Carnival of Democracy and Dignity! (Issue #1)

Posted By Elisa On 20th September 2006 @ 16:25 In Carnival of Democracy and Dignity | 3 Comments

Welcome to the first issue of the Carnival of Democracy and Dignity!

Democracy and dignity is a very broad topic, and I wasn’t sure what sort of submissions I’d get. For this issue, I’m just going to post everything that was submitted to me to provide both some reference points and to welcome the broadest interpretations possible. Democracy and dignity is about valuing the potential of all human beings, so the bigger the scope the better.

So, without further ado, here’s what people thought of when they heard the topic “Democracy and Dignity”:

The Indignities Inflicted by the Current U.S. Regime
Inflicted on Its Own Citizens as Well As the Rest of the World

[1] Saddam Went to Flight School and All We Got Was 9/11

[2] Obsoleting the Electoral College

[3] Stop Pork Barrel Politics

[4] Senatorial Censorship Alive and Well?

[5] German 9/11 Victim Defamed in “United 93″ Movie

[6] Why a Minimum Wage Increase?

[7] Democracy != Elections, Modern Democracies are…

[8] SLOE/Future (Security, Liberty, Opportunity, Enrichment for the Future)

[9] Free, free Pakistan

[10] The U.N. and Beyond: United Democratic Nations

[11] Proud to be an American

 

The Philosophy of Dignity

[12] Civil Disobedience

[13] Politics is Philosophy for the Intellectually Lazy

 

Dignity and Society: the Workplace, Policing, Medicine, and the Environment

[14] Integrity Impugned

[15] Why Police Busts of Potential Child Molesters on the Internet is Wrong

[16] How Do They Use You as a Guinea Pig

[17] Ribble Fishwick Bottoms Clean-Up A Success!

 

The Human Comedy

Let’s all sing a rousing round of [18] Amazing Disgrace!

[19] Nearly 21 Million Iraqis Not Yet Killed

[20] The Rumsfeld Trap (a haiku!)

 

That’s quite a spread, and I hope to get this range of submissions for the next issue. Please feel free to leave tips and suggestions, as well as remarks on the various articles, in the comments.

Carnival of Democracy and Dignity #2 will be posted on October 20th. Submit your blog article to the next edition of democracy and dignity using our [21] carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our [22] blog carnival index page.

[...] One of the great pleasures of writing the novel, Doublethink has been the opportunity to connect with other people who are trying to create a better world. Among them are Robert Fuller, author of All Rise and Somebodies and Nobodies. Fuller has named the behavior of “rankism” whereby individuals and groups use their status in society to abuse others of lesser rank. He proposes “dignity” be recognized as a universal right. Helping Fuller communicate the importance of the Dignity Movement is Elisa Cooper, who is my co-host on this Blog Carnival. (Issue 1 may be found on breakingranks.net ) [...]
