Bouche-bée

Bien sûr, admet Privet, « les trois Gratton sont des comédies inégales et mal dégrossies ». À l’heure où le Québec s’extasie devant les pirouettes chromées mais insignifiantes d’un Cirque du Soleil désubstantialisé, leur vulgarité choque parce qu’elle « nous renvoie le reflet de nos Tannants et de nos Star Académies, de nos Gratton et de nos Chrétien, de notre confort et de notre indifférence, en somme, du tout et rien identitaire, culturel et esthétique dans lequel baigne un peuple à mi-chemin entre l’éponge et le caméléon, qui ne peut désormais plus se divertir qu’en s’oubliant...

Falardeau en mémoire, Louis Cornellier, 25 septembre 2010

Je crois que c'est le lot des communautés qui n'arrivent pas à s'épanouir, ça fait dur à mesure que leur culture s'amenuise...

Irak, berceau des civilisations

"... no American should be allowed to forget that the nation of Iraq, the society of Iraq, have been destroyed, ruined, a failed state. The Americans, beginning 1991, bombed for 12 years, with one excuse or another; then invaded, then occupied, overthrew the government, killed wantonly, tortured ... the people of that unhappy land have lost everything — their homes, their schools, their electricity, their clean water, their environment, their neighborhoods, their mosques, their archaeology, their jobs, their careers, their professionals, their state-run enterprises, their physical health, their mental health, their health care, their welfare state, their women's rights, their religious tolerance, their safety, their security, their children, their parents, their past, their present, their future, their lives ...

“More than half the population either dead, wounded, traumatized, in prison, internally displaced, or in foreign exile ... The air, soil, water, blood and genes drenched with depleted uranium ... the most awful birth defects ... unexploded cluster bombs lie in wait for children to pick them up ... an army of young Islamic men went to Iraq to fight the American invaders; they left the country more militant, hardened by war, to spread across the Middle East, Europe and Central Asia ... a river of blood runs alongside the Euphrates and Tigris ... through a country that may never be put back together again." The Anti-Empire Report, William Blum, 1er septembre via http://zcommunications.org/znet

précis de

the common technique of apologetics for the crimes for which one shares responsibility. It would not do to deny the crimes outright; that exposes them to view and undermines pretensions of liberal ideals. The first and most crucial principle is therefore to evade our own crimes. Next, vilify the messenger, to ensure that unwanted history is forgotten. And finally, vilify those who dare to refute charges against official enemies, thus preserving the right to posture heroically about their real or alleged crimes without concern for such impediments as fact and uncertainty. Add a few appropriate rhetorical touches and the concoction is ready to serve, a tasty morsel in some circles.
