Star Wars and other late night mumblings
The Star Wars circle has been complete. I first saw Star Wars for my 8th birthday (I think) and have followed ever since. I am now complete. I knew love would be the reason for Anakin's turn as soon as he fell for Amidala in I. So, why is the light side associated with no love while it takes the dark side to embrace the passion? Why did the Jedi have to torture a man's natural needs by restricting his own emotions? Embrace elements of both sides and use the powers from each. Whatever.
One final down, 3 to go. XBox 360 coming out Holiday season. Gonna be absolutely incredible machine with computing power more than my present computer. Will replace the DVD player, be a photo viewer, music box, gaming, online marketplace, and a lot more. The games are going to look and do look incredible. E305 really showed some great stuff. PS3 is looking excellent too but I'm an XBox player now after enjoying the great online play and community.
Women produce anywhere form 75-90 percent of the world's world food crops and yet 3/4 of the poorest in the world are women. What's wrong with that picture. Our current age of humanity is filled with patriarchal institutions which oppress women: religion (male lineages, sin from women, etc), capitalism (haves and have nots, and women never get it), and global development/modernization (bringing along with them the patriarchal institutions they come from and spreading to the furthest reaches fo the world. Do you know that while you are sitting cozy in your couch, women are being sexually exploited both voluntarily and involuntarily. Sexual tourism as they call it is the result of capitalistic greed making its way around the world and as economic borders are fading out, sex is still the biggest money maker for countries. Check out these sstats: globally pornography is a $57 billion a year industry!!! $12 billion in the US! http://://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html
That's more than CBS, ABC, and NBC revenues COMBINED !! Men and money drive it...women everywhere accept it and succumb to it. Social divisions will continue to be based on gender and the gaps between the genders will grow. We westerners don't see how bad women have it around the world. Women have always been forgotten or ignored for their contributions to humanity in the past. Much of our ethnographic knowledge originated from male anthropologists, archaeologists, and scientists. Males could never touch the private affairs of the female groups and so were dismissed as mothers or housewives. In fact women may have been responsible for some of the greatest achievements to come from humans. Unfortunately, the more humans advanced, the more women were pounded down. Back ‘in the day’ when humans were hunter/gatherers and more equalitarian, divisions were based on age. As humans evolved women began to invent many things which made life easier for them. The simple sling used to carry a child while foraging evolved into bags, baskets, and other storage containers. Probably following closely with the sling was string and the huge textile advancements which arose from this. Clothes, warmth, protection, the list goes on. Humans began evolving quickly with these advancements. The very beginnings of agriculture may very well have come from the female working around a more sedentary area while man was off hunting.
Really going off mark tonight, too much information in school. Need sleep. Need coffee. Need sleep.
