You left a comment on my blog some time back and I said I’d be putting up a link to your site. I’m doing that today.

Thanks so much for posting the Carlin video! He just keeps getting more and more to the point. “It’s called The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” Phew.

Glad to hear you had a lovely time with Chris. You make some good points in your comments. Even though you and I are not involved in this agression, we can’t sit on the side lines when the whole world is teetering on the edge of destruction. We have to act. The hard thing is figuring out what to do that will be effective.

Peace,

it might be worth considering that this is not OUR war, that “we” are only invoked by the government when it suits the purposes of those who weild the power, that the US is not a democracy(likely never has been, but is blatantly not now), and that the endless war is being promoted by the corporations/governments to reap huge profits, by creating terrible chaos(known as opportunity in the world of high finance). “We” pay tribute to the government in the form of taxes. If we don’t, we are severely punished–our livelihoods are stolen from us, and we are imprisoned.

The assumption of responsibility without authority drives people mad, as it is meant to. I refuse to take responsibility for terrible cruelties I have absolutely no control over, perpetrated by people who know exactly what they’re doing, and using us and our goodwill cynically. That said, I will continue to do everything I can to let others know about the falsity of the endless, widening wars. I’ll be standing on the corner by the Post Office this evening, witnessing for peace, as we have done for the past four years.

Stay cool–how hot is it there? It’s 90 here this afternoon, but will soon fog up, but I got to wear my silk lava-lava from Molokai this afternoon, lolling with the cats in the garden.

Australia was beautiful, Chris the consummate host. We bushwalked into her favorite places in the Blue Mountains, where she was born. And she is a gourmet cook–felt like a baby bird with my mouth open, waiting… The world really is a wonderful place. More later–

Love and peace,

I am actually working on a screenplay myself, right now. My brother thought of a movie idea about an alcoholic and asked me to write it for him. I have written many plays, but this is my first screenplay. I hope that your writing goes well.

I would love to hear from you again; and thanks.

Happy Gardening!
