It's one thing that Indians have to adopt European political ideals to make it, but it's painful to witness other Indians adopting Euro-brand heterosexism along the way. I guess Evo has forgotten that all of our peoples were originally accepting of what we now call 'two-spirits' prior to invasion. A real disappointment to read those chicken comments, and I was nothing short of embarrassed for him.m.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-31418055846613110332010-04-26T07:48:05.595-07:002010-04-26T07:48:05.595-07:00I think Morales has had a remarkable career and ha...I think Morales has had a remarkable career and has shown a great deal of ingenuity in organizing people and has, as far as I can tell, lived up to his own ideology. But power + a self-image as an iconoclast + incomplete formal education will lead to some crackpot ideas. I mean, I suppose it doesn't really matter politically that he believes hormones in chickens make you gay, but it does make it harder to trust his judgment, which will hurt him when he has legitimate issues like this one.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-82538158764917465192010-04-25T09:29:10.086-07:002010-04-25T09:29:10.086-07:00The Morales quote "I cannot believe that a bl...The Morales quote "I cannot believe that a black president can have so much vengeance with an Indian president" shows him as some sort of racist who is quick to play the race card.<br /><br />The chances that Morales' rule will turn out anything better than disastrous are rather slim. It's hard to think of one leader who has vowed to bring about a socialist transformation who hasn't brought about massive oppression, genocide, and the like. If he bucks that trend it might be a first. But baahing a foreign leader for his skin color is not a good sign.<br /><br />Bash Obama for being a "pandering politician" all you want. But not for his skin color.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-68601989400167303232010-04-24T20:36:34.067-07:002010-04-24T20:36:34.067-07:00If the Armenian GENOcide happened 95 years ago, ma...If the Armenian GENOcide happened 95 years ago, maybe 5 years from now, on its 100th anniversary, will then be officially deemed as a "GENOcide'? <br /><br />As for the query regarding what will Obama do first? From the looks of it, as reported by Rice, I am gonna go with #3. Chances of him signing the Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples is a possibility. About 50-50 chance.<br />Otherwise, Rob is correct, Obama would be just another pondering politician(as most of them are).<br /><br />~GENO[cyde]~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
