Living With "Uncertainty"

From The "Time" Of My "Birth" ..
"Unbeknownst" To "Many" ..
I Have "Always" Struggled ..
With "Much" Uncertainty ..
Never "Satisfied" With "Plain" Explanations ..
Knowing The "Great" Depth of "All" Things ..
"Always" Wondering "Whether" I Know "Enough" ..

I HAD a dream

There was still plenty of abgoosht and vodka left when Martin Luther King’s ghost crashed our party a couple of nights ago. His holiday wasn’t until today, but he showed up early because he overheard our debate about US-Iran relations. The subject: does criticism of Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, Falluja, Blackwater, and the Patriot Act somehow excuse or legitimize human rights violations of the Islamic Republic? After all, if it is legal in America to torture in the name of national security, why pick on Iran for doing the same thing?>>>

Women vs. God

In 1936, Reza Shah ordered the public unveiling of women in Iran. The clergy vigorously protested; women of the mercantile middle class stayed home, refusing to appear „naked” in public. Lower middle class and rural women began to work outside the home, most of them in small textile shops.

Any benefits relating to housing or childcare which they receive are given not to them but to their husbands. Their working conditions are harsh, with long hours, low pay and inadequate maternity provisions>>>

Don't worry (too much)

As far as I am concerned, the so called stimulus package, proposed by the Bush administration, is nothing more than a too-little-too-late remedy. It may not have the intended effects envisioned by the administration. As you know, the disposable income is not the only determinant of consumer spending, albeit a key factor. For consumers to spend more money, especially on the big-ticket items, their expectations must also be favorable. Without optimistic expectations, the full increase in consumer spending, following the tax rebate, is only a wishful thinking>>>
