Edward Ayoub, Mind Hat Editor: We need
to put this NYT finding in its proper context. For this, consider this quote
from Montesquieu:
"Sir William Petty, in his calculations, supposes that a man in England is worth what he
would sell for at Algiers [sixty pounds sterling]. This can be true
only with respect to England. There are countries where a man is worth
nothing; there are others where he is worthless
than nothing" [emphasis added].
Over a million people participated in the Pride Toronto Parade
2010 (30th anniversary), July 4, 2010. While
for many, pride is equated with
tourism, it is essentially political (freedom of expression,
freedom of speech, freedom of being, equity, etc.). There was
a strong pro-Israel, pro-Zionism contingent in Pride 2010. But
the pro-Palestine, anti-Zionism, anti-apartheid contingent had
the definite edge. The contingent included Queers Against
Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA), which were initially banned, and
Not in Our Name (NION), "Jewish voices opposing Zionism."
Liberals, the Green party, and the New Democratic Party (NDP),
all had floats.
Not In Our Name (NION),
"Jewish voices opposing Zionism":
"Our Only Course of Action:
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions."

GLOBAL CRISES
Humanity faces a multiplicity of global crises – all having the
same cause: A rule of law that is rooted in
archaic and Ptolemaic philosophies.
Capitalism – the freedom to create, own, and trade
assets – has lost its compass. It has been transformed into
debt-based capitalism – into what the first lawgivers called "usury."
And "usury," most people will tell you, has
