Carolyn Maloney - History should be respected
Full text of Representative Maloney’s speech for the Greece-Fyrom issue. I publish it because it rightly focuses on the importance of Memory, on respecting history away from temporary political interests...

I believe that the name Macedonia properly belongs to Greek culture and therefore should not be used by any other country. Greek Macedonia is one of the oldest civilizations known to man and the history of this name should be recognized and respected... - Read Complete

Not that long ago, in 1945, Truman’s Secretary of State, Edward Stettinius, was singing a rather different tune [observe how current/temporary political interests dictated a different approach, but under a similar logic and not for protecting memory/meaning]: “The (State) Department has noted with considerable apprehension increasing propaganda rumors and semi-official statements in favor of an autonomous Macedonia… with the implication that Greek territory would be included in the projected state. This Government considers talk of a Macedonian “nation,” Macedonian “Fatherland,” or Macedonian national “consciousness” to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic nor political reality, and sees in its present revival [not the destruction of Meaning but] a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece.” Then again, that was when the United States and its only Balkan ally, Greece, were fighting an expansive Communist empire... - Read Complete

Imagine a person who doesn’t believe in studying, yet looking forward to visiting the libraries, or a person who thinks that the movies do not offer what they promise, entertainment or whatever, imagine this person to say that he looks forward to see the movies! This is Gorbachev. Answering to journalists, who thought of him being a Christian, said that he was and remains an atheist, but he looks forward to visiting the churches, synagogues and mosques around the world!... - Read Complete

Word of Farewell
Let us not only detach ourselves from the liquid and confused life, but have our fast, chant and prayer in knowing that he is present and sees us, knowing clearly, that neither fast, nor chant or prayer can save us by themselves, but only if we have them in front of God. By seeing us the eyes of the Lord sanctify us, as the sun heats all that receive its light. Our works are made in front of God when our mind sees Him clearly. Then we fast, chant and pray because we see Him... - St Gregory Palamas
