Promesses d’@mour

Ouah, le feu de la passion virtuelle a pogné dans l'e-mail! 

Coup de cœur de @Twittakine

Je triche... un tweet proustien (plus de 140 caractères!) hyper réaliste et drôle : 

e-love vows

If you will be my cyber-sweetie
I will be your constant tweetie.
You, my faithful Facebook friend,
Ours, a virtual love without end.

We will chat and have a quickie,
(no need to fear a leak from Wiki)
no exchange of body fluids
no ecstatic dancing Druids

Its safe and wholly antiseptic
Nothing carnal, just electric.

Au sujet de la mort :
Build Your Ship of Death: For the Longest Journey Over Endless Seas
… Nowhere do we see this paradigm of illness so clearly as in the mythology that surrounds our most highly – cathected disease – cancer. Cancer: the enemy, the dark, insidious, irrational thing strikes its victims without warning or rationale. It is a metaphor for the evil that attacks the innocent. The deaths that we most focus on are those in which we feel ourselves to be victims of something. Increasingly, we are a society where there is a rush to victimization, where illness, and especially catastrophic terminal illness, is thought of as something that happens to a person – a cancer victim, a victim of a stroke, etc. 
   Ivan Illich has argued in Medical Nemesis that modern medicine has disempowered us to deal with our own suffering and dying. As experts take over the management of our bodies in every crisis from borning to dying, and redefine moral conducts such as addiction or greed as diseases, we are reduced to being passive consumers of professional body tenders. Increasingly our medical system infantilizes patients. How obediently we tolerate the authoritarian atmosphere of doctors’ offices and hospitals! We wait patiently and submit to procedures we do not understand because the experts assure us they are necessary. … 

Au sujet de la dette de carbone :
Whose Carbon Debt?
… We demand the right to consume at any cost to the environment. We hate the pushers but love the drug. …

Au sujet de la violence :
Appeal of Violence
  Can a peaceful world generate the common commitment communal enthusiasm and ecstasy of war?
  How do we domesticate and transform our secret love of violence, our destructive and sadistic impulses, our need for power?
  Can loyalty to the earth household and commonwealth of all sentient beings ever replace patriotism?
  What sacrifices would we have to make to create a more peaceful world?
  How do we deal with those who commit crimes against humanity?
