Not for the Norm...
For those who may consider themselves, out of "norm", you may consult the other blog.
Iraq's Political Prisoners.
The following are excerpts from an Urgent Appeal addressed to Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations on behalf of the hundreds of Iraqi detainees in US custody. While the Americans claim that the number of Iraqi detainees in their camps is not more than 10'000 or so, maybe even less, the reality is far different... And I shall quote from the text which can be found here . dated 11th March 2010, written by WATA - World Association of Arab Translators and Linguists and published on the Brussels Tribunal Website. "... we would like to inform you that the USA occupying forces in Iraq have locked-up more than (162,000) hundred and sixty-two thousand Iraqi citizens in more than (50) prisons and detention camps including (28) camps run by US occupying forces, in addition to many undisclosed investigation and incarceration centers over Iraq.

Norm, normality, "normalization" as in politics...all anti-vital poisoned honey.
Trust me rather to die of cold a lonely bird in the wide empty winter skies than renounce my "wings" for the blissful tepidity of an earth worm's vegetative life.
I'm completely normal. I've learned a long time ago to go my own way. I march to the drums in my head and sing to the tunes in my heart.
I was listening to Omar Bashir's Al Andalus, when I went to your uncensored blog... I just love the sound of the Oud and the music of Iraq, but the "flamenco Arabe" that O.B. plays is also very enjoyable.
By the way, I have a sticker on my car (a 1989 vintage ) that says "Who are you to say what's normal?"
Coincidences, as I said.
Interesting post.
There is a quote
*Normal is the pathology of the average*
I am not normal either !
Lots of love
Salaam dear
Coincidencies...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So, have you been able to strike the blance btween playing along and being yourself in your "real" life?
Also I dont want to meddle in your afffairs, but have you ever considered writing professionally?
I think that you would make a difference. There is a red tape that goes all the way through your social, political and subjective writings,which is connected to the core of the real problems our culture and civisation are facing.
Some very astute, intelligent, well written comments here...
A breath of fresh air in a stale blogosphere...
Thank you.
Writing professionally takes energy, time and money...
I am not sure, yet another book will make a difference.
I 've read tons of books, by tons of authors...Nice to keep as names and references. Have they really shaped this world into a better place? Am not sure.
Actually am not sure of anything anymore.
you completely normal? you could have fooled me...hahahahahahaha
