ما در بیرون ایران سرانجام به آزادی گفتار رسیده ایم ــ آن اندازه از دمکراسی که بیشترمان به عنوان بیگانه و میهمان می توانیم بورزیم ــ و همه چیز از آن آغاز می شود، از حکومت مردم برای مردم تا حقوق بشر. ولی مانند هر فضیلت نویافته می باید آدابش را نیز فراگیریم ــ مکانیسم هائی که سودمندی های نهائی آزادی گفتار را همچون بزرگ ترین سلاح در پیکار با دروغ و ستمگری به بار می آورد.>>>
SAFARNAMEH

In Sarajevo, I walked to the Old Town from my hotel, the Holiday Inn. The bright yellow hotel had been familiar to me from the days of the 1990s inter-ethnic war. “This is where the war began, when snipers from the rooftop shot two deputies in the Parliament building across the street.” I was now so reminded by a designer who sold her fine wool sweaters from a table set up in the dim corridor connecting the hotel lobby to its restaurant.>>>
BOOK

Another in the long line of misunderstandings in their shared history, what caused Xerxes and Darius Adam to vow never to speak again, really began with a misplaced anecdote, specifically an incident that happened many years before in the summer of Xerxes's twelfth year, known always in the Adam household as "the summer when Darius Adam began terrorizing, the neighbors' cats," known privately to Xerxes's future self as "the summer in which I realized something was very wrong with my father, something that would cause us to never have a normal father-son bond-the summer, years later, accidentally triggering the very last straw that would cause us to never communicate again." Ever? "Well, wishful thinking, for starters.">>>

The Sialk Hills civilization had many members. One of these was a man who played the tar and loved his profession very much. This man’s house was located on the western side of the hill. To the right of it was the house of a bearded man. And to the left of his house lived a man who shaved his beard. They were not friends, but they always greeted each other when they met on the street. The tar player had a girlfriend who always reminded him that she was a decent girl. The tar player knew that she was a decent girl, too. That is why he had decided to marry her one of these days>>>
USA

It was disheartening to read Curious Joe’s, "Don’t Immigrate to the US". I have felt sad for him since reading of his regret about immigrating to this country. Like Joe, my mother moved to the United States several years before Iran’s revolution. Perhaps, if there had never been a revolution she would have returned to the country she has always loved first and foremost, but since there was a revolution, we can never know for sure what she might have done. One thing that is for certain is that I have never heard my mother utter a word of regret about her decision to come here, originally as a student, or her decision to remain here and make this country her home>>>
POETRY

When my beloved takes a goblet,
Even the clerics want to rob it.
Crying, I'm at the feet of her.
She only asks, "What shoes should I wear?"
With a fish's mind I dreamt of the sea
So my love might try catching me.

SECULARISM
02-Dec-2007 (5 comments)
اين روزها من به يکی از آرزوهای مختصرم رسيده و توانسته ام، با براه اندازی يک پايگاه اينترنتی به نام «سکولاريسم نو» NewSecularism.com،
مکانی را در جهان مجازی اينترنت بوجود آورم که بتوان در آن هرآنچه را
انديشمندان ما دربارهء سکولاريسم نوشته اند گردآوری کرد، محل رجوعی در اين
مورد خاص بوجود آورد و، بر مبنای تراوشات ذهنی آنان که در راه روشنگری
جامعهء عقب افتاده ما و يا در راستای افزودن بر تاريکی های انديشگی آن قلم
می زنند و سخن می گويند، به بحث و گفتگوئی جدی دربارهء «سکولاريسم» نشست

" چشم مون روشن" را شنیده بودم اما"گوشمون روشن" را اولین بار بود می شنیدم. محمد مختاری اَنسوی خط تلفن بود، حال و احوالی کردیم و بعد ازیاد اَوری خاطراتی دور ، در باره ی سفرش به امریکا و اروپا گپ زدیم.
چند باری دیده بودمش ، در دفتر کانون نویسندگان در خیابان مشتاق، در انتشارات توس و خانه ی یکی از رفقای سازمانی. با سازمان جدا شده از سازمان فدائیان اکثریت که به "۱۶اَذری "ها شناخته می شدیم در زمینه های فرهنگی همکاری ای جانبی داشت.>>>
CHARADE
02-Dec-2007 (7 comments)
Islamists have become good at their own kind of PR. Every once in a while they find something to raise hell over and threaten the world. The charade over Cartoons of Mohammad is still lingering on in the Media, now they have started another bizarre show of offended feelings and indignant masses over a teddy bear called Mohammad in a Sudan’s class room of 7-8 year old kids. The timing of this teddy bear show puzzles me greatly. Is the concurrent teddy bear saga and Annapolis conference merely a coincidence or does the timing tell us something?>>>
WOMEN

We pay out of pocket for trips to other cities. We print the booklets with the $5 membership fees. Nobody asks for compensation for the articles on the website. We hold the workshops in the homes of volunteer women. We also get donations and prayers from women who have lost hope and have put their faith in our work. What would we need 15 million euros for? Our workshops don't need video projectors. To cut down on cost, we do not print nor photocopy our notes and displays; they are handwritten with markers. We have bought a few different colors of markers to make the notes more visually appealing.>>>

برای شروع، پیشنهاد می‌کنم به سبک مارشال مک‌لوهان که می‌گوید «رسانه همان پیام است» بیاییم و این دوگانه‌ها را بشکنیم و ببینم چه اتفاقی می‌افتد: عین همان ذهن است؛ داننده جدا از دانسته نیست؛ محتوا همان فرم است؛ مدرن و سنتی از هم جدا نیستند؛ و باز هم از همه مهم‌تر «تئوری همان عمل است و عمل همان تئوری است.» >>>
NUCLEAR

America and Israel have accused Iran of intending to diversify its program – they allege that Iran is using its civilian program as a cover to build nuclear bombs. This supposition begs the question why Iran would place itself in the spotlight instead of renouncing the energy program for history has shown that having an operating nuclear power reactor is no longer a prerequisite or even a necessary condition of obtaining fissile material which can be used for the development of nuclear materials. South Africa was able to develop five nuclear bombs without having a nuclear energy program. >>>
