Suffering under orthodoxy
by frizztext
From North Korea to Iran, from China to Russia etc. it is possible to suffer under a certain kind of orthodoxy. Maybe in every nation, maybe in every job or neighborhood, even family. The hope of the new tools, the world wide web 2.0, internet access with high speed connection, digital photography, blogging of freethinkers etc. is: to have the wonderful chance to change many kinds of orthodoxy. To open narrow minded hierarchies. To build up communities with more fairness and empathy, more freedom and liberty. The chance to compare global conditions of living is the chance to work against orthodoxy.

(Charles Churchill, 1732-1764)] recently I was also amused by another quotation: Bishop William Warburton (1697-1779): “Orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is another man’s doxy.”

Powerful words and photos Frizz.
hi Gilly,
I like your article describing two different old men
http://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/a-contrast-of-elderly-men/
and the quotation of Thoreau there:
“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm”
These countries are serious issues.
dear cocomino In Japan,
I watched in TV,
how a film-team tried to make photo documents from dolphin killing in Taiji.
The Wakayama police had effective ideas to block the procedure …
The internet allows the people of the individual Nations to interact with each other on a more personal level, which is no doubt why our Government’s want to regulate the internet. If that ever happens, we’ll be right back to square one.
To me, an example of the powerful use of photography showed up as a Time magazine cover:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/05/world/asia/05afghan.html
yes, many of us remember the “Time Magazine’s recent cover photo of Aisha, an 18-year-old Afghan woman whose nose and ears were sliced off in 2009, under orders from a local Taliban commander…” fits the topic …
Oh, bless you, bless you, dear Brother Frizz, for taking this very strong stand against the kinds of orthodoxies around the world that enslave and destroy and cripple and hold us all away from each other. So very wonderful is the worldwideweb in facilitating the breaking down of barriers! Great work you are doing here, Frizz!
thank you for encouraging me!
