Thank you James, for an unemotional presentation of what I think is really at stake. This is what has been incomprehensible to me about all this anger. If we, a diverse community who share at least one common pulse, of the desire to produce and consume enlightened food in a sustainable way, and to teach others to do so, cannot get along without acrimony and rage, how can we expect our governments and citizens of the world to wake up to loving community and compassion for all beings?
I have never set out rules on this list, I simply made assumptions about what was acceptable, which I have done as many of you know for over 5 years. Martha was trying to help, but it does seem to be easier once again, to post the sub info for GlobalNews & keep in mind that once you subscribe you can choose the web option which means you can select which messages you want to read and do not have any coming in your email box. Many of the spiritual posts are from GlobalNews as well. The New York Times is also online. Please everyone, I am over seeing my name as subject headers. Can we move on?
