Teror, Past and Present
Jumat (17/7/2009); Hari pendek… kata orang-orang. Pendeknya di mana? Sama saja dengan hari-hari lainnya, panjangnya 24 jam. Namun, ’hari pendek’ pekan ini menjadi sangat istimewa. Bukan karena pasaran Jawa-nya Legi, tapi hari ini menjadi tonggak aksi teror masih saja terjadi. Dulu, teror dilakukan penguasa dengan cara menekan aktivis menggelar aktivitas yang dinilai merongrong kekuasaannya (sekarang pun masih terjadi dengan cara yang lebih halus), diskusi yang membicarakan persoalan sensitif (misalnya mendiskusikan pemikiran Carl Marx, Pramoedya Ananta Toer dan gerakan kiri lainnya) karena dianggap tidak sesuai dengan dasar negara. Teror negara dilakukan dengan berbagai macam bentuk dan rupa, halus sampai kasar, penculikan sampai pembunuhan.
Teror yang terjadi hari ini (kabarnya) bukan dilakukan oleh negara. Namun teror terhadap negara. Peledakan hotel JW Marriot dan Ritz Carlton. Teror kasar saya kira. Memakan korban jiwa, puluhan luka berat, ribuan warga terguncang. Teror ini pun menjadi santapan empuk para politisi (yang baru saja sibuk dengan pesta pilpres). Teror kali ini dikaitkan dengan politik.
Nah, apa bedanya teror yang dilakukan negara dan teror yang dilakukan orang (atau organisasi) dengan meledakkan hotel? Teror kali ini teror politik, atau teror akan ketidakpuasan terhadap pihak lain? Itu yang belum terungkap. (iwa)
Ps: duka cita mendalam bagi korban bom JW Marriot-Ritz Carlton.

Kuliner Jogja: Sate Misuh
Kamis (17/7/2009); Tiba-tiba, sekonyong-konyong, siang ini kepingin mencoba makan di Sate Domba Afrika di bilangan Jalan Afandi (d/h Jalan Gejayan) Jogja. Tiba di warung yang pelataran parkirnya berupa tanah berdebu, lalu mencari tempat duduk yang nyaman. Sejurus kemudian pelayan pun datang menyodorkan daftar menu. Kupilih 1 porsi sate daging, 1 jus jeruk, 1 jus jambu merah (untuk Yeni), dan dua nasi putih.
Nunggu sekitar 15 menit, hidangan sudah tersedia di meja. Dilihat dari ‘bentuknya’ enak dimakan, dan memang terbukti enak, jusnya encer, nasi putihnya ditaburi bawang merah goreng. Penuh juga perut yang tadinya kosong dengan masakan lumayan enak tersebut. Tiba waktunya pulang, namun bayar dulu. Dihitung-dihitung, ‘’Habisnya Rp 65.000 om,’’ kata si kasir. Dalam hati aku mengumpat alias misuh, ‘’Bajigur. Larang tenan.’’ Yeni pun terdiam. Dalam perjalanan pulang kami berdua pun terlibat obrolan tentang pengalaman ‘manis’ itu. ’’Cocoke warung kuwi dijenengi ’Sate Misuh’, bar mangan, bayar, njur misuh-misuh...’’ ujarku. ’’Ra arep mrono meneh, mending ke Sate Samirono, Rp 65 ewu isih susuk,’’ timpal Yeni.

Do High Income Business Opportunities Really Exist?
By Darrel Lemen
Normally finding a high income business opportunity on the internet is quite difficult than finding an ordinary opportunity. You just need to select the right high income business opportunity for you. Sometime you might not be financially fit when given a chance with one of these business opportunities.
But you need to remember that there are many business opportunities other than high income ones, but if you promote these high income opportunities well you are sure to make a high income that you are looking for.
Promoting affiliate programs is one of the best ways to get a high income business. Finding an affiliate program to promote is not a difficult task, there are loads of affiliate programs out there which you could promote. You would sure want to make sure that the program you choose is the right one where you can make some money or in other word you would like to find an affiliate program which pays you a percentage of the sales as commission. Some of these affiliate programs pay less while some pay well, the only thing you need to do is to search for the right program and this will sure help you earn a high income.
If you just don't like the idea of affiliate marketing then you need not worry there are still many more ways to get a high income business opportunity. You could just take something you like or love to do and find an opportunity related to it that could work for you. Being successful and making money all depends on what kind of business you choose, so just be smart enough to judge rightly.
One alternate to affiliate marketing is website designing. There are thousands of people in the world who want a website to promote their business. You can cash on this opportunity and make some really good money. Another option to earn some really good money could be writing content or articles for websites or blogs (there are many people who want content to be regularly updated on their sites or even want fresh articles on their sites) and so this can really fetch you some good amount of money. But you got to remember that people opt affiliate marketing over these two options because for these two options you need to set a standard and build a reputation for yourself before you turn it into a high income business.
It does not matter what you choose or decide upon, everything has a way for you to get into some high income business opportunity online. It might take you sometime with a business of your choice, but patience and persistence will surely pay off at the end.
