II, Japanese Americans were sent to live in Internment camps because they too might use some of their witchcraft though they may have done nothing wrong.
(Japanese = Witch)

McCarthy went around accusing people of being witches or witch sympathizers. Some people were even targetd just for hanging out with someone who McCarthy suspected to be a Witch.
(Russian = Witch)

Maher Arar was flying home to Canada, but was stopped by the inquisitors at JFK airport. They sent him to Syria to be interrogated and tortured. He was asked time and again if he was a witch. But he was not.
(Syrian = Witch)

The governments of Great Britain, Israel, and the United States are now hunting for Muslim Terrorist Witches.
(Muslim = Witch) Especially if you look like one.

The Shock Doctrine (Link)

If history repeated itself would you even notice?
If so. Would you do something to stop it! Or put
flowers in it's hair?

If you don't feel sympathy for any of the people mentioned above
it is probably because (like the people in the first video of this post)
you've come to believe that they are not really human and
made out of wood.

No I.D. means you are a Witch!

School and Home School

Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows: 1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Open Eyes

It's difficult to manage contradictions It's distressing to see data that contradicts your beliefs It takes courage to challenge your assumptions It takes humility to acknowledge your human fallibility, and change your mind. I argue that you've not opened your eyes to the fullest without this. I've found that people run from ambiguity, and that the desire to escape ambiguity is a strong and hidden source for addiction, dogma, and procrastination.

Closed Open Minds

To be open minded means that you entertain all arguments. ALL of them. That's when you realize that many people who told you that they're open minded are actually not, because they'll judge you for listening to an opposing political argument, or for lending an ear to someone from another religion. I think that it's a mistake to think that we can all like each other sometime in the future. That would require a considerable amount of hegemony, and that's the opposite of freedom, that's the opposite of open mindedness. Freedom isn't rainbows and unicorns, freedom is complex and can be dangerous, and scary. In the woods, an armadillo wanders off into the road, and someone else's freedom paved a road, and ran right over it while freely traveling from one city to another. Perhaps, the root of many of our social issues has to do with the inability to sit with discomfort. The way that tribesmen had to sleep, with bears, and lions, or giant ants, and snakes ...
