Anyway, it would have said something like this: At gatherings there are
certain people who feel attracted to the talking, counsel, heart song and
other sharing circles at gatherings. Main circle, quite unlike the ones
at the, much smaller in case, european gatherings, attracts 'politicians'
from morn to night; while others busy themselves with chopping wood and
hauling water, these do gooders are discussing rules for which they elaborate
on reasons and mean to inspire live-up-to-ers, enforcers and praps clone
proselytizers, crescendoing up to dinner time during which the more audience
friendly, basic and entertaining acts find their prime time slot such as
the lady with the 7 colour apron which shows you the seven categories of
recyclable material one must sort and seperate.
Anyway, the pro-politicians are impolite enough to saddle up/bless others
with their preferred chore/talent and will not worry about any other but
mental infrastructure thus contracting bad circulation etc.

felons, Monday's USA Today reported." TRANSLATION:
>Let's send up a trial baloon to see who's paying attention. If there's
lots of screaming and hollering and pressure from Congress, we'll say that
we were just studying whether it was legal. "The

fingerprints of millions of Americans into state crime databases, even
if they were never convicted of a crime."
Dots of fascism. Do you know of others?
++++++++++++++++ It is
only fascistic if it is a one way system; under reciprocity, a kind of
selfscrutiny by others everybody benefits; it's the poor that have nothing
to hide nor lose. That's the game the high and mighty are gonna learn fast,
you watch. >1.
Repeated attempts to get manufacturers to include in all computers a data
encryption chip (Clipper Chip) that "Law Enforcement" could decode after
obtaining a court order. Industry and the public has strenuously
objected. ++++++++++++++++++ If "industry
and public" can't make a fist other than one that runs away with them they
only have themselves to blame.
>2. A several year effort to suppress the
widespread public and commercial use of really secure (128 bit)data encryption.
The excuse is that terrorist might be able to keep secrets
The real reason
is that ordinary citizens will be able to keep facists security geeks out
of their business. +++++++++++++++ now, there
you said it yourself
Commerce Dept. has classified such software
as "Armaments" and made it illegal to send it out of the country by any
method.
>3. Attempts by FBI and other agencies to get telephone equipment manufacturers
to modify their equipment so that digital evedropping would be easier.
>4. Recently the Secret Service in collusion with a couple of Congressmen
has been caught fronting for a private company that wants to buy up the
photo drivers licenses from several states and create an ID database.
>5. A "Know Your Customer" proposal by banking regulators that would require
banks to track the normal account activity of a customer and report any
abnormal deviation. Require banks to report deposits or withdrawals over
$5,000 (not sure about the amount). Require banks to obtain positive
picture ID and social security number before opening an account. +++++++++++++++++
We can agree to that after legislation is passed that make all political
(and that includes private investment) deals available live, at least to
those affected.
>6. Picture IDs are now required to book and
board a flight. ++++++++++++++++ oh well,
no more cheap tickets off of college ride boards I guess.
>7. The gutting of the Maranda Rule that required
that arrested people be read their right to remain silent and avoid self
encrimination.
>8. A new expanded list of Federalized Crimes.
>9. Electronic ankle bracelets to track criminals under house arrest.
>10. A satellite can now pinpoint your location within 3 yards by a chip
imbedded under your skin or otherwise attached to you.
>11. Police are increasingly posting video surveillance cameras at intersections,
shopping areas, parks, and any public area that they want to monitor from
their desk.
>12. Driver liscenses now have a magnetic strip so that a cop can go to
his car and have a readout on whether there are any outstanding warrants

Start of the comments on the uwa tribe in colombia; they
got me chucked of the warriornet courtesy Mr demagogue Louis Proyect (considering
the awful lot of sentiments I do share with him, I shall take this as a
cautioning for myself): Why
do all the bad things seem to be favored with exclusive rights to people's
attention? The latest attesting evidence is this barrage of bloody news
from Colombia.
As far as I ingest stuff from thereabouts I can with pride announce that
these yellow bent fruitbodies are ligitimate, organically grown bananas
from right around there and receive one of the prettyest stickers in the
business: a multicoloured parrot surrounded with the words: colombian biobanana
or some such (arc)line.
My new doctor has the same approach as I do with the rockdust application:
a bottom on up one. Don't try to figure and diagnose deficiencies and then
try a measly one or 2 elements in specially expensive lab prepared cocktails;
instead, dwell on what is still (halfway) good and stimulate the unstuck
pluck-fuck into it!!!!!!!!!!!1
In the case of applying rockdust this need not cost much more than 20 dollars
per ton if you don't have to haul it a long way and/or are willing to sweat
for it.
In the case of bioresonance the harmony presented the cells by way of riffs,
ladders, scales and symphonies of frequency cascades running through all
reachable octaves gets your resistence up and fighting to win in no time.
It makes me sad to have to suspect a lot of people are secretly addicted
to adrenalin stirring bad news cause it justifies and perpetuates their

this next piece is by the people who, it is rumored repeatedly, threaten
to commit collective suicide if their traditional territories are violated,
infringed and disrespected much more by either oil companies and pawn governments
or revolutionary rebels. There are 5000 and/or 8000 of these "Uwa", I saw
these 2 figures so far If you like I can send more.....and more....and
different too....if you like....me....to....o
this first bit was near
the end but I find it striking: From 1940
to 1970, the Colombian governnment took away more than 85% of U'wa traditional
territory. Since 1940, contact diseases, violence, and loss of land have
killed more than 18,000 U'wa. Two U'wa clans were completely exterminated.
The current territory of the U'wa is barely 386 square miles, far too small
to produce enough food to sustain the tribe.
In 1992, Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum was granted exploration
rights to much of the traditional U'wa territory in a combined venture
with Shell Oil and the Colombian government.
U'wa tradition recounts that a portion of the U'wa tribe committed suicide
400 years ago rather than surrender to the Spanish Conquistadores. The
U'wa have compared current developments on their land to that time in their
history, and have not ruled out another mass suicide.

2 Worked on a statewide campaign in Arkansas that won a radical
campaign finance law to limit the influence of corporations and wealthy
individuals in politics.
3 Built sustainable community organizations that have empowered
low-income and minority residents and won progressive social change in
New York, Boston, St. Louis, Denver, and other cities.>+++++++++++++
>=That's wonderful but I sense a lack of personifying and personalizing
the low and broad end (in the sense I outlined above) of the pyramid we
all live in. Private Persons employ a principle which when succesful long
enough becomes an instituted policy. Most commercial tricks keep victims
and those who buy in sedate. Dead end singleminded bait lays and lies with
death in wait. We'll have to really watch out now cause corporations harvest
their constituency faster since they upped the reproduction rate.

I totally agree with you...it's a great book. Jenny Tannoch-Bland actually
rehashed her own version from the work of American academic, Peggy McIntyre,
"White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See
Correspondences Through Work in Women's Studies", reprinted in Race, Class
and Gender: An Anthology, eds Margaret L. Anderson and Patricia Hill Collins,
Wordsworth Publishing, Ca, 1992
>Paul, i am pretty

White Race Privilege >1.

most of the time.
>2. I can avoid spending time with people who oppress me on the basis of
my race. >3. I can
be reasonably confident that most work places my race will be in the majority,
and in any case that I will not feel as isolated as the only, often token,
member of my race. >4. I can
rent or purchase housing in any area that I can afford.
>5. I expect neighbours will be neutral or friendly to me.
>6. If my white neighbours
disturb the peace (statistically most
>neighbours in Australia are white) I can act confidently requesting them
to desist without fear of being responded to on the basis of race.
>8. When I watch TV and read the papers I see people of my race widely
and positively represented.
>9. When I am told about Australian history or about 'civilisation' I am
shown that people of my colour have made it what it is.
>10. I can rest assured that my children are given curriculum materials
that testify to the existence and importance of their race.
>11. I could as an unmarried mother in the 70's admit myself to any Queensland
hospital to have a baby, confident that the child would not be taken from
me because of my race.
>12. I can send my children to school in unironed uniforms without it reflecting
on my race. >13. I can let my children
travel to and from school by bus confident they will not be harassed because
of the colour of their skin. >14. I do not
travel in taxis to avoid racial harassment on public transport.
>15 as a woman I can venture into public spaces alone fairly confident
that I will not be harassed.
>16. I do not have to fear that the male members of my family could be
put in a cell instead of an emergency ward.
>18. I can be casual about whether or not to listen to the voices of indigenous
people. >23. I can find
the writings of my race well represented in any bookshop; and make-up suiting
my skin colour in any chemist.
>24. I can get 'flesh' colour bandages which match the colour of my skin.
>25. I know that my skin colour will not work against me or my children
in court. 27. My children don't
come home from school filled with the pain of experiencing white race privilege
everyday. 29. I can talk with
my mouth full, swear, wear body piercings, shop at Lifeline, or not answer
letters, without these actions being seen as a reflection on the bad manners,
bad morals, poverty, illiteracy or laziness of my race.
30. I can dress down or get drunk in public without reinforcing negative
stereotypes about my race.
31. When I speak in public my race is not on trial
32. Through my achievements I am not called a credit to my race
>33. Nobody asks me to speak for all the people in my racial group.
>38. I can worry about racism without being seen as self interested or
angry. >40. My size, posture
and body odour are not seen as a reflection on my race.
>41. When I win a job or a scholarship, I am not suspected of doing so
because of my race rather than my merit. p. 34-36 Bringing Australia Together,
Jenny Tannoch-Bland
this is just a part of an essay that Jenny wrote addressing this issue.
The book itself I highly recomend too.
