"Birthers" Fouling OpenGovt Interactive Site | Personal Democracy Forum - 0 views

  • The parties creating controversy and "conspiracy" are Barry and his handlers. Man doesn't hide all his personal records for no reason. Doesn't drop $1 million plus on attorneys to ensure his dirty little secret stays a secret. The little fraud should be exposed. What he's done is unconscionable. He makes James Frey look like Honest Abe. Btw, you sound like a 14 year old girl in the throes of post American Idol heartbreaker hissy fit.
  • "Birthers" by jorji on June 2, 2009 - 12:24pm Micah, Creating a catchy little title ("birthers") for those who have informed themselves enough to understand the difference between a short form birth certificate (certificate of live birth--at the time used also for registering a birth in Hawaii, regardless of whether that birth actually took place in Hawaii) and a long form birth certificate (includes information not available on the short form, such as attending doctor, and hospital where the birth took place), does not make such informed citizens either nuts or conspiracy theorists. Asking for proof of the constitutionally demanded eligability is only good citizenship. Deriding those who care about the constitution does not however, make you a good citizen, Micah. Jorj
  • Birther NUTS trashing town hall by Stingray on June 2, 2009 - 10:21am To Micah Sifry; The site was created for response from the citizens of our country. You are obviously not aware of the importance of the 'Natural Born' issue at question, rather than just being a 'citizen'. To call those American Citizens 'NUTS' because they have a legitimate question regarding that issue in light of everything going on at such a rapid-fire pace is nothing short of blatant prejudice and hatred for those that disagree with you! You, Micah Sifry, are exactly what you are calling others! If you can't stand to be disagreed with, then you just plain don't belong here!

  • While schools and libraries may represent the best sites for overcoming the participation gap, they are often the most limited in their ability to access some of the key platforms -- from Flickr and YouTube to Ning and Wikipedia-- where these new cultural practices are emerging.

  • the debates over "free labor" represent the most visible part of a larger effort of consumers and citizens to reassert some of their rights in the face of web 2.0 companies
  • In his recent book, Dream:Re-Imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy, Stephen Duncombe makes the case for a new model of social change which is playful and utopian, channels what we know as consumers as well as what we know as citizens, and embraces a more widely accessible language for discussing public policy.
  • there is a need for critical theory which asks hard questions of emerging cultural practices
  • There is also a need for critical utopianism which explores the value of emerging models and proposes alternatives to current practices.

    What follows might be described as a partial agenda for media reform from the perspective of participatory culture, one which looks at those factors which block the full achievement of my ideals of a more participatory society.

Anonymity on the Internet: Why the Price May be Too High by David Davenport, Communicat... - 0 views

  •  
    Anonymous communication is seen as the cornerstone of an Internet culture that promotes sharing and free speech and is overtly anti-establishment. Anonymity, so the argument goes, ensures governments cannot spy on citizens and thus guarantees privacy and free speech. The recommendations of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's conference on "Anonymous Communication Policies for the Internet" [1] support this view. Among the findings were that "online anonymous communication is morally neutral" and that "it should be considered a strong human and constitutional right." This view is fundamentally mistaken; by allowing anonymous communication we actually risk an incremental breakdown of the fabric of our society. The price of our freedoms is not, I believe, anonymity, but accountability. Unless individuals and, more importantly, governments can be held accountable, we lose all recourse to the law and hence risk our very freedom. The following sections argue this in more detail and suggest the only real solution is more openness, not less.

These Countries Give Visa on Arrival for Indians - Gossip Ki Galliyan - 0 views

  •  
    We all know the hassles that come with making preparations for a holiday. However, the most difficult thing is getting a visa for the destination we intend to visit. Going for a vacation outside India isn't just about packing your bags or choosing an exotic destination location, it is a rather long drawn affair and there is a lot of planning to do. The most important of them all is the procurement and management of visas to enter the country you plan to visit. To get that to happen, an interview at the respective consulate is imperative and despite hours of documentation, there is always the downright fatal chance of your visa being rejected. In order to solve this dreaded happening situation, how about visiting places that provide on arrival visa for Indian citizens? Sounds good, right? So here are 10 countries that offer visa on arrival for us, Indians:
