It seems to me that as a public we are inundated, force fed with bad works. People who only have the media-driven force feeding for a diet don't know that they have choices, but it is my experience that many people are remarkable when supported, respected and given real information and experiences..
I'm more interested in giving the public some real choices than I am in going underground. I'm more interested in participating in every child and every adult having the choice of eating food that will truly nourish them than I am in keeping the secret of what constitutes good food. I am more interested in assisting my neighbors create gardens in their backyards, gardens built on the foundation of living soil and microbes and energy than I am in just getting healthy myself, or in selling truly good food only to the wealthy. I am more interested in getting people to talk with each other about what is real and true and good than I am in pretending that the drivel that is passed off as truth even comes close to being true.
I am more interested in rising up than I am in skulking. We all need to consider that we are teetering on the edge of bigtimeawful, and decide what our place is in that sort of time. Fear seems to drive everyone, and it is my observation that fear distorts our spirit and makes us distinctly unhappy.
I don't know how to balance it all, actually. I don't have any issue with those who want to be more private, I guess - but I don't think that going underground keeps anyone safe, and I do think that going underground inhibits the effort and keeps the numbers of the faithful small. I also think that people critical of us doubtlessly think we're deranged, not dangerous. Actually, I did a Google search on Allan Balliett and didn't find anything inflammatory or even remotely negative (possibly I missed something????).
Best to you,

Listen, also, however, to those who have made the choice to speak out, or to step forward, and respect them for their choices.Essie - How do you suggest BD NOW! could provide for the above while respecting the wishes of those who would like to do their good works outside of the public eye?
Would like to hear your plan. thanks -Allan
