Timewatch Book Review

I was fascinated by the idea of time travelling and the transportation to previous lives. The story builds up fairly quickly. Maybe it was just me but I was a bit confused throughout the book with all the family members taking part in jumping backwards, forwards and lateral in the timeline.

Most of the time the story did make sense and was enjoyable. What left me perplexed was the idea behind it all.

The scope of the Morgan family is to go backwards in time and stabilise the timeline. During their 20th century lifetime there was a huge risk, that because of a time portal, others who had not so humanitarian motives would change events in the past and so change the present.

Nothing wrong with that idea…

What I couldn’t digest well was that all this hassle was being done so the history of the USA formation was not touched, the Indians defeated and eventually USA will become the world greatest war nation that will protect the rest of the world from evil nations.

Maybe because I am European. Maybe because frankly I think USA has been meddling too much with world affairs and its war tactics. Maybe because to me it felt more like a USA propaganda “we know the best for all you in the world”, this book didn’t sit quite right with me.

Pity because the idea on the whole was fascinating.

Legge USA anti-discriminazione sul lavoro ma vengono esclusi i Transessuali/Employment Non-Discrimination Act passes without Transgender

La Camera dei Rappresentanti degli Stati Uniti, che e' per maggioranza democratica, ha votato la scorsa settimana un provvedimento a difesa dei lavoratori omosessuali che intende mettere al bando ogni tipo di discriminazione sessuale sul luogo di lavoro dalla legge pero' sono stati escluse le discriminazioni di genere.
Trovo estremamente ingiusto che i transgender non vengono tutelati. Cosa hanno di cosi "anormale"? Perché ci si deve sempre soffermare sul fisso, non mutuabile.Quello che mi intriga sapere però è come faranno ad implementare questa legge (se legge diventerà). Come tutti quelli che sono dipendenti, si sa che il datore di lavore se decide di licenziarti il modo lo troverà. E anche se c'è la legge che ti tutela contro la discriminazione per orientamento sessuale il modo di farti sentire non accettata nell'ambito del lavoro sicuramente lo troverà.
The United States House of Representatives passed the Non-Discrimination Act without the Transgender.
I find this fact extremely discriminatory. It's sort of leaving behind a part of our community. I can understand that it was a political move to obtain more votes but this is only a compromise.
I'm really curious how this law will eventually be implimented. How can you prove that your employer fired you because of your sexual orientation? And how is this law going to stop such acts. The employer can decide not to fire you but surely he/she can make your working place hell.
