OBSOLETE CHURCHES
Too prominent Catholic churches - St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York - reportedly rejected a sculpture of Jesus the Homeless by Timothy Schmalz - what a shame!
  • Jesus the Homeless. See Lesli Scrivener, "Sculpture of Jesus the Homeless rejected by two prominent churches - Ontario sculptor struggled to find a home for his haunting sculpture of Jesus sleeping on a bench," The Star, 13-Apr-2013.
     
  • Matthew 21:12. "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"
     
  • Christmas. "An ungodly number of people went homeless in Toronto - Canada's financial capital - around Christmas 1995. While temperatures dipped below -20º C, many freewilled beggars had no place to stay but in sleeping bags on sidewalks, - ironically, not too far from automatic banking machines! A few froze to death. Now, let the Nobel Prize winners tell the unemployed, the wandering poor, the homeless hungry beggar about the benefits of the marketplace - and of globalization." [See "Conditions Favorable to General Hostility": The Rich-Poor Income Gap, Personal Debt, Unemployment, and bankruptcies, in World War III Against the Money Trust?, [Toronto, ON: Macroknow Inc., 1998], http://www.brandnewlaw.com/ww3/1-08.htm.]

FREEDOM V. SLAVERY
Article by Rachel L. Swarns and Jodi Kantor in The New York Times:

Michelle Obama is a decendant of a -negro girl Melvinia," a slave valued, as a girl, at $475.

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 worth less than nothing" [emphasis added].

Pride Toronto Parades
  • Pride Toronto Parade 2007, June 24, 2007.
    Note that the big sponsors in 2007 included  banks.
  • Pride Toronto Parade 2010 (30th anniversary), July 4, 2010.
    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."

  • Pride Toronto Parade 2011, July 3, 2011.
    More than a million people participated in the Pride Toronto Parade 2011, July 3, 2011. While for many, pride is equated with entertainment and tourism, it is essentially a political affair (freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of being, equity, etc.); it is also a test of tolerance of "diversity" and of "others."  Many political parties were represented: the Green party, the Liberal party, and the New Democratic Party (NDP). Diversity included "Proud to be Jewish and Queer," Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees (IRQR), and Latino groups.
