NORPLANT History III: Reducing the "underclass", neo-Malthusian fallacies, and social darwinism in America

This concludes the second chapter dear reader. After this, we will turn to the fourth (1st and 3rd available in archives).

4. The Inquirer Debate: Reducing the "underclass"
In keeping with traditional American attempts to utilize birth control as a means of social, economic and racial "betterment," the Philadelphia Inquirer published an editorial on December 12, 1990, just two days after the FDA approval of Norplant®. The editorial was entitled: "Poverty and Norplant: Can Contraception Reduce...

A Brief History of Norplant, Pt II - Cases in Egypt, Bangladesh, Colombia, and of Eugenics in The United States

C. The Egyptian Case
Soheir A. Morsy documents the Norplant® trials in Egypt, which closely resemble the Brazilian experience in "Bodies of Choice: Norplant experimental trials on Egyptian Women" (Mintzes, Hardon, Hanhart, eds. 1993.). While the media and the Population Council provided glowing reports of the device, these reports were introduced into a critical attitude regarding population control policies among the public at large as well as state officials. Morsy sees Norplant® as the ee...

The Human Laboratory

Does anyone know where to get the film (torrents aside) "The Human Laboratory"?

a brief history of norplant, part one

yes, I know. I started at the third chapter - then went to posting the first and now the second. Dear reader, please do not think (and this is often a mistake made within the United States, understandably) that Norplant no longer is being used. "Norplant II" is now in place. And, regardless of whether this particular device is utilized within the US, it is used globally and pointedly highlights patriarchal capitalist structures of hegemony further. Moreover, provider-controlled new reproducti...

The Hills, Hair, Men of a Certain Age, etc.

watched The Hills. Also, noted that William Dafoe had some hair job (wig, implants?) in The Antichrist. It was a pretty good movie, but I kept being distracted by his hair. Some of the distance shots look like Hugh Grant. I don't know who that is insulting or complimenting. I wish Greg Oden was around.

this week is christmas lights and tree and ornaments. praise jesus. have you watched Join Us?

think what we are doing

"we must think what we are doing" (Arendt, 1958).

re-reading Arendt. again. this time, it's the second edition of Origins of Totalitarianism. Summer 1950 was the first preface. Holocaust was not even shadow. no. It's still happening. We did it to the animals and then to each other. We taught each other how to hang on the disassembly line. Gladly. and Profited. Complicity. Some think that Eichmann stops at Eichmann. at the Nazi. NO. culpability extends beyond. the banality of evil is not an out...
