Re: Concerns and Tactics

So what happens Peggy if one like you (who beleives in dialogue with oponents) is dependent with his life on one like Paul (Who does not beleive in dialogue between people who disagree) and you deeply disagree on many levels? You know from the OsOnOs that I am deeply involved in that question. I ju

Creating OS comunity in one`s country

Re: Taking action

Peggy, I hope there is something to do in order to prevent a war. How to preserve the evolving of a more chaotic - self organized and not controled world is bothering me lot. I agree that in creating an open space/society the aspiration should be to include all the extremes. But I think that the s
