News for "the small people"
Mr. Svanberg, looking
somber as
he
left the White
House, confirmed
to
waiting reporters that
the president
seemed
“frustrated because he
cares about
the
small people.” But
he added:
“People
say that large
oil companies
don’t
care about the
small people.
But
we care. We
care about
the
small people.” Later
Wednesday Mr.
Svanberg
apologized, saying he
was “very
sorry”
he had spoken
“clumsily.” "den
lilla
människan"
The Swedish
phrase
is just as
demeaning in
swedish
as it is
in english,
"small
people".
That is
clearly a degrading
commen
in either
language. It's usually
used by politicians
in the
sense
they care about
the poor,
the
not so fortunate,
the elderly
who
can no longer
take care
of
themselves
etc. Stand
up for 'the
little guy' is
probably the
best
translation I've seen
yet. In
Swedish
it would make
perfect sense
to
use the term
'den lilla
människan'
in this context
as it
was
used.
In German
"der kleine Mann"
means
"the ordinary
people", "the man
in the street"
etc. There
is
also the expression
"småfolket" (the
little
people),
also used
in the sense
of
"the common
people". However, that
phrase is also
used in
folklore
about goblins and
the like,
and
if you think
of that,
it's
ridiculous.
Of course,
Svanberg did not
intend to be
demeaning, but
that
doesn't matter. Right
now, he
is
in a position
where anything
he
does is too
little too
late.
More specifically, while
Helmsley was
on
trial for tax
evasion, a
housekeeper
testified to hearing
her say
"We
don't pay taxes.
Only the
little
people pay taxes."
You know
the
score,
pal. If
you're not cop,
you're little people.
- Blade Runner
Most
people prefer to
see themselves
in
this category rather
than "die
da oben"
(literally "they up
there") which
is
about as friendly
as "fat
cats".
Funny though, the
largest Swedish
newspaper
just declared that
he should
have
said "little people"
instead of
"small
people"
Somebody please
make T-shirts that
say:
"BP: 'We
care about the
small people.' Carl-Henric
Svanberg 6/16/10."
forget
about the small
people: great
GOP
strategy
Another BP
official plants his
foot
deeply in
his mouth. BP
Chairman Carl-Henric
Svanberg should probably
skip
Mardi Gras
next year after
insisting that the
oil company
responsible
for the worst
"They can
call
me
small, miniature,
they can call
me
anything they
want. Just write
the check and
send it
to
us,"
he said.
"We're not small
people. We're human
beings. They're
no greater than
us. We
don't
bow down to
them. We
don't
pray to them,"
Taffinder said.
said
Hanners,
74. "But
BP does not
care about us.
They are
so far above
us.
We are
the nickel-and-dime folks
of this world."
"We care
about
the small people"
conveys either
an
aristocratic hauteur or
a vision
of
tiny fishermen straight
out of
a
David Lynch film
BP should
have
realised how small-minded
many journalists
are
about the small
things. Shell
Oil
has been leaking
oil from
old
rusty pipes for
over 40
years
into the Nigerian
Delta. Every
year
as much oil
is leaked/spilled
as
what has poured
into our
Gulf
waters and beaches.
The people
are
sick, the life
expectancy is
40
years,
it smells
all the time
and contaminates their
lives all
the
time.
Like the
birds and animals
in the Gulf.
Now since
that
much
is spilled
in Nigeria each
year, and since
it is
Nigeria,
no
one cares.
They cannot comprehend
the reaction to
our catastrophe
when
no one, not
even Shell,
bats
an eye at
theirs. Oh
right.
I
forgot. It's
Nigeria and those
people are black.
Now I
get
it.
Now that
is really racism
and not just
using the
n-word.

I, we, me, us, my, mine, our, and ours are in the first person.

Today (en panne)
Something about the sea called me
It was the fog clouds looming and war pulse
that desire over me calling, aspects theoretic kiss
musical passages flit stimulation undone
mushroom beard names a heart circle
at the zen shriek english shut zygotic sherry
neighboring wish ship he is hot asses
Lay o'clock shambles of his kisses kiddies
Whim of it bless whom we see lights it
