Definitions, New and Old
1. The act of rendering.
2. An interpretation of a musical score or a dramatic piece.
3. A performance of a musical or dramatic work.
4. A translation, often interpretive.
5. A surrender.
and elaborates the first as:
1. the act or result of rendering a court's judgment
2. legal extradition of a fugitive who has fled to another state
Now we have a new one serving to cover barbarity and soothe nervous fools with word play. According to script writers who arm Condoleezza Rice with American make believe, it is now to be:
"the covert capture in foreign countries and transfer of terrorism suspects without the involvement of a court"
I prefer definition 3 and think of some songs that helped render what pigs of past opposed, going so far as to make it possible for Ms. Rice to serve as America's chief in charge of international whoring.
"Ain't gonna let nobody turn me round, turn me round, turn me round. Ain't gonna let nobody turn me round. Gonna keep on a walkin, keep on a talkin, marchin up to freedom land."
My guitar remembers that one well. Condoleezza might have some relatives who do also.
May i know the name of that song ????So i can know the name to hear it. Or if you would be so kind and sing it for us with heart???I would try to download it if you would be so kind to have it with your singing on the other form in the downloads that i have downloaded 1 otherthing but this i think i would love to hear with music and singing to it like a song for the soul.
Pick and choose, which words take out the sting, which words ease the conscience, which words blur the truth. So many ways to rename what is and always will be, inhuman treatment of another. There is only one way a person should feel on that and that act is what should be seen, not the words disguising it.
The act of rendering here in Mexico means making carnitas and chicharones. Taking the fat out of the pig. Sounds like what those American pigs need to have happen to them.
Cochineros, los todos.
The name of the song is "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Round". I would like to play and sing it, and it would certainly be done with heart if not musical quality. I first sang it during freedom marches in Selma, Alabama, USA in 1965 and have hardly stopped since. But you would have to come near my house to hear it repeated. The windows are open and you would experience what my neighbors endure. To record and upload it would have to wait for another day because my computer sound system is broken. There is another way which offers better voice than can I. A version of the song was posted in the Library for download last February. That practice was canceled because of storage limitations. I uploaded it again. It does not appear on the Library menus but can be heard and downloaded by clicking here.
Pocho -
The act of kidnapping someone in a foreing country and extradite them without a court, a judge, habeas corpus, documentation ... used to be called "extraordinary renditions". It seems like you don't hear about legal renditions anymore.
Other terms which come to mind are kidnap, body snatch, bundle off, capture, hijack, impress, pirate, seize, shanghai, snatch, steal, and waylay. Do you suppose Condoleezza would hold the buck by accepting 20 years to life? Or, would she pass it to accumulate with others of her boss calling for his execution? Now, if his nation were in fact a democracy respondent to wills of his people, as they seem to dream, isn't it also they to whom punishment should be shared? Perhaps sufficient sentence would be requiring each to take their chances by spending prescribed time in yet remaining tall buildings.
I was just wondering does this mean thay can now do the same thing in the usa just get who thay have charges on ?????It would be fair but who would thay want to lock up lol
