Social Networking sites are to typical internet sites what You are to I. They are an opportunity to find not just information, but living human beings -- repositors of information, and oftentimes, geese. By that I mean you find geese with golden eggs...not just golden eggs, which, of course, are fine, but I wouldn't want to eat one, at least not with my mouth, and since my mom always told me to keep my fingers out of my nostrils, I doubt a gold egg would fit there very comfortably either.

John proves his ability and willingness to reach out, every day, and his superiority on the social networking sites, blogging and such, proves that he is what we need leading us today.

When George W. Bush refuses to speak with Ahmedinajad (I'm guessing at the spelling)...he, according to Martin Buber, is rendering a potential "You" into a an "It". He and She equal It. You can't say You to a he or she or it.

By removing his enemy from the world of relationship, and keeping him in the world of experience, experienced as separate from...he can then kill him, bomb his people (by extension) and so on.

Palestinian political scientist Leila Farsakh, trained at Cambridge University and the University of London and currently an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, has an article in this month's issue of Le Monde Diplomatique headlined "Israel-Palestine: Time for a bi-national state".

While Farsakh has demonstrated a clear pro-Palestinian bias in her past work, the article is useful for her historical review of the one-state solution and for her cites to recent literature that has readopted it.
