Kanalistanbul sunumu sırasında Başbakan gene aynı şeyi söyledi: “Bu zihniyet Marmaray’ın bitişini 4 yıl erteletti bize. Neden biliyor musunuz? Orada çanak çömlek çıkmış bu.” [1] Daha önce de benzer bir açıklama yapmıştı. 26 Şubat 2011 tarihinde İstanbul Boğazı Karayolu Tüp Geçişi temel atma töreninde şöyle diyor Başbakan: “Aslında Marmaray 29 Ekim 2013’e kalmayacaktı. 2010’e yetişebilirdi. Bize gecikmek yakışmaz, ertelemek yakışmaz. Sürekli yok arkeolojik şey, yok çömlek çıktı, yok şu çıktı, yok bu çıktı ile önümüze engeller koydular. Herşey insan için, herşey Türkiye için diyeceksin ama gelip devamlı engel koyacaksın! Ya çanak çömlek mi yok ya, buluruz.” [2] (via zararli cemiyet: Seçim Yalanları: Çanak Çömlek Çıktı)

"…Küçük Oğuz Ataylar, Orhan Pamuklar, İhsan Oktay Anarlar olmamıza yönelik bir beklenti..."

““…Küçük Oğuz Ataylar, Orhan Pamuklar, İhsan Oktay Anarlar olmamıza yönelik bir beklenti sırtlanılır yük değilse de sosyal ağlardaki üretimi yazılı kültürün yeni bir formu gibi sunmak da bana hep yüzeysel bir iyimserlik gibi geliyor.
Oysa bugünün yükselen akımı gün gibi aşikâr: türetmek. Türkçede bir kelimede özetleyip aşağı yukarı anladığımız bu trendin yad ellerde ‘mesh-up’, ‘collobration’, ‘prosuming’ gibi uzayıp giden envaiçeşit etiketi var.
Özüyse şu; artık çoğunlukla yeni bir şey üretme yerine birilerinin ürettiği şeyi yeniden ve yeniden paylaşıyoruz. Çünkü üretmek onca yardımcı araç gerece rağmen zahmetli. Üstelik tüketecek onca şey varken çok zaman alıcı. Bu yüzden Tumblr, Posterous ve benzeri ağlar aynı içeriğin paylaşıldığı binlerce farklı blogla dolu. Video siteleri, Facebook, Twitter da farklı sayılmaz… “”

youmightfindyourself: A shadowy online company selling suicide...

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:09:18 +0300

youmightfindyourself:

A shadowy online company selling suicide kits recently claimed its first confirmed victim. Winston Ross talks exclusively with the entrepreneur behind it: a grieving 91-year-old woman.

The paramedics who showed up to Nick Klonoski’s house on Highland Drive four months ago discovered the 29-year-old’s lifeless body, covered up to the neck by a blanket. It was his brother Jake, detectives learned, who’d found Nick lying in his bed less than an hour beforehand, a clear plastic bag over his head, and a plastic tube running from the bag to an orange metal helium tank. Next to the tank was a white box, decorated with a butterfly, the box the plastic bag and tube had arrived in the mail in, with a book titled Final Exit inside.

“Is it the book and the kit?” asked the first police officers to arrive on the scene. The paramedics nodded knowingly. “Yep.”

These materials were assembled and sold to Klonoski last June for $60 by a company that calls itself the Gladd Group, which is not really a group at all. It’s a woman from the San Diego suburb of La Mesa, California, named Sharlotte Hydorn. She is 91 years old.

Each of the kits Hydorn assembles by hand is a simple contraption designed for a single purpose: people kill themselves with it by encasing their head in a bag of helium, which is lethal in pure form. People like Klonoski, the son of a U.S. district judge and whose funeral was attended by more than a thousand people. The Gladd Group’s estimated annual sales are $98,000. That means Sharlotte Hydorn sells more than 1,600 suicide kits every year.

“I’m too busy to cash the bloody checks,” she told The Daily Beast. “I haven’t made a deposit in three months.”

You have probably never heard of the helium-hood kit. Neither had Oregon State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, until he read a newspaper story published last month about Klonoski’s death. The horrified legislator quickly floated a bill to make it a Class C felony to sell such a kit. The first to testify at his April 11 hearing was one of Klonoski’s four brothers, Zach. Zach told the state senate judiciary panel that “my brother Nick was a beautiful person…It would be a disservice to him to remember him only for the way he died.”

Zach didn’t discuss his brother’s reasons for killing himself, but Nick’s mother, U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken, told police he’d been running every day and had been in an upbeat mood, despite battling a severe cold over the past several weeks. Klonoski’s brothers told the Eugene Register-Guard that he’d battled bouts of pain and fatigue for years without a diagnosis, that he was depressed about the effect that had on his life, and that he was worried he’d never regain his normal health.

“This is analogous to putting a gun-vending machine next to a depression clinic.”

Klonoski wasn’t terminally ill, so he wouldn’t have qualified for lethal prescriptions provided to eligible Oregonians under the state’s Death With Dignity Act, one of only two states that allow assisted suicide. But he was able to buy Hydorn’s kit on the Internet, to rent a helium tank from nearby Party City for $175, and do the job himself.

This, an emotional Zach testified at the hearing earlier this month, should be illegal.

“In a society where so many people suffer from depression and other mental-health disorders,” Zach said, “this company has found their niche in the market by peddling death. This is analogous to putting a gun-vending machine next to a depression clinic. The Gladd company, so named as to avoid suspicion in case family members happen to sign for or come across the package, made $60 off my brother’s death.”

Though Hydorn admits she did sell Zach’s brother his implement of death, she makes no apology for it. She has a story of her own.

It was 30 years ago, Hydorn said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, that her husband, “a six-foot-four, wonderful, handsome, loving, intelligent man,” was dying of colon cancer. After several operations, the cancer had spread to his brain, and surgeons had cut a hole in his stomach, out of which came his excrement, into a bag.

“It was my duty, and I did it willingly, to empty that thing every three or four hours,” she said. “One time I ran out of bags and went all over town looking for a pharmacy that sold them. Even years after my husband died, I would wake up and say, ‘I’ve got to go get those bags.’ ”

No one should have to go through that, Hydorn said, to die a slow, painful death in a hospital bed. “Death should be with loved ones beside you, holding your hand.”

Not long after her husband died, Hydorn met a man named Derek Humphry, a longtime advocate of assisted suicide and founder of the Hemlock Society, which has worked to change laws prohibiting the practice around the country. It was Humphry, in 1992, who penned Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-Deliverance and Assisted Suicide for the Dying, which effectively serves as a manual for how to kill yourself and which Humphry told The Register-Guard sold 500,000 copies in the first six weeks.

(Editor’s note: This is like The Complete Manual of Suicide all over again.)
