Statement: Rev. Jesse Jackson Following Visit w/ Stanley Tookie Williams
http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/11/46154.php Statement: Rev. Jesse Jackson Following Visit w/ Stanley Tookie Williams “What is certain is that since 1992, “Tookie” has been a voice reaching out to the voiceless. He has encouraged youth to lift themselves up so as not to end up locked up. His voice has reached impoverished and alienated youth in places police dare not tread. Through his personal transformation in prison, he has brought light to dark places because he knows where to look Statement of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. Following His Visit With San Quentin Death Row Inmate Stanley Tookie Williams FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 21, 2005 Press Contact: Butch Wing (510) 701-8955 Tracy K. Rice, Esq. (310) 994-8583 STATEMENT OF THE REV. JESSE L. JACKSON, SR. FOLLOWING HIS VISIT WITH SAN QUENTIN DEATH ROW INMATE STANLEY “TOOKIE” WILLIAMS “Today I met with “Tookie” Williams, a man who is scheduled to be killed 17 days from today. We had prayer. At the conclusion of our one and a half hour visit I told him ‘We are going to fight for you and we are going to win.' He told me that his work here is not finished. The State of California is gearing up its machinery of death based on the assumption of the certainty of this man's guilt. The State has a plan of certainty for his execution. Date certain. Time certain. But there is more uncertainty about his guilt than there is necessity for execution,” Jackson stated. “Tookie” Williams is a changed man. He stands before Governor Swarzenegger requesting clemency. There are those who state that he should not receive clemency because he has not acknowledged guilt and remorse. But this is not a legal requirement for clemency. It cannot be predicated upon a false or coerced confession of guilt or remorse. “What is certain is that since 1992, “Tookie” has been a voice reaching out to the voiceless. He has encouraged youth to lift themselves up so as not to end up locked up. His voice has reached impoverished and alienated youth in places police dare not tread. Through his personal transformation in prison, he has brought light to dark places because he knows where to look. He speaks truth to power with a sincere knowledge of what lies ahead for these youth and gives them a stark look at what their future could be if they don't renounce gang life and all that it stands for. And they listen, because he was one of them. “Tookie Williams personifies what “Redemption” is all about. He has used his time in prison to reach others and save lives. We may not be able to quantify the number of children he has saved, but I am certain that there are children in this country and abroad that would not be here had they not received his powerful message. In the days to come we will bear witness to our criminal justice system at its lowest point. As California gears up for the taking of a life, the eyes of the world are upon us. We must kill the idea of killing as a remedy to societal problems and shortcomings. We do not condone “Tookie” Williams past actions, however, the streets of California will be no safer on December 14 th should he be executed. In fact, there is reason to believe that they will be even less safe as those he would have reached in his ongoing efforts to stop children from joining gang life will never hear his message. remarked Jackson. “Today I have requested a meeting with Governor Schwarzenegger. I will urge him to grant clemency and convert Tookie Williams' sentence to life without possibility of parole. By granting clemency in this case he would be setting an example of courage over cowardice, of humanity over brutality. Commutation in this case would follow in the best traditions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Cesar Chavez. Gov. Swarzenegger has the ability to come down on the right side of history and make it clear by this single act of courage that he remains committed to the principles of justice. I will also urge the Governor to halt all executions while the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice conducts a thorough study of the state's criminal justice procedures. This Commission was formed by the state Senate in August 2004, “to study and review the administration of criminal justice in California to determine the extent to which that process has failed in the past, resulting in wrongful executions of innocent persons.' There should be a moratorium on all executions pending the completion of this official governmental body's investigation,” Jackson declared. The legislative findings will be presented to the Governor by December 31, 2007. ### Jasmyne Cannick | 4038 Mont Clair Street | Los Angeles | CA | 90018 see also: I didn't get this from somebody that was on the streets.

Sri Lanka is once again in peril with its national integrity. Sovereignty Of Sri Lanka is being assailed by the most dangerous group of terrorists, the LTTE. It is ironical and sad but true that some of the arms and ammunition which the LTTE used to attack the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, the innocent pilgrims worshipping at the sacred Bo Tree at Anuradhapura and what they will use in future for similar murders of the innocent should have come via Thailand our friendly Buddhist neighbour. - Original Message - From: phanero To: WRYTING-L@LISTSERV.UTORONTO.CA Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 8:29 AM Subject: Re: self-pity leads to run on sentences Itis in Sri Lanka,andis kept atKandy.

Re: self-pity leads to run on sentences
By 'Buddha' I was referencing karma, reincarnation, etc. I read a lot of Buddhist texts (I'm incapable of meditating), and I do have problems with these concepts. My 'Buddhism' - which is there - is a highly filtered one, dispensing with meditation (ha) and a lot of the rest - on the other hand, the logics, sutras such as Vimalakirti, etc. are intensely moving. - Alan, thanks ( URLs/DVDs/CDroms/books/etc. see http://www.asondheim.org/advert.txt - revised 7/05 )

Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 22:48:00 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors The Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors By Nicholas Wapshott in New York http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/20/wdarwin20.xml (Filed: 20/11/2005) An exhibition celebrating the life of Charles Darwin has failed to find a corporate sponsor because American companies are anxious not to take sides in the heated debate between scientists and fundamentalist Christians over the theory of evolution. The entire $3 million (?1.7 million) cost of Darwin, which opened at the American Museum of Natural History in New York yesterday, is instead being borne by wealthy individuals and private charitable donations. The failure of American companies to back what until recently would have been considered a mainstream educational exhibition reflects the growing influence of fundamentalist Christians, who are among President George W Bush's most vocal supporters, over all walks of life in the United States. While the Darwin exhibition has been unable to find a business backer - unlike previous exhibitions at the museum - the Creationist Museum near Cincinatti, Ohio, which takes literally the Bible's account of creation, has recently raised $7 million in donations. The outbreak of corporate cold feet has shocked New York's intellectuals. It is a disgrace that large companies should shy away from such an important scientific exhibition, said a trustee of another prominent museum in the city, who was told of the exhibition's funding problem by a trustee of the AMNH. They tried to find corporate sponsors, but everyone backed off. Creationism is increasingly widely backed in America. A CBS News poll last month found that 51 per cent of Americans reject the theory of evolution, believing instead that God created humans in their present form. Another poll in August found that 38 per cent of Americans think that creationism should be taught in schools, instead of evolution. In Dover, Pennsylvania, last week, a jury began considering a case brought by parents against a school board that insisted that intelligent design, which argues that a supernatural force populated the earth, be taught alongside evolution in science classes. The AMNH is coy about its failure to find corporate money to mount the exhibition, which will tour the US before moving to London's Natural History Museum in 2009 to mark the bicentenary of Darwin's birth. Asked which companies had refused to give money, Gary Zarr, the museum's marketing director, said he would have to ask those concerned before he could identify them. Steve Reichl, a press officer for the AMNH, said a list of forthcoming exhibitions was sent to potential sponsors and none wanted to back the Darwin exhibition. He declined to reveal which companies, or how many, had been approached. The Bank of America previously sponsored a similar exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci and the financial services provider TIAA-CREF funded an Albert Einstein show. A prominent Metropolitan Museum donor said: You can understand why the Museum of Natural History might not want to admit such a thing. They are concerned about finding corporate funding for exhibitions in the future. The museum will have to depend more heavily upon the profits of its Darwin-related merchandise to finance the cost of staging the exhibition, including a 12-inch Darwin doll, Darwin finger puppets and, for a $950, a replica of the vessel Beagle, made in China and assembled in Vietnam. Niles Eldredge, the exhibition's curator, confirmed that the exhibition was intended to redress the balance in the battle between scientists and creationist Christians being fought across the country. This is for the schoolchildren of America, he said.

Re: Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors (fwd)
It's unbelievable. I keep thinking continuously how thin civilization, whatever passes for enlightenment, is. Look at the letters of Pliny the Younger, or all those poets writing towards the end of the Roman Empire. Things are always near collapse; belief and inerrancy are just around the corner. It's always frightening and there's no relief. I just read Mark Twain on King Leopold II's actions in the Congo - around 1905 - there were fifteen million killed, more or less on his orders - the population of the Congo dropped from 25m to 10m...

The failure of American companies to back what until recently would have been considered a mainstream educational exhibition reflects the growing influence of fundamentalist Christians, who are among President George W Bush's most vocal supporters, over all walks of life in the United States. While the Darwin exhibition has been unable to find a business backer - unlike previous exhibitions at the museum - the Creationist Museum near Cincinatti, Ohio, which takes literally the Bible's account of creation, has recently raised $7 million in donations. The outbreak of corporate cold feet has shocked New York's intellectuals. It is a disgrace that large companies should shy away from such an important scientific exhibition, said a trustee of another prominent museum in the city, who was told of the exhibition's funding problem by a trustee of the AMNH. They tried to find corporate sponsors, but everyone backed off. Creationism is increasingly widely backed in America. A CBS News poll last month found that 51 per cent of Americans reject the theory of evolution, believing instead that God created humans in their present form. Another poll in August found that 38 per cent of Americans think that creationism should be taught in schools, instead of evolution. In Dover, Pennsylvania, last week, a jury began considering a case brought by parents against a school board that insisted that intelligent design, which argues that a supernatural force populated the earth, be taught alongside evolution in science classes. The AMNH is coy about its failure to find corporate money to mount the exhibition, which will tour the US before moving to London's Natural History Museum in 2009 to mark the bicentenary of Darwin's birth. Asked which companies had refused to give money, Gary Zarr, the museum's marketing director, said he would have to ask those concerned before he could identify them. Steve Reichl, a press officer for the AMNH, said a list of forthcoming exhibitions was sent to potential sponsors and none wanted to back the Darwin exhibition. He declined to reveal which companies, or how many, had been approached. The Bank of America previously sponsored a similar exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci and the financial services provider TIAA-CREF funded an Albert Einstein show. A prominent Metropolitan Museum donor said: You can understand why the Museum of Natural History might not want to admit such a thing. They are concerned about finding corporate funding for exhibitions in the future. The museum will have to depend more heavily upon the profits of its Darwin-related merchandise to finance the cost of staging the exhibition, including a 12-inch Darwin doll, Darwin finger puppets and, for a $950, a replica of the vessel Beagle, made in China and assembled in Vietnam. Niles Eldredge, the exhibition's curator, confirmed that the exhibition was intended to redress the balance in the battle between scientists and creationist Christians being fought across the country. This is for the schoolchildren of America, he said.

Have you, anybody, read Twain's War Prayer? If not, do. It's eerily relevant to today. (Or maybe not so eerily, alas.) m On Nov 22, 2005, at 9:02 PM, Alan Sondheim wrote: It's unbelievable. I keep thinking continuously how thin civilization, whatever passes for enlightenment, is. Look at the letters of Pliny the Younger, or all those poets writing towards the end of the Roman Empire. Things are always near collapse; belief and inerrancy are just around the corner. It's always frightening and there's no relief. I just read Mark Twain on King Leopold II's actions in the Congo - around 1905 - there were fifteen million killed, more or less on his orders - the population of the Congo dropped from 25m to 10m...
