Wenn man beim Nachbarn wunderschöne blühende Büsche und Hochstämmchen sieht, wenn man sieht, das diese sogar ihre Farbe verändern, dann ist eines gewiß. Es sind Wandelröschen, die sogenannten Lantana Camara-Hybriden.

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyuSYUGqUTQ" My video on Youtube about the oil spill 2010. Blood, Sweat & Tears in the Gulf-Oil Spill 2010 Oil spill photos set to music. Blood Music (Moody Blues - The Voyage) Sweat Music (The Business of America) Tears Music (Moody Blues - Melancholy Man) A Way of Life Music (Phil Collins - Look Through My Eyes) I selected music relevant to the photos. The video was done in 5 segments. One called Blood, one called Sweat, one called Tears and one called A Way of Life with a finale added to display website organizations to save the coast. I wanted to make a video that relayed what was happening here in the Southern United States--the huge price that was paid-the Blood, the hard work that will go on for a long time-the Sweat, the worry of lost lifestyle, culture and livelihood-the Tears and to give the viewer an idea about A Way of Life that is enjoyed and is special to us with the song (Look Through My Eyes)

All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority. Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.

As the man who oversees about $20 billion of fixed-income investments at American Century Investments, we revisited with Keegan as part of today’s The Game column on the recurring foibles of Wall Street. Deal Journal: You were right back in April. You called it all. Why does Wall Street keep messing up? Jim Keegan: It’s too profitable to stop. It’s too profitable at the individual level, so the individuals interests are not necessarily aligned with the company’s interest. Pay me now and you pay for it later. There is no clawback. Employees can walk away with hundreds and tens of millions of dollars. And someone else will hire them to do it again.

Nor did they anticipate that this quiet man would be able to boost his maverick image by skilfully playing on the public's distrust of the media

  Media distrust: creates a new form of public space. When will Internet distrust follow. And how do we rebuild trust once that cynicism has swept. These are important questions for openDemocracy.

  Yes, they wanted exclusive first right and I gave it them. What you can see in the paper edition but not on the web, it that they put the story at the top of the page on the right hand column. Positioning is much more than half the story in a newspaper. Its layout tells people what to read. Is it the same onthe web?

I am agnostic on the need for a written constitution, because of the power it hands to the judges.

  Benn's remark is rhetoric. Harmann above has thought about the need for mechanisms for ensuring public respect. The issue is a defining one. A wonderful constitution produced from Brown's inside pocket will be scorned as the gimmick of a 'Scot'. A less well worded one that emerges from a South African style process which people feel they 'own' could initiate a democratic process. What matters is not that it is written but how it is written!

It needs to be relevant to the man or woman in the street as a way of restoring trust in politics.

  is the constitution being asked to do too much. the mistrust of politics has many sources; the real powerlessness of national governments over many of the areas they pretend to rule is one. there is a whole process of resetting expectations that a consittuional convention is unlikely to do. in fact, there is the risk that a constitution will raise hopes that _it_ cannot fulfill, and contribute to the mistrust.

evise but not block
- tony curzon price on 10 Jun 07
  
  I wonder what "revise but not block" actually means ... if you can revise a piece of legislation out of all shape, that is tantamount to blocking, no? and once the body is elected, does equal legitimacy not entail equal power?

Trustworthy states can have databases; so how do we make the state trustworthy? maybe exchanging access to our personal information with access to its private information?
