I was dragged into Joni Mitchjell's music of multiple reasons occuring at the same time, of one of them was Nick Hornby's "About a boy" Listen to this: Marcus came out of his room scowling. "I'm bored. Can I go and get a vide?" Will couldn't resist it: he had a theory he wnated to test out. "Hey Fiona, why don't you get your sheet music out, and we can murder "Both sides now"?' "Would you like to?" "Yeah. Sure" But he was watching Marcus whose expression was that of a boy who had been asked to dance naked before a mixed audience og supermodels and cousins. "Please, Mum. don't" "Don't be silly. You love singing. You love Joni Mitchell" "I don't. Not any more. I bloody hate Joni Mitchell.' Will knew then, beyond any shadow of doubt, that Marcus would be OK... Page 286 About a boy We all have our reasons to be here, I guess. this was mine. Still strike me as surprisingly funny !

I thought his appeal was that he makes people feel hopeful and optimistic and feeling that the US is one nation that can pull together? I hate to use the term healer, but it seems to me that that is the effect he has. Also, isn't it so that his campaign has been more sober than anything the US has seen for a long time? Hi Bene, You see Obama differently than I do. I think he is dividing more than he is uniting. That seems to be what his campaign thinks it has to do in order to win. He has to turn people against his opponent and what he calls the status quo. Rather than focusing on issues, his campaign focuses too much on Hillary in my opinion. I don't see anything healing about that. I'd rather hear what he can do than what others do that is wrong. I get his campaign emails, and they are much more negative toward Hillary than are Hillary's toward him. She talks about what she has to offer in her's while he speaks out against her in his. I think in general, Hillary followers are not angry toward Obama like Obama followers are toward Hillary. There is a subtle play on and building of this anger in Obama's campaign. The Obama campaign has an "us and them" mentality at it's heart, separating Obama out from "Washington politics" which are never clearly defined and could be considered as what he is doing in his campaign. It seems to be a double standard to me. I found the following written by his campaign manager revealing of what are in my opinion are manipulative tactics being used in the Obama campaign: "When we won Iowa, the Clinton campaign said it's not the number of states you win, it's "a contest for delegates." When we won a significant lead in delegates, they said it's really about which states you win." If you map out what is said here logically, it doesn't follow. The words "number" and "which" are not equivalent.

We had a script to read, depending on what answers you were given. If someone said they weren't voting for Hillary, you'd just go to the closing and thank them for their time. Not even a word about Obama. It dealt with her accomplishments from the past 35 years. I know from people personally who received phonecalls from the Obama campaign that there was a lot of negativity towards Hillary in their scripts from their calls. I don't particularly care for that sort of campaigning. I'd much rather hear what someone has done rather than what the other person has done wrong. I will say this for both of them. I do not think Obama or Hillary themselves have been focusing on each other all that much. It did increase a bit (on both sides) after the Texas/Ohio/RI win (wasn't Hillary declared a "monster" after her win by Obama's person?) but still not an unhealthy amount. However, the campaign aimed at the supporters or through the supporters still is crucial and I don't like negative tones. It is very easy to sway someone's opinion about something when someone is already passionate about it from the beginning. It is easy to place blame or install feelings in others. -M Laura Stanley wrote: I get his campaign emails, and they are much more negative toward Hillary than are Hillary's toward him.

I do remember when I was in France in 2005 that gas was about twice what we paid at home. Food is also much higher-priced and cost of gas (transport) plays a great part in that. So I started wondering about wages. I'm pretty sure that people in Europe probably don't get paid correspondingly higher than they do in the US and Canada (that is, I doubt you get paid twice as much to do the same job as you would be paid in the US, although you do pay twice as much for a lot of things.) I'm also pretty sure that there are lots of jobs that pay much better in the US than in Canada, but what about average wages or minimum wage? Here the minimum wage is set by the individual provinces. Our provincial gov't (Ontario) has just announced that minimum wage will rise from the current $8.00 to $8.75* as of March 31 and by another 75 cents for each of the two years thereafter (big whoop! there wouldn't be much left after paying rent in a shitty apartment, certainly not in Toronto.) *Canadian dollars but US and Canada are very close, so it's pretty much the same - today $8.75CDN = $8.76USD, I'm curious to know what the minimum wage is where other people live. I just googled "minimum wage USA" and I think I've answered my own question as far as the US is concerned. I found a very interesting map, after which $8.75 an hour isn't sounding so bad (although most things tend to be cheaper in the US than here anyway, so maybe it evens out.) It's also interesting to note the pattern of US states which have a state minimum above, below or the same as the US federal minimum. In some states, the minimum wage is only $5.15 an hour! http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm This makes me feel kind of ill, especially when I see people living in the street, other people driving Hummers and a whole row of expensive stores (Prada, Gucci, Tiffany's, etc.) all in my neighbourhood.

In New Zealand - Currently: The minimum wage for employees aged 18 years and over is $11.25 before tax ($9.06 after tax) per hour, and the youth minimum wage and training wage are both $9.00 before tax ($7.29 after tax) per hour. From 1st April 2008: The minimum wage for employees aged 16 years and over will rise to over $12.00 before tax ($9.72 after tax) per hour, and the training wage will rise to $9.60 before tax ($7.78 after tax) per hour. The youth minimum wage will no longer exist, instead a "new entrants" wage of $9.60 before tax ($7.78 after tax) per hour will be introduced (which may still include some employees aged 16 or 17, depending on conditions).

I think it is the anger of people frustrated with their lives & what is becoming of their country- with gas going up, medical care unaffordable, jobs scarce, houses going into foreclosure, kids dying overseas for what?!?!, etc. Kate, who at this point in her life is not spending time with angry people but rather with those who have hope & a positive vision for our collective future. www.katebennett.com >I've seen and heard it all now. And when I say anger I don't just mean passionate support for their candidate...I mean illogical, frustrated anger... -M < ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:05:33 -0700 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Re: NJC Previous elections Bene, I think your points are brilliant! Kate www.katebennett.com >Well yes, it is true that despite his uniting effect he does seem to split the democratic party. At least if he wins noone's going to say that it was a fantasy election and that he didn't have to work hard for the votes. Obama doesn't seem dum or naive to me at all, and if on top of that he can win by appealing to people's hope and goodness rather than to their anger and fear which normally is what helps politicians win the crowds over, then I'm beginning to feel optimistic too! We don't have a president here so things are very different. I can see how these aggressive campaigns can drive people a bit crazy, because they really seem to appeal very strongly to people's emotions, and if you are a supporter it must feel wonderful to be part of something that could potentially change history.... until you lose. Anyway, enough from me, I'm too ignorant for this discussion!
