Short film by Dutch movie maker Theo van Gogh in association with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The film deals with the oppression of women in many Muslim countries. Van Gogh was killed by a Muslim fanatic in 2004 because of the film.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali is planning the second part of the film. 

“Submission” is the translation of the Arabic word “Islam”.

been awhile, hey?  been busy!  doing… a buncha nothing!  sorta finished reading harry potter’s last book and OMG, that was awesome :D talk about your twists and turns, i was cryin’ at the end :o i’m not quite the harry potter fanatic that i used to be, but i still enjoy the books regardless!

next up on my reading list: the clash of civilizations and the remaking of the world order by samuel p huntington.  i’m told everyone should read this book, and ... i’m everyone!  or… something like that :|

finally finished the baby afghan i was working on and i’ll get a picture of that as soon as i decide what to put with it.  lil stuffed aminal or something similar, i’m thinking.  in the meantime, using up the skeins of purple that i had to make yet ~another~ afghan.  i expect that will be a gift tho

watched ”a history of disbelief” and ”the god delusion” today.  have to say, i’m wanting to read dawkin’s book, the god delusion, now.  it was really an excellent program. 

hrm, other news?  i have pink hair!!!  the photos came out crappy, but my camera batteries died :( no.  i did NOT break the camera >:| ok… maybe :(

other’n afghans and reading and watchin’ movies, i needa get busy and get my craft room sorted out and some errands run and apply for a couple more jobs.  we’ll see how that goes :o ~wish me luck~

so far, i’m really enjoying it, tho i’ve enjoyed every book i’ve read by kurt vonnegut.  the same dark wit that i’ve always enjoyed, but there’s a sadness to it: knowing this is his last book, it reads almost like a deathbed confession—a message he felt the need to impart before it was too late.  reminds me of how i felt when reading douglas adams’ the salmon of doubt.  ~last book ever~ from one of my favorite authors. 

one of my favorite passages:

how do humanists feel about jesus?  i say of jesus, as all humanists do, “if what he said is good, and so much of it is absolutely beautiful, what does it matter if he was god or not?”

but if christ hadn’t delivered the sermon on the mount, with its message of mercy and pity, i wouldn’t want to be a human being.

i’d just as soon be a rattlesnake.

people have asked me about my belief in god and i really have no answer.  it’s something i’ve yet to decide upon for myself.  until that time, and probably even beyond, vonnegut’s answer is probably the best.
