Jane's point about the woman journalist in Afghanistan is well taken, by me. No need to be divisive here. I can't believe that hitting the delete key takes "hours". If you don't like it, skip/delete it. I, for one, want the option. I'm here to learn, not argue. Just another 'lurker' John Buckley Mountains Western NC ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane Sherry To: Bdnow Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 7:30 PM Subject: Re: to Jane Sherry Dear Happy Biodynamic specialists, I really do wish you luck in trying to promote/use/educate bd methods divorced from spirituality and the great big world out there! Frankly, I am tired of being the object of people's bull shit, anger, misplaced emotions or just frustration because I have this idea that bd is part of a larger whole. I am tired of trying to explain myself and why I feel it necessary to sometimes forward posts from GlobalNews and other sources which touch on spirituality, drought, politics and war from around the world. Here in the northern hemisphere, it is winter, and usually there is a lot of conversation on this list. I don't know what's up other than the pervasive fear and paranoia that my government so successfully is spreading around. I really felt that woman journalist's piece to be totally germaine to our conversations on bdnow, because she put a human face on people, yes PEOPLE who our government is intent on demonizing. War is complex, it is never black and white. People who are our so called enemies, are still human, with spirits, souls, families and complicated life situations. Wouldn't it be nice if the US would lift the embargo so that Iraqi children and their parents could receive much needed medicines and food, especially now that we have spent umpty years polluting their country with plutonium and god only knows what else? Perhaps that would inspire their leaders to give up their weapons. Wouldn't it be nice if the embargo against me were lifted so I didn't have to process all your ire? Believe it or not, Will and the many others who no doubt complain to Allan and me on this list, I actually choose very carefully the posts I send in to bdnow. I usually (or try to) even include the OT (off topic) in the subject header even though, in my world, these posts are NOT OFF TOPIC. If you're here to only learn bd, so be it. I'm really over this stuff. For those of you who know how to use a delete key, or have a faster connection feel free to contact me privately, and I'll send you subscription info to be on the free GlobalNews mailing list which can also be accessed on the web, if you don't want all the messages coming into your mailbox. So, stay in your special bd list, your special bd world, and keep wondering how to get those ideas out in the world. Sorry, Allan, but I do have other things going on in my life, and for now, I am over and out. Call me a lurker.
