yes, i also think this is the point. More, we never know as community how guilty the society is of what some one does. We dont understand that well the human mind to say some ones action is not raised in what society do to some one. It'll may be that we will find out we are all guilty. If there is some one to be guilty.

Reporters without Borders

I was giving a look on this "Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents" and then i read the posts from people of germany, Bahrain and USA.
I first was just trying to have an idea of if the handbook really was as good as it as told, if it really have information needed to scape from opression. I havent yet answer that, but my reading was very interesting.
That as how i get to Jay Rosen, and searching for him in the net, found this talk with Dan Gillmor. I liked the first line from Rosen when he tells how Ted Koppel prepares his interviews.

"Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents

"Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary people to speak up, they’re tremendous tools of freedom of expression."

“Now I can write what I think”

"Jay Rosen
"PressThink

"When I started asking around about how to do a weblog, I got many kinds of answers. The one piece of advice everyone gave was : you must write in short posts. That’s the style, some said. That’s what works, said others. And, most suspicious of all, that’s what busy, Web-cruising readers expect. They don’t have time for your long and thoughtful analysis, I was told. By everyone."

Can You Handle the Truth?

hi, my first time here and it could be the last, who knows, so if my contribution seams
interesting to a reply, please forward it to my blog post, thanks.

and now my contribution to your discution:
i've read recently a book of ken wilber and i think he as some interesting points there. He claims we have to look from three points of view to get near the truth. One of this points is the easiest, its the out side of what you are looking, for that you just have to take a good look.

The other two you have to go inside and you have to ask and you have to choose the right context so you can interpret the answers you get. This are two points because you have to do this for th e subject and for the group where he is. I am talking as if about a person, but you can do this for everything.

this post of mine is a reply to this link:

Truth...is it true that if the truth is not true, it is false? IS there just true and false in this world? There must be more mustn''t there? There must be a not-fully-true or not-fully-false position...so if i can''t handle the truth, then i must be able to handle the not-fully-truth or the not-fully-falsehood...

So i have a better question: What do u think of this statement: "ugliness is in the eye of the beholder"...

The truth is always true..thats what makes it the truth. It is constant, unchanging, unmoving, infinate and perfect. It is indeed true that we live in a world full of shades of grey rather then black or white, but is there not a constant inner struggle to achieve that ultimate truth? Most if not all religions think so. If you were to achieve it...could u handle it?

That was some neat first year philosophy stuff - I have the textbook from 1992 IF YOU''D LIKE TO RE-READ IT!!! There is no evidence to support the idea of an objective reality/truth so we just have to do the best we can at understanding the perspectives that are offered to us. At least this way we can have a momentary glimpse of the "truth" as another sees it and maybe, for an instant, participate in the truth they perceive. Maybe we will have the chance to share ours while understanding our perceived reality is equally nebulous. Truth exists in listening with acceptance to the experience of another and entering into that experience with compassion and respect.

take your language, select an image and then don't leave without moving to the right to see the all image, my favorite is "China Mansion".

I must say that the artist looks very near the chinese ideas in the power as i understand it, so have some open mind. Its interesting also to read the information in the site about his work, writen by him.

this was my idea, executed by a friend. I imagine it may not be a new one, it could even be that i saw it on the pass and forget it.
