Well, the race here in the third is really heating up....I saw one Valdis R. sign and one Trish Shilling sign. And oddly enough no Olin Moore lawnsigns up yet as far as I can tell.....Meanwhile, I continue to cultivate University, 2nd street, thirteenth avenue for lawnsigns. Just when I think that's about it for precinct five I have another taker. I'm even surprised by the interest. Shane has precinct gardeners in one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, and ten. It appears we are the only campaign that is seriously knocking every door in every precinct. The vast majority of residents have an open mind about the green party, wanting to know more....oh my curiosity. By knocking every door, and speaking with people, I'm seeing the great variety of political leanings, tonight I met a green who had only good things to say about Ken Pentel, I met a libertarian that didn't seem to happy letting all the cold air in. I met a couple walking their dog, they were just talking about the race, when I passed them some lit. He told me he voted for Dean in the last election, and he planned on giving Shane a serious look. And just regular folks who are interested in our democratic processes..... Hey, can we change the city charter to have the election for this part of the year? I could get use to this.
Robert Yorga St. Anthony West Gardening at Night........... "All things in the universe move from subtle to the manifest and back again. Whether the form is that of a star or a person, the process is the same. First, the subtle energy exists. Next, it becomes manifest and takes on life. After a time, the life passes away, but the subtle energy goes on, either returning to the subtle realm, where it remains, or once again attaching to manifest things. The character of your existence is determined by the energies to which you connect yourself. If you attach yourself to the gross energies, loving this person, hating that clan, rejecting one experience or habitually indulging in another, then you will lead a series of heavy, attached lives. This can go on for a very long and tedious time. The way of the integral being is to join to the higher things. By holding to that which is refined and subtle, she traverses refined and subtle realms. If she enters the world, she does so lightly, without attachment. In this way she can go anywhere without leaving the center of the universe." -from the Hua Hu Ching _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
