this is an interesting point. media may distract or marginalize
awareness. the selection of story or text implicates editorial
interests. in the previous discussion a relationship between business
and eco destruction and inherited systems for the corporate descent
(patriarchal inheritance) of wealth or power (law) continues to colonize
the market. human social webs, manifest in symbols and stories, maintain
ecology, or piratize, colonize, develop...
we were recently engaged in a discussion of events om Belgium, the
possibility of the old burghers system, men in business asociations and
funny hats preventing justice... redefining the problem as who is
wearing the funny hats i mentioned that it is still more likely that the
judge of the child sex scandal there will have been personally involved
with pornography than have borne a child.
in my belief, imperilled, silenced voices speak truth. listening well
to our ecosystem, to each other, begins to situate us in the web. the
voices i would like to hear here are unlikely to have access, nurturers,
manual farm laborers, old people watching the climate change... species
drift, people who have lived in one place for generations, the victims
of chernobyl. tucking out, i would like to mention that here in the
united states deeply held christian beliefs motivated leaders in the
civil rights movement and are still visible among people of conscience
and color working for social change. recently, i have been personally
surprised. my work with individuals with extreme disability has led me
to reconsider my "politically" correct views about abortion.
Stephanie, your points are elegant
thank you...

hello I received your address through a colleague, I will be presenting
at a conference on the topic on women online. I plan to address the fact
that only 10% of public messages on the Internet are posted by women. I
would like to be able to point the attendees to great online resources
for women and entertain any thoughts on how educators can get and keep
women on line. If you have any thoughts on this, or web addresses that
would help me to prepare it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
