Dear each and everyone of you.
The words " Law of two feet" or " The law of two feet" gives me responsibility to do what I need to do and reminds me / expresses, that others have the same right.
Love from wet and cold / yet still warm Denmark

>Dear All,
>after a wonderful open space we had in Strasbourg recently with participants
>from about 30 European countries, I found myself in front of the poster with
>the law of the two feet, thinking: wouldn't it be more personal, more
>concrete, more logical to call it "the law of my two feet?" For me the law
>is the most basic thing in os concerning self-organization... being
>responsible for myself and MY two feet.
>What do you think?
>For the Germans in the list: I tried to translate it, but I'm not satisfied
>yet about "Das Gesetz meiner (beiden) Füße"...
>Waiting for your opinions...
>Autumnal greetings from Berlin
