Greetings from Australia again. Still meeting wonderful people, enjoying beautiful scenery and events. The Rainbow Gathering was a nice "welcoming home" even though our rental car didn't manage too well on the forest roads. The leaches and tics are not as bad a challange as the immigration laws that we don't seem to qualify for long term stay. A great week to everyone "Odyseus" George and the mobile family tree LIFESTYLE/ ARTS/ CULTURE/ ETC: Nov 3 to Dec 3 Entheogensis Australis Gathering near Melbourne
European Rainbow Gathering updates fantuzzi + and the lovalution fri sc sat mill valley and around the world "Government-funded researchers and private companies are working on a new breed of pharmaceuticals designed to police your blood, identify illegal drugs, and block them from entering your brain. The CCLE is concerned that some courts may require use of these new "anti-drug" drugs as a condition of receiving probation in drug possession cases. One such drug, known only as SR141716 targets marijuana inside the body. If SR141716 is imposed as a probation condition it, alone, could affect nearly 700,000 people each year who are arrested for marijuana-related offenses."

When a nation manifests a mixture of mass ignorance and official mendacity, in combination with uncheck power emanating from an insular and arrogant elite, a golden age of peace and plenty is as possible as holding a tea dance in a tsunami. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18491.htm "Let's Try Partitioning The US" By Linda S. Heard Isn't Iraq supposed to be a sovereign nation with an elected government? If so, then why is
the US Senate attempting to meddle in its affairs by overwhelmingly passing a resolution calling for the country's partition into three, which is tantamount to ethnic cleansing? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18493.htm Very Bloody Oil by Rowan Wolf "How much is it costing? Well there are the
measurable costs, such as $10 Billion a month, or the almost 3,800 U.S. troops that have given their lives, or the almost 38,000 U.S. troops who are casualties, or the 144 who have taken their own lives. But all of that pales in magnitude to the estimated 1.2 million Iraqi¨ˆs who have died as a result of the U.S. invasion and the dominoes that has set falling." The Empire Stumbles on©¼by John Steppling "The invention of a *war on terror* is a product of the need for more military spending, and the US needs military spending to keep the
economy afloat. US workers are so without class consciousness that they do not notice they are being used to help prop up an ever shakier Imperialist economy. Reagan helped destroy unions, and today that word has simply disappeared. The empire of propaganda has expanded too, and all opposition has been neutralized. Since 9/11 the free press, limited as it already was, has totally disappeared." Howling in the Belly of the Confederacy by Joe Bageant "Like most modern Southerners who've fled their native states for long periods of time, I have
the standard love/hate relationship with my home town -- Winchester, Virginia. On one hand, it is a backward and mostly irrelevant place where the question of whether Stonewall Jackson had jock itch at the Battle of Chancellorsville still rages right alongside evolution and abortion. To be sure, it is the standard venal Southern place, where poverty and ugliness are thrust into one's face daily, with all the gothic family melodramas of greed and intrigue so often written about Southern novels. On the other hand, it is the place that made me who I am, a moralizing, preachy and essentially lazy bastard who likes to drink. I was raised a Pentecostal Baptist, steeped in the gloomy ultra-Protestant assumption that man is a worthless, evil thing from
birth and only goes downhill from there. And I still managed to become a raving, socialist heathen. Which proves there's hope for everyone." The Radical Right¨ˆs Weakness by The Rockridge Institute "The
radical Right is acutely aware of cases where the general public has progressive values and would ordinarily reject their agenda. The Right¨ˆs approach to such cases is deception, often through the use of Orwellian language ¡Ö language that means the opposite of what it says."
