  Bitte lesen. Danke.

  Aus einem Kommentar:

  “In einer Gesellschaft, in der Unternehmertum gesellschaftlich mindestens genauso hoch angesehen ist wie Bildung und intellektueller Erfolg, werden vorrangig die Chancen des Internets gesehen (USA, Schweden).

  In einer Gesellschaft, in der klassische Bildung das Maß aller Dinge ist und einem Ansehen und Einfluss garantiert, werden vorrangig die negativen Aspekte des Webs hervorgehoben. Wie in Deutschland.”

  Genau das denke ich nämlich auch.

  The Toxic Exotic

   » ‎ Words Much Like Poetry
  I chase careless twirls with my eyes,
  as they merge with invisible mists,
  they conspire in whispers
  to capture my very soul.
  
  my soul will belong to her,
  the toxic exotic
  she has stolen my reverie,
  with baneful enticement.
  
  my ruthless wonder has poisoned me,
  there is no nostrum,
  her breath is of musky inhalations
  and a fragrance of fairy woods.
  
  she renders me breathless, quick looks
  with her bewitching brown gaze,
  they have an unconventional glimmer,
  la femme fatale has made me her willing prisoner.

  Tags:  Kenyan PoliticsBusiness  

  I’ve said here before that the Kenyan economy does not make sense to me.  However, I will reverse that statement by saying that it does in fact make sense.  It makes sense if I define it not as a capitalistic society, but rather, as a society that has fooled itself into believing that crony capitalism [...]

  Stay away from pretty boys…or is it unpretty boys in pretty cars?

   » ‎ STONE COLD HAVEN
  As a young girl, ask any seasoned mother for advice about boys and heartbreaks, and she’ll tell you with a tint of reflective self regret – “Avoid the pretty boys”. Now, I’m not advocating here for the paid up, card carrying members of the “Girl’s ignore me coz’ I’m ugly society”, but it’s a [...]
