About me
Years ago, I was silly and young enough to think the term Global Diversity meant people.

I learned that corporations have a different idea.

I still believe that Global diversity should celebrate the fact that we are all from the same place--mother earth , yet we are all different --
When we learn to embrace the differences without fear, we will be free.

Same but different. Celebrate the differences.

I am a Diversity Advocate, a fear fighter.
I hope for a more sensible and tolerant society. I believe it is stronger and braver and harder to live for peace than fight in a war.

I believe that to question authority and debate issues shows a love for true democracy.

Fear is ignorance.
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks is a great digest, a reflection of the changing world around us.

I use Clipmarks as a sketchbook of the world around me. I see something that interests me, and I clip it and quickly jot down my thoughts, however raw and unpolished they may be, my gut feelings... for later.

Clipmarks feels like internet photography because I have a snapshot of what was important to me at the time and what I might have felt about it.

I have learned a bit and I have been challenged and encouraged by the clips and clippers.

Visiting here is a great way to sum up the day/week.
I like the sense of immediacy, the change of content, and the community.

I also like the fact that you can integrate clipmarks into blogs and other web applications.

I also appreciate the opinions of others and the opportunity to immediately engage with clippers on the issues. I also enjoy the encouragement of fellow clippers and the respectful nature of most clippers when opinions collide.

CAUTION:: Clipmarks is very, very, very addictive.

Lessons from a rapper to Iraq
NonStatQuo
by NonStatQuo  4-11-2008   
 I was listening to an internet radio neosoulcafe.com (which, by the way, internet radio is under threat). And I heard a song called "my block" by Tupac Shakur. While I was fairly familar with Tupac, I had a peep over on wikipedia and found this. Tupac was a clever and angry young man. His album Thug Life was kind of a clever acronym of sorts.... For some reason, it reminded me of the faces of the children I have seen in Iraq photos. The victims of war. And I am reminded of what we do, what we have done, may not be over when we pull the troops out from those countries we have invaded. A long stretch from thug rapper to iraq? maybe? maybe not.

 I am glad that the media keeps reminding us that Tibet and China are still an issue. I think we should vote with our wallets and not support China or the Olympics in China.

 Negative campaigning, and baiting, here we come. We got just a taste of it when Team Billary spent Black History Month making well crafted cagey remarks. That was just the appetizer, here is the main course. Now they've put the muzzle on half the team and have amped up the hate rhetoric, taking a leaf out of the Republican handbook on how to win elections and influence people. F-E-A-R. I wonder if Obama remembers whitewater and learns how to use it in a sentence.

Bjork's cry for Tibet!
NonStatQuo
by NonStatQuo  3-4-2008    1
 While Bjork may not be to everyone's taste, you cannot fault her for following her own heart and soul. Her squawking style has always been unique. Here, she steps out even further by thumbing her nose at the oppressive chinese media and brings our attention to the struggles in Tibet in her own inimitable way.

Do you care? Loss of Civil Liberties since 9/11
NonStatQuo
by NonStatQuo  2-12-2008    4
 From website :: This is the History Commons project for the loss of US civil liberties under the current administration, and before. We are currently focusing on several topics, including the expansion of executive power (the “unitary executive”), the NSA’s domestic surveillance program, the use of “national security letters” to force information … It will take more than 200 years to get them back.

The Children of Iraq ... look what we have done to them and what for?
NonStatQuo
by NonStatQuo  2-8-2008    3
 How can even the most ardent conservative supporter of the war in iraq look at these photos and not take umbrage with that we are doing there. I would put the disclaimer that the photos towards the end of this piece are very gruesome, but we should see them so we have no illusions about what we are doing to these people. Saddam Hussein may have been an evil dictator, but when you see these photos, it is easy to see how we have replaced him tooth and nail in evil doing. We have successfully replaced regime for regime and these children are next in line to repay us for our suffering. It is a shame we have stripped so many beautiful children of their innocence and are sowing the seeds of hatred for their future. If you don't believe me, take the time to actually study the photos here, and think if this was happening on your own soil, how you would feel. Your resentment and anger would be theirs.
