Khatte Marli,

Thank you for the inciteful link. I haven't read all the information yet, as I have run out of time, but I plan to read it when I get the chance.

While reading on that site, one thought kept crossing my mind in terms of all movements whether they be feminist, ant-capitalist, etc.
In the article it referred to inequality of womens' pay in terms of the modern work-force. The main reason behind it was very astute.
It showed that employers do not want to take up the extra financial burden of paying for day care centres, maturnity leave etc.
In this scenario we moved from a sexist problem to a capitalistic problem.
What I'm really trying to say is that I feel we should not pigeon-hole ourselves and apply labels. I never want to be labelled as a feminist or a communist or any other label that may raise negative conotations, thanks to the media's coruptive influence on these labels.
I do however believe that we are self-aware and are slowly moving into a world-awareness scenario.
We should be standing up not only for Assyrians, but for females, the poor, the environment, animal cruelty.
This is a new way of thinking and a new self-aware way of looking at things. Why should we limit ourselves to one opression?

What are your thoughts?

Akhoonukh,
David

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
