President Obama: Dialogos and Soft Power?
posted by DK Matai on January 20, 2009 at 03:18 AM
Dear Friends, it would be useful to have your considered input in regard to the following: as we look forward to President Obama's inauguration, we are conscious that the quantum jump originates from Dr King, Mandela, Gandhi & Lincoln... are we embarking on dialogos and an emphasis on soft power over hard force?

Leadership Lies

Here is an article I wrote on Leadership - I would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have on my theory!
The Secret to Successful Leadership
Most people believe that leadership is primarily about your relationship to other people. How effective are you at motivating people, connecting with people, and marshaling support for your vision? How adept are you at getting other people to do what you want and need them to do?

Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Glitter Glass Whats His Face (updated)
posted by Mallika Chopra on December 04, 2008 at 09:16 AM
In one sentence, Elizabeth Hasselbeck refers to Glitter Glass What's His Face to light a bowl of incense and then proceeds to say the United States does good work around the world. A completely racist comment that demonstrates the deeper cultural issues the US faces around the world.
update: Here is Elizabeth Hasselbeck's recent apology-last 10 seconds of the clip

Projection and Internalization
posted by Sarah Maria on October 30, 2008 at 05:36 PM
People often ask me what causes Negative Body Obsession, this all-too-prevalent condition where people do not feel thin enough, beautiful enough, or attractive enough. They have some belief that their bodies are just not quite right, that they are not ideal. They should be taller, younger, thinner, darker – the list goes on and on. These beliefs help to fuel the diet industry, beauty industry, tanning booths, and cosmetic surgery practices.

This phrase kept coming up during my meditation today
and I feel like it's particularly relevant to the mood making
conversation we've had over the last week.

I have a question for you.
From your perspective, what are the people of today struggling with most? Come up with your top THREE answers and get really specific. Can you answer in one sentence each? For example:

Just Say "No" to Any Immediate Bailout - Don't try band-aids to keep the Tower of Babel Standing
posted by Rabbi Lerner on September 29, 2008 at 03:37 AM
Rabbis of antiquity interpreted the attempt by humanity to build a Tower of Babel that would allow people to storm heaven as a symbol of human hubris and technological power gone crazy. It was globalization for the sake of power, not for the sake of kindness or goodness, so, according to the Bible, God ensured that the whole thing would collapse.

Is Palin supposed to attract the women vote?
posted by Mallika Chopra on August 29, 2008 at 08:38 AM
In choosing 1st term Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP pick, McCain and his advisors have demonstrated how thick headed they are when it comes to women. Do they honestly believe women are so stupid to vote purely for a woman? I supported Hillary because she was a smart, experienced woman who supported and has spent her life fighting for the issues I believe in, and I felt confident she would be a great American President.

Is infidelity a sin? Forgiveness a Virtue?
posted by Suchitra Krishnamoorthi on August 14, 2008 at 01:54 PM
From my experience of the world, through my own eyes and those I have observed closely, I have reached the conclusion that an unfaithful or promiscuous man (most of the time) does not believe he is doing any wrong. His desire to spread his seed and devour beauty is something he sees as a primordial fundamental right. The prize for being born male.

Aafia Siddiqui – Terror Mastermind or Victim of Mistaken Identity?
posted by Tori Roy on August 14, 2008 at 11:39 AM
What struck me as interesting in the Aafia Siddiqui story is NOT that she is considered the most important wanted woman in the world right now - OR the fact she graduated from MIT a venerable American Institution, but the fact that the two news agencies sounded so divergent in their reportage of the story. It broke on Wednesday over the NPR (National Public Radio) airwaves – a small but intriguing story about the woman who is accused of being an al-Qaida operative, a fixer for the terrorist organization and perhaps one of the missing links in the chain of command in the 9/11 attacks. The mainstream media picked it up a day later coming up with an entirely different focus.

140 Clergy Appeal to Obama to be Obama and reject the Inside-the Beltway Logic
posted by Rabbi Lerner on August 13, 2008 at 05:38 AM
Dear Senator Obama,
As strong supporters of your campaign to become President of the U.S. in our own personal lives and as leaders in the religious communities in the U.S., we understand well the pressures you must be facing to tone down your message so that you can win the election and then later be more courageous in challenging major assumptions in American public discourse that have been inserted there by a powerful conservative assault for the past thirty years by conservatives and champions of the elites of wealth and power in this country.
