Voiceからexitへ

このようにexitによる地域間競争で税率を抑制した中国は、戦争と重税に苦しむヨーロッパよりも豊かだったが、18世紀以降、軍備のために工業の発達したヨーロッパの生産性が向上し、軍事的に世界を支配した

平和なときは中国のような地域間競争のほうが効率的だ。それが20世紀末から中国が急速に成長した一つの原因である。

「福島市長が山形居住」発言の山内教授が謝罪「流言飛語信じ込んだ」

瀬戸孝則福島市長に謝罪する神戸大の山内知也教授＝福島市役所
東京電力福島第１原発事故を受け、神戸大の山内知也教授（放射線計測学）が自身の講演会で「福島市長は山形市から通っている」などと事実と異なる発言をした問題をめぐり、山内教授が９日、福島市役所に瀬戸孝則市長を訪ね、謝罪した。瀬戸市長は「謝罪を了とする」と述べ、法的措置などは取らない考えを示した。
この問題は、山内教授が２月に大阪市で開かれた講演会で「福島市長は山形市に住んで毎日、公用車で通っている」などと発言。発言はインターネットで配信された。これに対し、福島市は市民の市長に対する信頼を損なわせ、放射線対策への影響も懸念されるとして、３月に山内教授に対し謝罪を求める文書を発送していた。
市役所を訪れた山内教授は「放射能に苦しんでいる福島市民と市長との信頼関係を損ない、市民の心を混乱させてしまった」と謝罪した。瀬戸市長は「放射性物質の仮置き場の設置や市と市民に対するイメージを損ねた」と述べた上で、「本人が足を運んで文章をもって謝罪したことは重い。反省も含めて感じ入ったので了とする」と述べた。
山内教授は記者団に対し、「流言飛語のたぐいを信じ込み、市民に混乱を与えてしまった」と語った。
安全のため、原発稼動に慎重になるのはいいが、しかし、反原発おヒースがここまできていたとは・・・・

「ぶっ殺してやろうか」証人脅迫で罰金３０万円の有罪判決 水戸地裁
2012.4.10 13:30
茨城県石岡市の県議選事務所襲撃事件の裁判員裁判で昨年１１月、証人尋問中の知人を脅したとして脅迫と証人威迫の罪に問われた元暴力団幹部で無職、設楽啓一被告（４４）の判決公判が１０日、水戸地裁で開かれた。久次良奈子裁判官は有罪と判断した上で「審理に直接的な影響は与えていない」として、罰金３０万円（求刑懲役１年６月）を言い渡した。
判決によると、設楽被告は昨年１１月２９日の公判中、検察側証人として出廷した知人男性に「ぶっ殺してやろうか」などと脅した。
久次裁判官は「設楽被告の行為は極めて不適切であり、円滑な審理が一定程度阻害された」と指摘したが、「発言について裁判員裁判公判で謝罪し、反省している」とし、懲役刑は相当性を欠くとした。
設楽被告は、襲撃事件で殺人罪などに問われ、１審水戸地裁で懲役２０年の判決を受けて控訴中。
どうかなあ。 証人が脅迫されるとやっぱ、びびるぞ。証人脅迫は断固として許さない、という態度を示す量刑があってもよかったのではないか？

April 10, 2012 in Books by Twentieth-Century China
while for Edward Said the East was the irreducible “other,” the location of the absolute difference, the new Sinological-Orientalism construes China as the place of “becoming sameness” (p. 2). By this he means that China remains the other—it is still not normal—but is now placed within a scale of hierarchical difference, one in which it is always in the process of becoming like the West: liberal, open, modern, and free. In Vukovich’s essential re-formulation, this China is always the realm of the “not yet” (p. 3).
the colonial discourse of Sinological-Orientalism is part of a larger knowledge/power articulation. In fact, one added bonus of the work is that it illustrates how this perception of China is manufactured through the repetition, across different fields, of the same colonial discourse
No matter what they actually say or do, Vukovich argues, the people of China are perceived by foreign observers as ultimately wanting to become the same with the West—and thus they are always doomed to fail.
Anecdotally, one could cite examples of the penetration and absorption of Sinological-Orientalist discourse in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan; self-orientalizing is nothing new

Tulsa shootings suspects Jake England and Alvin Watts confess, police say
(CBS/AP) TULSA, Okla. - The two suspects arrested in a Tulsa shooting spree, Jake England and Alvin Watts, have confessed, according to police documents given to the Associated Press.
The documents given to the AP on Monday say 19-year-old England confessed to shooting three people and 32-year-old Watts confessed to shooting two.
The reason for the shooting rampage may lie in a killing that took place more than two years ago. England's father, Carl England, was fatally shot in 2010 by a man who had threatened his daughter and tried to kick in the door of her home. The man was black and police say Jake England may have been seeking vengeance when he and his roommate shot five black people last week.

Q
Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon contacted the Central Intelligence Agency in late 2009 with an urgent question.
The school’s campus in Dubai needed a bailout and an unlikely savior had stepped forward: a Dubai-based company that offered to provide money and students.
Simon was tempted. She also worried that the company, which had investors from Iran and wanted to recruit students from there, might be a front for the Iranian government, she said. If so, an agreement could violate federal trade sanctions and invite enemy spies.
The CIA couldn’t confirm that the company wasn’t an arm of Iran’s government. Simon rejected the offer and shut down undergraduate programs in Dubai, at a loss of $3.7 million.
Hearkening back to Cold War anxieties, growing signs of spying on U.S. universities are alarming national security officials. As schools become more global in their locations and student populations, their culture of openness and international collaboration makes them increasingly vulnerable to theft of research conducted for the government and industry.
“We have intelligence and cases indicating that U.S. universities are indeed a target of foreign intelligence services,” Frank Figliuzzi, Federal Bureau of Investigation assistant director for counterintelligence, said in a February interview in the bureau’s Washington headquarters.

How Subtle Discrimination Affects Targets II: American as Apple Pie
In their first study, the researchers approached Asian American students and White students on a college campus to fill out a survey about food preferences. For half of the participants, the researchers first asked the seemingly innocuous question, "Do you speak English?" The Asian Americans who had been asked this question were statistically more likely to report favorite foods that are associated with America, such as burgers and french fries, compared to either Asian Americans who had not been asked this question or to White Americans (for this latter group, asking about their English had no effect on their food preferences).
In a second study, Guendelman and colleagues specifically invited Asian American participants to the lab to select and then eat foods from a web-based menu. The menu fully disclosed the nutritional information of the food choices. Half of the participants, chosen at random, were stopped by the experimenter at the door and told, "Actually, you have to be an American to be in this study."
All of the participants clarified that they were indeed American—but that was not the point. The point was to see how the identity threat invoked by the experimenter's words would affect their food choices. As with Study 1, following this very brief interchange, the participants who were under identity threat were more likely to choose foods from the American menu—grilled cheese, hamburgers, fries, Philly cheese steak, chicken fritters—than participants whose American identity had not been threatened. This small manipulation, in fact, caused the study participants to choose (and later eat) food with an average extra 182 calories and 12 grams of fat.

Evan Samuel Heimlich Carlos, in my 12 years in the Kobe area, 11 of them were like you say: many partiers wanted to share their drinks and snacks with us foreigners, and sometimes I even jammed, as a musician, with fellow guitarists. But I don't know why you'd disbelieve the guy who wrote to Arudou Debito, who explained that the men were not bothering anyone else
Isn't it because the post was on Debito org?
