I think it'sot an unusual Indian name, only he's a New Zealander. "Aziz Choudry is based in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and is organiser for GATT Watchdog, who were once dubbed grumpy geriatric communists who tuck their shirts into their underpants by former New Zealand politician-turned-WTO Director General Mike Moore." Good writer, IMO, done some good reports. If you liked that, you'd probably like this: http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strategy/Discussion/2002-09- 18Roy.html Come September by Arundhati Roy Comment: "...this profound speech, its depth and language, brought tears to my eyes." >Thanks again, Keith, for posting so many worth- >while "non-biodiesel" links :-) I'm glad you value them. It's not a biodiesel list though, it's a biofuels list, which does makes a difference, somewhat - much broader subject, with more of an essential context. I don't accept that posts such as Choudry's piece ("What's this off-topic political crap got to do with biodiesel?" - LOL!) are off-topic at all. Generally they amplify issues already discussed here, but in any event they're most relevant to biofuels issues. Anyone planning to make biodiesel who doesn't realise they'd be flying in the face of powerful corporate interests which will stand in the way of the spread of biodiesel use, and especially of the spread of small-scale, decentralised fuel and energy supply such as they'd be doing, would be very naive. We should know what we're up against. Also there are list members in other countries, quite a lot of them, active in biofuels issues, who can't easily access this material, and some of them really appreciate it. It doesn't do the archives any harm either. >I'd just like to know about some of >those grassroots resistance movements in my own backyard. I think >they're all in PRISON already..... -K :-) Yeah, not a joke, I know. But I'm sure there are grassroots resistance movements just over the back fence these days, if not in your yard. They're all converging now, in the US and elsewhere - labour and environmentalists, which must be a first, anti-corporate media campaigners, anti-corporate globalization campaigners, anti-war/occupation campaigners, women's groups, pensioners incensed at being ripped off over Medicare, you name it. I was thinking quite a long time ago, pre-9/11, that this in-your-face administration (?) would radicalise a lot of people who'd have slumbered peacefully on if the other guy'd won. Okay, so he did win, but you see what I mean - that would have been business-as-usual, but the difference between Occidental and Halliburton is only one of degree, if even that, and this isn't business-as-usual.
