6/2/10 33-year-old Debra-Lee Lorenzana was fired for Being 'Too Sexy ' Could someone ever lose a job for being hot? Well, Debralee Lorenzana did and now she is all set to sue Citibank Corp for firing her because she was too hot to be an employee at their organization. Debralee Lorenzana is actually a hot woman, and she comes from modern times where women generally take care of their image and focus too much on the way they carry themselves. Debralee Lorenzana always made sure she looked up to the mark at work; she worked at a Citibank branch in Midtown, NYC. Debrahlee's colleagues asked her to be a little careful about the turtleneck sweaters, pencil skirts and high heels and especially asked her not to wear fitted suits. Why? Because, she was a big source of distraction for her counterpart male employees. Lorenzana's bosses exactly told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear". Now whether this is a legitimate excuse on their part will be decided in the court when the matter is to be settled after Debralee sues Citibank Corp. Debrahlee's suit was reportedly dismissed from Court for contract reasons. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0wwYc-ben4

If Mickey Mouse can learn that all war is failure, maybe we can too. ***1/11/10*** Obama Establishes Council Of Governors To Advise DoD, DHS on 'Civil Support Missions' "The President today signed an Executive Order establishing a Council of Governors to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect our Nation against all types of hazards." http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/president-obama-signs-executive-order-establishing-council-governors http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/2010executive_order.pdf "Apologists for war will insist that war answers the problem of national self-defense. But the doubter, in reply, will ask to what extent the cost even of a successful war of national defense - in life, money, material, foods, health, and (inevitably) freedom - may amount to a national defeat. National defense through war always involves some degree of national defeat. This paradox has been with us from the very beginning of our republic. Militarization in defense of freedom reduces the freedom of the defenders. There is a fundamental inconsistency between war and freedom. ...Violence breeds violence. Acts of violence committed in justice or in affirmation of rights or in defense of peace do not end violence. They prepare and justify its continuation. How can a society that justifies capital punishment and warfare prevent its justifications from being extended to assassination and terrorism? If a government perceives that some causes are so important as to justify the killing of children, how can it hope to prevent the contagion of its logic spreading to its citizens—or to its citizens children? Such things are easy to say, but we are disposed, somewhat by culture and somewhat by nature, to solve our problems by violence, and even to enjoy doing so. And yet by now all of us must at least have suspected that our right to live, to be free, and to be at peace is not guaranteed by any act of violence. It can be guaranteed only by our willingness that all other persons should live, be free, and be at peace—and by our willingness to use or give our own lives to make that possible. To be incapable of such willingness is merely to resign ourselves to the absurdity we are in; and yet, if you are like me, you are unsure to what extent you are capable of it." http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1207-01.htm music: Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ9hSSYeMT4
