- Els Països Catalans a principis de segle XXI A principis del segle XXI, els Països Catalans continuen dividits i negats pels Estats espanyol i francès. En aquest marc, l’ensenyament és una eina que, al servei de les classes dominants d’aquests dos estats, serveix per legitimar i perpetuar l’explotació capitalista, descatalanitzar els i les estudiants i adormir-los amb uns continguts acrÃtics i un sistema d’aprenentatge que fomenta l’individualisme i la competitivitat. Estem assistint a una onada neoliberal i descatalanitzadora que impregna tots els à mbits de la societat catalana. La precarització de les classes populars catalanes, impulsada pel conjunt de polÃtiques econòmiques marcades des de la Unió Europea, és un procés innegable que s’explica per la necessitat de la burgesia europea (dins la qual cal incloure l’espanyola i la francesa) de flexibilitzar el mercat laboral per poder seguir amb la seva lògica d’acumular capital al preu que sigui. En aquest cas, el preu d’aquesta lògica són els drets dels i les treballadores. |

Oh, ewww! (Nov 13 2003 22:56 GMT) - Found this over at Kat's -- it was only a matter of time before the Paris Hilton / Rick Solomon sex romp made it online. The latter features a few links to the download, which is approximately three minutes long. I saw it....as always, don't click on the links if you don't want to view graphic sexual content. Hint, hint, you people who are offended by my Marilyn Monroe centerfold skin. |

Well, Yeah (Nov 13 2003 22:54 GMT) - A three-year-old's experience growing up with TiVo.: She gets quite confused when we are watching a non-TiVo TV, and she asks to watch "a kids show", and we have to explain that this TV won't do what ours at home does. We've sometimes shortened this explanation to "This TV is broken", which she seems to accept, and will wait until we get home to watch our "fixed" TV. [via anil, via gammatron (phase ii)] But of course, what else would it be but BROKEN? On the downside, ours is too, and I have to find a box to RMA the thing. |
