In Denmark, a Model for Muslim Immigration and Integration - Room for Debate
Denmark's open and free debate on the cultural changes being brought about by immigration by Islamic people should be a model for the rest of Europe."Historically, people have moved around Europe for thousands of years, and the region and its ethnic groups have, in general, been welcoming and tolerant."
Not a promising start.I can't count the wars of conquest. I really don't want to.The only invaders with an invitation I can think of are the Russ.Yes, the Danes have learned to talk. It was not easy for them.
We must dig a bit deeper into the generational problems of Islam. -
How Parents Can Talk About Their Pasts - Room for Debate
What parents should reveal about.Children are dependent on their parents. They figure that out early.They watch, listen and remember. They are not moral and they are not generous. These things are learned later if at all. They will act for the best deal they can discover. We love them unreservedly. We try to act for their best interests. Our destruction is not in their best interest nor is their destruction.I am not a participant. Blackmail is not good for anyone. -

In Denmark, a Model for Muslim Immigration and Integration - Room for Debate
Denmark's open and free debate on the cultural changes being brought about by immigration by Islamic people should be a model for the rest of Europe.This is a very hopeful view.Their alternatives are really Assimilation, emigration or conquest.There is really no other way.

College Doesn't Create Success - Room for Debate
Before long, spending four years in a lecture hall with a hangover will be revealed as an antiquated debt-fueled luxury good.A gentleman's 'C' was and is the mark given for no real effort beyond showing up. It is not a passing grade for admission to graduate study or in it. It never has been. -

State of Paralysis
Mr. Krugman,There are so many problems with your column that I could spend hours responding so let me just focus on one faulty premis...This commenter is a troll."you have to wonder if California’s political paralysis foreshadows the future of the nation as a whole."The legislature has not been able to change the tax code or the tax rate. The taxes collected will not cover the costs of government. Borrowing to cover these costs is not permitted in the state.
Paul Krugman Made a very good call. The Republican party is just as mad as he thought they might be.Krugman has repeatedly proven every point he makes in this essay.I will do the searches if you wish. You must repostState of Paralysis
Another day.What Krugman says is California is broke because of Proposition 13 and the rule that it takes a 2/3 majority to change the tax code.The U.S. could go the way it has gone, following the Californian example.The rest of Mark Miles is not in the Krugman Op Ed.

Has Globalization Ruined Street Style? - Room for Debate
While some cities have a unique fashion sense, others seem oddly familiar. Is the Internet to blame?
Publication and replication have nothing to do with Street Style.

Drawing a Distinction
Adriano Sack, publisher, I Like My Style Quarterly
He is looking at something quite different.
Variability of a style will drive evolution in fashion.
Street Style is original and personal. Fashion is neither.

The Homogenization Effect
Valerie Steele, Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology
She is a curator and has trouble with the language.
Originality can't be collected.
If it is not personal it is not Street.

Enabling Style
Tommy Ton, photographer
Originality, not following, is the essence of Street Style.
Once published it is just style.

Letter From Istanbul
“Thus spake @NYTimesFriedman: #Erdogan's #Turkey "joining the #Hamas-#Hezbollah-#Iran resistance front against #Israel" http://nyti.ms/cnoTj7”
Thomas Friedman indulges in wishful thinking again.
Erdogan is playing a Turkish game of power. We must tolerate it or treat Turkey as Iran has been treated. Political Islam is ascendant over the secularism of Ataturk.
Our culture will win eventually.
I would rather see it do so without a religious war.
The Turks in imperial mode are not good neighbours.

City Orders Evacuation of Coastal Areas
I hope Mayor Mike is being excessively cautious.
The forecast does not look that bad here now.

Books
Italian soldiers killed during an Austrian attack in the mountains near Cividale, circa 1917.
I have no context for this picture. Found it.
“To End All Wars,” Adam Hochschild
"Even that might be an optimistic reading: the post-1918 frontiers of the former Ottoman Empire (one of the four great thrones that did not outlast the “First” World War) are still a suppurating source of violence and embitterment."
Making the peace killed Wilson. It made Hoover. There is more thinking to be done.

Dismantling the E.P.A. Would Not Be Easy - Room for Debate
Republicans created the E.P.A. to increase efficiency. Now they want to abolish it for the same reason.
"When people hostile to government are put in charge, it’s seldom to make government more efficient, no matter what they say." -
The Right Preparation for Lawyer-Citizens - Room for Debate
The crude model of a legal trade school is a disservice to students; law school is more than test preparation and rote memorization.
This man takes a very narrow view of the legal trade. Law school has the primary purpose of getting the student ready for the bar exam. Admission to the bar is necessary to practice law for hire. If a life of public service is ones goal a degree in philosophy might be more useful.
Education is good no matter what the speciality.
Lawyers run politics and tend not to respect non-lawyers.
If you want to play the club game, joining the club is a good first step. -
No E.P.A.? Welcome Back Smog - Room for Debate
It’s actually the E.P.A.’s cautiousness, and not over-zealotry, where it has taken its lumps.
Change is never popular with management. They have to think.

A Culture of 'Perform Yourself' - Room for Debate
The ubiquity of digital spectacles and curiosities today is one reason performance art has had its thunder stolen.
Performance art has never stopped thundering. Replication is almost never art. -
