OFF TOPIC UPDATE: A distant mirror

Off Topic更新。Stanleyの投稿。
Barbara Tuchman著のA Distant Mirrorからの引用。

A distant mirror

"While clouds of smoke by day and the glow of flames by night mark burning towns, the sky over the neighbouring vicinity is clear; where the screams of tortured prisoners are heard in one place, bankers count their coins... Somewhere else."
- Barbara Tuchman, 'A Distant Mirror', pub. Alfred A. Knopf, 1978

OFF TOPIC UPDATE: thoughts on harry patch by heathcotte williams

OFF TOPIC更新。

thoughts on harry patch by heathcotte williams

It seemed appropriate to publish this ahead of the 2 minutes silence being played in the charts tomoro....Before Rihannna or Tke thaT or whatever the f__.......

Heathcotte sent me this saying he had been listening to our harry patch tune while writing it.
And as far as i know its unpublished..

To me the 2minutes silence is to wish the souls of those who have lost their lives in war may rest in peace.
And that we consider very very carefully the rights of goverments to make decisions to go to war in future.. based on lies.

明日のチャートでプレイされるだろう 2 minutes silenceに先駆けてこうやって宣伝するのは適切だったと思う.....RihannnaとかTke thaTとか、どうでもいい奴らより先にね.....。

Heathcotte(イギリスの詩人)は、執筆中に僕らの曲 harry patchを聴いてると連絡をくれた。僕の知る限りでは、それは未発表だけどね.....。

僕にとってこの2 minutes silenceは、戦争で命を失った人々の魂が安らかに眠れるようにという思いを込めているもの。そして、今後僕らが、(嘘にもとづいた)戦争を始める決断をする政府の権利を本当に、本当に慎重に検討することなんだ。
