In addition to the drawbacks of this legislation as listed below, please be aware that the bill, A8704, clearly states that this state legislation supercedes U.S. constitutional protections and rights guaranteed by the 5th Amendment under U.S. law if a complaint is received against any healer using an unlicensed healing modality (sic, see above list). Also, the Commissioner may issue an ORDER DIRECTING THE PRACTITIONER TO SUBMIT TO A MENTAL OR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OR CHEMICAL DEPENDANCY EVALUATION. In other words, if A8704 is passed into law, NY State spiritual and other unlicensed healers (including priests, nuns, ministers who do laying on of hands healing) may be forced to surrender the privacy of their medical records and Snip

(US) Rep. McKinney - A hero in the demand for inquiry into 9-11 2. PEACE AND NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT: A CALL TO ACTION by Kucinich 1. From: Deborah Mokma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FWD (US) Rep. McKinney - A hero in the demand for inquiry into 9-11 Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 We have a hero in the demand for inquiry into 9-11. Congresswoman Cynthia Ann McKinney from Georgia has begun demanding that the Bush/Bin Laden connection and the bizarre fabrications making up the official story around the 9-11, WTC attacks, be FULLY INVESTIGATED. She has suffered much hate mail from this, and she needs our support. In just five years, Cynthia Ann McKinney, Georgia's first African-American Congresswoman and the only woman serving in the state's congressional delegation, has emerged as an internationally renowned advocate for voting rights, human rights and the strengthening of business ties between Africa and the United States. She is known as a passionate, intelligent, charismatic and effective member of the House of Representatives. As a Georgia state legislator from 1988 to 1992, Congresswoman McKinney gained national attention because of her determined struggle for a fair and just reapportionment plan in Georgia. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by a decisive margin in 1992, McKinney has continued that struggle. Her new district, the Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, was redrawn as a result of recent US. Supreme Court decisions challenging the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act. The New York Times reported this week the Senate committee voted unanimously to dramatically widen the 9-11 inquiries. This doesn't mean it's a done deal, it could still be glossed over. HOWEVER, with committed people of conscience like Rep. McKinney pushing and pushing behind the committees, WE COULD HAVE A REAL INQUIRY. Here's a courageous person in government who deserves our support for standing up and speaking out. Please send cards of thanks and support to: Congresswoman Cynthia Ann McKinney 124 Cannon Building Washington, DC 20515 ph 202 225 1605 fax 202 226 0691 http://www.house.gov/mckinney/ -- NOTE FROM JEAN: Here is another comment I received on this from Liz Daly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Representative McKinney is in alignment with Representative Kucinich in the fact that they want to expose the truth. She is very brave and is receiving threats... so she needs etheric, spiritual, emotional, mental support. (...) Those of bravery within the Congress of the U.S. are beginning to soar. This is a miracle. --- Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney reads her essay/commentary on the war against terrorism in an interview with Dennis Bernstein broadcast on Flashpoints on 3/25/02 -- http://www.flashpoints.net [audio at:] http://www.flashpoints.net/realaudio/fp20020325.ram [go to minute 30:00] Complete text of her (excellent) essay/commentary can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/portside/message/2198 This is an excerpt, followed by Dennis Bernstein's questions and her response: (...) And so, with no concern at all for the effects on others of US supported terrorism the US, with its bombs and military, embarked on a world-wide crusade against terrorism that Bush said likely will last as many as 20 years. The list of target countries is long, with Afghanistan, Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, the Philippines, and Iraq offering the starters. But what of the fact that Henry Kissinger and the current new US Ambassador to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, both once lobbied Washington, DC on behalf of a US oil company, Unocal, and a softer policy toward the Taliban? Whose war is this really? In November 2000 Republicans stole from America our most precious right of all, the right to free and fair elections. In an organized manner, Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State Katharine Harris created a list of convicted felons, 57,700 to be exact, to scrub from the state's voter roles. The names were created from Florida records and from lists provided by 11 other states, the largest list coming from Texas. We now know that most of the people on that list were innocent of crimes. The list was a phony. And worse, the majority of those rightful voters were people of color, and likely Democratic voters. Of the thousands who had their votes scrubbed, 80% are African Americans. Had they voted, the course of history would have

Title: Re: Plant! Congratulations Gil! Glad to hear your health is on the mend. A new bedroom is most appropriate, I'd say!

Re: Plant!
Hi! Manfred, You are welcome to ask about my bedroom. It is in a new house, built on 200 acres of granite hills country. A place with spectacular views over the harbour and gulf, but full of earth energy lines. Trying to place the house to suit view/ access/ Feng Shui/ Permaculture, while still trying to avoid the worst of the energy was a challenge. Did not want to do all my self and paid Kevin Massman to be involved and both Alanna More and Tom Graves have helped. Still have some lines that had to be staked/ coiled etc. SO wanted safest possible bed. I wanted a futon, but Fran won out with the most expensive latex one she could find (over $2000). The bed is "four by twos", on bought, turned legs, as have not got the lathe set up. Fran like to sit up and read in bed, so has a sloping bed head. There is a seven by one shirt around it to cover the slats and top of the legs. The slats are fixed, each by six 65 mm screws, they are not going anywhere. It has about 140 feet of lumber in it.

Unanticipated Blessing: The One-Straw Revolution On-line
Hello everyone, I have just uploaded to the files section of the group two electronic copies of Fukuoka's The One-Straw Revolution. One is a simple text file (232KB) that I believe all pcs and macs can handle (using notepad in windows), the other is in the pdf format (297KB) that helps retain layout features across platforms and is especially useful for printing (if you do not have a copy of the free pdf reader, then it can be downloaded from the makers, Adobe, at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.) In working on this edition I have been aware throughout of Fukuoka's wish that only his latest work be published. However, despite inquiries in Japan about an English version of this last work (see previous emails forwarded by me to this list) and Robert's kind offer to have his Japanese copy published electronically, this work is, in reality, unavailable to us. The current copyright status of the Indian Editions of The One-Straw Revolution, The Natural Way of Farming and The Road Back to Nature is as influenced by the above wishes of Fukuoka's as is my electronic copy. However, I do not wish to compare editions, the Indian editions are by far the better form in which to have the work, especially as they have (if the introduction by Partap Aggarwal is accepted) the tacit approval of The Rodale Press. I recommend to everyone to buy Fukuoka's books (see previous email for detailed order instructions) I have pared the book to the words of Fukuoka alone; there is no Preface, Introduction or Translators Note: you will find no photos either (accepting the pdf version where I have retained the two Food Mandalas as they were pertinent to the text). This edition is not a rival to the book. It is intended to fill the interval between the intriguing references to Fukuoka (in Permaculture, organic farming, sustainable technologies etc) and the often lengthy (and outside this group little known) route necessary to purchase one of his books inspired by these references. It is intended to make Fukuoka present to the agricultural world in a way he has never been before. Finally, and legalistically, this is, nominally, a copyrighted text. Whilst I would ask everyone to distribute this work as widely as possible, to send it to friends, to put it up on their websites etc, it is necessary to be aware of this fact. For the reasons outlined above, I believe in disseminating Fukuoka's work we are achieving more than is presently being achieved with the status quo. Souscayrous Yahoo!

Saving Them By Eating Them
I haven't read this article in full, but the Orion people can be relied upon for good middle of the road environmental coverage. As the host of a couple of dozen Jacobs and the steward of a flock of Rhode Island Reds and the former benefactor of a trio of Scottish Highlands, I'm glad to see this article on conserving threatened breeds appear in a publication that so many environmentalists will read.
