History Forum / General / General Topics / August 2006New English word: to Darfurize
I just made up a new word for our language, "Darfurize." It means: when a certain tribe or religious group tries to push another tribe or group out of their homeland and into a deadly place like a desert (on in the case of the Israelis, into the Mediterranean Sea). The whole world now has too many people for the available land (especially land with clean water supplies), so this is happening (even between Sunni and Shiite groups in Iraq). More about this is in my article published in an e-zine at: http://www.useless-knowledge.com/1234/06aug/article131.html . DanS. Good article. I've been harping about Darfur too. Here is a related recent thread at <alt.environment>& <alt.philosphy> where I got two cents into it. A solution is indeed to irrigate the desert with ocean water. Plus, as the glaciers melt, the coasts of the world are going to need relief, and what better way than to use the ocean water to improve deserts. And it's slightly smarter than taking an SUV gas-guzzling trip to see the sights of nature. > I just made up a new word for our language, "Darfurize."

I think Robt. Cohen's posts are interesting. And it's a good article in The Nation, that he links to. DanS. Here is another one via THE NATION that has a nuance/spin/slanting that further explains/confuses the phenomena. http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=34467 > I think Robt.
