Re. the account on the other video.

"In the 50's, the Soviets were prospecting for natural gas in Turkmenistan, and accidentally lit this 60m-diameter crater on fire. It's been burning ever since."

It was actually 1971 and lit on purpose to keep the gasses from killing everything around according to Wikipedia.

Penn is a self-satisfied douche bag who is an enabler of glenn beck-types in a big way.

but he makes some salient points even if i fundamentally disagree with them.

i agree that we probably need reform, but at the end of the day, this comes down, for me, to an ethical problem. maybe this is simplistic, but I look at the difference between me and the everyday fiscal conservative as one of interiority vs. exteriority. i should expound. i think of myself essentially as not an individual. i am the sum of everything and everyone around me. to this effect, it would follow that everything around me MUST be in part comprised of me, or that which I put out. the roads, schools, and various infrastructure to which BB refers are by their very nature as being infrastructural NOT self-contained, and are the real-world manifestations of the unification of a plurality. lets say that single individuals or institutions were creating these things... they would simply not be applicable to a plurality because they would be created with a minority in mind--what comes to mind is the gross absurdity of the infrastructure of a country like Turkmenistan, where the roads and schools are built with outside money from oil sales, and where the president decides what and where infrastructure is built. its no surprise that you see roads and monuments and schools that are appreciated only by a small and very elite minority.

the same kind of thinking that goes into something like a road, for me, goes into human beings. The absurd paradigm of the man "who has pulled himself up from his boot straps" that appeals to Beck-ites so effectively is a myth of a very elite minority on the highest and most supreme order. when Penn is ranting about the insanity of flowing capital in such a way so "the shittier team can win" is, to me, very revealing of how he looks at himself and the world around him. Its a very interior way of seeing things... which is to say that he plainly does not draw the obvious comparison between the publicly-funded road and the publicly funded individual. It also tells me that he doesn't understand the inherent injustice of our class system in this country, and that he doesn't understand such simple concepts as RACE, MENTAL ILLNESS, EDUCATION, etc. SO to say that he is interior is to say that he is only seeing this issue through his own, highly specific lens of a white, gifted, balanced male. And what about the idea of CHAOS? Can he predict that no catastrophe will ever befall him? To break it down to selfish language, isn't there a way in which paying high taxes (provided the system is effective) is a kind of insurance against personal disaster?

Oh well, just a bunch of personal thoughts. If I sound like I need schooling, please, school away.

"Our country's unity is stronger than nuclear weapons, therefore, we are not afraid."

Therefore, we are husks.

For the sake of a future, we really need to keep Il in his place, or kill the bastard-it is unfortunate that so many lives be caught in the middle-so many are hopelessly lost daily to the fucker-Too bad, Iran's got one too-and Sudan, and Burma, and Zimbabwe, and Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Saudi Arabia, E.

This is a traditional Uzbek song from Horzem region of Uzbekistan, usually sang at wedding ceremonies as a playful discourse between the unmarried men and women. She sings how someone would need to do more then usual to capture her heart, the poetic nature of my language means I can't really translate it word for word... as we have words in our language that combine compound English descriptions like 'burning-love-of-youthful-age'.

Feruza is from that area as well and gives the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. This made me so happy when I found it, as I remember attending many a wedding back home.

If you are curious, this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTo_Rkygqk0, is a good short movie on the history and people of Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan, officially the Republic of Uzbekistan, is a country in Central Asia, formerly of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. This gives Uzbekistan a status shared only with Europe's Liechtenstein in that it is doubly landlocked, that is, it is surrounded entirely by other landlocked states. The only official language, Uzbek, is a Turkic language, but Russian continues to be widely used, a holdover from Soviet rule. The word Ozbek means Real/original/true (Oz) Leaders, Nobles (bek).
