"Rape isn’t a ‘natural hazard’ like a cliff edge that women must be careful to avoid when drunk - it is a willful act of violence perpetrated by another human being and the responsibility lies with the perpetrator not the victim. Drinking alcohol is not illegal or wrong. Perpetrators are in control of their actions. A woman is never responsible for a man raping her."

Kat Banyard, The Equality Illusion (2010)
Productive work is the central purpose of a rational man’s life, the central value that integrates and determines the hierarchy of all his other values. Reason is the source, the precondition of his productive work--pride is the result."-- Rand

تولد سی سالگی

چند ماه دیگه سی ساله می شم و اعتراف می کنم که از حالا هیجان زده هستم....

این شعر را هم یکی از بهترین دوستانم بمناسبت تولد من گفته:

Oh Zara, she came from afar-a,
