MOOC (or Massive Open Online Course)

So I'm home-schooled and for one of my 'classes' I took this free online course with Coursera about poetry.  It was called ModPo (or Modern and Contemporary Poetry).  I loved it!!  It just ended this week and I can't wait til' next year.  It has brought poetry to a whole new level for me.  Thanks to the Proffesor and TA's (Teaching Assistant's - they should be called ATA's Awesome Teaching Assistant's) who put a bunch of their time into the course.  Not only to I get to explore poetry (which is something I honestly never thought I'd enjoy), but I also got to meet people from around the world.  So.... Yeah, I can not wait for next year.  Why don't you join me - explore poetry, learn, meet hundreds of wonderful people, get caught up in the ModPo 'Vacuum' and just plain enjoy yourself?  Go Here to join, can't wait to see you there!!

Kwanzaa

  Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration held in the United States (and more recently, Canada) but also celebrated in the Western African Diaspora. The celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture, and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving. It is ideological, with seven core principles (Nguzo Saba): Umoja - Unity, Kujichugalia - Self-determination, Ujima - Collective work and Responsibility, Ujamaa -  Cooperative economics, Nia - Purpose, Kuumba - Creativity, and Imani - Faith. It was created by Maulana Karenga, and was first celebrated in 1966–67.This year Kwanzaa starts on Wednesday, December 26 and ends Tuesday, January 1.

Parable of 2 Cows

The Political Outcast put these together from an article in The Chicago Daily Tribune in 1938.  Thought it was something people need to see, so here it is:

BUREAUCRACY:  You have two cows. The government takes both cows, loses one while giving the cow to people who don’t know anything about cows because that’s what the regulations told them to do.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

COMMUNISM (1): You have two cows. The government takes both of them and gives you some of the milk.

COMMUNISM (2): You have two cows. The government takes both cows. The government sells the milk in government stores. You can’t afford the milk. You starve to death.

COMMUNISM (3): You have two cows. The State takes both, and gives you a little milk . . .  once.

COMMUNISM (4): You have two cows. The government takes both and gives you spoiled milk.
 
CUBAN COMMUNISM: You no longer have any cows. You risk your life by escaping from Cuba so you can buy some cows and a bull in Miami.

DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both cows and drafts you to make sure he stays in power.

FASCISM: You have two cows. You give the milk to the government and the government sells it.

FREE ENTERPRISE: You have two cows. They get jobs working for Chick-fil-A for the company’s “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign. The chickens get upset and call for a boycott.

LIBERALISM: You have two cows. You sell both of them to the rich. The government then taxes the rich the price of one cow and gives it to the poor who slaughter it. When they finish eating it, they demand the other cow.

NEW DEAL LIBERALISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and pours the milk down the drain insisting there is a giant storage tank where all the milk goes. Think Social Security.

POLITICAL CORRECTISM: The idea of “ownership’ is a holdover from the pre-Enlightenment era. Humans and cows are equal. The use of the word “cow” is demeaning. Cows should be allowed to vote.
