CHRISTMAS
I’ve told the kids about Santa’s laid off elves and of the North Pole GM shut down
My bank statement sits on the table, unopened. If there’s any holiday cheer left, it sure won’t be found in there. They say we’re in a recession, but I have no idea who they are or what difference saying it makes. For the past year, I’ve driven less, needed fewer things, rarely ate out and my only vacation involved a weekend at Big Bear. So I’ve known about the so called “recession” long before they detected it and I resent their announcements just as I’m getting ready to spend a bit more. Always a sucker for making the best of the situation, I need to plan, cut a few invisible corners and give this Christmas the needed facelift

DEMOCRACY
متن سخنرانی در فستیوال مدرنیته (میلان)
دمکراسی های غربی، ما ایرانیان سکولار و طرفدار دمکراسی را جدی نمی گیرند. کمک رسانی شان به ما به تاًیید های لفظی و اخلاقی محدود میشود... این رفتار مرددانه اروپائی ها و آمریکائی ها ناشی از چیست که نه فقط از کمک به تلاش هائی که ازطرف جامعه مدنی ایران صورت می گیرد خودداری میکنند بلکه عملا از آن نیروهائی حمایت می کنند که دمکراسی غربی را ماموریتی شیطانی از طرف کافران می دانند. کنکاش برای پیدا کردن جوابی قابل قبول مرا به طرف کتابی سوق داد با عنوان «تاریخ مختصر دمکراسی» به قلم یک استاد ایتالیائی بنام «لوچیانو کانفورا» که در دانشگاه شهر «باری» (در ایتالیا) زبان شناسی و ادبیات (فیلولوژی) تدریس می کند، تدوین شده است. وی در این کتاب تلاش می کند برای رفتار ضد دمکراسی دمکرات های غربی جوابی پیدا کند.

CENSORSHIP
کانون نویسندگان و مبارزه علیه سانسور
آیت الله خمینی بنیانگذارحکومت اسلامی ایران چند ماه پیش از به قدرت رسیدن اش در سخنرانی ای در پاریس (17 و 29 مهرماه 1357) خطاب به رژیم شاه گفت: «... مرتب دم از آزادی می زنند. مردم آزادی قلم دارند؟ آزادی بیان دارند؟ مردم کجا آزادی دارند که ایشان دم از آزادی می زنند... از اساس دمکراسی این است که مردم آزاد باشند... کدام یک از این روزنامه هایی که ما داریم آزاد بوده است؟...." زمستان سال 1357 تعدادی از اعضای کانون به دیدار آیت الله و امامی که وعده " آزادی " داده بود , رفتند تا به قول غلامحسین ساعدی به او بگویند " دایی ما هم هستیم ها", وبرادامه مبارزه درراه آزادی اندیشه , بیان و قلم , ومبارزه با سانسور تاکید کنند. باقر پرهام , که سخنگوی جمع بود می نویسد:

FICTION
"How are we going to forget?"
The war started on the last day of the summer 1980. It changed everything. It destroyed our neighborhoods and brought whoever lived in the lasting ruins closer to each other, but it separated us from the rest of the peaceful world. The change didn't happen slowly. It was abrupt. It occurred on a Tuesday night, in the third week of war at 10:30 PM. At 6:45 the sirens echoed and Tehran went dark. I hid inside my usual shelter, my closet, and my parents found refuge in the bathroom. We waited. The noise of a jet - flying high- turned into a deep powerful rumbling, as if thunderstorms were descending from skies, but before the first eruptions, a long moment of silence fell on the waiting city

STORY
From my bed I have been one of those sailors coming to shore in a new city
There are nights in San Francisco when I wake up in the middle of the night and hear the foghorns out in the bay, and I have lain in bed and felt the beauty of where I live, listening to the different sounds at their different intervals, and the whole idea of a horn sounding over the land and the sea has been one that has made the night and the city feel like my own. It has sounded like a horn that is watching over everyone sleeping, and those who are awake and coming to rest after crossing an ocean, and listening to it purposefully feels like it gives me a little access to all it sees. I have tried to think about places where a horn sounding at night does not carry any of the beauty of a city, places like Baghdad, where those horns carry an ugliness instead
