MY COMMENTS = ++ The causes: Beliefs - how those beliefs are applied to everyday life - the forming of families, communities, societies, governments, religious institutions, educational institutions - everything stems from personal BELIEF systems that form systemic beliefs. ++DOGMATIC CHRISTIAN BELIEFS THAT SUBJUGATE WOMEN AND DON'T ALLOW CONTRACEPTION ARE IMPORTANT HERE That is the root of the problem of the injustices caused to woman, other animals and the Earth. The cures: Permanent cure: Form an ecosystemtic belief that includes EVERYTHING - every living thing as sacred! ++AND WHAT GOOD WILL THIS DO? YOU WON'T STOP PEOPLE CUTTING DOWN TREES AND EATING DEAD ANIMALS BY SAYING THEY ARE SACRED - THEY WILL ONLY LAUGH AT THIS SUGGESTION (How to achieve that without God? My opinion - can't be done!) I say go back to God - everything back to the source! Chris says marry the dark and the light! ++VEAN IS BETTER FOR THE EARTH AND THAT IF PEOPLE DIRTY PLANET EARTH AND CUT OUT HER LUNGS THEN THEY WILL DROWN IN THEIR OWN POLLUTION AND LACK OF CLEAN AIR. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD - IT IS HUMAN GREED AND FAILING. Temporary cure for existing problem: Work at changing established institutions that hurt woman, the animals and the Earth. +START WITH THE POPE - GOOD LUCK ANGELA (How to achieve that without some spiritual support? - My opinion - can't be done!) You can't save something that others do not think is worth saving! We have to continue to work at changing or readjusting spiritual belief systems - it is at the absolute root - we need to accomodate a better universal understanding of the sacredness of all life. +ASK THE BIBLE BASHERS WHO QUOTE THE BIBLE PARROT FASHION TO CHANGE THEIR BELIEFS AND WATCH THE FIREWORKS. =========================================================================== /`\ /`\ RABBIT INFORMATION SERVICE: _ _ (/\ \-/ /\) P.O.Box 30, Riverton, Western Australia 6148 (.\_/.) )6 6( http://www.wantree.com.au/~rabbit/rabbit.htm \6 6/ >{= Y =}< VEGETARIAN PAGE =\ /= /'-^-'\ http://www.geocities/RainForest/4620 /O\ / (_) (_) / \ ( | . | U U ) | |} Pity the human race its illusion of permanence (| |)/ \_/^\_/ w'-'w ===========================================================================
