Hi!
I am not trying to rationalize about overpopulation Joe - I am trying to make
a point about how overpopulation is caused by other things - so trying to
control it won't make the problem go away!
I do believe if we decide within our own cultural beliefs that this belief
"we can exist apart from nature - as separate from the web!" Is wrong!
Because that IS the belief that will continue to destroy us -
We bring it back to EARTH literally and figuratively - culturally across the
lines - and reconnect with nature - then we will find true healing - Back to
nature! Back to True Love!
That was our first mistake trying to disconnect from her truths!
Now Re: Beating a dead dog - trying to cure the ecosystem without discussing
and/or healing religious beliefs and getting back to the root causes is the
worse dead dog around!
Peace!
Angela

Subject: CEOs and ANARCHISM!
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I think the way I phrased it is that many who are CEOs are Christians
and they use (and some who arent Christians) Christian moral beliefs to
impose certain standards on everyone else--i.e., no fraternizing with the
boss or a boss fraternizing with his/her hired help. Normally I would not
object to such rules but it does lead to abuse by framing someone to get
that person fired or to increase ones own chances of promotion. Too many
times it all boils down to he said/she said and generally the corporations
favor the CEOs.
No I believe all corporate standards are based upon a moral Christian
standard. To me it all becomes meaningless when such things are
arbitrarily disregarded by those who impose such standards.
