Newspaper editors, journalists or mass communication students need not be told about the importance of press freedom or their responsibility in observing the virtues of peace in their writing. Yet, in many parts of the world today, it seems that some are unaware of the articulate and strong connection between the two. From a theoretical standpoint, a free press promotes peace so creating a universally free press would promote universal peace. Obviously, the bridge between the two is democracy.
To political science or sociology students, democracy is indeed a complex term that requires elaborate definition. Many would prefer to define democracy by certain rights such as that of voting and the secret ballot, of being able to run for any political office, including the highest, and of freedom of speech. Of course, the latter means not only the freedom to publish criticism of the government, but other aspects of everyday living as well. With the exception of war times, censorship and democracy are totally incompatible.
A look at the present governments of many countries can tell us that the most democratic have the media that enjoys the most freedom while the least democratic have the least free media. Indeed, it is an inconceivable relationship because it could actually be otherwise. Plainly, a free press is essential to democracy,thus promoting freedom of the press also promotes democracy. If we follow that line of argument such as in any critical thinking class ;), a way to democracy is by working to create a free press. Don't you agree?
Did you realize that democracies do not make war on each other? There has been no war and virtually no threat of violence between any two countries that are democratic, at least not that I am aware of anyway. Normally, most wars occur between the least free countries. Of the about 167 sovereign nations in the world today, 60 of them democracies which have not had any war between them or even the threat of war; in fact, none of these democracies arm against each other. Not one. In its long, bloody history, for example, Western Europe is finally at peace. There is not even any expectation of war whatsoever among these countries. Note that Western Europe is also almost totally democratic.
Secondly, if one were to study the history of the different democracies, one can see that such countries tend to have the least internal violence (riots, revolutions, guerrilla warfare, civil war); in other words, those countries with the least freedom tend to have the most violence!!
Finally, democratic governments just do not kill their own citizens except for the most reprehensible civil crimes but the least free tend to kill their citizens by the millions for political, religious, or racial reasons. It is undeniable that genocide and totalitarianism are almost synonymous.
Let's take a look at some shocking statistics:
*Hitler may have slaughtered as many as 14,000,000 people, including nearly 5,000,000 Jews;
*Stalin surely outdid him by murdering well over 20,000,000;
*Mao Tse-Tung possibly liquidated even more;
*Pol Pot in Cambodia exterminated around 2,000,000 Cambodians;
*the Young Turks killed over 1,000,000 Armenians during World War I.
* Let us not forget the the massacres in Ethiopia, Vietnam, Syria, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Indonesia, East Pakistan, and elsewhere.
A twentieth century, global blood bath of over 100,000,000; over 140,000,000 people when battle-deaths in foreign and domestic wars are included. Let us bear in mind that not one of those millions were killed in a war or violence between democracies. Few, if any, citizens of a democracy have been killed by their own government for other than civil crimes like murder .
It should be clear that democratic governments have a very important role to promote nonviolence and world peace. If every country in the world practises democracy, based on the lessons learned from history and contemporary events, we would eliminate domestic violence and many other senseless killings.
The conclusion is evident. If any one country advances freedom of the press, one is developing and furthering democracy and spreading the freedom of the press actually promotes world peace. The reverse logic is also true so I rest my case. Just as without democracies, there will be war, without freedom of the press, democracies cannot exist. Those in the media industry and even citizens everywhere should realize this simple equation. So do we have a free press? In other words.....

A total of 24 states allow voters to change laws on their own by collecting signatures and putting initiatives on the ballot. It's healthy that the entrenched political class should face some real legislative competition from initiative-toting citizens. Unfortunately, some special interests have declared war on the initiative process, using tactics ranging from restrictive laws to outright thuggery.
The initiative is a reform born out of the Progressive Era, when there was general agreement that powerful interests had too much influence over legislators. It was adopted by most states in the Midwest and West, including Ohio and California. It was largely rejected by Eastern states, which were dominated by political machines, and in the South, where Jim Crow legislators feared giving more power to ordinary people.
But more power to ordinary people remains unpopular in some quarters, and nothing illustrates the war on the initiative more than the reaction to Ward Connerly's measures to ban racial quotas and preferences. The former University of California regent has convinced three liberal states -- California, Washington and Michigan -- to approve race-neutral government policies in public hiring, contracting and university admissions. He also prodded Florida lawmakers into passing such a law. This year his American Civil Rights Institute (ACRI) aimed to make the ballot in five more states. But thanks to strong-arm tactics, the initiative has only made the ballot in Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska.
"The key to defeating the initiative is to keep it off the ballot in the first place," says Donna Stern, Midwest director for the Detroit-based By Any Means Necessary (BAMN). "That's the only way we're going to win." Her group's name certainly describes the tactics that are being used to thwart Mr. Connerly.
Aggressive legal challenges have bordered on the absurd, going so far as to claim that a blank line on one petition was a "duplicate" of another blank line on another petition and thus evidence of fraud. In Missouri, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan completely rewrote the initiative's ballot summary to portray it in a negative light. By the time courts ruled she had overstepped her authority, there wasn't enough time to collect sufficient signatures.
Those who did circulate petitions faced bizarre obstacles. In Kansas City, a petitioner was arrested for collecting signatures outside of a public library. Officials finally allowed petitioners a table inside the library but forbade them to talk. In Nebraska, a group in favor of racial preferences ran a radio ad that warned that those who signed the "deceptive" petition "could be at risk for identity theft, robbery, and much worse."
Mr. Connerly says that it's ironic that those who claim to believe in "people power" want to keep people from voting on his proposal: "Their tactics challenge the legitimacy of our system."
He's not alone. Liberal columnist Anne Denogean of the Tucson Citizen opposes the Connerly initiative, but last month she wrote that BAMN "is showing a disgusting lack of respect for the democratic process and the right of all Arizonans to participate in it." She detailed how members of this organization harass petitioners and film people who sign the petition, while telling them they are backing a racist measure.
The police had to be called when BAMN blocked the entrance of a Phoenix office where circulators had to deliver their petitions. "BAMN's tactics," she concluded, "resemble those used by anti-abortion activists to prevent women from entering abortion clinics."
But BAMN proudly posts videos on its success in scaring away voters, or convincing circulators to hand over their petitions to its shock troops. "If you give me your signatures, we'll leave you alone," says a BAMN volunteer on one tape to someone who's earning money by circulating several different petitions.
What about voters' rights to sign ACRI's petitions? BAMN organizer Monica Smith equates race-neutral laws with Jim-Crow segregation laws and slavery. She told Tuscon columnist Denogean that voters are simply being educated that ACRI is "trying to end affirmative action . . . We let them know it's up on the KKK's Web site." Mr. Connerly has repudiated any support from racists.
Other opponents of Mr. Connerly deplore the blocking and name-calling. Arizona State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema told me that initiatives have been used to pass ideas such as campaign finance and redistricting reform often opposed by entrenched legislators. "People have a right to sign a petition, hear the arguments and then vote," she says. Ms. Sinema thinks Arizonans can be persuaded to vote down ACRI's measure, much as they voted down a ban on gay marriage in 2006.
The war against citizen initiatives has other fronts. This year in Michigan, taxpayer groups tried to recall House Speaker Andy Dillon after he pushed through a 12% increase in the state income tax. But petitioners collecting the necessary 8,724 signatures in his suburban Detroit district were set upon. In Redford, police union members held a rally backing Mr. Dillon and would alert blockers to the location of recall petitioners. Outsiders would then surround petitioners and potential signers, using threatening language.
Mr. Dillon denied organizing such activity. Then it was revealed two of the harassers were state employees working directly for him. Another "voter educator" hired by the state's Democratic Party had been convicted of armed robbery. After 2,000 signatures were thrown out on technical grounds, the recall effort fell 700 signatures short.
Ever since voters in virtually every state with direct democracy passed term limits in the 1990s, state legislators have been hostile to the process. Now Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado have all passed legislation to prohibit people from out-of-state from circulating a petition, and also to ban payment to circulators on a per-signature basis.
To his credit, Colorado's Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter vetoed such curbs. In March, a Sixth Circuit federal appeals court panel unanimously ruled that an Ohio law barring per-signature payment violated the First Amendment. Similarly, a Ninth Circuit panel just voted unanimously to strike down Arizona's residency law for circulators.
Some judges think the "blocking" of signature gatherers has gone too far. In 2006, Nevada Judge Sally Loehrers decreed a "civility zone" that barred opposing sides from coming within arms' length of each other at petition signing sites. "The blockers were off the streets within two days," says Paul Jacob, the head of Citizens in Charge, which promotes the initiative process.
Last year, Mr. Jacob was charged with conspiracy to defraud the state of Oklahoma in a bizarre prosecution that claimed he brought in out-of-state signature gatherers in violation of the state's residency requirement. Yet local public sector unions opposed to Mr. Jacob hired out-of-state outfits such as the Voter Education Project, an AFL-CIO offshoot that specializes in harassing signature drives.
Representative government will remain the enduring feature of American democracy, but the initiative process is a valuable safety valve. So long as elected officials gerrymander their districts and otherwise make it nearly impossible for voters to oust them, direct lawmaking will be popular. That's why attempts to arbitrarily curb the initiative, or to intimidate people from exercising their right to participate, must be resisted. It's a civil liberties issue that should unite people of good will on both the right and left.
Mr. Fund is a columnist for WSJ.com.
During the summer of 1992, I was in Barcelona just two days before the Olympics began. The streets were crowded with babes and hunks and I was just mesmerized and at a total loss as to what I should look at - the architectural wonders of Antoni Gaudi in the form of the Sagrada Familia or the beautiful women or the handsome guys with them or just to immerse myself in the cultural diversity of Spain. Barcelona was my fourth stop after Madrid, Zaragoza and Valencia and I will never forget the surreal feeling of looking at Gaudi's magnificent stone carvings and the Casa Mila. Thus when I came across the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I watched it hoping to relive those magical moments in that beautiful Spanish town and I was not disappointed at all.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a 2008 film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film stars Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson, and Rebecca Hall.
The plot centers around two American women, Vicky and Cristina, spending a summer in Barcelona, where they meet an artist who is attracted to both of them while still enamored of his mentally and emotionally unstable ex-wife María Elena. The film was shot in Avilés, Barcelona, and Oviedo, and was Allen's fourth consecutive film shot outside of the United States.
The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, then received a rolling worldwide general release that started in August 2008 in the USA, and continued in various countries each month until the June 2009 release in Japan. Penelope Cruz won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in this movie.
Although Vicky Cristina trips along winningly from the start to about 50% of the story, I believe its winning points include the beauty of its locations and stars - and all the gauzy romanticism of those enchanted places and reverberates with implacable melancholy and a sense of loss.
Most of you know I am a hopeless sentimental romantic and I am sure you will forgive me when I say that for all its meditations on romantic disappointments ( I cannot reveal too much), this is a slight, sunny film. Anyone in need of some superior escapism should see it straightaway. Dreamers like me might be disappointed. I wasn't. Not really. At least it addressed certain issues which many films would avoid like the plague!
Vicky Cristina constantly plays America against Europe, security against passion, the need for dependency against the desire to follow artistic and emotional whims. If this sounds programmatic, it isn’t, mostly due to the vibrant performances of the main players. In the liberated corner, Scarlett Johansson breezes by on her unique mix of charm, restlessness and sensuality. In the sensible corner, Allen seems to have channelled his own persona through a female character in Vicky, who is by turns neurotic and open, panicked and longing, trapped between her dull lawyer fiancé and a glimpse of a romantically fulfilled life — Rebecca Hall conveys it all and more.
Frankly, I believe Allen successfully projected the Spanish conquistadors in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The sexy protagonist Bardem imbues his artist with tenderness and virility — he has enough charisma to nail the most resolute nun on a vow of chastity, let alone convince two Yank tourists to come away with him. I think I would have melted like Hall did haha! But this is Cruz’s movie. At the most opportune moment (just when I was wondering where the heck is Penelope Cruz in this movie!) Cruz as Maria Elena blows the entire film apart. She is impetuous (watch her seduce Johansson), touching and introspective, spinning from jubilant peaks to moody lows in a heartbeat and 100 per cent convincing — exactly the kind of thing that walks off with Best Supporting Actress awards.
From a literary and artistic viewpoint, I opine that the film's lack of substance doesn’t matter, because it is a lovely journey into a summer fantasy - and all of us deserve a fantasy of some sort once on a while. - at least I think so ;)!
Woody Allen gives us a city filled with beautiful women, handsome artist types, charming little sweet shops and wonderful restaurants where interesting people talk about art and love, and drink delicious wine, not forgetting the lovely romantic guitar music and the ambiance of alfresco dining. It’s the triumph of lifestyle over life with wonderful vistas and music that is so sublime and romantic!!!!
It also has a wonderful cast. Rebecca Hall moves effortlessly between gawkiness and loveliness, capturing perfectly a woman torn between realism and romance. She’s going to be one of the great British actresses. It is not easy to play a sexy artist without looking like an idiot, but Bardem, with his doleful eyes and soft voice, does it brilliantly and although he is not my type at all, I must say that there were moments in the movie when my knees went weak and not from the way he kisses but more his expressions and those EYES!!! And Cruz’s Maria goes beyond the cliché of the crazy wife; she’s a beautiful monster who is too romantic for love and too artistic for art. I am not a Penelope Cruz fan but I have to admit she gave a stellar performance here.
The weak link is Johansson. Cristina is a cold fish whose character doesn’t seem fully constructed. She’s meant to be open to life, but seems blasé and indifferent to it. Johansson has the look of her character, but never finds the voice. She was much better in other movies and somehow, her performance here pales in comparison to her previous efforts.
Ultimately, in exploring this distended romantic triangle, Allen never comes down on the side of either the dull stability of marriage or the unpredictability of the boho threesome, but his position remains clear. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is another in his persuasive arguments that love, for all the complexities and pain it throws up, is still worth chasing. And along with art, perhaps the only thing worth chasing.
The movie has a nagging question that some would not want to answer - Do you love the one in your life or are you in love with him/her? Is there a difference? What do you think, dear reader? Which is greater?
Whatever your answer, I have to say this - watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona - feast your eyes on the beautiful locales; take an ambivalent look at human relationships and enjoy great performances, especially from Cruz. If you have already watched it, please leave a comment to share your views.
In the mean time, enjoy the following trailer of Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Buenos Dias estimado lector! Viva Espana!
Three men were waiting at Heaven's Gate. St. Peter says, "OK, guys, pretty much anything goes up here, but whatever you do, never lie, or you will spend the rest of eternity with the ugliest women in the universe."
So they all agree and are admitted in. The first guy makes it a week before he lies about how rich he was on Earth. Bam! Right at his side appears the ugliest woman he had ever seen.
The second guy makes it another couple weeks before he lies about how smart he is. Bam! At his side appears the second ugliest woman in the universe.
So the first two guys are walking around with their monsters of women when they see their third friend walking with the hottest woman ever conceived by man. The first two guys say in unison, "How did you land with that babe when we get stuck with these nasty women?"
He nudges the babe and says, "Tell them." She says to the first two guys, "I lied."

Ol' Fred had been a religious man who was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write on.
The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realised that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died.
He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all."
He opened the note, and read out loud, "Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube?"

A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.
"Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.
"Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.
The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.
"Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 6,875,953,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

FART JOKE #3
One day a lady went into a fishing shop to buy her husband a fishing pole for his birthday.
She picked up a really nice looking pole and asked the salesman how much it was. The sales man says, "I am blind but if you give me the pole I can tell how much it is by the weight."
So the lady gives him the pole and he says, "That pole is worth $45." She was amazed at how cheap that was.
So then she picked up another really nice pole, hands it to the man and he says, "This pole is worth $55." she decided that was also really cheap.
And then she picks the nicest looking pole in the place and handed it to the man and he says, "This pole is our best and it is $70." she told him that she would take it.
As she was getting the fishing pole all rung up, she had to fart really really badly. She decided since the man was blind that it really wouldn't matter if she farted in front of him so she just let it loose.
All of a sudden the man says, "It all comes up to $80."
Confused the lady says to him, "But you said the fishing pole was only $70."
He said, "It is. Its $70 for the fishing pole and $10 for the duck call."

What is the secret to making dreams come true? Do you know the one thing that matters most in getting what you want? Would you guess the key to success is hard work, perseverance, commitment, right connections, good timing, or lucky breaks?
You might be surprised to hear it has little to do with the above. Contrary to what we learn from parents, teachers, employers, friends, and whomever else shaped our lives, the secret to success may very well be the exact opposite of what we were taught all along.
The secret to a joyful life, to reaching one incredible dream after another, is highly underrated in our society and easily overlooked in the crunch of daily life.
That secret is feeling good.
Whatever your dream or desire is, chances are you were led to believe struggle, sacrifice, and continual effort were required to achieve it. If we want to lose weight, we think it takes dedicated diet and exercise. To earn a promotion at work, we believe extra hours and responsibilities are required. We equate improving our financial situation with cutting expenses or increasing income.
But those actions in and of themselves do not put us on the path to success. The only reason those actions might serve us is if they put us in alignment with our goal. If you have ever taken traditional action steps and not achieved results, it is because the crucial factor of “alignment” was missing.
Alignment means being a vibrational match to your desire. You can think of it as being in line with, in tune to, or on the same page as what you want. We cannot achieve something if we are not aligned to it. Boiled down, that simply means to get what we want, we must feel good. Taking action that does not feel good not only prevents progress but leads to frustration when doing the “right thing” does not produce results. And that frustration just creates more misalignment to our goal!
This phenomenon is explained by the Law of Attraction, which affirms that like attracts like. Everything in our world is made of energy, and energy vibrates, including you and me and all our thoughts and feelings. Everything we experience in life occurs because we are a vibrational match to it; that is, we attract what we vibrate.
So your thoughts and feelings create a vibration, which create your experiences. That is why feeling good is so powerful—it attracts more life experiences and circumstances that feel good!
Feeling good now is the best way to create alignment with what you want and to allow your dreams to materialize.
However, this is not the advice we typically get to reach our goals. Most will preach persistence and paying our dues for what it takes to succeed. You can relax and enjoy after you get there, they will tell us. The problem is that in “paying our dues,” if we create thoughts and feelings that do not feel good, we hold success at bay.
For example, if I do not enjoy counting calories or working out at the gym, and yet that is the action I take to lose weight, it is unlikely I will drop the pounds. However, if I feel good eating smaller portions and adopting an in-home yoga practice, that could very well be my ticket to the body I want. Not because yoga and small portions are the secret, but because doing what feels good is.
There is not one given rule that fits for all of us about feeling good. What one person delights in, another is driven to depression with. Whereas following a strict budget may be empowering to one, it could drive another insane. Posting a personal profile online for romance might be exciting for one, demoralizing for another. It is not the technique, strategy, or action step that makes the difference—it is how we feel about it that dictates our success.
So instead of following the “rules” or “expert advice,” if all we did was what felt best in moving toward our goals, we would naturally attract astounding success into our lives, however each of us defines that.
And yet our culture does not promote “feeling good” as a habit to strive toward. It is considered hedonistic and selfish to put ourselves and our happiness first. We are conditioned to put families, careers, and loved ones’ desires before our own, which is an unwitting recipe for disaster!
The secret to achieving things that make us happy in life is to do what feels good. Get in touch with your internal guidance, and follow that because we will not get to “heaven” by following a path that feels like “hell.”
Since most of us are not practiced at discerning and respecting our “feel goods,” here are four tips to naturally attract your dream come true.
1. Respect your emotional guidance. Your emotions are irreplaceable for steering you in the direction of what feels best. We are often trained to leave emotions out of the decision-making equation, which can lead to disappointment and frustration. Learn to listen to and follow your internal guidance, no matter how much logical sense it may or may not make.
You are the best expert on you. All the answers you need are within, and your emotions will steer you to the quickest and surest steps to the life you want. Trust yourself!
2. “Feel good” every day. Joseph Campbell’s advice to “follow your bliss” is as good as it gets. Make it a point to bring some sort of joy or smile to life each and every day. Whether it is a new habit of kissing your sweetie hello, indulging in a favorite treat once a week, or just enjoying an occasional hot bath, discover how little things can make all the difference in how you feel.
Following your “feel good” will create an alignment that allows more good things to come to you!
3. Eliminate what does not feel good. Unload the obstacles that keep you from feeling good. What is on your to-do list that you are dreading? Skip those! Delegate them, hire them out, decide to feel differently, or at the minimum, get them over with once and for all. These “feel bads” put you in alignment with things that you do not really want to attract.
As you eliminate what does not feel good in life, you will recover a tremendous amount of energy you did not realize was missing.
4. Stop worrying what others think. Yes, it may rock the boat as you change the way you live. That is okay. Does it feel good to worry about others and what they think? Right, it never does. Do not handicap your “feel good” by worrying about others.
You cannot make anyone else happy. We each choose for ourselves how we feel, and we can only be in charge of our own happiness. The best thing you could do for someone else is set the example of pursuing personal joy. Ultimately, when you find your joy in life, you become a better spouse, parent, child, employee, neighbor, and friend anyway.
The secret of feeling good is that it does not just feel good—it is a success magnet! The better you begin to feel and the more frequently you do it, the more you will find life delivering pleasant surprises, fabulous opportunities, and an abundance of experiences and things to love. Although it takes conscious attention until it becomes habit, it is the single best strategy you
could embrace for living the life you want!
