A huge group of young people posed as protons and ions in a recent flash mob in Moscow metro.
The two groups wore paper hoods with the names of particles written on them. After a brief trip in Metro cars, the proton and ion teams exited at one station and collided on the platform, making a mess on the floor. The political movement Rossiya Molodaya (Young Russia) has claimed to be behind the event, but made no statements concerning its purpose.

The racist implications of free speechAlthough Google refused to remove an image of Michelle Obama depicted as a monkey, the picture has since disappeared. Who has the power to remove such content? And does US devotion to freedom of speech encourage racism? |

Well communicated message with bit of fun. That's what democracy is all about.












Beautifully written but your thesis is based on the assumption that the past was indeed better. There is no way that I know of that proves this conclusion. Your thoughts on going back to the past are ineffectual in achieving the 'change' that is preferred in our society. The logic structures and patterns that existed even 15000 years ago are not as different as the ones that exist today in all human beings. To go back in time means that we would very likely repeat the same mistakes by following the same rationale we had then. It is indeed a fact, by analyzing primitive living cultures in other parts of the world that their 'logic structure and pattern' is identical to ours. The fact that we know more is irrelevant to the overriding reality that we think along the same logic patterns. You presented your case brilliantly but I wonder if your conclusions have been at all challenged if you took my argument into consideration. I do however support an end to monogamy and monotony so long as it doesn't deprive those who choose it to practice it. As for hegemony, it is unsustainable in a world that practices critical thinking and action. Hegemony is only a byproduct of societal apathy after a generation or two of its cultivation.
