Hi Craig I said that:
".. the real Value (interest) for the dialogue in ANY assertion lies in what is NOT asserted." Some people here try to discuss or define in vain what is in the hole, i e "how it could be better". > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAfCQ-t7xY0 Many threads here are circulating like this song around and around. Henry doesn't seem to want to be responsible for the surrounding conditions. In that way he constantly search and find reasons to not being free to act. A human being is represented in all four levels. 1 We are a lump of atoms and molecules and you can not blame a person because of the behaviour of his chemical constitution. 2 We are also a lump of biological structures, like cells and DNA. No one can be plead guilty for his biological structure like the color of his hair, skin or eyes. Nor if one is born as woman or as a man. 3 All of us also belong to some kind of social structure. Still you can't sue someone because of his language, religion or supporting the ice hockey team of St .Petersburg. 4 Justice is always about free and conscíous individual choices. This is at the intellectual level. Many juridical cases are based upon wether or not the accused ought to understand the rightness of making certain choices. An entrepreneur for example is supposed to understand that he have to pay his vendors and inform the tax department about his net incomes. A driver is supposed to understand the difference between right and left. An owner of a gun is supposed to understand what is happening if he aim a loaded gun to somebody and pull the trigger. Responsibility is based on an event in time with certain consequences that follows after that choice. Some where in the chain of events there is someone that had a free choice. Sometime there are no choice, like the number of fingers we have on our hands. In to some extent we are free and to some extent we are not free. 19 year old Nisreen Mansour, one of Gaddafis female life guards was ordered to kill prisoners or she should be shot by her officer. Did she have a choice? Could she be plead responsible then? If you are prisoned or ordered by a military system you are not free. If there is a hole in the wall and you are not trying to escape through the hole then you are still free to stay but you are also by the possibility to escape put responsible for staying inside. > > This version has completely ruined the old song. > They have left out the central pun--the raison d'?tre of the entire > song--when they > replaced 'whetstone' with 'stone'. > Craig Well, in the version I remember with Harry Belafonte, Odetta Holmes say stone too: http://youtu.be/yD-ffhvefsw after 2:42 min Jan-Anders Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
