How do the faces of soldiers change — before, during, and then after, war? Can we detect profound or subtle psychological shifts just by looking at their portraits?
This is precisely the challenge that Claire Felicie presents with her series of triptych portraits of marines of the 13th infantry company of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. The series, Here are the Young Men (Marked), shows close-cropped portraits of the Dutch marines before, during and after they were deployed to Uruzgan, Afghanistan in 2009-2010.
Without doubt, every viewer will project a bit of himself or herself into the readings of these photographs. No matter what conclusions you draw, the images are compelling.

JOHNNY ROTTEN: “I LOVE CHEMICAL IMBALANCES” November 7, 2012
Mr. Rotten, how often do you brush your teeth?
I thought that if I replaced them I’d never have to use a toothbrush ever again! (Laughs)
I am not sure it works like that. There is one missing quite prominently.
I paid a lot of money to have my teeth fixed because they were making me seriously ill. I found out that a great deal of the amount of time I spent ill was because of my teeth. So I had to do something really serious, and it cost me a lot of money. Within a week of having all these put it, they’re all false, I broke this on a cherry stone. I thought, “Fuck that, I’m not going back and having all that operation on my gum ever again.”
Do you fear illness?
Fear? Well I had meningitis that put me in a coma for three months and when I came out of that I had no memory of anything. I didn’t know my parents, didn’t know my own name, and I never want to wake up and feel that pain ever again. That’s a constant problem to me. Getting to sleep at night it’s always there: “What will that be like if that ever happens again.” That never goes away, that feeling.
You are known for your terrible behavior. Was there something special in your childhood that caused you to act out like that?
I refused to go on holiday with my parents from a very early age, you know 13 or 14, because I used to be terrifically embarrassed towards my dad’s proclivity towards taking his clothes off and running around naked. He’d do it for a laugh, but it used to really, really annoy and upset me.
Anything else?
I remember catching my mom and dad having sex and it ruined me for about a year. You know? It does, it affects you badly. It’s something that should be kept private, that side of it, because a child’s mind can’t cope with what that is. I remember my mom going, “Oh, no, oh, no,” and I thought my dad was killing her.
Some would say you might have embarrassed your parents in public. You certainly provoked a lot of people…
Yeah, sometimes deliberately in real life and sometimes not. Sometimes when I mean nothing but good things, it seems to really, really infuriate a lot of people. I’ve had the rare privilege in life of offending everyone all at the same time. Joyous moments! Only Johnny Rotten can do that.
The older you get, do you see yourself more as John Lydon or Johnny Rotten?
It’s the same thing. Sometimes there’s a devil in me that just wants to be a down and dirty, nasty bastard.
And that never went away?
No! You know that old expression where there’s a devil on your shoulder telling you to do this and there’s an angel on the other. I think we all have this in our own heads, all of the time. And there’s a Johnny Rotten in all of you! There really is and you know it.
Is there anybody you can think of in the current music industry that resembles punk rock, even just a little bit?
I suppose the joy of Lady Gaga. Her audience likes to dress up and enjoys the pantomime of it. The songs stink, the music stinks, but the lyrics are kind of sharp and witty. I like that. You see, Lady Gaga is quite an ugly person, but she’s made herself beautiful by going to the furthest extreme. And that’s what punk did, you know?
When you look at the people topping the charts these days, does what has happened to the music industry make you upset?
No, I’m not pissed off. I mean, if that’s what people want to do with their lives, fine. I find it kind of amusing, really. But I don’t find any hope in the tedium of what’s in the charts at the moment. The only rebellion left in the young people that seem to be records that sell these days is sex scandals and gossip about each other. Or desperately trying to be drug addicts – and failing even at that! You know? It’s such an old, tired, worn-out pattern to be emulating. Sorry Pete Doherty! But, you know, you’re a mug. (Laughs)
Have you taken a step back from the excessive lifestyle?
I haven’t! I’m no Puritan, not by any stretch. I’m quite comfortable doing what I do and I see no need to cease anything. I’m not habitual. I could never be addicted to a substance, because I get bored with doing the same thing over and over. It amazes me when I hear of drug addicts. Don’t they get bored? What next? Done that.
Taking a wide variety of drugs isn’t necessarily healthier than just doing the same drug all the time…
I love chemical imbalances.
Looking back at the outrage your behavior often created, is there anything where you think you might have taken it too far?
To be quite frank I haven’t stopped being a saucy bastard – and I don’t intend to. I’m still getting in trouble and I still act like a silly kid. I don’t want to grow up. I like being childish, I do, because I don’t like what adults do to this world. I like what kids come up with, I don’t like what adults create.
When was the last time you got into trouble?
I can’t tell you other than it involved international travel. (Laughs) But I’m accused all the time of, I don’t know, acts of nonsense and they’re all lies.
Mick Jagger said that dwelling on the past for longer than twenty minutes is just boring. Do you remember your past with fondness?
I don’t view anything as my past, because my life is continuing, but what I’ve done then and what I’m doing now and what I will do in the future are all part of the same thing. I do not separate and categorize. Poor old Mick if he goes, “That’s my past.” That’s a bit sad of him, really, isn’t it? He should be saying, “That’s me, all of it. That’s me continuing to develop as a human being.” I don’t have any downward strokes on any part of my existence. It’s all been a wonderful ride so far and I’m only 54 years young.
Aren’t you 55?
(Laughs) So even on that I’m fibbing. I don’t even know my own age! But I think I’ve got another half century to live. I view it that way. I’ve only really just started out in life.
In his suicide letter, Hunter S. Thompson wrote that life became unbearable past the age of 50.
That’s ridiculous. The only thing you have in life is life. To eliminate that from yourself is, I think, the ultimate stupidity. I don’t care if both legs fall off and there’s only one eyeball left and I’m on a stomach pump and a colostomy bag, I want life!

Chasm / Britain, could be a "Hong Kong to Europe's China, or a Canada to Europe's U.S.
« on: November 20, 2012, 01:02:03 PM »
BRUSSELS (AP) — Goodbye Britain?
For the European Union, a once-unthinkable question is looking more like a real possibility with each new grinding week of economic crisis. The reason is that bad times are forcing the 17 EU nations that use the euro currency to move ever closer toward some kind of United States of Europe — one that could make decisions about how much member countries spend and how much tax they collect.
If ever Britain had a nightmare, that's it. The British public shows no interest in moving closer to the rest of Europe, and most can't even seem to stomach the status quo. The real question these days appears to be whether to drift away or break away abruptly.
After a 2015 election, Britain — among 10 of the 27 EU nations that don't use the euro — is likely to hold a referendum on whether to leave the EU. Even if it doesn't hold a vote, the country is already unpicking its ties with Europe, a movement that has unsettled Germany, which is eager to retain the U.K. as an important economic driver of the bloc.
"I will ask the inhabitants of the wonderful island to reflect that they will not be happy if they are alone in this world," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a speech before visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron last week in London.
Her outreach, however, has little impact here. British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who once toured the U.K. on a "Save The Pound" campaign that opposed the euro, believes the British public has never been more skeptical of European unity.
"Public disillusionment with the EU in Britain is the deepest it has ever been," he said last month. "People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say."
Such distrust is tangled with worries over the fallout from the European debt crisis and anger at the European Court of Human Rights — castigated by British politicians for ordering Britain to give prisoners a vote in national elections, and preventing the U.K. from deporting terrorism suspects to countries with patchy human rights records.
Even more alarming for many in Britain, Merkel called last week for turning the European Commission, which currently drafts legislation and regulates competition, into "something like a European government." The phrase alone rattles the teeth of many British politicians, who have warned for decades of the specter of a European superstate.
"Withdrawing from the EU can no longer be dismissed as unthinkable. It is no longer a marginal view confined to mavericks, but a legitimate point that is starting to go mainstream," Douglas Carswell, a legislator with Cameron's Conservative Party, told Parliament as it debated the idea of leaving the EU.
Last month, Cameron faced a huge rebellion within his own party as 81 of the 303 Conservative lawmakers defied his orders and voted to hold an urgent referendum on EU membership in 2015. Under pressure from his own party and watching nervously as his traditional supporters are wooed by UKIP, a minority political party that advocates EU withdrawal, Cameron is expected to eventually offer Britain its first referendum about staying in the EU since 1973. The opposition Labour Party says it too would back holding a vote — but only when the eurozone crisis has come to an end.
Even without a decisive split, there are signs already of the diverging paths of Britain and the EU: — Because Britain does not use the euro, it has no voice in the decisions that affect the 17-member eurozone. It is worth remembering that all but three EU countries — the UK, Denmark and Sweden — are committed to using the euro eventually. So the eurozone meetings could one day be meetings of almost the entire European Union, with only three member states excluded.
— In March, 25 EU members signed a Fiscal Compact to provide for stronger oversight of national budgets. The two that didn't sign? The Czech Republic and Britain. — In October, 11 EU countries decided to go ahead with a tax on financial transactions. EU officials predict the number of participants will swell to more than 20. Britain will not be among them.
— Next year, EU officials will be working to set up a single banking supervisor for banks in countries that use the euro. Britain has said it is concerned about the prospect of decisions being made over which it has no say.
— Britain is planning to opt out of 130 European agreements on crime and justice — hoping to instead pick and choose how and when it cooperates with its neighbors on law enforcement. The decision would risk undermining the European Arrest Warrant system, which allows police to reach across European borders to easily arrests fugitive suspects.
The trend has political leaders in other countries worried. "If the eurozone is much more integrated and those outside are far away, the distance can become too wide and too large," Andreas Mavroyiannis, Cyprus' deputy minister for European Affairs, told The Associated Press. And that, he said, would be dangerous for the EU as a whole.
Officials in Brussels are deeply concerned, as well. "Probably rightly, I've been called an Anglophile," Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, said in a magazine interview this summer. "I believe that Europe without Britain at the heart will be less reform-driven, less open, less an international Europe. That is why sometimes when I look at the debate in the U.K., I ask myself: 'How is it that this country is so open to the world, and apparently so closed to Europe?' It seems a contradiction."
The prospect of a British exit from the EU alarms some British business leaders, who see the bloc's free markets as vital to their nation's prosperity. "Whatever the popular appeal may be of withdrawal, businessmen and politicians must keep a bridge firmly in place," said Roger Carr, the president of the Confederation of British Industry, the nation's biggest business lobby.
"As countries of Europe bind together in pursuit of salvation, we in the U.K. must work harder to avoid the risks of isolation." Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who left office in 2007 before the debt crisis struck, is another lonely advocate for British leadership in Europe.
"The 21st century case for Europe is based not on war or peace but on power or irrelevance," Blair said last month. "Europe carries weight, multiplies opportunity and makes sense for its individual nations."
He has urged Britain's government not to walk away, but to help build a new structure to help Europe balance the competing demands of the 17 eurozone nations and the remainder of the European Union. "It is a very tricky task. But it is an essential one if the U.K. is not to be sidelined," Blair said.
Peter Mandelson, a former member of Blair's Cabinet and ex-European Union trade commissioner, warns that going it alone would mean waning influence for Britain on the global stage. Britain, he said, soon could be a "Hong Kong to Europe's China, or a Canada to Europe's United States."

Chasm / Henry David Thoreau
« on: July 12, 2012, 05:58:38 PM »
Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.
Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs.
He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience later influenced the political thoughts and actions of such notable figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thoreau is sometimes cited as an anarchist, though Civil Disobedience seems to call for improving rather than abolishing government—"I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government"—the direction of this improvement points toward anarchism: "'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have." Richard Drinnon partly blames Thoreau for the ambiguity, noting that Thoreau's "sly satire, his liking for wide margins for his writing, and his fondness for paradox provided ammunition for widely divergent interpretations of 'Civil Disobedience.'

Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs.
He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown.

Chasm / Re: A horse in the night

Horses of Achilles.
When they saw Patroklos dead,
that was so brave, strong and young
the horses of Achilles began to mourn
their immortal natures were outraged
for this way the death contemplated
They shook their heads and waved their long manes
beat the ground with their feet and wept Patroclus
the inanimate felt - destroyed
misery flesh - spirit now gone -
helpless, breathless
returned from the lives of the great Nothing.
Zeus saw the tears of the immortals
tears horses. "At the wedding of Peleus" said
"well I should not act rashly;
I'd better not given my horses
for unhappy! What were you looking down there
between the misery of the humanity that twist of fate.
To you that death lies, nor old age
ephemeral woes haunt you. In his sufferings
will mixed humans. "'But your tears
still shedding the two noble animals
Unfortunately for the endless death.
