I know people who use fake names at their workplace. In America, in racist America, this is what you do when your name sounds outlandish. Helen, or Jacob just sound more familiar I guess, and what's in a name anyways. You'll sell yourself for whatever it takes, right?! If other people want to define or create your appearance, than you let them. Just give yourself up. Just brain off.

WTF!

In the recent issue of Warrior of the Light, issue 169, Paulo Coelho writes: “The war is now entering its 6th year, ...”

Is this still a war? Are we looking at a war or at an occupation, and does the difference matter? Should Americans be asking the question whether the war should end, or whether the occupation should end?

Digital is about authenticity. You can see it in the language they use. Obama uses the language of "we and you," which is inclusive and nods to the wisdom of the crowds. She uses "I and me." His stuff is about "yes, you can." Which is about the buyer. She talks about "experience from day one." That's about the seller. That doesn't resonate anymore.
