cougars in chicago
this is not entirely accurate, as i have it on good authority that many locals are well-practiced in the art of cougar hunting.
note: this is not the FH's first cougar post. she was almost eaten by the feline variety in 2004.
also, thanks for the tribune link, jdt!

what jefferson 1 is about.
to me, this is certainly not about the questionable dancing of some participants, or the questionable activities of thomas jefferson. to me this is not about misuse of public property, it is not about race. this is not about the interaction between the jefferson 1 and the officer, the group's motives, or what the law should be.
this is about the transparent enforcement of a clear rule of law, and the need for easy access to laws. officers could not cite any type of rule authorizing the arrest. this strongly suggests they either a) didn't know one or b) didn't think she needed to know. this is about detaining a human being without citing or, as it seems, having, just cause. it's moreover about the real possibility that countless individuals outside the jefferson 1's socioeconomic status are arrested without being shown the law in writing. and they may not have the resources to fight back. they mayn't feel that they even should fight back. that is what this is about.
the albeit flawed founders were generally in favor of a government with clear, set rules not subject to the whim of the ruler like their former king, or his extensions in the form of a state. this is about that perhaps-impossible ideal, as certainly there are unavoidable gray areas in enforcement. but this is about asking the law's representatives to move a little closer towards that ideal.
that's what i think, anyway.

illegal peaceful assembly
find details here from:
the event's co-organizer
the agitator
megan at the atlantic
outside the beltway
below the beltway
julian sanchez
f & s .org
peaceful assembly is, at times, restricted. what about this case? certain elements seem suspicious, including that police refused to give badge numbers or cite cause for arrest. the memorial website states that it is open 24/7, but that "for planned events dependent upon the activity and number of participants a permit may be required." the number and nature criteria are oddly missing. the phone line is closed on weekends so we must wait for monday to find out.
but whatever the case, it reminds me of a certain movie about dancing...
update: eye-witness interview
update 2: great article in the american spectator on the incident. though the eye-witness interview is down, footage of the incident is online now.

photos from my trip
Labels: personal
Holy crap, Nikki, those pictures are beautiful. It makes me wish I had gone to Italia. Why does our culture—so much wealthier than that of Renaissance Italy—concentrate on making better gadgets when we should be building cathedrals?
Anyway, I'm glad that you had what looked like a wonderful vacation and thanks for sharing the awesome pictures. What sort of digital camera are you using?

thanks john :)
chuck! good to hear from you! italy was so beautiful, i was expecting a lot and found even more to love than i anticipated. the cathedrals were amazing, but an excellent reminder of how a good religion can go terribly wrong when paired with power. anyway, right now i'm using a canon elph 6 megapixel camera. it's pretty excellent (and small).
anyway let me know if you're even in chicago!

hedgehog locale update
what do jessie jackson and john ashcroft have in common?
...thomas sowell and paul wolfowitz?
...milton friedman and kurt vonnegut, jr.?
answer:
they all went to the university of chicago.
and soon i will, too. in chicago's masters program i will study lots of fun and exciting stuff, like brains (yes, brains are fun! and exciting!). i'm taking the summer "off" so officially no longer staff here (although i'd like to think of myself as director emeritus), and will instead be here for the next few months.now that i'm finished freaking out about those decisions, i'll probably do some more blogging...
Congratulations. I am certainly hoping that you turn out most like Jessie Jackson. A penchant for rhyming prose might improve the digestability of neuroeconomic reseach.

big, pointy teeth
reuters:
Smith himself has described it as a "brute" which had left huge pawprints.
"This is no ordinary rabbit. We are dealing with a monster," he was quoted by newspapers as saying.
"It is absolutely massive. The first time I saw it I thought to myself 'What the hell is that?'
"We have two lads here with guns who are trying to shoot it, but it is very clever."

otherwise, it would all just be dots
we employ filters while processing all kinds of information; they are crucial for connecting otherwise random-seeming points in our lives and work. otherwise, it would all just be dots. everyone, even journalists and academics, must apply filters when forming data points into stories. the 'hog will hopefully serve as a reminder (to me) of this, and that i have filters as well.
okay, and that hedgehogs are cool - as if we need reminded of that.
anyway, i hope you like the site. although some people feel it is too blue, i think it's just right (huge thanks to designer-extraordinaire JDT).

light the night: one step closer
thank you to everyone who donated to DC’s light the night walk. my team raised over $1,750! DC walks have raised $1.4 million so far this year. this money will not only go to research, but also to family and patient counseling, financial aid, education programs, caregiver resources, and more.at the start of the walk, leukemia survivors and patients lit their white balloons first. the wave of white lights throughout the sea of walkers was incredibly emotional. each balloon is attached to a story, one of tears, suffering, and – often – a feeling of helplessness. every nine minutes someone dies from blood cancer, and countless suffer untenable lives everyday.
although the situation is grim, the outlook is not. i think we all caught the distinct smell of hope in the air that night. we will conquer this.
thank you again to all of my sponsors, and to my wonderful teammates, for putting us one step closer.
thanks also to bristol-myers squibb, without whom we would be much further from a cure.

last chance...
a big THANK YOU to those who have donated.
to those who are saving their $ for katrina victims, please keep in mind that many leukemia patients lived in that region. the society is doing their best to restore normal lives for these doubly-afflicted people. your donation can help!
a statement from the society on their hurricane efforts:
"In order to help meet the critical need to restore health care to the communities ravaged by the hurricane, the Society will commit $1 million to help get blood cancer treatment centers and patient support services in the devastated areas up and running again. The organization will carry out this commitment through two of its major fundraising campaigns: a half million dollars from the 2005 Light The Night Walk and a half million dollars from this year's School & Youth Programs.

discussing anarchism with strangers
after a few minutes i looked up and he, embarrassed, apologized for reading over my shoulder. he noted that what i was reading seemed interesting, and i told him a little about rothbard (what little i know). he then told me a little about his family. his grandparents were coal miners in west virginia, who advocated unions and all sorts of government programs. he went on to explain that the carter era's fiascos, as well as union corruption, made his parents and grandparents skeptical that government intervention was the solution. we then had a long, interesting, and thoughtful discussion of unions, their viability, and their compatibility with a libertarian worldview.
funny, the people you meet on the metro - or anywhere, really. the media likes to portray america as a nation divided, with everyone falling into one of two boxes. i'm always pleasantly surprised when talking to the "average" person (outside the policy world) about how non-ideological they are. or maybe i'm just lucky.

fun with memos, part 2
the half of my salary uncle sam allows me to keep will be taxed again when i spend it. a good example is my cell phone bill, with four separate government charges making up over 10% of my total payment. the "regulatory cost recovery charge" and "federal universal service charge" are my favorites.
some of it will also go towards more taxes, such as the virginia car tax. this weekend i got my “bill.” someday i'll regret writing passive-aggressive memos, but for now:
thinking of forced taxes (and the programs they fund) reminded me of one of my GRE words:
internecine: adj. mutually destructive; causing harm to both sides
[aside: quick! someone play scrabble with me before i forget all these words!]

ban the ban success!
- don't want to smell like smoke,
- think the ban will make them smoke less, or
- don't believe it will affect their lives.
speaking of the smoking ban, see greg's, um, interesting analysis of the psychology of politicians pushing it...
thanks to brooke for putting the whole thing together and doing all the work.
update: adrienne critiques ban justifications she encountered. she also mentions the server my compatriots encountered at polly's who was for the ban. i'd post a response on her comments but they're not working, so here's what i have to say about that. we tried to explain that there are plenty of jobs available in smoke-free environments in this city. he eventually agreed, but said they weren’t in what he wanted to do – wait tables. lots of people have the impression that the government needs to step in and make the market cater to them specifically, but it shouldn’t, and can’t, do that for everybody! i want to work in an establishment where no one uses swear words because they cause me extreme psychological and spiritual distress. is it the government’s job to create that ideal environment for me? NO!

two-legged coward
yesterday, i had my legs waxed. to some who know me well, this will be a shock. to others, you may wonder why this warrants declaration. i will give three reasons, in no particular order:
- it was the most painful thing to which i have ever willingly submitted myself. it is difficult for me to imagine worse pain.
- i put my well-being in the hands of a tiny, sadistic, chinese woman who i’m fairly certain could not understand a word i said, and vice versa for sure.
- this event ended a three month shaving hiatus.
my shaving hiatus began in april when it occurred to me that the only reason i shaved was because of social pressure to conform to some arbitrarily arrived upon norm for leg hair. surely, there is no more pervasive norm that is so against nature. this irritated me, and the more i thought about it the more i needed a better reason than that to ever shave again.
i have never before been so incredibly self-conscious, and began to notice how pervasive the practice really is – even among my contrarian friends, everyone shaves. the double-takes and scornful looks i got from other women surprised me (although friends were supportive). the desire and power to punish deviants, no doubt a throwback to our caveman days, certainly is strong.
for a while i enjoyed my deviant status, and took pleasure in the incorrect stereotypes i was probably categorized under (especially when wearing my “this is what a feminist looks like” t-shirt). at first i derived a sense of moral superiority over the sheep herded up to shave their legs unthinkingly, where i, clearly a more enlightened being, had broken from such meaningless conformity. ah, humans. how weak they are.
but, honestly, i hated it. i mean really, really, hated it. althougth i had certainly internalized society's norm, i felt it was ugly and gross, and even after months, i wasn’t used to it. although able to avoid scorn most places, except the gym and the pool, i couldn’t take it myself.
coward? maybe. norms are present in all cultures, and we seem programmed to create them. i learned that sticking with norms has merit, if only to conserve psychological resources.
to celebrate my liberation from liberation, i shared a pint of ben & jerry’s with david. so good.
more on norms
FYI, wolford net hosiery is excellent at camouflaging, and is probably good to have on hand in case you can’t shave.

dc smoking ban, back again
the first section of the proposed bill (PDF) asserts that second hand smoke is unhealthy and uncomfortable. it also states that smoker/nonsmoker separations are not always effective ways of preventing the harms of smoke inhalation. the above assertions are debatable, but even if true one can recognize the ills of smoke while allowing people the choice to be around it anyway.The DC Council is considering two bills that would make all indoor workplaces, including bars and restaurants, smoke-free.
What’s your opinion?
Ward One Town Hall Meeting
Thursday, June 9, 2005 - 7 p.m.
Lincoln Theatre
1215 U Street, NW
(U Street/Cardozo Metro)
not surprisingly the bill's distinction between public and private seems a bit fuzzy:
“Public Place” means an enclosed area to which the public is invited or in which the public is permitted.... A private residence is not a public place unless it is used as a child care, adult day care, educational or health care facility.nb: ban the ban

my buddies carter and wilson
so, once again an online quiz accuses me of being a liberal, and we’re not talking “classical” here. my results from the “neoconservative quiz” over on the Christian science monitor’s website:
Based on your answers, you are most likely a liberal.so, being against arrogance and hypocrisy is liberal, and only liberals grasp cause-effect relationships. does it often seem the reverse to anyone else? i suppose foreign and domestic policy do not have to be consistent.Liberal
Liberals…
- Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy
- Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies.

it's true, i'm just a girl
why are fewer women libertarians? many speculate that women reject the seemingly uncaring philosophy, so it's exciting that folks are now trying to polularize a different perspective on the ideology. it also seems that university women's centers create a monopoly on feminist ideas on campus. it’s a shame alternatives aren’t presented.
update: link updated.

me in lotr
Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others."selflessly." hm. does this mean i can no longer be a libertarian?

changes...
and blue is cool. the old site was supposed to be reminiscent of piet mondrian's later compositions, but it didn't really turn out too well - i don't think anyone "got it." on a related note, create your own mondrianesque art here.
any thoughts on the switch are welcome. i'm not sure i'm committed to it.

what i'm thankful for
apparently there's a mountain lion (cougar) loose in my ohio neighborhood, which i learned only after returning from a two mile run on deserted country roads, lined by woods, in the area. perhaps i should run with a shotgun next time.
some reading in case you make a trip to newark, ohio any time soon.
nice kitty...
there's been some controversy over whether to shoot or tranquilize the cat. county animal control director jon luzio says the animal may have to be shot, because it's just too hard to figure out how to tranquilize it. although they've tentatively found a home for the animal, luzio says it would be difficult to handle it.
that should be the last from the "strange ohio news" category for a while.
update: as of january, the lion is still supposedly roaming about.
update2: just adding a label.

they're watching me
the blimp will be hovering over the capitol and pentagon until tomorrow:
Authorities say the airship is equipped with infrared cameras designed to provide real-time images to military commanders on the ground.
considering the great technology they have now, the blimp can probably read what i'm typing right now. somehow, i just don't feel safer with a big military blimp hovering over me. it's very 1940's surreal.
another thought: for those exhibitionists among us, perhaps the blimp provides positive externalities...
