sssshhhh! Saudi Arabia is watching YOU!

shhh... knock, knock...who's there?

Oh, anyone who has had a web site for more than a smidget of time knows the purpose of a ‘hits log’ ( the record of who visits your site leaving — sometimes- a distinctive DNS number). In addition, there are many services that will give you some quick and dirty tracking of your visitors… like sitemeter… so it is always interesting to see that whenever I put ‘Saudi Arabia’ or ‘Cal Poly and Saudi Arabia’… I get some interesting visitors.

Saudi Arabia is clearly one of the biggest ‘internet’ censors…. so you can imagine how fascinating it is for me to see someone on my site from that part of the world. Although they don’t want information coming into the country.. they do want to know what folks are saying in the outside world about them.

By the way, if you don’t know what’s going on between Saudi Arabia and Cal bin Poly… read this blog or do a little google searching.

Have fun!

Cal Poly Students elect ‘Saudi Deal’ Critic as President

I LooOoooOOve Cal Poly Engineering!Cal Poly students elected vocal ‘Saudi Deal critic’ Angella Kramer overwhelmingly as student body President at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

In a daring move on the day of election, the two college presidents of the Cal Poly Democrats and Cal Poly Republicans came out with a personal strong endorsement letter in the student newspaper of Angela Kramer:

“….and (she) stood up at ASI board meetings when all others remained silent. An important example of this lies in the recent student outcry over the pending contract with JUC in Saudi Arabia. Students wanted a forum to have their concerns addressed when previous attempts to talk about the issue were shut down. Angela was the only member of the Board of Directors who stood up in public repeatedly, not only against discriminatory programs, but also in support of the rights of students to be heard by members of the Cal Poly administration, including President Baker.”

Not everyone at every university is so quick to sell their principles for some quick cash. Some folks have begun to rethink their positions, even at UC Berkeley:

UC Berkeley’s civil and environmental engineering department declined to join KAUST.

There is much different between us and the Saudis and although one wants to be accepting; however, we must recognize that tolerance only goes to the point of sacrificing who we are. We are a free nation, they are not. Women have a place in our world, women are cattle in theirs. There are more comparisons equally disturbing.

Just say no to the Saudis.
