Forwarded message: ******************CONFERENCES AND GATHERINGS***************** WHO: The Ruckus Society WHAT: Zero Cut Action Camp WHERE: Geneva, Minnesota (90 minutes south of Minneapolis/St. Paul) WHEN: Sept 27 - Oct 4, 1998 WHY: Standing up against the bureaucratic and corporate forces that are destroying our forests will require all the skills and tactics that we have, from the simplest letter to non-violent, civil disobedience. The Zero Cut Campaign encompasses litigative, legislative, and media based components, but in the final analysis, victory will be achieved through the action of individuals. The goals of the Action Camp are to increase the effectiveness of the Zero Cut Campaign and to network activists from the human rights, environmental and social justice movements. APPLY NOW on the Ruckus web site: www.ruckus.org*** Please note: The training is FREE. A $50 donation to cover food costs is requested, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Applicants representing organizations are requested to contribute to help cover the cost of the training for those without resources ($200-$500 suggested). >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Aug 30 21:28:10 1998 From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCQFA4fTJtSVIbKEo=?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Get to the root of the problem!

In a goddess culture humanity & the earth would be considered one & not separate as we are now. certain technologies we have developed would never be considered in that kind of society such as nuke plants & oil burning. instead we would use low impact technologies to produce energy such as solar & wind power. I'm not talking about a culture that simply has goddesses. India is in that situations & it has one of the worst records of pollution & abuse of women. I'm talking about a culture where the goddess & god are partners in everything & if either tries for dominance over the other there will be a punishment for such a sin. I'm also talking about a society where the very act of sex is once again sacred & not profane as it is in our culture. In this society rape would be an extremely rare abberration hardly ever seen & punished very harshly. & not for violating a women's virtue but for violating her sacredness & the sacredness of the act of sex. children would be cherished & joyously raised by all in the village not cast aside as the result of a relationship that is now over & the result of which is just another regretful reminder of that relationship. we had all this once & then the pastoralists (sheperds) came down & started war where it have never existed before. Cain & Abel should be a hint here. The previous culture were agriculturalists. & yes they have found evidence of all this. I mentioned a book in a previous reply read it if you still don't believe me. ------ =_NextPart_000_01BDD4DA.FFFCD280 eJ8+Ih0DAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAApAMAAAAAAACnAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy
