lidingöbrat

The lidingö-brat lives in a suburb to Stockholm called Lidingö. It's an island which they rarely leaves, they rather live in their "bubble", and the result of that is that all the lidingö-brats have all made out with each other. If they ever leave their bubble, they're usually seen at Stureplan, where they flash their (parent's) money and "vaskar". They spend most of their monthly allowance (read their parents money) on bronzing powder, tanning beds and paying older siblings for cigarettes and booze. They have all adapted to the "Lidingö accent" where the "i" is pronounced as "yyyiiii" which is seen as a sign of wealth. They get more and more slutty for every generation. Easily spotted in the croud due to their red/bright blue winterjacket worn all year around aka a fjällräven or canada goose.

- So do you like him?
- No, he's such a lidingöbrat.

Leading from Behind

When a leader creates or empowers a grassroot group to do their bidding, especially in cases where it would be illegal for leading direct efforts (e.g. Bush Doctrine of preemptive regime change) or where it would be consider imperialist, etc.. This type of support and empowerment can be mutually beneficial for the leader and the grassroot group. However, it can be to the detriment to one or the other (or both) if there is a separation of interests. As the grassroot group develops leadership roles the new leaders may take the group in a very different direction that is beneficial to the grassroot group, or the empowerer may begin to choose or control the leaders and take it in a very different direction. In the early stages the new leaders in the grassroot groups may be weak and depend on the support of the outside leader to consolidate power. However, over time a leader may consolidate power for their own interest, or the new grassroot leaders and the outside leaders may work to the detriment of the grass roots group. This is especially true in cases where the outside and/or inside leader(s) have goals inconsistent with the grassroot groups. In a lot of cases the result is total chaos with the consolidated groups fragmenting into self interest groups who compete and who don't know how to cooperate.

Recently Obama has been successful with his policy of "leading from behind" in Libya, however, it is yet to be seen if the grassroot groups will achieve any of Obama's goals.

Leading from Behind is a dominant foreign strategy of USA Presidents. While it worked in Vietnam, Cambodia, Middle East, Africa. Panama, Afghanistan initially it failed miserably in the long run because of corruption and almost complete movement away from the goals of the original grassroot group and often the group leading from behind. In places like Cuba it failed miserably yet continued, because it satisfied the special interests of the Cuban exiles.

avril lavinge

The spelling is "Lavigne", but whatever. This girl's music is the kind that makes me long for the days of Joe Strummer and Johnny Rotten.

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL: I love Avril, so I must be punk.

SENSIBLE PERSON: No, child, you are not punk for liking Avril.
