Wounded Worlds

Aite, so as Tarzan attempts to transition back into this internet-infestation of the "real" world, I must emphasize the fact that myself has not appeared within my possessions and it is somewhat difficult to blog my thought without direction and/or supervision. I am looking forward to a new dawning each day, but it seems as though just about every one of these body-cages make me sick. even if I think we could live together, time tells a different story. clearly. fin

Most recent progress has brought all senses of conscious self-hood and liveliness to the street corners of

Kid Cudi even calls out the Smog subtly in this video... nice.

this is a different music video than the original, and its shortened, but its the one that airs on TV and just after like 2 minutes he enters a bar called the "Smog Cutter" but it doesnt really cut through the smog. just a place and a means for people to forget. its a solid video, my favorite of the song, despite the fact that the song gets cut short.

Firefighter Racism.... seriously? Lou Dobbs?

Ok, so I was just channel surfing or whatever while workin on my paper and saw "RACIAL DISCRIMINATION" on lou dobbs tonight... never watched him before really, but thus far, its raising some important questions. the firefighters' lawyer claims that the large numbers of people in almost all government institutions, firefighters, police men, teachers, etc. across the nation in large cities are being discriminated upon because of their race- because they are white. 20 white men are involved in the lawsuit, and Title IV is being used by both sides, different interpretations. heres some interesting quotes i found from an article online:

http://www.firerescue1.com/labor-issues/articles/482889-Supreme-Court-prepares-for-firefighter-racial-case/

"Besides affecting how race can be considered in filling government and perhaps even private jobs, the dispute also addresses broader questions about racial progress: Do minorities and women still need legal protection from discrimination, or do the monumental civil rights laws that created a more equal nation now cause more harm than good?"

"But after the results came back, the city says it found evidence that the tests were potentially flawed. Sources of bias included that the written section measured memorization rather than actual skills needed for the jobs; giving too much weight to the written section; and lack of testing for leadership in emergency conditions, according to a brief filed by officers of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology."

"It is not white racism that plays the deciding role in the success of minorities any more," says Edward Blum, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute who believes that race should not be considered in employment decisions. That was the case in the '60s and '70s and maybe even part of the '80s," he says. "But it is no longer the case in the 21st century that because you are black you are being held back from achieving what your parents and your ambitions will allow you to achieve. I think that has been crystallized with the election of President Obama."

(ohhhh.... i get it! we have a black president now, racism hasnt existed since the 80's, what the hell are we all talkin about??)

I must have missed when this originally hit the media, because the lawsuit has been going on for a while now, but I think that last quote and some of the stuff that I just heard out of the mouth of the lawyer of the defendents that were racially discriminated because of affirmative action-like ideals, is just frustrating. the website breaks down some of the percentages of the people that qualify for promotion
