Voting for George W. Bush is like
consuming Internet porn 12/17/2004 06:36 PM
In Oaxaca, as in most of the places that I've visited in and out of the U.S., it was nearly impossible to find someone who admits to favoring George W. Bush.  Yet the guy won 51% of the popular vote.  Even here in Massachusetts fully 37 percent of voters supposedly chose Bush.  Perhaps voting for Bush is like being a consumer of online porn.  Statistics show that it is popular but nobody will admit to doing it.

Washington Post: Firms Look to Limit Liability for Online Security Breaches. In the face of ongoing attacks by computer hackers, some companies that store their customers' personal data are adopting a new defensive tactic: If your information is stolen, they're not legally responsible.In a society where we wink at rampant cheating and disclaim any responsibility for our actions, this should come as no surprise. But this sliding away from accountability should not be allowed.

Stainless Steel Rasp
Lee Valley Tools
Turns garlic to liquid, parmesan to fluffy cheese snow, citrus rind to orderly zest and ginger to mud. You’ll wonder how you lived without it, unless of course you’re preoccupied with other, larger matters.

Belle & Sebastian – Gigantic
MP3 bootleg, found on the usual networks
Not ordinarily a fan of these agents of Scots wimp-rock, but strongly endorse this recording from a May 2002 concert in which an audience member named Rachel come onstage to make a go of the Pixies song: she doesn’t remember the words (except for hey Paul hey Paul, etc.), but manages to work in that she loves her boyfriend Josh.

Acquisition X
David Watanabe
A very good (Mac OSX only) filesharing application. Intuitively organised in an elegant Cocoa layout. Works seamlessly with iTunes, and only fifteen bucks.

Potatoes
Starchy tuber
Highly flexible foodstuff. Can be baked, boiled, fried, mashed, stuffed. Good with cheese, but not for the Atkins adherent. Will keep for like ever in the cupboard.

Walkydog
Bice S.R.L.
Clever device for safely taking the dog for a bicycle ride. Works, despite the name. Perhaps bikeydog.com was taken.

Être et Avoir
Nicolas Philibert
A thousand miles from the scattershot manipulative bombast of some documentaries, this quiet year filmed in a one-room schoolhouse in Auvergne manages somehow to catalogue vast tracts of human experience and weave narrative both tragic and heroic. One of the most pleasing films of recent memory. NB: no tits or shit blowing up.

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

A 40ish friend he told me about life with his twentysomething girlfriend:

• "I plan the dinner, shop for all the ingredients, choose and buy the wine, cook and clean up."
• "We were staying at a friend's house.  When it came time to leave she was relaxing while I cleaned up and put the sheets and towels in the washing machine."
• "We earn about the same amount of money and yet I pay for everything."
• "She seems to think equality means doing less than half the work so she won't ever have to feel mid-twentieth century housewifelike."

At the same time we know a huge number of women who seem to be good at everything except holding onto a guy long enough to get married, something that they claim to want.  Could it be the case that in the old days mothers sat their daughters down and explained to them how selfish and spoiled most men are and what they needed to do to keep the guy happy?  Whereas now young women are exposed to wisdom from Jada Pinkett Smith, a popular actress:

“Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,” she said. “They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it.” (speaking at Harvard, a talk that got her into hot water for being too "heteronormative")

The implication of Pinkett Smith's remarks was that a Harvard girl, in virtue of being bright, well-educated, and ambitious, was entitled to these things without doing too much work except maybe on the career part.  She never added "if you're willing to do the laundry, plan and pay for half the evenings out, straighten up the house in between visits from the cleaners."

Some of our women friends do seem to have figured out what compromises and efforts are entailed but they suffer through many inexplicable (to them) dumpings and are into their late 30s by the time insight is acquired.  This wouldn't be a problem except that by this age they are past their best reproductive years and are often rather embittered toward men.

A potential solution:Find couples where the man is satisfied and not thinking about walking out.  Do time-and-motion studies of the female partner in these couples and figure out how much effort they are putting forth.  Report the results so that single women can decide if it is worth the bother.  Perhaps when they see the data they will come to agree with Isabel Archer in Portrait of a Lady, who, when all around her were trying to marry her off, thought

"she held that a woman ought to be able to make up her life in singleness, and that it was perfectly possible to be happy without the society of a more or less coarse-minded person of another sex."

[Update:  Some (married) friends pointed out that there are quite a few books targeted at women who want to get married, offering advice.  However this advice is anecdotal and not based on hard numbers gleaned from surveys.  A friend in her 40s pointed out that perhaps by coddling our kids we've produced an entire generation too selfish to make a marriage succeed.  This afflicts both young men and women equally with the difference that men have the biological luxury to wait until they are 40 or 50 to figure it out.]
