Marxist Matriarchy: We Tasted it in Romania – And it Was Bitter!
(Excerpt from "Of Clay and Iron: The Great American Apostasy")
A character that had a massive impact on Socialist Romania between 1965 – 1989 is Elena Ceausescu, wife and second in command to Nicolae Ceausescu. She was, arguably, the most significant driving force behind Romania adopting draconically small food rations.
I am not sure why she remained an obscure figure in the international history; it could be because Romania is so embarrassed by her that it tried to erase her existence. However, she was one of the most prolific Marxist figures in the history of the Socialist era in East Europe. Her rise and fall is a haunting example of what the rise and fall of Marxist matriarchy can do to a nation.
Elena Ceausescu was nick-named "The She-Pharaoh" in Romania. Once her husband ascended to political power, Elena too developed a taste for power. There is no evidence that she ever graduated middle school or high school. Yet, she was one of the 25 graduates of a Phd. in Macro-Molecular Chemistry, in 1967, when she became a Doctor in the field.
Her graduation exam was held in secret, at a time outside the established examination schedule; the examiners who came to examine her in an open-door exam (open to the public), found out that her exam already took place and she had already been awarded the title of "Doctor".
Upon reviewing the written work, the examiners found her written thesis to be scientifically correct. It is now a known fact that the work had been written by other Doctors in Chemistry, a few highly rated scientists who at the time were working at a renowned Research Institute in Chemistry. In the thesis, there are references to using a nuclear magnetic resonance device. At the time, no Romanian Research Institute owned or had access to a device like that. This suggests that at least part of the thesis had been written by foreign scientists.
The massive efforts that followed in the next years to promote Elena Ceausescu as a prolific Chemist and Researcher and ultimately as the head of the National Council for Scientific Research, had included the systematic discouragement of genuinely talented and intelligent young Researchers and Chemists who previously had brilliant results. No one was allowed to rise above her level or to shadow the "National Lead Scientist" – title that she had adorned herself with.
At the time of her "scientific ascent", different researchers in Romania were working on collaborative projects with various countries. Those projects either fell under her patronage immediately, and she was added to the team as a valuable member of the collective, or the projects lost the funding overnight with no explanation. She soon put together a team of researchers who were working under her, producing scientific papers and studies. All these studies were published under her name only. Her team of researchers was composed out of scared researchers, who were threatened and blackmailed into working under her name, and out of extremely passionate researchers who were willing to pass on the plate of glory for the sake of developing the field.
Without Elena becoming a scientific authority, none of the couple's plans for reducing the use of internal resources in order to pay the external debt ahead of time would have worked. Their independence from the Soviet Union would also have been threatened; less Elena measured to the task of becoming Nicolae Ceausescu's devoted ally. Contrary to popular belief, Romania was never part of the Soviet Union, but was certainly an "anchor state". Romania's relative independence was a major concern of Nicolae Ceausescu, as he wouldn't have had the freedon to run the country as he wanted, had the Soviets Annexed Romania to the Union. Nicolae Ceausescu's greatest moment of popularity came in 1968, when he condemned in a public speech the Czechoslovak invasion by the Soviet troops. Fearing retribution, wanting to consolidate his power and trying to safe proof his role against any political maneuvers coming from the Soviet powers (which still had great influence over the Romania political decisions), Ceausescu turned his wife into his personal Cerberus. This explains the tremendous effort poured into depicting Elena as an international scientist of the highest rank and the further efforts invested into turning Elena into a powerful political figure independently from her husband.
Elena Ceausescu became full member of the Central Committee in 1972. That was a very significant event in her political career, as it opened the doors to her utter political ascent. From that point on, developing the National Feeding Program for the population was half step away. Who better to supervise the development of a Feeding Program but a Renowned Scientist of International caliber? Lucky us, Romania had one at home – our "beloved Mother of the Nation", as she used to call herself.
(*Note: The role of a Central Committee in Marxist parties, the Central Committee is that of a central executive body. This governing body consists of party members elected from the delegates present at the party congress. The Central Committee makes decisions on behalf of the party between two Congress meetings, and is the one who chooses the members of the Political Bureau. The "political bureau" is the leading executive organization for multiple Marxist parties, but it is not a governmental organization. In Marxist states, the parties are (very conveniently for the government!) considered the "vanguard of the people". Therefore, the Marxist parties have the power to control the state, and party officials in political offices who do not hold government positions still have extremely high power.
Usually, if the Marxist political parties say that the people support a particular cause, the government will allow for that cause to move forward. This is why the members of the party were carefully selected and if one would not agree with the Marxist agenda, they would be removed immediately from the party. This system gives people the illusion that they are in power, in spite of the fact that their voices are never heard. In a nutshell, the government chooses the members of the parties and the party members choose the members of the government. And when they want to push an agenda, both forces say: "The people are asking for action…")
In other words, with the admission in the Central Committee, the political doors swung wide for Elena to gain even more executive power in the state, just as she and her husband planned. She became way more than a First Lady or a "plus one" of the President. She became the most powerful person in the state, and the most vocal activist for the flourishing Marxism in Romania. Overnight, she became representative for Arges (a county near by the capital), and one year later she became member of the Executive Committee of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party. What is interesting to notice is that the two of them, Nicolae and Elena, had always worked as a team, in perfect unity. The nature of their relationship was bordering bizzare, even for a conservative society in which nuclear families are united. Their union seemed to be more of an unhealthy, melting-into-each-other kind of codependent relationship, rather than a joint, intellectual effort of two properly self-defined individuals, to lead a state together.
In an effort to create justice for all, the Ceausescu couple decided that the state should develop and push social justice programs. In 1974, they adopted a law called "The Code of Socialist Ethics and Equity". One of the measures adopted in this effort to create an "equal society" was to make it illegal for people to have two jobs. The consequence is that, to this day, Elena Ceausescu is the only woman in the recorded history who at the same time developed a brilliant scientific career, collected all most powerful political titles in the state (less her husband's title) and purchased one of the vastest collections of rare, antique or extremely expensive jewelry from across the world out of public finances. Some of her rare jewelry were found by the revolutionary in December 1989, when the Causescu were killed. Some of her jewelry and bank accounts have never been found. The records show that in spite the fact that in Romania it was illegal to have two incomes, Elena, the Mother of all Mothers, was cumulating 21,000 Romanian lei / month from two pay-checks: one salary for her political positions and one salary for her scientific research, from the nationalized Chemistry Research Institute. This income of hers had never been spent, as all her expenses – starting with toilet paper and ending with expensive planes – were covered from the national treasury at the state's expense. Her income had always been deposited into her children's bank accounts.
In comparison, my father's salary, considered to be a rather large salary – enough to feed 4 – was 1,100-1,200 lei / month. Even Nicolae, her husband, did not have two pay-checks – she was the only person in the country for whom this exception was made. Everybody had been held back, whilst an ignorant, uneducated woman was fraudulently awarded titles that others work decades for, titles that served exclusively to her personal benefit and to her own ever-growing riches. (In Marxism, everyone is equal, but there are some people who are more equal than others.)
Knowing her loyalty laid with him to the end, in 1976, Ceausescu created a new powerful position for Elena. He created the Problem-Solving Committee for Party Members and State Members of the Central Committee of the Marxist Party – and named Elena president of this Committee. Her role was to supervise all social justice activists, all dignitaries, all directors and all mayors. Her power kept increasing to such a level that in 1979 Elena was managing the Party, the Education Department, Research Department, Activism and Propaganda Department, and the Culture Department over the entire state. This led to Elena being powerful enough to create a position for herself within the state where she became, de-facto, second in command in the state. Her husband ran "Office 1" and she ran "Office 2". After 1976 Elena's political power was consolidated to the point where Nicolae was able to take off for political visits and leave the country in her hands for extended periods of time. It became a known fact that unless they had Elena's approval, no law project would pass Nicolae's approval. She became the leading force from the shadow.
By 1980, the couple's tyranny became beyond anything that the soviet bloc had seen up to that point. The Soviet Union started to feel they're losing their grip on Ceausescu starting with his speech in 1968; by now, with Elena as his political image manager and with her in so many key functions in the state, the Soviet Union was merely a witness of the starvation of the nation rather than a complicit. Romania became more Marxist than Marx himself, and the scarcity of food and lack of basic hygienic resources is probably impossible for me to explain and for you to imagine, because it's unimaginable in what conditions of poverty and desolation a rich nation can be brought to in merely a few decades. The worse our life conditions, the louder Elena's PR campaigns for accepting and embracing Marxism and the louder the media praises for the Marxist leaders.
Elena's Practical Role in Starving the Population
For almost a decade, under Ceausescu's tyranny, Romanians survived on terribly reduced food rations. The Marxist economy did not work in Romania either – but our tyrannical leaders decided to cling on to power and push the system even further than it had ever been pushed in the Soviet Union, with the hope that it will fix itself.
One of the state's best kept secrets was the exact amount of external post-war debt and the reimbursement program that Romania signed with other countries, in order to cover the war debt. We were kept in dark about the numbers; the only information that made it to the people was that we needed to tighten the belt even more, work more, eat less, and pay off our external debt.
The pie in the sky was that if we make a collective effort to pay off the debt, we will all somehow make it to a better stage in the development of the country, everyone will have access to resources according to its own needs, food will become available on the market and we will have hot water on demand.
Romania became officially Marxist in 1948. A series of measures and laws were introduced in order to facilitate strict control over the population, over the production and over the resources.
The legislation introduced prior to 1982 prepared the way for a law that no one ever believed would be imposed in Romania: bread rationing. Bread is not only one of the main products Romanians eat, it is also a symbol of life in Romanian culture. Romania used to be called "The Bread Basket of Europe". All meals are accompanied by bread in Romania, to this day. Rationing the bread took a great psychological toll on people. People were starved already, but the bread rationing was a step further than anyone thought Romania was going to be pushed towards. Under the influence of propaganda and the fear of the secret police and informers (spies), Romanians stayed silent for almost one more decade of tyranny.
With the exception of Bucharest (the capital), where bread and meat were not officially rationed, everywhere else in the country bread, sugar, meat, and oil, were occasionally available for purchase, but exclusively based on "food cards". However, even without being rationed, food was never available in the stores.
People were not allowed to purchase more than what was "rightfully theirs", based on what the law decided each person should eat. Snacks, candies and comfort foods were alien concepts to us. Everyone ate what the law said, when the state allowed it. This was seen as a compassionate, collective way of laying down our basic human rights, for our kids to live without debt. Everything was done "for the good of the kids".
The "Food Cards" necessary to purchase food were distributed exclusively through the work place, and each person worked where the government assigned them. When kids were coming to age, the state would release the official directives on who needs to go into what kind of careers, based on micro-management of labor force across the country, not on capabilities or skills. Nepotism was a big contributing factor to the labor directives as well. The government would conduct strict demographic control; abortions were illegal and censuses were organized random and often, at the state's will. Then, based on the censuses, very exact amounts of food would be distributed in each area, based on the number of residents in each neighborhood. Romanians didn't use to use the words "purchase" or "going shopping". Nobody went shopping. Just like a dog knows it's meal time when the master plates the food, every time we would see the brandless "food truck" come in the neighborhood, we knew there was going to be food in the store for a very few hours, so everyone would dropping everything they were doing and rush to the store; we were not buying food, we were being "handed out food". That's the phrase we used to use for grocery shopping. We were being fed.
Grocery stores were used merely as distribution centers for food, usually once a month. For them, it was like feeding the cattle.
The bread rationing law introduced in 1982 was preceded by the so-called "Law for Establishing, Distributing and Implementing the Rightful Use of Resources by County, for Providing Necessary Supplies for the Population". This law was a strict guideline rigorously enforced by the authorities who were establishing – based on demographic numbers and total calories allowed to be consumed daily by a person – how much food should be distributed to each county. Also, based on location, city folks were considered superior to village folks, so city folks rations were larger than village folks rations; but not with a lot. Rural and especially agricultural communities were severely crushed by the system, as people were pushed into cities. City folks were told that they are given Food Cards for their own good, so that village folks can't steal their food from them. The peasants were not allowed to buy bread (or other food) from the city; in fact, the rationing of bread was justified in legislation through a lie: Ceausescu's propaganda machine started the rumor that the peasants bought large quantities of bread to feed their animals. So peasants and rural area folks were not allowed to shop in cities, and they were also not allowed to slaughter their own critters – especially not calves, steers, pigs, sheep, etc. without approval. In fact, there were supervisors who were coming yearly to inspect the village households and write down how many critters and what kind each household had. The party was too concerned about food quality – supposedly – to allow people to slaughter their own meat for their own consumption; so the state put together a livestock purchasing program, under which the state was purchasing the animals from the peasants at ridiculously small sums, and selling them for export at good prices. With the money obtained, the peasants were allowed to purchase meat slaughtered by the butcher shop owned by the government, at ridiculously high prices. The whole plan was to allow people to eat just about enough not to die. The saved money was supposed to go, in theory, towards paying the external debt. Practically, a lot of it stopped in the leader's pockets. However, during this whole process of systematic starvation, Ceausescu ordered the Central Committee to produce a scientific study that reveals how much a person needs to eat in order to survive.
In 1982, the "The Program for Scientific Feeding of the Population" was launched under the careful directive, guidance and blessing of Elena Ceausescu. Elena was directly responsible with making sure that the population has enough food, and as someone in a position of unchecked power, she sure made sure we were starving. This document, which was ultimately the fruit of matriarchical tyranny, established the number of calories per meal that a person is allowed to eat, the size of the food rations and the weight Romanians must weight. Believe me, obesity had never been a problem in Romania under this regime.
These scientific studies have concluded that a Romanian should eat no more than:
– 132-154 pounds of meat OR meat products / year (we were basically raised on a salami called "The Victory", made out of horse meat mixed with soy; chicken feet and pork feet were the most common meat source; hot dogs and baloney were rare, but still more common than unprocessed meat.)
– 16-20 pounds fish OR fish made products / year (we used to have something called "fish paste", made out of mushed fish organs and inferior quality fish meat – that was the "fish products" they were referring to)
– 55 gallons milk or dairy products / year
– 260-280 eggs / year
– 35 pounds lard or butter or margarine / year
– 375 – 395 pounds vegetables / year
– 150 – 195 pounds potatoes / year
– 670 pounds grain vegetables (like beans, peas, etc.) / year
– 140-200 pounds fruit products (like jam, marmalade, jelly and fruit juice) / year
– 48-55 pounds sugar / year
Then, in 1984, the year I was born, the new scientific study came out, and it proved that the diet above is debauchery, so Romanians only needed:
– 96 pounds meat / year – that is under 2 pounds of meat or meat products / week
– 20 gallons milk / year – 1/3 gallon milk / week
– 365 pounds vegetables / year – 7 pounds / week
– 2 pound sugar / month
– 2 pounds oil / month
– 3.5 oz butter / month
– 2 pounds flour / month
Dairy products were distributed daily to the stores, but in order to get some, you had to wait in line from 4.00-5.00 am, because the stocks were small and depleted quickly. My father sometimes would go to wait in line from 3am, at 5am my mother would go to take his place as he needed to be at work at 6am. She would sometimes come back home after 10am, with no purchases, because the milk sold out right in front of her. This was terribly heartbreaking and spirit breaking, especially in winter, when she would come home frozen, to an unheated house. Eggs were also a rarity, and often the cartons contained broken eggs, which people struggled to collect from the package, not to waste anything. I don't think any American had ever saved a broken egg from a carton.
In Bucharest, the capital, the stores had fairly often canned vegetables and Vietnamese shrimp chips. People were able to find rice (packed up together with weeds and dirt and rocks; we were "sorting the rice" manually every time before cooking), canned peas or tomato paste, seeds and green onions – in season only. The cheapest, lowest quality of Vietnamese shrimp chips were imported in industrial quantities and people were living off them. Popcorn was a delicacy. Soda or pop drinks were nonexistent on the market.
Each neighborhood had one grocery store, one hospital, one pharmacy, one school, one kindergarten, one market. Each family was ascribed to their one particular store and was not allowed to purchase anything in any other store, or to send their kids to a school they were not ascribed to. The head of the household would go every month to the store manager, with his ID and his flat ID card (yes, flats used to have ID cards, just like people, because they belonged to the government; just like people. There was no private property.) The head of the household was asked how many people live in his household, including renters, and the right number of people was recorded. One couldn't lie, because there were randomized accuracy checks conducted by the secret police, at odd times at night. The store manager would fill in the "Food Card" with the details and the food card would be good for one month. Every day you would go purchase your daily food ration and they would punch in your card at the store.
The manager of the store would calculate each family's allowance and record it in the store database and on the Food Card. The "store manager" position was very powerful; if someone had an argument with the store manager even years before they became the store manager, they risked starving. Store managers would sometimes take their cut out of each family's rations, one loaf of bread here and one loaf of bread there (yes, the bread rations were given out in counted slices of bread, not whole loaves). Whoever had a close relative or became a store manager, was set. One saying that people would repeat often was "A friend who is a store manager in communism is more valuable than an estate in capitalism". There is so much truth to that. Those who were friends with store managers or even store clerks also had access once in a while to coffee, oranges, chocolate or candy, delicacies that rarely reached the store shelves because they were usually distributed in secret to friends and family of the County Food Warehouse managers or store managers directly from the warehouse. Knowing someone who managed a store or a warehouse mattered more than having money, because people with money and no friends starved and people with friends survived.
Needless to say, Romanians developed the most lucrative food black market seen in Europe, in order to have access to the bare minimum food needed to survive. Storing food long term and stashing supplies was considered gouging and was punishable by imprisonment – and the secret police would actually come and check, to make sure no one is stacking up on food.
As ridiculous as it sounds, in the world I grew up in, food was more valuable than money, and if you had food to pay with, you could buy anything. This is why the richest people in Romania were the shepherds who lived so deep in the steep mountains and so scattered from each other, that it was not worth for the police to chase them down. They were the ones who purchased helicopters by selling milk, meat, wool and cheese, and became so rich they were able to afford to send their kids to be taught in Western schools and bring capitalism back to Romania. The people who controlled the food supply were the people who had power.
This is why, the State Council put out a Decree No. 306/1981 on "measures to prevent and combat acts that affect the good supply of the population" on October 1981. This decree established penalties for Romanians who made food supplies. "It is a crime of gouging and it is punished according to the provisions of the Criminal Code with imprisonment from 6 months to 5 years, for anyone to purchase from the state and collective commercial units, with the intent to store, in quantities exceeding the needs of family consumption for a period of one month, oil, sugar, flour, corn, rice, coffee, as well as other foodstuffs whose storage affects the interests of other buyers and the good supply of the population", was the provision made by article 1 of Decree 306. The punishment also referred to peasants who bought bread in town. Vendors who sold more than the established ration did not escape punishment either, if caught. "The staff of the commercial units is obliged to sell to the buyers the food products provided in Art. 1 only in the quantities and conditions established by law. Failure to comply with the provisions of Article 1 constitutes a crime and is punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 5 years ", was written in Article 4 of the Decree.
The main problem though was not the food ration; the problem was that even if one was allowed to purchase two pounds of sugar or flour per month, the stores never actually carried food. People had money and more often than not, were unable to purchase sugar months in a row because they couldn't find any. On the days when there would be chicken available in the stores – remember, the size of the chickens was literally the size of pigeons – the grocery stores looked like a Black Friday sale. People were actually stepping on each other, fighting to get food – all. The. Time. That was our "normal" shopping.
Under Ceausescu, Romanians invented all sorts of food recipes that were fit for the poverty level. In the absence of meat, stews were made out of chopped soy salami, which was available. In the absence of chicken, the Romanians were eating fried soy salami with French fries. As the ration of eggs did not allow the Romanians in the city to prepare cakes too often at home (and there were no cakes in the store – or even cake mixes), crushed tea biscuits were a substitute for cakes. The Romanians had also found a solution for baking old bread purchased from the grocery store. Store bought bread was burned, over-cooked and as hard as rocks – literally. (There were incidents where people fought over bread at the store and they ended up with bleeding heads because one of them would grab a loaf of bread and smack the other one over the head.) Burned bread cooked in steam softened, and got a seemingly fresh consistency. Bananas and oranges that were brought in the stores only at Christmas were often unripe and people would wrap them in newspaper near a heat source, to ripen faster.
First time when we saw bananas, it was right after the revolution. One of our neighbors started importing on the black market food from Serbia, and my mother paid a real fortune for a stack of bananas. We got 8 bananas, two for each, and she paid upfront about 300 lei for them. (My father's paycheck was $1,100-1,200 lei.) I can still hear her telling our neighbor: "I heard the Serbians have bananas. Can you see if you can find any and bring some for my kids?". I asked what those were and she said: "Oh, you'll see when they get here." We waited for a few weeks. By the time the neighbor arrived back, I – six at the time – had completely forgotten about them. One day my parents weren't home and the neighbor knocked at the door and gave them to me. She meant to leave but turned back and said: "Don't eat them all at once. Take one bite and if your tummy hurts, don't eat the rest till mommy gets home, okay? And if it doesn't hurt, don't eat more than one." Well, me and my brother, we didn't know they needed to be peeled. We washed them and bit the peels and realized they needed to be pealed through the trial and error process. So when my mother came home, we told her what we did, and she laughed and said: "Well, let's open them like the Americans do." – and opened them from the wrong end. It took another 3 years for a Dutch minister to come to Romania, to teach us how one is supposed to peel a banana "like an American".

LONDON (AFP) – Serena Williams boosted her chances of winning an eighth Wimbledon and 24th Grand Slam by making the fourth round at the All England Club on Friday as big sister Venus fell victim to the curse of the seeds.
Serena, seeded a modest 25 this year, enjoyed a 7-5, 7-6 (7/2) win over France's Kristina Mladenovic to set up a last-16 duel with Russian qualifier – and fellow mother – Evgeniya Rodina.
Only two of the top 10 seeds remain in the women's draw – number one Simona Halep, who plays her third round match on Saturday, and seventh seed Karolina Pliskova who came back from 1-4 down in the second set to defeat Mihaela Buzarnescu 3-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-1.
Also exiting was 10th seed Madison Keys, who had made at least the quarterfinals of her last three majors.
"I was happy to stay clam and finish off the job. I thought I did very well today," said the 36-year-old 20-time Slam winner.
''Stopping last night was not a nice feeling to go to bed with,'' said Zverev who said he had vomited on Friday due to a stomach bug and came close to quitting.
Russia's Ekaterina Makarova defied second round victim Wozniacki's churlish prediction that she wouldn't progress further in the tournament by reaching the last 16.

Palpa to have Rs 100 million Ram Janaki Temple
Rampur, Palpa, Dec. 17: Construction of Ram Janaki Temple is underway. The Rs 100 million project aims to conserve and protect historical and religious importance of Ramchulo, which has a religious and mythological significance.
According to a myth, in Tetra Yuga God Rama on the way to his journey of 12 years of exile had taken a rest at now Bejhad bazaar in Rampur Municipality-5 and had his meal by making an oven built with three stones. As a result, the place was named Ramchulo later on.
Along with the two-storey temple, other two buildings will also be constructed, said the Ram Janaki Temple Council Conservation Committee, Rampur Chairperson Phanenshwor Gautam.
Local people and concerned authorities have provided the construction amounts. More than Rs 20 million that was collected from a Shrimad Bhagvat Gyuan Mahayagya held in 2071 B.S. in the district, goes to the construction help. RSS

Riparian soils, rich in organic carbon, act as a source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the adjacent stream, but the hydrologic factors that control the delivery of DOC are not well characterized.
A mechanistic two-dimensional, variably saturated flow and reactive transport finite element model (FEM) was developed to explore both biodegradable DOC (BDOC) and refractory DOC (RDOC) delivery processes during storms for a hillslope transect in a southeastern Pennsylvania Piedmont watershed. The model indicated that DOC concentrations in outflow from a hillslope peaked on the falling limb of the discharge hydrograph, a temporal sequence consistent with a flushing hypothesis. Factors that control the lag time between the stream water peak discharge and peak DOC concentration were analyzed using a Monte Carlo simulation coupled with a multiple linear regression.
The results are consistent with previous studies showing that the majority of DOC delivered to a stream during storms originates from the riparian zone. Further, the model suggests that the duration of the flood wave and hydraulic properties of the riparian soil play important roles in controlling the lag time between peak discharge and peak DOC concentration in outflow from a hillslope.

A Story of Exile:
Reflections on the Life of the Stranger
[F]or I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
– Matt. 25:43
I think almost everyone wants to tell their story – the story of what has happened and what is happening in their life, whether it is something big, like the fire that raged through the neighbourhood, or something small, like the strange coincidence that happened this morning on the way in to work. We even want to tell each other about the non-real things, because those happened too, in a way. Last night's dream for example, almost seems like a story worth telling.
Haven't you had the situation where you've dreamt about someone you know and it was so realistic and memorable that now you want to tell them all about it? "Hey, last night I dreamt you and I were clowns and we worked in a travelling circus and then you disappeared for a while and I couldn't figure out where you were but then I looked up and saw you riding a unicycle on a trapeze rope and I was like, 'Hey, when did you learn to do that?' but you couldn't hear me and then all of a sudden we were outside and somehow at that point it changed so that we were near the ocean and it was night and we were watching fireworks and having a picnic. Wasn't it incredible?"
But of course, you don't say that. And you kind of forget about it, until you see them later that day and you remember how last night you were both clowns, but then you don't say it then either, because, well, you know that's not the kind of story you tell.
. . . unless, I suppose, you're paying someone to listen.
For about $100 per hour, you can find someone to listen to this story and other ones as well. Psychologists will listen and perhaps even come up with a hidden meaning to your dream, though I think this practice is less in vogue than it used to be. At the very least, the psychologist will indulge your desire to describe it, since he's being paid to listen, empathize and analyze. Chesterton said "psychoanalysis is confession without absolution." ("Fads and Public Opinion," What I Saw in America.)
And indeed, despite all the criticism that is levelled at the Catholic Church for requiring periodic confession, the fact is that people need someone to talk to, especially about things that matter. And in a society that has abandoned the Christian practice of confession (arguing either on the one hand that it's unnecessary because you can just 'pray directly to God,' or arguing on the other hand that it's unnecessary because there's no such thing as sin), people are finding new and unusual ways of unburdening themselves. It makes me think of a river that has lost its normal route – now it must overflow its banks and go all over the place.
One of my friends said that the most exhausting aspect of being a massage therapist was the fact that so many of her clients wanted to unburden themselves and tell her all of their life problems and dramas. It makes sense to me: a client puts himself into the hands of the therapist in a unique physical way, and now that he trusts the therapist with his body, it's not a big step to trust the therapist with his stories. My friend wound up abandoning that line of work largely because she found it not only physically demanding, but also highly psychologically and emotionally demanding. It's hard work listening to humanity's issues, and as difficult as it is to give advice, it is probably even more difficult to withhold advice, because it's not wanted or because it runs the risk of offending a paying customer. "Hmm, that client never came back after I told him he shouldn't be cheating on his wife."
Another therapist friend was telling me some of the things that she has learned about society's latest experiments in immorality. There is a lot of suffering amongst teenagers, for example, who have been encouraged to treat their bodies as a means to an end, instead of as something precious. Truly, that therapist has all sorts of people walking through her door, and over the course of years, she has learned the depths of depravity to which many modern adult Canadians have sunk; things are not as rosy as they appear. She could tell you stories! And her detailed knowledge about what's happening in local high schools has influenced her decision to begin homeschooling her own child.
Hairdressers have the same experience, but I think to a lesser degree, because there's less intimacy in that setting. Nevertheless, they also get an earful. Part of the appeal for the client is that the hairdresser is often outside the client's normal circle of friends and family, and so it's so much more like telling a priest in the confessional, who will not reveal what he has heard.
But even when there's no anonymity, there's no shortage of people wanting to tell their story. They will go on television talk shows and confess all sorts of things. In fact, these people don't want to be anonymous. Their sensational story is going to be their method of becoming famous, in some cases. I have to be careful here, though, because this doesn't cover every instance. Many good people suffer in the telling of their stories, but tell them anyway, in order to warn other people about certain dangers, or in order to help other people who are facing the same problem. And one additional aspect of their suffering is the public perception that they're seeking fame.
The rise of blogging can also be explained, to a large degree, by the desire to tell one's story. For many bloggers, their 'invisible friends' are a very significant part of their own support network. The blogger writes about the latest events in her life, and she can imagine that here, at last, are people who really understand and sympathize with her. Whether this in fact is the case or not, the blogger still has the cathartic experience of telling her story.
Indeed, in day to day life, there are always more story-tellers than listeners, especially empathetic listeners. I saw a t-shirt the day before yesterday: "Please wait a moment, while I try to care." I thought, yes, that about sums up the modern attitude.
I feel sorry for all the people in the world who don't have people to hear their stories. Children, for example, have a lot of things they want to talk about, but I don't know if the world slows down enough for them to be heard, especially when both parents are working outside the home. And husbands and wives also race by each other, preoccupied with work or with independent internet interests. I saw an ad promoting home wifi capabilities (or something similar). It showed an outline of a house, with one person in every room, each using one device. Everyone in the house was using something different, and the walls of the house separated them all. I thought, yes, that about sums up the modern lifestyle. It makes those not-too-long-ago days of the family sitting around glued to the television set seem downright cozy.
And too many seniors are also left with nobody to talk to. I spoke with a Sister of Providence, who said that there was one senior sister who was losing her ability to speak after having been in a neglectful seniors' residence, and she had to be rehabilitated. Bit by bit, she regained her ability to talk.
And on the topic of seniors, it's too bad that our culture underestimates the advantages of grandchild to grandparent time. These interactions are in so many ways a perfect fit. It's so often the case that grandparents and children are moving at a slower pace, and are more able to enjoy each other. I'm not saying that grandparents aren't busy, but rather that they are often willing to make themselves available to younger children in a way that harried parents aren't able to.
Of course, there is no set of years where it's good to be left without a listener, but I think our world would be much improved if those aged from about 9 to 19 had more time with mature adult listeners to work through their issues. It's a time when physically and intellectually, these young people can seem like independent adults, but they are grappling with really big issues with very little preparation. Yet it's at this point that parents start accepting a much-diminished role. They see their child interacting with friends and are happy for the friendships, without realizing that the child still needs the parent in a really deep and significant way. If a parent steps back too much, and parents via text messaging ("where r u?"), this leaves a very big void in the life of the tween or teen or young adult, who loses the ability to tell his story to someone who has been through these turbulent years. Young people often ooze maturity and mimic a nonchalant cool attitude, but underneath all of that, there's insecurity and searching.
Who knows? Perhaps part of the reason parents give their children so much space is because they don't want to have these more important conversations. Maybe they feel hypocritical to question their child's behaviour when they know that they've made so many mistakes of their own. But the truth is that mistakes are a source of very useful information. I'm not suggesting that parents confess all past failings; my point is that parents shouldn't self-disqualify because they haven't been saints. Painful past experiences might prove providentially useful – now, for example, the father will think of warning his daughter about the mixed motives of the new boyfriend, and now the mother will be able to fully empathize with her teenager, because she knows all about the heartbreak and healing of a break-up.
Without a parent being receptive to a young person's stories, the young person will seek advice from his peers. This is usually worse. I say 'usually' because some adults do embrace a false notion of freedom, (where freedom means licentiousness – doing whatever you want whenever you want) and themselves act like dogs in an off-leash park. Now these parents might not be able to offer stellar advice, but at least they offer their love and empathy. And their unconditional love for their child puts them in a unique position. They can be a true friend on the journey:
Imposing things by force, in an authoritarian manner, is not the right way to teach. The ideal attitude of parents lies more in becoming their children's friends – friends who will be willing to share their anxieties, who will listen to their problems, who will help them in an effective and agreeable way.
Parents should find time to spend with their children, to talk with them. They are the most important thing – more important than business or work or rest. In their conversations parents should make an effort to listen, to pay attention, to understand, to recognize the fact that their children are sometimes partly right – or even completely right – in some of their rebellious attitudes.
Listen to your children. Give them your time, even the time that you have reserved for yourselves. Show them your confidence; believe whatever they tell you, even if sometimes they try to deceive you. Don't be afraid when they rebel, because, at your age, you yourselves were more or less rebellious. Go to meet them halfway and pray for them. If you act in this Christian manner, they will come to you with simplicity, instead of trying to satisfy their legitimate curiosity by taking it to some rough or vulgar friend.
St. Josemaria Escriva, Marriage: A Christian Vocation, Homily contained in Christ is Passing By
I like St. Josemaria Escriva.
Chesterton said Spaniards think like soldiers.
Anyway, when I started this post, I was planning to talk about a particular kind of story, and that is the story of the immigrant.
I like asking immigrants about their life before Canada ("B.C." if you like), because here's a group of people with fascinating stories to tell! The life of an immigrant is cleaved into two halves: there were the years before the move, and the years after.
In particular, I like to ask them about their line of work in their home country. How many times have I seen their faces light up when they begin to talk about this! "I was a farmer!" "I was a teacher!" It's so often the case that their work involved considerable effort, and gave them both identity and prestige. This identity and prestige can be lost to them when they start life over in a place where English is essential.
We'd feel something of the same loss, if we had to start life again in some foreign place where our previous workplace or educational credentials didn't count for much, and where we were unable to use our first language. We'd likewise probably be more than happy to tell anyone our story – our story about how, when we lived in Canada, we worked as a real estate agent, an editor, a lawyer.
I remember the man I met who works in the shoe section of a department store. I had a pile of receipts that needed to be reprocessed – it was some kind of mess involving returning this, repurchasing that, applying this discount and that credit – and I watched as his mind whirred really capably through all this. It prompted me to ask him what he did before Canada. As it turns out, he has a couple of Masters degrees and is currently working to get licensed here as a naturopath, if I remember correctly.
And then there was the fellow from Mongolia, who was a language professor there. In addition to Mongolian, he knows Arabic, Russian, Persian and a Chinese dialect which isn't Mandarin or Cantonese. I think there might have been one more language too. Anyway, he said that when he came to Canada, he knew only two phrases, "Hello" and "Thank you." (It must have felt odd to be able to speak so many languages and then live somewhere that you can't make a sentence.)
He's working as a house painter right now.
And as I think of Europe, I was surprised to see such huge numbers of migrants hawking goods there. The travel videos don't prepare you for that. The migrants I saw were from northern Africa.
The fascinating thing about these salesmen was that they all looked kind of the same, and they all acted the same. When I say they looked the same, I'm echoing Chesterton's words that "a nation is never a type, but it is nearly always a tangle of two or three roughly recognizable types." (Chapter V of his Saint Thomas Aquinas) They were all men, and they ranged in age from about 20 to 65. They had similar clothing, haircuts, accents, build and height.
And they all had the same product and the same approach. They would stand around in the areas which were thick with tourists, and they would approach them saying, "Selfie? Selfie-stick?" They were selling holders for cell phone cameras. The idea is that you put your camera into them, and then you can hold your camera further away from yourself. A tourist might want such a thing, in order to get more of the background into the photo. There were so many of these migrant salesmen that in some areas, you would be approached by one salesman every thirty seconds.
It was striking how they seemed to act as a unit. When a few drops of rain fell, it was all the same men, but all of a sudden, all the holders disappeared because now they were all selling umbrellas. "Umbrella? Umbrella?"
Where did all the umbrellas come from? Did they have them with them the whole time? It was like a magic trick.
I wondered how they were organized, because they obviously were. Someone must have gotten all those holders at a wholesale rate and distributed them to the salesmen. Someone planned that umbrellas would be part of their product line during rainy moments, and someone decided that near religious sights, they'd be selling the holders PLUS rosaries. And I wondered, could they really make any money at all selling these things? I did see some tourists purchasing them, but not many. Did they share their profits if they made any? Did they all live in the same area of the city, saving on rent by living in an over-crowded way? Were they married? Did they have children? How could they feed themselves on such a meagre income?
I thought it would be interesting to follow them around when they weren't being salesman, to see what their lives were like. I didn't do it obviously, but a person wonders about these mysterious people. Despite acting and looking roughly similar, each of those salesman has a unique story. I wonder, for starters, what conditions were like where they came from, that they'd prefer selling unnecessary goods to uninterested people.
And the stories of the people fleeing Syria and Iraq are almost surreal; people leading normal lives are transformed into refugees overnight as violence comes to their neighbourhoods. I don't know if 'civil war' is a particularly accurate way of describing the situation; it seems too lopsided to merit the name 'war.' Christians are being persecuted, tortured and killed. Sometimes crucifixion is used as the method of murder.
These are sad stories. They remind you of the flight of Mary and Joseph into Egypt. It will take a long time for these people to recover, and part of the recovery will involve finding new homes, experiencing once again a feeling of being 'home.'
Everyone needs that – the feeling of having a home, a little piece of the world that belongs to you, and that you belong to. The sensation that you don't fit, that you don't belong, in a world where everyone else seems to fit and seems to be going about their daily business, is very painful and disorienting.
It's easy to judge those who emigrate and don't seem to assimilate, but I think this process takes time, and I don't even know how much control you have over those feelings of nostalgia or homesickness. Would you be the type who could forget and 'move on' at a speed satisfactory to observers, or would you be the type who wants to socialize almost exclusively with the fellow Canadians that you find in a new land? I don't know if we can entirely predict our behaviour. One immigrant reflected that he was more eager to come to Canada than his wife was, but now he finds that she has settled in very well and would never think of returning, but that he misses his homeland. By contrast, my dentist said that upon returning back to Canada after a visit to his native country, he was surprised to notice how he felt like he was 'coming home.'
Certainly, the younger you are when the move happens, the more easily you are able to adapt. And here, I begin a lament. I worry for the families who come to Canada hoping for a better life, because there's more than one way to define "a better life."
So many people come to Canada for the sake of their children. I knew a woman who was separated from her husband and twin sons for ages before she was able to have them here. She missed years of their childhood years. How painful this must have been! I would see her week after week, and she was always waiting for the next hurdle to be overcome, the next notification of a step completed in the long bureaucratic process.
These parents don't dwell on the sacrifices that they have to make if it means that their children will have opportunities to have an education, a career and a normal family life. They are motivated by the love of their children.
They relinquish, in many cases, their own career-related prestige, but they urge their own children to excel academically, so that they can go to university and have a good career here in Canada. The Mongolian painter tells me that he says to his children that the day they start university will be the day that he gives them keys to their own vehicle "with zero kilometres!" (In other words, it'll be brand new.) It's so typical for immigrant parents to really push their children to excel.
He wants the "better life" for them, the happy ending to the story of the big move. And I want that ending too, for him and for all parents. The thing is, I'm not sure that modern-day Canada is going to provide the happy ending that they seek. After all, I live in a country which is changing at a break-neck pace, but change is not the same as progress.
Oversexed and Disneyfied mass media combined with a dumbed-down and agenda-driven educational system sweep everyone – but the young in particular – towards new ideals of hedonism, consumerism and relativism. Meanwhile, Canada's Supreme Court dismantles the moral structure of our society, one decision at a time, while the government shrugs its shoulders. For 25 years, we Canadians have been without any restrictions on abortion whatsoever, a fact which many Canadians don't even realize; this means that a nine-month old baby which is days away from being born can be killed in the womb without any penalty (and it does happen). Canada is one of only four nations in the world which allows this horrifying and barbaric practice, called 'late-term abortion':
It is bad enough that governments in China and North Korea employ forced late-term abortions. The United States and Canada should be ashamed of themselves for providing and promoting the same procedure which, when done elsewhere in the world, is regarded as a human rights violation.
-Rebecca Downs, LifeSite News, Aug 4, 2013
And on February 6th of this year, the Supreme Court struck down the laws prohibiting assisted suicide and euthanasia. These are two decisions among many which are destroying the foundation of our country. The Supreme Court is equipped with highly intelligent people, but as DiscerningOne says, "Intelligence isn't the same thing as wisdom."
The country that we offer to newcomers is a shell of what it was formerly, and I am not particularly inclined to expect and demand that newcomers assimilate and accept the values which are currently in fashion. We used to have a culture, but now we have 'bread and circuses,' a phrase explained well by Wikipedia:
This phrase originates from Rome in Satire X of the Roman satirical poet Juvenal (circa A.D. 100). In context, the Latin panem et circenses (bread and circuses) identifies the only remaining cares of a Roman populace which no longer cares for its historical birthright of political involvement. Here Juvenal displays his contempt for the declining heroism of contemporary Romans. Roman politicians passed laws in 140 B.C. to keep the votes of poorer citizens, by introducing a grain dole: giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", became the most effective way to rise to power.
-Wikipedia, panem et circenses
Indeed, my fear is almost that the children of these newcomers will assimilate. My fear is that they will all too readily absorb and revel in the cheap delights that our society offers to its young people. The parents, who naively think that their children go to school in order to learn academics, may find, to their dismay, that their children come home with a new attitude and a new set of values, entirely different from those of their parents. And on top of all this, these children sometimes become ashamed of their ancestry because it makes them 'different.' Do these parents, who have sacrificed so much, also lose the hearts and minds of their children? I truly hope that this isn't how the story ends, but in too many cases, this is the outcome. Dorothy Day lamented in 1952:
Tradition! We scarcely know the word any more. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington, all of a pattern . . . These are the attitudes the Irish, the Italians, the Lithuanian, the Slovak and all races begin to acquire in school. So they change their names, forget their birthplace, their language, and no longer listen to their mothers when they say, 'When I was a little girl in Russia, or Hungary, or Sicily.' They lose their cult and their culture and their skills, and leave their faith and folk songs and costumes and handicrafts, and try to be something which they call 'an American.'
-Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist, The Generations Before
I wish we had something better to offer the newcomers to Canada. I wish we could offer them the country that we used to have – a time when extended family would gather together in the living room and everyone would play instruments and sing and dance or at least tap their feet, a time when men wore hats and removed them whenever they wanted to show respect, a time when women had genuine community with each other, working together to make food and relaxing together to make quilts or something similar, a time when children played freely in the neighbourhood and churches organized dances and nativity plays. If we had that, then probably assimilation would be a positive thing.
I know that some places around the world still have robust cultures, and I almost want to weep when I hear what they still have and enjoy. I hear, for instance, how in Serbia, one of the honours of being best man is that he's the one who leads the kolo dance at the wedding reception (how fun!), and I hear how, in Russia, there's the day when Russian men give flowers to all the women (how poetic!). Such traditions! When I talked with the man who repaired my laptop, also an immigrant, about the decline of culture here in North America, he agreed and exclaimed that he never expected to hear such things from a Canadian. But I know that I'm not the only one with such sentiments; many Canadians fondly remember a time when 'tradition' was a good and powerful word.
It seems that we are in such a hurry to destroy everything that has any connection with the past. I can say with Chesterton that "It is true that I am of an older fashion; much that I love has been destroyed or sent into exile." (The Judgement of Dr. Johnson, Act III)
And indeed, "exile" is the right word. I live in the same city that I was born in, but I find that all around me, things are changing at a frenetic pace. I'm not opposed to natural development, but the current mania with overturning everything just because it's been done before is short-sighted and irresponsible. Where is the country that I remember from my childhood? Or for that matter, where is the country that I had three years ago? I can't help but wonder, if you leave the people in place, but destroy and exile the culture and values instead, doesn't that effectively make the populace homeless in an important way?
I haven't left my country; my country has left me!
Perhaps I have more in common with the migrant than I realized. Like them, I look around and don't recognize where I am anymore. The anthem that plays reminds me of an entirely different time, and if I sing, I sing for the sake of something that was, not something that is. I'm not proud of where my country is heading, and I wish we could turn it around; I wish I could go to the 'discard' pile and fish out all the things that are on the verge of extinction.
Maybe there will be enough people who want this that we'll see a revival of culture. I know that those who do homeschool their children are often very interested in preserving tradition, and I hear that gardening is the fastest growing hobby. Those who revive these things are swimming upstream.
So it's either go with the flow or swim against the current.
And hey, maybe there's a third option – maybe a person could just wait it out. What do you think? Maybe if I just wait long enough, everything will come full circle, and we'll all party like it's 1899.
Let me know when things are normal again.
I'll be over here in this corner with my beet soup.
Don't mind me.
It's just another case of homesickness. I'm nostalgic for the land I remember, the place we used to have.
That's my story.
And as I think along these lines, I am intrigued by the idea of a Christian as a pilgrim, as someone who, while appreciating what is here, is also not quite 'at home.' And at the end of the day, I suppose that even if a society is doing an excellent job of preserving its culture and living out its traditions, a full earthly life is still just a foretaste of heaven, and will still be incomplete and flawed. Every society has its problems, because every society is made up of fallible human beings.
The pilgrim concept goes a long way in explaining the sensation that things could fit a lot better than they do.
It says that our short time on earth isn't the whole story.
It says that there's another place that will feel a lot more like home, and that will be our happy ending.
And you know, it will be incredible. You'll ride your unicycle on the trapeze and I'll set up the picnic.
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
-Hebrews 13:2
Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.
-Ezekiel 39:28

BREAKING: Dozens trapped as landslide buries several vehicles near Risaralda in Colombia
Image of the landslide in Risaralda, Colombia. Credit: Government of Risaralda
A landslide near the town of Risaralda in Colombia buried several vehicles under tons of earth, including a bus carrying 31 passengers.
In the early hours of Sunday, December 4, a large landslide occurred on the road that leads from the municipality of Pueblo Rico, in Risaralda, to the town of Choco, in Colombia. Several vehicles were reportedly caught up in the event, including a public bus.
At least 31 passengers were travelling on the bus along the Cali – Condoto route. It became trapped in the landslide, along with other private vehicles which ended up underneath the fallen hillside as can be seen in video footage posted on Twitter El Pais Cali.
Ximena Carmona, the coordinator of Risk Management in Risaralda confirmed that the 31 bus passengers were rescued unharmed. Three other people were transferred to care centres with minor injuries she added.
"So far, we have three people who have arrived at the hospital in stable condition and two other people who arrived at the care centre by their own means. At the moment there are no reports of deaths", she said.
Relief agencies and the local authorities have continued responding to the emergency. Pereira Official Fire Department sent 10 USAR units and two canines to Pueblo Rico to support the rescue and earth removal efforts, as reported by caracol.com.co.

How the Metro Transit vote ran into a deep ditch
There are lessons from the results that led to Proposition 1's failure that could help shape the next steps in financing bus service for Seattle and King County.
Ben Anderstone
It's become the hot topic in any discussion of transit funding: Whither the King County suburbs?
Last month, initial results of King County's Proposition 1 vote indicated that the measure had received a beating outside of Seattle. In ensuing weeks, Seattle-based transit advocates announced "Plan C," a Seattle-specific effort to boost property taxes to stave off Metro cuts. The rationale was simple: If the suburban communities aren't interested in financing current Metro system, have Seattle go on its own.
"Plan C" has now received major pushback in the form of opposition from Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. "While there is no question that the region has failed Seattle on transit funding in recent years," Murray wrote in a Thursday press release, "it is equally true that transit is a regional issue that requires a regional solution." Regionalism, Murray announced, is a necessary component of any plan to earn his support.
That leaves a big question hanging. It's clear that the King County suburbs were not supportive of Prop. 1. But how deep does that discontent run? To start to answer that question, let's take a look at the Prop. 1 results, and analyze what King County voters were trying to signal with them.
A sea of red
It was clear on Election Night that suburban King County was rejecting Prop. 1.
We now know the full extent of the damage. Not only did the measure get thumped in the suburbs, but its losses versus previous transit measures were unusually concentrated outside of the urban core. Prop. 1 was billed as a "roads and transit" effort, in part to garner support from parts of King County with few public transit users. One thing is clear from these results: That didn't work.
First things first: Let's take a look at the raw results. The map below shows the Prop. 1 results by precinct (a level of detail that wasn't available before). Precincts in dark green were most supportive, while dark-red areas rejected the measure.
This map is, to put it lightly, mostly a sea of red — and much of that red is quite dark. Countywide, the measure received 46% of the vote. That showing was certainly buoyed by strong support in Seattle, where Prop. 1 passed 2-to-1. Normally, an overwhelming result in Seattle is enough to carry an election countywide. Not this time: the rest of King County voted, by a nearly identical measure, against Prop. 1. Even with relatively strong turnout, Seattle was only 38% of King County votes. City votes were effectively neutralized.
Outside of Seattle, green areas are thin on the ground. Vashon Island, to be sure, was nearly as supportive as the city. Lake Forest Park very narrowly voted yes, as did many parts of Mercer Island and Shoreline. Bellevue and Redmond had pockets of support downtown, and in areas loaded with apartment dwellers. A few other cities had or two supporting precincts in their most urbanized parts.
Disenchanting the suburbs
So, what happened? The first point to make is that support was mostly isolated to areas where transit is a viable option for everyday living. This can be demonstrated any number of ways. One of the more fascinating efforts was by Brandon Martin-Anderson of Conveyal. Martin-Anderson created this excellent map, showing the number of jobs accessible by public transit commute on any given weekday morning. Dark blue areas can reach over 500,000 jobs in an hour's transit time; dark red areas, fewer than 10,000.
With a few exceptions, this map lines up extremely well with the Prop. 1 results — down to the pockets of support in Mercer Island, Bellevue, Redmond and Shoreline. Looking at this comparison, a reasonable person might reach an easy conclusion: Car-loving suburbanites just aren't willing to foot the bill for public transportation.
There are two problems with this analysis. The first is that there are car-dependent portions of Seattle — especially West Seattle and North Seattle — where Proposition 1 did just fine. In my car-dependent, north Seattle home 'hood, Hawthorne Hills, the measure received 70% of the vote, even though U.S. Census reports indicate that car ownership is nearly universal here. Plenty of car users voted for Prop. 1. It just appears that, outside of Seattle, they were in the clear minority.
The second problem with the "unwilling suburbanites" angle: The suburbs have voted for transit before. In 2008, a Sound Transit proposition was overwhelmingly approved by voters across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. In the parts of King County where it was on the ballot, the Sound Transit measure decisively outpaced this year's. That included resounding wins in some suburban communities.
Take a look at this table, showing the relative performance of 2008's Sound Transit measure versus this year's Metro Transit proposition.
The figures are staggering. Losses were modest in Seattle, with support for the 2008 vote at 70% and support for the 2014 vote at 67%. On the other hand, the "yes" support in Auburn dropped by more than half, from 47% in 2008 to a paltry 23% this year.
In most of King County, it's obvious that Prop. 1 lost a huge chunk of voters that were supportive of Sound Transit in 2008.
These were different measures, of course, but that's very much the point. There was something in this year's proposal — whether it be car tabs, the focus on bus transit or Metro Transit itself — that alienated suburban voters. The result was a marked decline of support that cannot simply be attributed to anti-transit sentiments. We've seen turnarounds on transit issues before — Sound Transit's 2008 success followed a 2007 loss — but never before have attitudes between so polarized between the city and suburbs.
That leaves transit advocates with a dilemma: Do they hone their message for the broader region, or narrow their focus to supportive Seattle? That question is likely to weigh heavily on the debate around "Plan C" — and could send transit advocates even further into the alphabetic reaches.

Shopping for a Disc Jockey in Raleigh, NC?
The Disc Jockey for your Raleigh event should have at least 2-5 years experience performing at events similar to yours. The more experienced, the better it is for you!
If the service isn't covered, you could be held liable for any damages or injuries caused by the Disc Jockey. Some Raleigh, NC locations won't let an uninsured Disc Jockey perform in their facility. Ask for proof of coverage.
If the Disc Jockey you hire doesn't have back-up gear on site while in Raleigh, you may not have music if the main equipment fails. The answer should be "Yes!"
The answer must be "Yes." If the service you hire doesn't have a back-up Disc Jockey on hand or on call for your Raleigh, NC gathering, you could be left without a Disc Jockey on the day of your event.
The cheapest Disc Jockey is rarely the best value. The Disc Jockey sets the tone of your event and holds the power to entertain or turn off your guests. Don't chance ruining fine catering, decorations, flowers, and photography in Raleigh by trying to save a few dollars with a Raleigh Discount Disc Jockey.
The answer should be: Modern, professional, equipment that looks and sounds great. The gear should be newer, professional equipment that is capable of handling a Raleigh event the size that you are having. It should be presented attractively so it will complement your decorations and flowers. And it should be set up prior to your guests arriving. Guaranteed.
The answers should be "Yes" and "Yes." A Disc Jockey's #1 priority is blending the music to please a wide variety of musical tastes and age groups. The Disc Jockey you hire for your special day in Raleigh needs to have the maturity, experience, and knowledge to "read" your crowd and then play in accordance with their wishes and receptivity. And naturally, a proficient Disc Jockey must be able to handle requests.
The answer should be "Gladly!" You probably won't hire other vendors who service Raleigh, NC without obtaining references from previous their previous clients. Don't hire a Disc Jockey without doing the same.
Can I meet with the Disc Jockey who will perform at our event in Raleigh?
The answers should be, "Definitely," and "However you would like to." Unless you have a detailed contract, you really don't have a Disc Jockey service secured for your gathering in Raleigh! You should also have payment options available.

russia November 21, 2018 russia, Россия
The main obstacles will be the weak linkages between the lack of financing and the evaluation criteria, and the global objectives of national projects will be taken into account by the regional authorities
Photo: Valery Matytsin / TASS
Russia's regions will reduce the "higher" references given by the national Council to national-level projects seven times between 115 and 22 years, found by Kommersant. The regional authorities also criticize the weakness of the established national feasibility criteria and their global goals.
The regional elections include comments on national projects, which were prepared by the National Council team on November 23 (a copy of the report is available). The State Council is under the Russian President's consultative body, chief of the heads of federation professors. Its main function is to ensure coordinated work of state institutions and regions.
Putin called on the ministers to "go without sleeping" when they were doing national projects
The report prepared by the work group was also evaluating the viability of each national project. One of them – The national project "Housing" was recognized by the regions as it was impossible to allocate funding. Four more national projects – the digital economy, science, culture and exports support – are executable as executable.
The feasibility evaluation of other national projects (including 13 of them, including a comprehensive spinal development plan) is not directly in the document. "Kommersant", however, points out that the opinion on the national ecological project is "quite positive" and national projects that support labor productivity and small and medium-sized enterprises "criticize the dissatisfaction of ideas and understanding."
In particular, the authors of the document indicate that the shareholding of small and medium-sized businesses in the GDP should not increase beyond 10-20 years, and that the first national project may be one or two years before the year 2024.
The Government will send more than 5.5 trillion rubles to national projects in three years.
However, most of the claims of the regions are financing. Governors are afraid of the disagreement between the national projects and the financing of passports and planned until 2021, to finance the execution of national regional budget projects, as Kommersant says. Likewise, there is also a systemic disagreement between the national feasibility of national project projects and national targets, especially in educational and health projects.
Among other regional objects, there is a lack of a regulatory framework and the objectives of national projects are not harmonized.
The report also lists the possible risks that impede implementation. For example, seismic activity in the region refers to the risks of establishing a national project on housing markets in kamchatka. Another risk (not only the housing market project, but also the risk of other national projects) may be a high-potential construction activity that may affect the labor market due to a shortage of construction materials.
The Chamber of Accounts noted in advance that the expenditure indicated in national projects significantly exceeds the budgeted investment funds. The total amount of federal budget expenditures is 13 national passport passports, 14.91 trillion rubles. six years However, the federal budget does not include all the resources. Discordance is 1.2 trillion rubles. In 2019-2021 years.
The director of the Treasury Department, Anton Siluanov, pointed out in mid-October that the major departments did not present financing proposals for all national projects and had a good distribution of regional funds.
