[FairfieldLife] RE: Waging Radical Peace, A Call to Group Meditations

Conflict resolution needed! 

 The UN and the Red Cross said a "catastrophic" situation threatened millions 
who rely on life-saving aid.

 

 Aid agencies are seeking urgent access for humanitarian supplies to war-torn 
Yemen, after the Saudi-led coalition closed all routes into the country.

From your article: 

 "It’s a wild tale, and the timeline of the entire thing doesn’t exactly match 
up with what we know thanks to space agencies and researchers from around the 
world, including Russia. In an interview, Kipriyanovich’s parents note that, 
thanks to his ability to read at a very young age, he would often read books on

 When the world looks at the United States, it sees a land of exceptions: a 
time-tested if noisy democracy, a crusader in foreign policy, an exporter of 
beloved music and film.
 But there is one quirk that consistently puzzles America’s fans and critics 
alike. Why, they ask, does it experience so many mass shootings?
 Perhaps, some speculate, it is because American society is unusually violent. 
Or its racial divisions have frayed the bonds of society. Or its citizens lack 
proper mental care under a health care system that draws frequent derision 
abroad.
 These explanations share one thing in common: Though seemingly sensible, all 
have been debunked by research on shootings elsewhere in the world. Instead, an 
ever-growing body of research consistently reaches the same conclusion.
 The only variable that can explain the high rate of mass shootings in America 
is its astronomical number of guns.

Mass Shootings The top-line numbers suggest a correlation that, on further 
investigation, grows only clearer.
 Americans make up about 4.4 percent of the global population but own 42 
percent of the world’s guns. From 1966 to 2012, 31 percent of the gunmen in 
mass shootings worldwide were American, according to a 2015 study by Adam 
Lankford http://adamlankford.com/research.htm, a professor at the University of 
Alabama.

 Adjusted for population, only Yemen has a higher rate of mass shootings among 
countries with more than 10 million people — a distinction Mr. Lankford urged 
to avoid outliers. Yemen has the world’s second-highest rate of gun ownership 
after the United States.

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: Stopping Iowa Select - CAFOs

[Dick Mays dickm...@lisco.com [FairfieldLife]]

 


 

Bhavani,

Iowans are saying NO MORE factory farms and YES to clean water and our quality 
of life.

Last night, dozens of CCI members and others in north central Iowa met to 
strategize how we fight back and pressure Iowa Select -- Iowa's largest hog 
factory corporation -- the Department of Natural Resources, and our elected 
officials to stop Iowa Select's applications to build 19 new factory farms.

And, last week, more than 350 CCI members sent emails directly to Iowa Select 
CEO Jeff Hansen to asking for a meeting – but he still has not responded to our 
request. 

>>Can you take two minutes to keep the pressure on?<<

Sign this petition 

 at: https://iowacci.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=40&reset=1

calling on Jeff Hansen to withdraw all factory farm applications and meet with 
community members impacted by Iowa Select’s factory farms

Please respond to this email to let us know what Iowa Select says about our 
request. 

If approved, Jeff Hansen’s factory farms will dump an estimated 36.7 million 
gallons of untreated manure on our land and into our water.  He gets the 
profits – we get the pollution. 

Let’s make him feel the pressure from Iowans to want an ag system the works for 
farmers, workers, eaters, and the environment – not for big polluters just 
looking to make a buck.

They DUMP it! You DRINK it! We won’t STOP til’ they clean it up!
