Why Bob Marley can't rest in peace
As musicians gather in Ethiopia to celebrate what would have been the 60th
birthday of Jamaica's biggest music star, Ian Burrell reports on how a new
controversy has erupted over his remains
01 February 2005

To borrow a phrase from Shakespeare, the 200,000 people expected to gather
for a historic concert in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, on Sunday will
come to praise Bob Marley but not to bury him. The Africa Unite concert on 6
February was dreamt up as the culmination of a week of celebrations, which
begin today, in memory of the 60th anniversary of the birth of the late
reggae superstar. Tonight, the life of one of the most iconic musical
figures of the late 20th century will be celebrated at a spectacular opening
ceremony at Addis Ababa city hall.

But the festivities have been almost overshadowed by an almighty row over
Marley's final resting place. As plans for the week were being
enthusiastically finalised, a thunderbolt came from nowhere: Ethiopia was
briefly set to be not just the venue for a music festival but a mausoleum
for the remains of a man who has become a symbol of the culture of his
native country, Jamaica.

The suggestion was made by Marley's wife, Rita, who was in Addis to organise
the concert and its related events. According to the Associated Press news
agency reporter Anthony Mitchell, Ms Marley told him: "We are working on
bringing his remains to Ethiopia. It is part of Bob's own mission." In what
was promptly taken as a slight on the Caribbean nation with whom Marley's
name is synonymous, Rita allegedly added: "Bob's whole life is about Africa,
it is not about Jamaica. How can you give up a continent for an island? He
has a right for his remains to be where he would love them to be. This was
his mission. Ethiopia is his spiritual resting place. With the 60th
anniversary this year, the impact is there and the time is right."

The story was instantly picked up by media outlets around the world. Jamaica
reacted with indignation. Diana Ginter wrote to The Jamaica Observer to
complain: "What about his spiritual ties to Jamaica? Wasn't Bob born and
raised in Jamaica and didn't he call Jamaica home?" "Has Rita lost her
mind?" wrote P Chin to the Jamaica Gleaner. "Bob loved Jamaica. He wouldn't
have made it his home if it were otherwise."

Possibly taken aback by the response, Rita Marley went to ground, refusing
to return calls. A representative of the Rita Marley Foundation told the
Gleaner: "There's absolutely no truth to the story, and I'm quoting Mrs
Marley to you. I spoke with her this morning as it relates to the story,
because we have been getting calls, and she said that there were no such
plans."

Desta Meghoo-Peddie, of the Bob Marley Foundation, weighed in to say that
Rita's words had been "twisted". AP said that the interview had been taped
and that other reporters had been present.

What is certain is that the issue had touched a raw nerve. For some
observers the row was, more than anything, about the terse relationship
between the Cuba-born Ms Marley and the people of Jamaica, who she feels
have not always given her the respect she deserves.

Tony Sewell, Jamaican author of Garvey's Children: the Legacy of Marcus
Garvey, says: "What's interesting about this is Rita's position. This goes
back to the whole situation around the will and how the Marley property was
divided up. She has been marginalised in the story and part of this is that
she wants to reinvent herself within the Marley context."

Rita Marley has already caused outrage in Jamaica by claiming that her
husband raped her. Speaking from the Caribbean island, Michael Edwards,
features writer on The Jamaica Observer, says: "There's a fair amount of
lingering malcontent against Rita stemming from the previous controversy
over her book, in which she initially claimed he had forcible sex with her,
and later rescinded. That started some bad feeling among the general public
who still hold Bob Marley in a very, very high regard." That book - Rita's
autobiography, No Woman No Cry - was published in May last year and is being
"released" again at the Africa Unite festival, the day after the big
concert.

If Marley's widow had hired a publicist they could have achieved no greater
interest than the worldwide story that has reignited interest in her book
and in the Africa Unite concert (VIP tickets: US$100), which had until the
furore attracted surprisingly little interest. But out of the acrimony has
come a positive in the form of the recognition by Jamaicans of just how
highly they regard the island's most famous son.

Bob Marley, who died of cancer in 1981 at the age of 36, has through his
musical legacy come to epitomise the Jamaican spirit of triumph through
adversity. As a Rastafarian he was a follower of the former Ethiopian leader
Haile Selassie. He believed in the doctrine of the repatriation to Africa of
the descendants of slaves who were shipped to the West. He wrote mighty
anthems of African liberation, including "War", "Zimbabwe" and "Africa
Unite". But he was also the artist who more than any before or since has
epitomised the Jamaican heartbeat sound of reggae. It was not for nothing
that the island's tourist board adopted his "Smile Jamaica" to lure foreign
visitors with its uplifting message of a people determined to enjoy
themselves.

But Rita Marley does not enjoy a similar relationship with Jamaica. She left
the island for Ghana, and the logo for her Rita Marley Foundation is the
outline of the continent of Africa, with her face inset.

She met "Robbie" Marley when she was a teenager, living with her aunt in the
deprived Trenchtown district of the Jamaican capital, Kingston. He was then
a member of the upcoming group the Wailing Wailers. The son of a white
British Army captain, Norvel Marley - who in effect abandoned him - and a
young black country girl, Cedella, Bob was sent to Kingston at the age of
five from the village of Nine Mile, deep in the Jamaican countryside.

When Bob was 21 and Rita was 19 they married. Their relationship endured in
spite of Bob's rise to international stardom and his notorious womanising.

The other two Wailers, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, left the band but Bob
formed a backing vocal group of three female singers, the I-Threes,
including the talented Rita. When an attempt was made on the singer's life
in 1976, Rita was also shot. She steadfastly stood by her man, bringing up
not only the couple's children but those the singer nicknamed Tuff Gong had
with a string of other beautiful women.

Those children have grown up to be important musicians in their own right,
and no less than five of Marley's sons (Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Damian and
Kymani) will perform in their father's honour in Addis Ababa.

In spite of much of what is written about modern Jamaican music and its
fascination with violence and sex, there has been in recent years an
emergence of young singers who have embraced the Marley message of clean
living and brotherly love. Rastafarian artists such as Richie Spice, Natty
King and I-Wayne uphold the Marley tradition and stand tall on the current
Jamaican charts.

On Wednesday, in Brixton, south London, another event will be held in honour
of Marley's 60th birthday. The host and veteran British reggae DJ David
Rodigan says that even today the Marley anthems attract the most frenzied
signals of flaming lighters and waved handkerchiefs from Jamaican music
followers. "His music speaks to all generations but particularly to young
generations because they have so much hope and feel they can change the
world," he says.

Even now, Marley may be the most famous Jamaican in history but he is
recognised only by the island's Order of Merit. The row about his body has
helped to fuel a fierce debate on whether he should be upgraded to a
National Hero, alongside such freedom fighters as Marcus Garvey, Paul Bogle,
Sam Sharpe and Nanny, who helped to build the modern Jamaica. Among
Jamaica's many churchgoers there is some opposition to Marley enjoying such
status, with his famed infidelity and fondness for marijuana.

When Marley died, the island went into prolonged mourning, thronging the
streets as his body was taken back to Nine Mile and placed in a white-washed
mausoleum. That resting place has remained very much off the beaten track,
ignored by most tourists in favour of the beach resorts and the nearby
spectacular Dunn's River Falls. Diehard music lovers make the trip,
navigating the country roads and primitive signs to the superstar's
childhood home. "It's no Graceland," said one American visitor.

Despite Marley's Rastafarian beliefs, he apparently wanted to die in the
land of his birth (passing away in a Miami hospital en route to Jamaica). He
visited Ethiopia only once, in a private capacity in 1978, and found that
the local population did not share his reverence for Selassie, who had just
been overthrown in a Marxist coup.

Rita has apparently become convinced that Bob's final resting place should
be in Shashemene, the small Rastafarian commune in Ethiopia that Selassie
created for his dreadlocked followers after he visited Jamaica in 1966 and
was received with adulation.

Speaking several days after the body row erupted, Gerry Lyseight, of the Bob
Marley Foundation, suggests that the singer's wife would not be swayed.
"Rita said in interviews that this was something that may well happen in the
future because it was one of Bob's wishes when he was alive," he says. "It's
very, very delicate because he's a huge national hero in Jamaica and
Jamaicans would take this as some kind of snub. But as his wife she retains
the last say in this."

Dervan Malcolm, executive producer on the Jamaican radio station Power 106,
says that even moving Marley's grave will not affect his inextricable
relationship with his homeland. "You cannot take Trenchtown out of Jamaica.
You cannot take Nine Mile out of Jamaica. Bob Marley is Jamaica and Jamaica
is Bob Marley. It doesn't matter where you go with the bones," he says. "The
fact of the matter is that Bob Marley is enshrined in the psyche, the
culture, the history and music of the country and there is no taking that
away. Ethiopia would be getting just that: the remains."

A RELUCTANT WELCOME

Ethiopia may be happy to host celebrations for the 60th anniversary of Bob
Marley's birth, but the country has had an uneasy relationship with
Rastafarians.

Emperor Haile Selassie, whom Rastas consider a living god, granted 500 acres
of his own land to Jamaican Rastafarians who wanted to return to Africa. The
first came to Shashamene in 1971 to set up farms, and at one point more than
2,500 lived in Ethiopia, filling the streets of the market town with their
Caribbean food and multicoloured hats. But their easygoing lifestyle and
attachment to marijuana has led to clashes with the Ethiopian Orthodox
Church.

Some moved away during the brutal Mengistu regime which overthrew Selassie
in 1974, but in recent years they have returned. Now there are about 100
Rastafarian families settled among Shashamene's 60,000 Ethiopian residents,
many struggling to make a living in one of the poorest countries on earth.
Ethiopians are especially wary of the Rastafarian belief that marijuana
should be used for meditation and medicinal purposes. Marijuana is illegal
in Ethiopia and every few months the police swoop on Shashamene, burning
gardens of marijuana plants and arresting the dealers.

The government also makes its displeasure known by setting up bureaucratic
hurdles for the small community. "We have problems getting residency and
full work permits in Ethiopia," says a Jamaican community spokesman. "I
think everyone accepts we are entitled to be on this land given to us by
Haile Selassie but they don't want to make us feel welcome."

The Journey to Wild Divine
By Patricia King, Common Ground
Posted on January 31, 2005, Printed on February 1, 2005
http://www.alternet.org/story/21114/

Warning: The Journey to Wild Divine is no shoot-'em up computer game for
twitchy-fingered adrenaline junkies.

To play the game, I clip three purple biofeedback devices onto my
fingertips. The devices will monitor perspiration and beat-to-beat changes
in my heart rate. Using my mouse, I can take a leisurely virtual tour of the
lush gardens and sacred mountain temples of Wild Divine's mystical Sun Realm
while being serenaded by soothing, chirping birds and flute music.

But the mouse is useless for conquering the game's real challenges. To feed
a white rabbit in the Temple of Compassion, to delicately balance one rock
on top of another or to light a fire in a cozy cottage, my biofeedback
sensors first have to conclude that I am relaxed. At the cold fireplace,
nothing happens as I follow the instructions to coordinate my breathing with
the slow opening and closing of a bellows.

I get impatient. I get nowhere. Finally, I give up trying to get anywhere
and just inhale and exhale very slowly. The fire appears. I feel a sense of
accomplishment and, yes, peace, even in the face of looming deadlines.

A Brave New World

Wild Divine and other user-friendly desktop technologies have revolutionized
the once monochromatic world of biofeedback, intersecting with ancient
mind-body techniques in new ways. Such technology can "accelerate the
learning curve" for these ancient techniques, says Adam Crane, author of
Mindfitness Training: Neurofeedback and the Process. When would-be
meditators, despite their best efforts, have not been able to approach the
mental states that are second nature for yogis, biofeedback can help: "You
can take them right to it if the teacher and the equipment are right," says
Crane.

One advantage of technologically aided mind-body exercises is that they
provide quantifiable data. "It's objective," says Deborah Rozman, CEO of
Quantum Intech, a technology licensing and manufacturing company, "you can't
fool yourself." Unlike pharmaceuticals, these cyber-zazen sessions help you
shift rather than mask negative emotions. "You can drug the emotions, but
that's like disarming the fire alarm without putting out the fire," says
Rozman. "You've got to give people tools to harness the power of their
physiology."

Wild Divine's creators, animator Corwin Bell and biomedical engineer Kurt
Smith, promise that "with patience and persistence," mastering the game's
challenges will help you "discover a deeper understanding that can be
applied to your life and your own personal journey." The game, which lists
at $159.95, is only the first in a planned trilogy by the ambitious Colorado
entrepreneurs, who met while rock climbing. The next installment, scheduled
for release next spring, will feature the electronic avatar of author and
teacher Deepak Chopra as a spiritual guide named Rama.

Another computerized biofeedback tool, Quantum Intech's Freeze-Framer, also
uses a finger sensor to monitor heart rate variability. Developed by Santa
Cruz-based Institute of HeartMath, the $295 (list price) Freeze-Framer
features a five-step training exercise to teach players how to shift into a
more relaxed state and three games that help you hone the technique. Those
who prefer their de-stressing exercises devoid of mystic imagery will prefer
these straightforward games to Wild Divine's elaborate Sun Realm. In the
Freeze-Framer games, you can "heart power" a hot air balloon over obstacles
or fill a pot with gold, but only when you shift into a relaxed state.

Freeze-Framer is being used in 200 schools to help students overcome test
anxiety. Carmel High School teacher Diana Govan taught HeartMath's
de-stressing technique before the computerized version was developed. She
prefers the high-tech version because it provides accurate quality control:
"It is so much more powerful to use the software because the students get
immediate feedback." Preliminary results in the schools are so promising
that the federal government has awarded HeartMath $1.7 million in grants to
study the technique's impact on students and teachers.

Science or Witchcraft?

New research also supports the rationale for another form of biofeedback
that monitors brain activity. State-of-the-art brain imaging has found that
the adult brain is "plastic" ? i.e., capable of generating new cells and new
connections among those cells. The new science is no surprise for proponents
of brain biofeedback, which is commonly called neurofeedback. Its
researchers have claimed that altering the brain's electrical patterns
(categorized from slowest to fastest as delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma
waves) can help treat conditions as varied as attention deficit disorder
(ADD), depression, epilepsy, and migraine headaches.

There have been so many anecdotal reports of cures that San Jose
psychologist Colin Wright once put neurofeedback in the same category as
copper bracelets: "I thought it was witchcraft. It meets all of the criteria
for quackery. It claims to work for everything and also claims that it does
no harm." But Wright was won over by his success in using biofeedback to
treat his ADD patients. He has also become convinced that neurofeedback
produces minimal side effects: "The brain is pretty good at protecting
itself. It just isn't going to allow you to blunder into a bad
circumstance."

Jay Gunkelman, longtime neurofeedback entrepreneur and executive vice
president of Burbank-based Q-Metrx, says there is solid research to support
neurofeedback for the treatment of epilepsy and ADD, but there is not enough
quality research to back up its use for most other disorders. "People are
making claims well beyond the research," says Gunkelman, who believes that
patients should be informed when the treatments are experimental.

In a typical neurofeedback session, the patient sits in a comfortable chair
with electronic sensors attached to the scalp. The sensors, which read the
electrical activity of the brain, are hooked up to a computer. The computer
amplifies, analyzes and translates the electrical activity into displays
such as multicolored graphs, video games or sounds. It's the therapist's job
to program the games so that the desired brain waves are rewarded.

Therapists, for example, often determine that their ADD patients exhibit too
many slower brain waves (alpha/theta) in the frontal lobe of the brain and
not enough faster (beta) waves associated with concentration. Their
treatment includes programming the games to reward the production of beta
waves. These patients make progress with the computer game only when they
shift to a mental state conducive to concentration and homework.

While it may look to the observer as if the patient is just sitting in a
chair doing nothing, Cynthia Kerson of Marin Biofeedback explains: "It is a
very tangible experience. You let the computer talk to you. You just need to
be present." And Gunkelman observes that once the brain learns to master the
shift, it doesn't forget: "It's like riding a bicycle. You may wiggle a
little bit when you get back on after not riding for a while, but you still
know how. It is a skill that you have learned, as opposed to something
that's been done to you."

There is, however, no unanimity among practitioners about the best way to
teach the brain these new skills. Says Kentfield-based neurofeedback
practitioner Julian Isaacs: "It's a young field, and there are a whole bunch
of people doing different things and they're all claiming that they're
getting good results."

Isaacs suspects that one explanation for the fact that practitioners with
"wildly different" protocols are reporting good results is found in the
"exercise" theory of neurofeedback. That theory holds that any kind of
neurofeedback improves brain function and thus may alleviate a variety of
symptoms. "Maybe just learning how to control your brain waves is enough,"
says Isaacs. "It doesn't matter what [the] specific protocol is."

Many clinicians believe, however, that to be most effective, it is first
necessary to use electroencephalographs (EEGs) and the more detailed
quantitative electroencephalographs (qEEGs) to figure out which brain waves
are deficient or excessive in different areas of the brain. Dallas-based
naturopath and EEG-researcher Marvin Sams says such readings allow him to
determine where the brain is operating inefficiently. When Sams trains
patients to change their problematic brain waves, he finds that whatever
symptoms they are suffering from abate.

At Mirasol, a residential treatment program in Arizona, psychologist Peter
Smith is pioneering the use of neurofeedback for notoriously
difficult-to-treat eating disorders. Smith has found the targeted use of
EEGs and qEEGs to be essential. Unless you figure out what is going on in an
individual's brain before you start, he says, "it is like trying to put a
Band-Aid on without understanding the nature of the bleeding."

The Perfect Alpha Tan

For his part, James Hardt of the Mountain View-based Biocybernaut Institute,
zeroes in on alpha waves to treat a variety of symptoms. Hardt says that
after a week of learning how to suppress and increase alpha waves, many
participants can create brain wave patterns comparable to those of advanced
Zen meditators. Hardt claims that his clients can boost their creativity,
resolve psychological problems and lower their anxiety so much that, after
treatment, they look as if they have spent a week on a tropical island ? a
phenomenon he has dubbed the "alpha tan."

Participants spend six to eight hours a day for seven days doing
neurofeedback and more hours processing their experiences with a therapist.
This boot camp approach is more effective than two-or-three-day-a-week
neurofeedback, according to Hardt. Hardt uses the analogy of a jet plane,
which will move down the runway when you move it 100 feet a day, but will
never fly.

Hardt's intensive program costs an eye-popping $14,000. Other therapists
charge anywhere from $50 to $100 for 30-to-45-minute sessions. They are
likely to recommend at least 20 sessions and often more. Because most
consumers pay for these neurofeedback sessions out of their own pockets,
proponents say that they should be wary. Dr. Daniel G. Amen, a Fairfield,
Calif., psychiatrist and author of Healing ADD, notes that while
neurofeedback can be effective for ADD, neither drugs nor neurofeedback are
panaceas.

New neurofeedback research that will aid consumers in separating the hype
from reality is underway. But there may be a limit to the public's
willingness to embrace even the most user-friendly new technology.
Biofeedback can be daunting for Americans who like instant results. "You
need persistence," says Wright. "It's boring, and it's hard work."

Wild Divine fans think the game has gone a long way toward alleviating
biofeedback boredom and making it easier to incorporate cyber-assisted
meditation into their daily lives. Ace gamer and writer Robin D. Owens, for
example, bookmarks her favorite Wild Divine spots. When her writing isn't
going well or she just needs to relax, Owens revisits the fireplace for some
deep breathing practices or patiently feeds the white rabbit. These game
sites are not only pleasant places to revisit but, with her purple fingertip
biofeedback sensors in place, "you can get immediate feedback, which is what
most Americans prefer."

Michael:  Every time this comes to my attention I get very frustrated.  In
addition to this, if we all had the same health insurance program as
Congress, it would be efficient and cost effective!!!! Bette

  Subject: Fw: SOC. SEC. IMPORTANT



  :IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!

  200 8 Election Issue!!

  GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC.
  This must be an issue in "200 8 ". Please! Keep it going.

  ----------------------------------
  SOCIAL SECURITY: 
  (This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

  Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

  Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of
course, they do not collect from it.

  You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their
rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for
themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their


  own benefit plan .

  In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it.
After all, it is a great plan.

  For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
  When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.

  Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments..

  This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two
Dignitaries. For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives
may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred
Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last
years of their lives.


  Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more
during the rest of their lives.

  Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH....

  This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick
up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come
directly from the General Funds;

  "OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

  >From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid)
into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our
employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after
retirement. 

  Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly
benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's
benefits! 


  Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

  That change would be to:
  Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and
Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us
  then sit back.....
  and watch how fast they would fix it.

  If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted
and maybe good changes will evolve! .

  How many people can YOU send this to? Better yet.....
  How many people WILL you send this to??










  Keep this going clear up thru the 2008 election!! We need to be heard

Well, here we are again with this issue and it makes me sick that so many

spend a lot of time on something that is not true.  Please click here and
READ thoroughly. http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/pensions.asp

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change
things 
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in
1986.   

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. 

Their lifetime has always included AIDS. 

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic. 

The CD was introduced the year they were born. 

They have always had an answering machine. 

They have always had cable. 

They cannot fathom not having a remote control. 

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight 
Show. 

Popcorn has always been cooked in the 
microwave. 

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. 

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are. 

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. 

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd ! walk a mile for a Camel", or
"de plane, Boss, de plane". 

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is. 

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam 
containers. 


They don't have a clue how to use a 
typewriter. 

Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.
Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading.

THE NEW YORK TIMES
February 6, 2005
FRANK RICH 
The Year of Living Indecently

LET us be grateful that Janet Jackson did not bare both breasts. 
On the first anniversary of the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction that shook 
the world, it's clear that just one was big enough to wreak havoc. The ensuing 
Washington indecency crusade has unleashed a wave of self-censorship on 
American television unrivaled since the McCarthy era, with everyone from the dying 
D-Day heroes in "Saving Private Ryan" to cuddly animated animals on daytime 
television getting the ax. Even NBC's presentation of the Olympics last summer, in 
which actors donned body suits to simulate "nude" ancient Greek statues, is 
currently under federal investigation. 
Public television is now so fearful of crossing its government patrons that 
it is flirting with self-immolation. Having disowned lesbians in the children's 
show "Postcards From Buster" and stripped suspect language from "Prime 
Suspect" on "Masterpiece Theater," PBS is editing its Feb. 23 broadcast of "Dirty 
War," the HBO-BBC film about a terrorist attack, to remove a glimpse of female 
nudity in a scene depicting nuclear detoxification. Next thing you know they'll 
be snipping lascivious flesh out of a documentary about Auschwitz.
This repressive cultural environment was officially ratified on Nov. 2, when 
Ms. Jackson's breast pulled off its greatest coup of all: the re-election of 
President Bush. Or so it was decreed by the media horde that retroactively 
declared "moral values" the campaign's decisive issue and the Super Bowl the blue 
states' Waterloo. The political bosses of "family" organizations, well aware 
that TV's collective wisdom becomes reality whether true or not, have been 
emboldened ever since. They are spending their political capital like drunken 
sailors, redoubling their demands that the Bush administration marginalize gay 
people, stamp out sex education and turn pop culture into a continuous loop of 
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." 
With Sunday's Super Bowl, their crusade has scored a touchdown. MTV has been 
replaced as halftime producer by Don Mischer, the go-to guy for a guaranteed 
snoozefest; his credits include the Tony Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors and 
the 2004 Democratic National Convention at which the balloons failed to drop. 
(His subsequent cursing was heard on CNN, but escaped government sanction 
because no Republicans were watching.) Fox Sports Net has changed the title of its 
signature program "Best Damn Sports Show Period" to "Best Darn Super Bowl 
Road Show Period." The commercials, too, will "be careful" and in "good taste," 
according to the head of marketing for Anheuser-Busch. Fox, which recently 
pixilated the bottom of a cartoon toddler in a rerun of the series "Family Guy," 
now has someone on full-time rear-end alert: it rejected a comic spot for 
Airborne, a cold remedy, showing the backside of the 84-year-old Mickey Rooney as 
he leaves a sauna. 
This might all be laughable were the government not expanding its role as 
cultural cop. But it is. The departures of Michael Powell, the Savonarola of the 
Federal Communications Commission, and John Ashcroft, whose parallel 
right-breast fixation was stimulated by a statue in the Justice Department, are red 
herrings. "Thank God he's gone, but God help us with what's next," said Howard 
Stern upon learning of Mr. Powell's imminent exit. He's right. After all, L. 
Brent Bozell of the Parents Television Council condemned Mr. Powell for "four 
years of failed leadership" in fighting indecency. (Mr. Powell's commission had 
the temerity to actually reject some Parents Television Council jeremiads, 
which are distinguished by their inordinate obsession with the penis.) Mr. Bozell, 
whose organization has been second to none in increasing the number of annual 
indecency complaints from 111 in 2000 to a million-plus last year, is angling 
for a tougher successor and may well get one. 
His wish has in effect been granted even before Mr. Powell's chair is filled. 
The second Bush term began with the installation of a powerful new government 
censor in another big job, Secretary of Education. Margaret Spellings hadn't 
even been officially sworn into the cabinet when she took on "Postcards From 
Buster," threatening PBS with decreased financing because one episode had the 
show's eponymous animated rabbit hobnobbing with actual lesbian moms while 
visiting Vermont to learn how maple syrup is made. Though Buster had in previous 
installments visited Muslims, Mormons, Orthodox Jews and Pentecostal 
Christians, gay couples (even when not identified as such on camera) are verboten to our 
new Secretary of Education. "Many parents would not want their young children 
exposed to the lifestyles portrayed in this episode," Ms. Spellings wrote in 
her threatening letter to Pat Mitchell, the C.E.O. of PBS.
The letter, as it happened, was unnecessary: Public broadcasting says that it 
had decreed on its own only a few hours earlier that it would not distribute 
the offending show - the most alarming example yet of just how cowardly it has 
become and how chilling the Janet Jackson effect has been. (Since then, some 
two dozen member stations out of a total of 349 have rebeled and decided to 
broadcast the episode anyway.) But the story won't end with this one incident. 
Ms. Spellings' threats against PBS are only the latest chapter in a continuing 
saga at an education department that increasingly resembles an authoritarian 
government's ministry of information. 
A month before the election, The Los Angeles Times reported on its front page 
that the department had quietly destroyed more than 300,000 copies of "a 
booklet designed for parents to help their children learn history" after Lynne 
Cheney, who has no official government role, complained about its contents. The 
booklet burning occurred under the watch of Rod Paige, the education secretary 
who, we would later learn, was simultaneously complicit in another sub rosa 
exercise in heavy-handed government information management: the payment of 
$240,000 in taxpayers' funds to Armstrong Williams, a talking head and columnist, 
to plug Bush administration policies on radio and TV. 
Mr. Paige fled his post last month without adequately explaining what he knew 
about these scandals. Enter Ms. Spellings, previously a White House aide who 
by some accounts had been a shadow administrator of the education department 
during Mr. Paige's out-to-lunch tenure. With all the other troubles in public 
education, why would she focus on a single episode of a single children's 
program on her second day in the job? We don't yet know. But her act was nothing if 
not ideologically synergistic with still another freshly uncovered Bush 
propaganda effort. Just as Ms. Spellings busted Buster, two more syndicated 
columnists copped to receiving taxpayers' dollars, this time siphoned through the 
Department of Health and Human Services, to help craft propaganda for a Bush 
"healthy marriage initiative" that disdains same-sex couples as fervently as Ms. 
Spellings did in her letter to PBS.
What makes this story more insidious still is the glaring reality that the 
most prominent Republican lesbians in America are Mary Cheney, a former gay and 
lesbian marketing liaison for Coors beer, and her partner, Heather Poe, who 
appeared as a couple in public and on TV during the presidential campaign. That 
Ms. Spellings would gratuitously go after this specific "lifestyle" right 
after taking office is so provocative it smells like payback specifically pitched 
at those "pro-family" watchdogs who snarled at the mention of Ms. Cheney's 
sexual orientation during the campaign whether it was by John Kerry or anyone 
else. Surely Ms. Spellings doesn't believe in discrimination against 
nontraditional families: by her own account, she was a single mother who had to park her 
13-year-old and 8-year-old children in Austin when she first went to work at 
the White House. Then again, President Bush went on record last month as saying 
that "studies have shown that the ideal is where a child is being raised by a 
man and a woman" (even though, as The New York Times reported, "there is no sci
entific evidence that children raised by gay couples do any worse").
That our government is now both intimidating PBS and awarding public money to 
pundits to enforce "moral values" agendas demonizing certain families is the 
ugliest fallout of the campaign against indecency. That campaign cannot really 
banish salaciousness from pop culture, a rank impossibility in a market 
economy where red and blue customers are united in their infatuation with 
"Desperate Housewives." But it can create public policy that discriminates against 
anyone on the hit list of moral values zealots. Inane as it may seem that Ms. 
Spellings is conducting a witch hunt against Buster or that James Dobson has taken 
aim at SpongeBob SquarePants, there's a method to their seeming idiocy: the 
cartoon surrogates are deliberately chosen to camouflage the harshness of their 
assault on nonanimated, flesh-and-blood people.
This, too, has its antecedent in the McCarthy era. In his novel "The Amazing 
Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," Michael Chabon was extrapolating from actual 
history when one of his heroes, a gay comic book artist, is hauled before 
Congress to testify about pairing up "strapping young fellows in tight trousers" 
as superheroes. A Senate committee of the time did investigate the comics. Its 
guiding force was the psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's fear-mongering 1954 tome 
"Seduction of the Innocent," which posited that Batman and Robin could 
corrupt children by inducing a "wish dream of two homosexuals living together." The 
decency cops of that day, exemplified by closeted gay right-wingers like J. 
Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn, escalated a culture war into one with human costs by 
conflating homosexuality with the criminality of treason. 
One big difference between that America and ours is that the culture 
industry, public broadcasting not included, has gained much more power since then. 
Should Sunday's Super Bowl falter in the ratings, its creators will lure that 
missing audience back next year with wardrobe malfunctions that haven't even been 
invented yet. 
But gay parents whose "lifestyle" is vilified by a cabinet officer don't have 
that power. They're vulnerable even in a state like Vermont that respects 
their civil rights. "I feel sick about it," Karen Pike of Hinesburg, Vt., told 
The Burlington Free Press, after learning that PBS had orphaned the "Buster" 
episode showing her, her partner and their three children. "I understand they get 
public funding, but they should be the one station we feel confident in, in 
knowing that what we see there represents our country." 
No one had told her that some stories are no longer welcome. You have to 
wonder if anyone has told Mary Cheney: Focus on the Family could not have been 
pleased to read last week's New York Post report that she has hired Bill 
Clinton's high-powered literary dealmaker to peddle her own story as a book.

Jamaicans Get Together, Don't Feel All Right About Bob Marley

Fury erupts just before what would have been the late reggae star's 60th birthday, when it is suggested that he be reburied in Ethiopia.

February 6 2005

NINE MILE, Jamaica &#8212; Mingling with the pungent wafts of ganja smoke and the bobbing pulse of Jamaica's surrogate national anthem, "One Love," a jarring note of discord is messing with the mellow vibe of this remote village.

COMMENTARY
Democracy Is No Polite Tea Party
A legal shield against offense? Salman Rushdie finds the notion offensive.
By Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie is a novelist and essayist whose works include "Midnight's
Children," which won the Booker Prize, and "The Satanic Verses."

February 7, 2005

I recently returned from a trip to Britain, where I discovered, to my
consternation, that the government is proposing a law to ban what it is
calling "incitement to religious hatred." This measure, much beloved by
liberals, is apparently designed to protect people "targeted" because of
their religious beliefs.

But I see nothing to applaud. To me it is merely further evidence that in
Britain, just as in the United States, we may need to fight the battle for
the Enlightenment all over again.

That battle, you may remember, was about the church's desire to place limits
on thought. Diderot's novel "La Religieuse," with its portrayal of nuns and
their behavior, was deliberately blasphemous: It challenged religious
authority, with its indexes and inquisitions, on what was possible to say.
Most of our contemporary ideas about freedom of speech and imagination come
from the Enlightenment.

But although we may have thought the battle long since won, if we aren't
careful, it is about to be "un-won."

Offense and insult are part of everyday life for everyone in Britain (or the
U.S., for that matter). All you have to do is open a daily paper and there's
plenty to offend. Or you can walk into the religion section of a bookshop
and discover you're damned to various kinds of eternal hellfire, which is
certainly insulting, not to say overheated.

The idea that any kind of free society can be constructed in which people
will never be offended or insulted, or in which they have the right to call
on the law to defend them against being offended or insulted, is absurd.

In the end, a fundamental decision needs to be made: Do we want to live in a
free society or not? Democracy is not a tea party where people sit around
making polite conversation. In democracies, people get extremely upset with
each other. They argue vehemently against each other's positions. (But they
don't shoot.)

At Cambridge I was taught a laudable method of argument: You never
personalize, but you have absolutely no respect for people's opinions. You
are never rude to the person, but you can be savagely rude about what the
person thinks. That seems to me a crucial distinction: People must be
protected from discrimination by virtue of their race, but you cannot
ring-fence their ideas. The moment you say that any idea system is sacred,
whether it's a belief system or a secular ideology, the moment you declare a
set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision or contempt,
freedom of thought becomes impossible.

With its proposed "incitement to religious hatred" law, Prime Minister Tony
Blair's government has set out to create that impossibility. Privately
they'll tell you the law is designed to please "the Muslims." But which
Muslims, when and on what day?

The ability of this proposed law to protect "the Muslims" seems to me
arguable. It is possible that instead it will be used against Muslims before
it's used against anyone else. There are identifiable racist and right-wing
groups in Britain that would argue that Muslims are the ones inciting
religious hatred, and these groups would use, or try to use, this law
against them.

There is no question that there also are Muslim leaders who are anxious to
prosecute others (for example, me and my book, "The Satanic Verses") and
will try to do so if this law is passed. So this law would unleash some
major expressions of intolerance.

Rioting Sikhs already have forced the closure of Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's
play, "Behzti," in Birmingham, and the government has said nothing to
criticize them for attacking the theater, breaking windows and issuing death
threats. Hanif Kureishi made one of the best comments about all this when he
noted that the theater was a temple too ? just as much as the fictional
temple in the play. Evangelical Christians caught on quickly and protested
against the BBC's screening of "Jerry Springer: The Opera."

What this kind of attitude ultimately does, and what the law would do, is
undermine a principle of free expression that affects everyone in Britain,
religious or not. If we cannot have open discourse about the ideas by which
we live, then we are straitjacketing ourselves.

It does matter that people have the right to take an argument to the point
where somebody is offended by what they say. It's no trick to support the
free speech of somebody you agree with or to whose opinion you are
indifferent. The defense of free speech begins at the point when people say
something you can't stand. If you can't defend their right to say it, then
you don't believe in free speech. You believe in free speech only as long as
it doesn't get up your nose. But free speech does get up people's noses.
Nietzsche called Christianity "the one great curse" and "the one immortal
blemish on mankind." Would Nietzsche now be prosecuted?

There is a long tradition of irreverent, raw and critical remarks about
religion in Britain, some by very eminent thinkers, some by our favorite
comedians ? like Rowan Atkinson in "Blackadder" muttering "bad weather is
God's way of telling us we should burn more Catholics." Even if the
government doesn't think that such remarks will find their way into court
prosecutions, the very possibility that they might, at the discretion of its
chief legal advisor, will be enough to bring down the curtains of self- and
corporate censorship.

Subject: [Mb-hair] OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR Freedom's Not Just Another Word By DAVID
	HACKETT FISCHER 
Message-ID: <BE2CFF73.1D5FA%michael@michaelbutler.com>

 The New York Times
February 7, 2005
OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
Freedom's Not Just Another Word
By DAVID HACKETT FISCHER

Wayland, Mass. ? IN Baghdad's Fardus Square, where Iraqi civilians and
American marines so famously pulled down the statue of Saddam Hussein in the
spring of 2003, Iraqi artists have raised a new sculpture on the same
pedestal. It is a monument to liberty and freedom, and unlike any other in
the world.

In Europe and America, the favorite symbols of liberty and freedom are
individual figures like Marianne or the Statue of Liberty. This Iraqi statue
is a family group: mother, father and child so close together that they
become one being. Above them are a crescent moon and sun, emblems of Islamic
faith and Sumerian culture. One of its creators remarked that both
civilizations "have called for love, peace and freedom."

The Baghdad monument was the work of a group of Iraqi artists called Najeen,
or the Survivors. After the Persian Gulf war in 1991, they worked
underground to keep alive the spirit of liberty and freedom. Their monument
has a message about that. "Freedom is not a gift from people with tanks,"
Basim Hassad, a Najeen member, told a BBC reporter. "What we see in our
country could be the first signs of freedom. ...What remains is a history
that we will make together with the Najeen group at its heart."

Foreigners who opposed the Iraqi war were not impressed. "On top of the
marble column where Saddam's statue stood, someone put up the most hideous
monstrosity I've ever seen," one wrote contemptuously. "A green statue
...with a face that's not recognizable as anything human. It's supposed to
be some kind of 'goddess of liberty,' but it looks like nothing in any of
the worlds."

The writer missed the meaning of the monument, which in fact has much to
teach us about liberty and freedom. These ideas are growing and changing
rapidly today, and their long history is more dynamic and diverse than our
thoughts about it. There is no one true definition of liberty and freedom in
the world, though many people to the left and right believe that they have
found it. And, yet, there is one great historical process in which liberty
and freedom have developed, often in unexpected ways.

The words themselves have a surprising history. The oldest known word with
such a meaning comes to us from ancient Iraq. The Sumerian "ama-ar-gi,"
found on tablets in the ruins of the city-state of Lagash, which flourished
four millenniums ago, derived from the verb "ama-gi," which literally meant
"going home to mother." It described the condition of emancipated servants
who returned to their own free families - an interesting link to the
monument in Baghdad. (In contemporary America, the ancient characters for
"ama-ar-gi" have become the logos of some libertarian organizations, as well
as tattoos among members of politically conservative motorcycle gangs, who
may not know that the inscriptions on their biceps mean heading home to
mom.)

Equally surprising are the origins of our English words liberty and,
especially, freedom. They have very different roots. The Latin libertas and
Greek eleutheria both indicated a condition of independence, unlike a slave.
(In science, eleutherodactylic means separate fingers or toes.) Freedom,
however, comes from the same root as friend, an Indo-European word that
meant "dear" or "beloved." It meant a connection to other free people by
bonds of kinship or affection, also unlike a slave. Liberty and freedom both
meant "unlike a slave." But liberty meant privileges of independence;
freedom referred to rights of belonging.

We English-speakers are possibly unique in having both "liberty" and
"freedom" in our ordinary speech. The two words have blurred together in
modern usage, but the old tension between them persists like a coiled spring
in our culture. It has inspired an astonishing fertility of thought.
Americans have invented many ideas of liberty and freedom. Some are close to
independence, others to rights of belonging. Most are highly creative
combinations. For most people they are not academic abstractions or
political ideologies, but inherited ideas that we hold as what Tocqueville
called "habits of the heart." They tend to be entire visions of a free
society, and we see them in our mind's eye through symbols and emblems, much
as Najeen envisions symbols in Iraq.

I have counted more than 500 such literal symbols of liberty and freedom in
America alone. In the American Revolution they included New England's
Liberty Tree with its collective sense of town-born rights, Philadelphia's
great Quaker Bell ringing for all humanity, Virginia's hierarchical Liberty
Goddess, South Carolina's Liberty Crescent, and the rattlesnake of
individual independence, with its motto, "Don't Tread on Me." Other emblems
were invented by German immigrants, African slaves, trans-Atlantic artisans
and Loyalist elites. All were different combinations of liberty and freedom.

The Civil War, of course, was a conflict between visions of liberty,
freedom, union and rights of belonging on one side; and ideas of states'
rights, separation and liberty to keep a slave on the other. Many competing
images of liberty and freedom appeared in the Progressive Era, and again in
the 1930's when President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "broader definition of
liberty" and "greater freedom, greater security" were fiercely opposed by
the conservative Liberty League. It happened again in the 1950's and 60's,
with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of freedom as rights of
belonging, and Barry Goldwater's impassioned idea of liberty as independence
from intrusive government. But perhaps the most fertile period of invention
was the late 20th century. Through 16 generations, American ideas of liberty
and freedom have grown larger, deeper, more diverse and yet more inclusive
in these collisions of contested visions.

One can observe this growth not only in America as a whole, but also in the
thought of individual Americans. An example, of course, is George W. Bush.
His speeches before 2001 centered on a particular idea of personal liberty,
private property, individual responsibility and minimal government. By his
second inaugural last month, that vision had grown larger. It preserved the
idea of individual liberty, but also quoted Franklin Roosevelt's "broader
definition of liberty" and "greater freedom from want and fear." It embraced
Dr. King's "freedom now," and adopted the universal Quaker vision of
"liberty throughout all the land," even enlarging it to "liberty throughout
all the world."

How these words will be defined by acts in Mr. Bush's second term remains to
be seen. His first administration was very careless of civil liberties for
others, and little interested in civil rights; he spoke often of the rights
of the unborn but enacted fiscal policies that betrayed the rights of
generations to come. One hopes that the larger spirit of the second
inaugural address will appear in political acts to come.

I found it most striking that Mr. Bush also explicitly recognized that
liberty and freedom take different forms throughout the world, where "others
find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way." His
phrasing would seem to recognize that this is a global process that is
broader than the American experience of liberty and freedom, and yet
preserves the same dynamics.

In India, for example, leaders of the Congress Party have combined Western
ideas with Hindu and Buddhist beliefs to create old-new visions of liberty
and freedom that are unique to that republic. In Beijing, the students who
constructed the Goddess of Tiananmen Square in 1989 created a new symbol
that combined American liberty and freedom, Russian socialism and Chinese
culture, a radical new vision of a free world. The people of Eastern Europe
have invented their own visions from traditions like Poland's collective
memory of its "golden freedom" during the 17th century. The same thing is
happening in Ukraine and the Balkans, Latin America and Africa, Southeast
Asia and the Pacific.

Most of all it is happening in Islam today. We find it in the Baghdad
monument that links liberty and freedom to the faith of Islam and the
history of Mesopotamia. We see it in the ink-stained fingers of millions of
Iraqis, held upright in a new symbol of courage against tyranny, pride in an
ancient past, and hope for the future of a free world.

The catch, of course, is that people become more truly free only when the
central ideas are respected: liberty as the rights of individual
independence, freedom in the rights of collective belonging. Many on the
right and left continue to call for one idea without the other, but the
strongest ground is in the center, where they come together.

People across the globe will continue to create new combinations of liberty
and freedom, with an inexhaustible fertility of invention. These visions are
profoundly different from one another, but they are all part of one great
historical process that is more open and free than any one idea of liberty
or freedom has ever been, or even wished to be.

"Liberty and Freedom: A Visual History of America's Founding Ideas."

>T-shaped object in the middle of Bush's back and a wire running up and over

>   After first offering it unsuccessfully to his local paper, the Pasadena
>Star-News, and then, with equal lack of success, to the Post-Gazette in
>Pittsburgh, where he had gone to college, he offered it to the Los Angeles 
>Times. (In
>all his media contacts, Nelson says, he offered the use of his enhanced

>free of charge.) "About three weeks before the election, I gave the photos

>Nelson. "After four days, in which they never got back to me, I went to the 
>New
>York Times."
>   Contradictory Explanations
>   The Times was at first very interested, Nelson reports. There was, after
>all, clearly good reason to investigate the issue. The White House and 
>Bush/
>Cheney campaign had initially mocked the bulge story when it had run in 
>Salon,
>first attributing it to "doctored" photos circulating on the Internet (New 
>York
>Times, 10/9/04), and later claiming that the bulge, so noticeable in video
>images, was the result of a "badly tailored suit" (New York Times, 
>10/18/04).
>Bush himself contradicted this White House and campaign line when he told 
>ABC's
>Charles Gibson (Good Morning America, 10/26/04) that the bulge was the

>obviously false. (A November 4, 2004 report in the Washington paper The 
>Hill, citing

>had been
>specifically denied by the White House and by Bush himself - New York

>25. "It got pushed back because of the explosives story," he says, first to

EDITORIAL
The Mayor and Gay Marriage

The last thing Mayor Michael Bloomberg needs, with a re-election battle
looming, is a big controversy over gay marriage. But that is what a state
court judge handed him last week by ruling that gay marriage is legal in New
York City and pointing out the serious injustice of denying gay men and
women the right to marry. The mayor announced his intention to appeal, while
at the same time expressing his personal support for gay marriage. His
stance has brought considerable criticism from gay New Yorkers, from
political opponents and from people who simply say Mr. Bloomberg is trying
to have it both ways. Nevertheless, he made the right decision.

New York does not have a residency requirement for marriage, so if last
week's ruling had not been quickly appealed, gay couples from all over the
nation would have flocked to the city. But there is a genuine question about
what the law in New York State currently is. Although one city judge has now
ruled in favor of gay marriage, courts upstate have ruled the other way.
Rather than creating more legal confusion, Mr. Bloomberg wisely chose to
hold off granting licenses while pushing for an expedited hearing from the
state's highest court.

Gay couples should be free to marry, but marriage is an important enough
institution that all of society has an interest in defining it carefully.
One lower court judge - or one small-town mayor, as in the case of New
Paltz, N.Y., last year - cannot single-handedly rewrite a state's marriage
law. And gay couples should not be lured someplace to have weddings that
could turn out to have no legal standing.

Mr. Bloomberg could not, of course, have missed the political dangers on
both sides of the issue. By backing the local judge's ruling, he risked
alienating conservatives whose votes he may need next year, particularly if
he faces a primary challenge. If he appealed the ruling too
enthusiastically, he would offend gays and their supporters, whose votes
could prove pivotal in the general election.

It is easy to dismiss as insignificant the mayor's announcement that he
supports gay marriage - coming in tandem, as it did, with the appeal. But it
could carry weight in the State Legislature, which, ideally, will make the
decision to allow gay marriage, or in the courts. If the Court of Appeals
takes up the issue, a key legal question will be whether the state has a
legitimate reason for denying gay couples the freedom to marry. Having the
mayor of the state's largest city stand up as Mr. Bloomberg did should be
powerful evidence that it does not.

Subject: [Mb-hair] DNC Chair race -- new twist
Message-ID: <200502091758.j19HwgRq000865@dune.islandtechnologies.net>

Dear MoveOn member,

This Saturday the Democratic National Committee will pick a new
Chair for the Party. A couple of weeks ago, it seemed to everyone
this would be a fiercely competitive election, with 7 strong
national candidates vying for the job. However, after the dust
settled and committed supporters were tallied, the field of major
candidates has shrunk down to just one -- Howard Dean. It is now
virtually guaranteed that Governor Dean will be selected this
weekend as the new Chair of the Democratic Party.

Our goal in all of this was to open up the Chair selection process
to millions of grassroots progressives. The final decision is made
by the 447 voting members of the Democratic National Committee,
who rarely get feedback from the ordinary Democrats they are
supposed to represent. Also, the candidates seeking to run the
Party are forced to cater their message to the party insiders and
big donors that can dominate a closed process. We thought it was
time they committed to an agenda that could earn them support from
the bottom up.

Two weeks ago, we asked you to propose the questions you most
wanted to ask the candidates. Thousands of MoveOn members posted
and ranked the questions from other members -- and the top five
were passed on. Front running candidates Congressman Tim Roemer,
activist Donnie Fowler, and Governor Howard Dean all took the time
to respond in detail to the points you raised, and were excited to
hear directly from the base.

The original plan called for a vote this Monday on your
recommendation for DNC Chair. Now that Dean is the presumptive
winner, we will be shifting tactics to accomplish the same goal --
bringing the grassroots in to reshape the Party at this moment of
opportunity. Major decisions will be made in the next few weeks
about how the Democratic Party communicates, organizes, and raises
money. Our opposition to extremist Republican policies and our
long term movement for change may hang in the balance -- we want
you to lead the way.

Within a week we'll announce the next phase of this process. In
the meantime, Governor Dean wanted you to see his answers to your
questions, so they are posted below.

Thanks for all that you do,

--Ben Brandzel, Eli Pariser, and the whole MoveOn PAC Team

------------------------------
Top 5 questions from MoveOn members
and Howard Dean's responses
------------------------------

1) What will you do to insure that all voters, in each state, have
access to a universally transparent, accountable voting system?
-- Sylvia S Pinyan, retired teacher
  (January 27, 2005; Winston Salem, NC)

If elected Chair of the DNC, I intend to work with Members of
Congress, the state Democratic parties, secretaries of state, the
Democratic Governors' Association, other stakeholders, and the
grassroots to ensure that every legitimate voter -- regardless of
their political affiliation -- is able to vote and have their vote
counted. We must address the obstacles that some voters in some
locations faced this past November, like inadequate numbers of
voting machines at certain polling locations, faulty electronic
voting machines, and voting rolls that failed to include some
properly registered voters' names. And critically, we must take
steps to ensure the verifiability of all electronic voting. For
instance, we need to use the referendum process (in states that
allow this) to ban unverifiable voting machines and to protect
voters from partisan secretaries of state.

2) What would be your list of 'ideals,' things the Democratic
Party stands for and will fight for?
-- Tom Peters, commercial fisherman
  (January 26, 2005; Eureka, CA)

Whether you call them ideals or moral values, there are a number
of basic principles that I believe the Democratic Party should
stand up and fight for. Here are a few: a livable wage is a moral
value. Affordable health care is a moral value. A decent education
is a moral value. A common sense foreign policy is a moral value.
A healthy environment is a moral value. The feeling of community
that comes from full participation in our democracy is a moral
value. It is a moral value to make sure that we do not saddle our
children and grandchildren with our debt.

3) What will be your strategy for sending the message that a
progressive agenda is as much about "moral values" as is the
Republican agenda, ie: that economic justice and equality,
tolerance, civil rights and environmental protection are ethical
and moral matters?
-- Anna Schwartz, physician
  (January 26, 2005; Hastings-on-Hudson, NY)

I believe that there are no red states or blue states, just
American states. And I am confident that Americans will vote for
Democrats in Texas, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Montana and all
over the Untied States if we show up, knock on their doors,
introduce ourselves, and tell them what we stand for. But we will
not win by being "Republican-lite" -- Democrats must have the
courage of our convictions. Every chance we get, Democrats need to
stand up for what we believe in, frame the debate, and call for
reform. Each time that we do this we drive home the point that our
progressive agenda is right where the majority of Americans are.
Because Democrats -- not Republicans -- are the party of fiscal
responsibility, economic responsibility, social responsibility,
civic responsibility, personal responsibility, and moral
responsibility.

4) What is your plan for creating an effective Democratic message
machine to clearly and powerfully present our point of view?
-- Lynn O'Connell, advertising
  (January 26, 2005; Alexandria, VA)

I am running for DNC Chair because I want to reform the Democratic
Party and make it a truly national party. Improving the Democrat's
message machine will be critical to our success. To drive home the
point that we are where the majority of Americans are on the
issues, we have to better integrate national and state party
operations -- the success of the former depends directly on the
success of the latter. Two, taking a bottom-up approach to the
development of the Party's message, we need to set core principles
that define the Democratic Party and what we stand for. Three, the
Party must take advantage of cutting-edge Internet technology to
fundraise, organize, and communicate with our supporters. And
four, we must strengthen our political institutions and leadership
institutes to promote our leaders and our ideas. All of this won't
be easy and it won't happen overnight. It will require exceptional
cooperation between the National Party and the State Parties,
unprecedented use of the grassroots, unparalleled message
discipline, and significant financial support. But taking the
White House and Congress and every other office back from George
Bush and the Republicans will make all of our time and effort
worth it.

5) Many people like myself were energized during the 2004
presidential election. I volunteered to canvas neighborhoods and I
made phone calls for democratic candidates. I made my first
financial contributions for a political cause. How are you going
to keep people like me involved? Do you want to keep people like
me involved?
-- Lisa Scerbo, photographer
  (January 26, 2005; Mechanicville, NY)

It was new supporters like you that were one of the bright spots
in the last election cycle. If I am elected DNC Chair, we intend
to make the Democratic Party a truly national party by becoming
competitive in every race, in every district, in every state and
territory. We need you and other grassroots volunteers to stay
involved -- our vision won't become a reality without your help.
And we will keep you involved by building on our grassroots
successes, expanding community-building initiatives like Meetup,
and getting ordinary people to run for office. It is time we
support all Democrats carrying the message of reform.

Subject: [Mb-hair] Long time,
	no write...plus -- THE RETURN OF THE HAIR MUSEUM (minus
	the stuff that made others antsy)
Message-ID: <20050213154544.49870.qmail@web41313.mail.yahoo.com>

A lot's happened since I last wrote here. I'm glad I still see some old friends are on the list.
And of course, some new people I don't know who apparently have directed HAIR revivals before.

I'm still intrigued by the idea of a HAIR Museum...it could work, like the thing at Ellis Island
where all the immigrants were processed and they have a 'living history' thing. Anybody remember
the snit I caused over that? Well, it could still be a workable idea, just without publishing
anything (as I so unwelcomely and stupidly suggested). What follows is a reworked proposal that's
not (really) stolen from anybody...not that it has to be followed through, not telling anyone what
to do (hey, more power to you guys anyway, right? --- you were there long before I was).

-- PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL --

Jim has a collection, the Archives are obviously where they are, somebody has all of Earl Scott's
stuff, the Lincoln Center Performing Arts library has some stuff, Tribe members have stuff they
can contribute, why don't we at least collect and give something a try? Hand it over to Jim, Galt,
Michael, John Cox (representing Ragni), and Tom (O'Horgan) to coordinate for the public. I should
think they'd be able to at least make decisions, but if they don't have time, that's okay; a
well-coordinated board of Tribe members could help.

All the scripts, the vocal scores Glenn Lucas turned up, etc., could be in the Writing Room, free
for people to look over and page through under the watchful eyes of a "Script Guardian" (Jim could
do this easily...LOL...just kidding). One thing that would soon at least be on display there (if I
ran things) would be the annotation of HAIR's script (with the line explanations/derivations,
relevant essays, and production support) that Nina and our Archival Tribe friends have been
working on, so people can see what HAIR really was and how to do it in different, interesting
ways.

The video and audio collections could be combined into an audio-visual section. In that case, with
the permission of UA, we'd have to include the 'film' in that section (it's just as much a part of
HAIR history as anything else). Photos would be included as part of the exhibits, too; Dagmar
could do quite a few good exhibits on this stuff. Maybe a guest lecturer post isn't too far off in
my proposal, I'm still developing this, but with the right people, it could really, really work.

There'd be a Master Cast List-specific room, with the huge list on the wall and the (hopefully by
then assembled) chronologies for lead roles in the major companies on bookshelves. At this point,
we'd also make the room very cast-specific by including the HAIR alumni contact list; hell, we
could work in a HAIR Alumni Association 'dinner hall' of sorts (Berger dances on the table twice a
night bi-quarterly at the HAIR Alumni Dinner...LOL), once Nina sorts that out.

Exhibits...those are important to talk about for a museum proposal. I'd say we could parlay the
Voices of the Tribe project into a long-running, very good exhibit, possibly as part of the
audio-visual section, since audio and visual are what it would mostly consist of, by all accounts.

Then, there's the question of money. Not all of us like to face it, but there it is. Besides
admission, what money could be made? I'm glad you asked (even if you didn't, just keep
reading)...a book/music/film store, centered on HAIR and the Sixties. It could sell Jonathon's
book, Lorrie's book, Ms. Horn's book (these two specially printed for the museum -- OOP is so
annoying), Scott Miller's book, maybe the vocal selections for HAIR, the cast recordings, the
film, all sorts of Sixties stuff, all available for purchase. Also, Dagmar once mentioned on her
website that she was assembling a portfolio of vintage HAIR photos; if she included all of them,
mass-produced portfolios of the photos could also be sold in the store. The store might also be a
part-cafe, with a place to stop for a bite. I know some of us can get ravenously hungry at times.

Just put it all in one place (preferably The House Where HAIR Was Built, on the floor where HAIR
was built, in the rooms where...you get the idea -- sure, it might take over the whole building,
but it would be worth visiting). The only issue would be making it public. An announcement to the
New York Times and a few other reputable newspapers (TIME, LIFE, etc.) could provide some
publicity and a good amount of coverage, not to mention interested visitors (think -- the Richard
Frankel tour starts this fall, it could all be prepared by then and be released to catch interest
at its highest, plus possibly sell tour merchandise, not to cash in, but to catch interest).

And it's not just HAIR; we've seen that the Archives has stuff to cover DUDE and RAINBOW (and when
Jim gets his new RAINBOW production, now known as BILLY EARTH, going, we can include stuff from
that, too). SUN is also a distinct possibility, and if anybody remembers what YMCA (Cox knows what
it is) and JACK SOUND AND HIS DOG STAR BLOWING HIS FINAL TRUMPET ON THE DAY OF DOOM were, we can
just as easily include those. All gathered in one place, showing the after-effects of the Sixties.

-- PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL PROPOSAL --

There, the proposal ends. If anyone likes the idea, they should start the action, start
collecting, make the donations, and get this show on the road! HAIR is as relevant today as it
was...now it's about...38 years ago. We need to prove this to people and provide a history to the
waiting public who will clamor to see the Richard Frankel tour and want to learn more about the show.

I loved Rainbow, and saw it many times. It wasn't quite Hair, but then 
nothing else is. I loved the music. :-)  I was also one of the original 
investors in Y.M.C.A. I should search out that contract in my old files and 
stick it in the Archives. All the children and grandchildren of Hair...

I think because the plot was a little too "off-off-Broadway" and they were 
going for  Broadway or Off-Broadway audience. Most of the reviews were 
positive, but said things like "I had a great time at Rainbow, however I 
don't understand a thing I saw." or similar things. Many of the reviews are 
up online in the Rainbow section of the Archives web site. All the 
performances (most cast members were Hair alumni) were great with several 
real standouts. The songs (42 of 'em!) were musically catchy like a song 
from a truly great Broadway musical. But they were paired with very 
avant-garde lyrics, and song titles like "I'm a Guinea Pig" "People Stink" 
and "You Didn't Love Me Tonight" the latter sung by the First Lady to Jesus, 
so you get the idea. I would LOVE to hear the updated version. Let us know 
what you think when you hear it.

i will if jimmy doesnt change his mind lol
thank you for writing back
wasnt my pal aristedes philip duval in rainbow?
was he billy earth?

oddly aristedes and jimmy are fans of my original musical
STAR CROSSED LOVERS
about how shakespeare writes Romeo and Juliet
with the aid of four ghosts who had written prior versions
( this predates shakespeare in love by over a decade and ran for approx 6
years off broadway )
they must have came to see the show
15 times
STAR CROSSED LOVERS
off the record has an unremarkable score
( although unfortunately ubiquitous by todays standards )
but a great great book like the KING AND I or MY FAIR LADY etc
so theres that
hope you are well sweetie
thank you so much for your detailed response

Nope, I'm a fourteen year old who the group has dealt with several times before. I've corresponded
electronically with Jim Rado, Galt MacDermot (or at least his relatives), Michael Butler, and
several of the original Tribe members in my effort to get HAIR back in the public eye (including
my HAIR Museum proposal, my HAIR film proposal, my HAIR in the Streets proposal, my HAIR reunion
proposals, etc.). Sure, it's rankled a few people, but I have made my presence known well before.

I regret that the planned Liberty Tour with Mr. Butler did not get off the ground (and frankly, I
wanted to see the Weissler-produced tour Jim tried to get going back in 1999 or 2000 or
whereabouts when the Reprise! and Encores! concerts happened, which would have had Lenny Kravitz
-- I still remember the gossip on the jabberwocky list about it), but I must say that Richard
Frankel must have one less screw loose somewhere if he's picked HAIR to tour. And Jim's involved
in the production, which (I've heard) will use all his revisions. That's alright with me, as long
as there's a companion book published containing the new script (not that I would buy one for any
ulterior motive..I'm SERIOUS...why are you all loooking at me?! LOL). A reprint of the paperback
will be anything but a good merchandising ploy and it's best that people see the show in new form.

There ends my long answer. Hopefully, you figured it out, 'cause I sure as hell didn't. Oh, well.

And, by the by, from another message:

I know a lot about GODSPELL, in fact I know you guys are experienced directors, but I'm a GODSPELL
expert and I could help you pull this off like no problem. If you need any suggestions, any at
all, e-mail me, I'll give you my cell number and we'll talk. I have the script (LEGALLY obtained,
I swear!), several cast recordings, the movie, those two Camera Three videos about it called "The
Parables of Godspell" and "The Filming of Godspell," and much, much more GODSPELL memorabilia.

One thing I'll say, though, is that a 2000+ seat venue is not the right venue for a production
like GODSPELL. Sure, this one has Ben Vereen, Shirley Caesar, Rain Pryor, and Melba Moore among
its cast, but no matter how big the star, GODSPELL should be done in an intimate manner, the way
it's always been done. I could go on for hours and hours about this, but then again, it's your
show. You can take my suggestions or not, but I'm still interested in helping out, in some way.

In fact, the composer Stephen Schwartz wrote very specific director's notes to go with the script
(which I only have the introduction of, unfortunately) that help outline how the production should
be done. Try to adhere to those, even if this is being done in a concert setting, and good luck.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for your concern.
Hariri was a man of Power,financially and politically.He was one of the rare
leaders in the region who has no blood on his hands and he strongly believed
in democracy and dialogue.He used his power to reconstruct Lebanon
successfully and went all the way to help the needy in a clever manner by
giving them the means to reconstruct themselves.
His power was spreading beyond the region and he was descreetly active
internationally focusing on the middle east crisis, seeking a democratic
solution.This was too much for the taste of his criminal neighbors.
The strong reaction of the UN,the US and the Europeans to this drama, if
persistant,will help Lebanon positively get freed from his occupiers.
The middle east crisis will have to wait untill the missing link,the man of
power and peace,is found and replaced.That's life.
Best regards
Tony

Today's commentary:

==================================

ZNet Commentary
We Have The Right To Remain Silent But The
Duty To Speak 

February 15, 2005
By Mickey Z 

Submitted for your consideration: "He was prosecuted because of his
words.
He didn't harm anybody; he didn't commit an assault; he didn't steal; he
didn't engage in any conduct, which directly harmed someone else. So,
therefore, he was punished, first and foremost, because of the words he
used."

That's not Colorado's Governor Bill Owens taking about Ward Churchill.
These are the words of a former assistant district attorney who helped
prosecute comedian/social commentator Lenny Bruce. The last line of that
quote reads:"We drove him into poverty and used the law to kill him."

The repressive wrath of state power played a major role in Bruce's
premature death...but Bruce and Churchill are but two of many who have
endured the time-honored American tradition of stifling dissent.

>From the Founding Father's Alien and Sedition Act to today's PATRIOT
>Act...Ice T has it right when he raps: "Freedom of speech? Just watch
>what you say."

Another fine example of gagging opposition was the case of Eugene V.
Debs.
America's entrance into World War I provoked a tightening of civil
liberties, culminating with the passage of the Espionage and Sedition Act
in June 1917. This totalitarian salvo read in part: "Whoever, when the
United States is at war, shall willfully cause or attempt to cause
insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty in the military or
naval forces of the United States, shall be punished by a fine of not more
than $10,000 or imprisonment of not more than 20 years, or both."

One year after the Espionage and Sedition Act was voted into law, Debs
was
in Canton, Ohio for a Socialist Party convention. He was arrested for
making a speech deemed "anti-war" by the Canton district attorney. In that
speech, Debs declared, "They have always taught and trained you to
believe
it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves
slaughtered at their command. But in all the history of the world you, the
people, have never had a voice in declaring war, and strange as it
certainly appears, no war by any nation in any age has ever been declared
by the people."

These words led to a 10-year prison sentence and the stripping of his U.S.
citizenship. (While serving his sentence in the federal penitentiary, Debs
was nominated for the fifth time as the Socialist Party's presidential
candidate, campaigned from his jail cell, and remarkably garnered 917,799
votes.)

Some forty-odd years later in 1965, as Lenny Bruce was just beginning to
wilt from the relentless heat he was facing, William S. Burroughs' novel,
"Naked Lunch" was prosecuted as "obscene" by the state of Massachusetts
(soon followed by other states). First published in 1959 by Maurice
Girodias and Olympia Press, "Naked Lunch" quickly became infamous
across
Europe...even in countries where it was banned.

Among those who served as an expert witness in defense of Burroughs and
his vision was Norman Mailer (Massachusetts Superior Court Judge
Eugene
Hudson famously asked Mailer if any of his own novels involved "sex in
the
nakedsense.") The trial combined such unusual testimony with facts like
the words "fuck, shit, ass, cunt, prick, asshole, and cocksucker"
appearing a combined total of 234 times on 235 pages. Eventually, Hudson
ruled against the book.

A year later, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court declared the work
"not obscene" thus upholding the U.S. Supreme Court's Brennan doctrine"
(the decision that cleared Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" of obscenity
charges and holds that only works "utterly without redeeming value" could
legally be banned). It would prove to be the last time a work of
literature was prosecuted on obscenity charges in the United States.

Today we have Ward Churchill taking a hit for words of a different
kind...words deemed obscene for their political weight. You may agree or
disagree with his thesis and/or his method of articulating that thesis,
but to support the witch hunt is to contribute to the current zeitgeist of
fear and conformity. To those who call Churchill's opinions "treasonous,"
I declare that the genuine treason we Americans can engage is to accept
the silencing of others (most recently Lynne Stewart) and to remain silent
ourselves.

Eugene Debs had reply when the same charge of treason was leveled at
him:
"Do not worry over the charge of treason to your masters, but be
concerned
about the treason that involves yourselves. Be true to yourself and you
cannot be a traitor to any good cause on earth."

William Burroughs had this to say about keeping our opinions to
ourselves:
"Modern man has lost the option of silence."

Lenny Bruce summed up: "Take away the right to say fuck and you take
away
the right to say 'fuck the government'."

>From the new book ~HAVE YOU THOUGHT of LEONARD PELTIER LATELY?~

(This is the only poem in the book, but it's a gem./Harvey)

For Leonard Peltier, for Anna May Aquash and family, for those who did the
deed, for those chosen to bear the cost and for all those yet to come, who
will be innocent next.

A Prayer Wrapped In Blue Smoke
by Keith Rabin
? February 2004 Morrison, Colorado

With a deep wanting I pray for peace;
With a wanting for peace I pray for freedom;
I pray for those lives, on all those blue smoke trails......
Those blue smoke trails, from all those sweetgrass prayers.....
All those sweetgrass prayers, all those tears;
The Rez, the land, the stolen lands and all those tears;
All those tears, all those deaths, and the blue smoke trails on.....
With a wanting for peace I pray;
With a deep wanting for freedom I pray;
I pray for all our lives, all lives within the circle......
I am a keeper of the earth, I keep the tree alive;
Blue smoke wraps my soul, wraps your soul as I pray;
I pray for those who can't pray, I pray for those that won't pray...
With a deep wanting, with a wanting we should all pray......

For Leonard Peltier's strength, and freedom,
For all who will take the time now to pray...
For the truth of Anna Mae
For the children as always....

In Peace....

Editorial: The Need for a Federal Shield


As unpopular and intrusive as the news media can be, surely the Congress elected by the people can protect journalism's vital mission.

Op-Ed Columnist: Bush's Barberini Faun
By MAUREEN DOWD

The Bush administration is waging a jihad against journalists - buying them off so they'll promote administration programs, trying to put them in jail, and replacing them with ringers.

What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to
a group of 4- to
8-year-olds, "What does love mean?"  The answers they
got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for
her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis
too. That's love."

Rebecca- age 8



When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You
just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4



"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

Karl - age 5



"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most
of your French fries without making them give you any
of theirs."

Chrissy -age 6



"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Terri - age 4



"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and
she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK."

Danny - age 7



"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get
tired of kissing, you still want to be together and
you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They
look gross when they kiss"

Emily - age 8



"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if
you stop opening
presents and listen."

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)



"If you want to learn to love better, you should start
with a friend
who you hate,"

Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on
this planet)



"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then
he wears it
everyday."

Noelle - age 7



"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man
who are still
friends even after they know each other so well."

Tommy - age 6



"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was
scared. I looked
at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving
and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't
scared anymore."

Cindy - age 8



"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see
anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

Clare - age 6



"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of
chicken."

Elaine-age 5



"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and
still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

Chris - age 7



"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone
all day." (my personal favorite)

Mary Ann - age 4



"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me
all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down
and little stars
come
out of you." (what an imagination)

Karen - age 7



"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she
doesn't think
it's gross."

Mark - age 6



"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean
it.  But if you
mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."

Jessica - age 8



And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia
once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of
the contest was to find the most caring child.



The winner was a four year old child whose next door
neighbor was an
elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon
seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat
there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the
neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped
him cry"

Thank you for that. It made my day. I was just feeling so cynical about a lot 
of the kids and families out there (being a teacher will do that to you!:) 
but that really lifted my spirits....

What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to
a group of 4- to
8-year-olds, "What does love mean?"  The answers they
got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for
her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis
too. That's love."

Rebecca- age 8



When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You
just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4



"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

Karl - age 5



"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most
of your French fries without making them give you any
of theirs."

Chrissy -age 6



"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Terri - age 4



"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and
she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK."

Danny - age 7



"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get
tired of kissing, you still want to be together and
you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They
look gross when they kiss"

Emily - age 8



"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if
you stop opening
presents and listen."

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)



"If you want to learn to love better, you should start
with a friend
who you hate,"

Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on
this planet)



"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then
he wears it
everyday."

Noelle - age 7



"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man
who are still
friends even after they know each other so well."

Tommy - age 6



"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was
scared. I looked
at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving
and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't
scared anymore."

Cindy - age 8



"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see

In the long and seemingly futile quest to build a better roach trap, researchers have identified the come-hither chemical of the female German cockroach and produced a synthetic version that makes males come running in fewer than nine seconds.

michael butler <michael@michaelbutler.com> has asked the Democratic Party to tell you about the following action center on Democrats.org.

Governor Dean's Plan for the Future of the Democratic Party



Show Up! Never concede a single state, county, district, or voter. Build a truly national party that wages a permanent campaign in all 50 states.

Strengthen State Parties and the Grassroots. Better integrate state and national party operations and support Democrats organizing in local communities.

Focus on Our Core Values. Articulate core Democratic values strongly and clearly, and show people how our agenda for reform reflects those values. 

Take Advantage of Cutting-Edge Technologies. Leverage the Internet and cutting-edge technologies to better organize, empower, and communicate with people.

Train Tomorrow's Leaders. Strengthen our leadership institutes so we can recruit new talent, cultivate new leaders, and elect Democrats at every level of office.



Sign our pledge below and tell us in the comments section what we can do to build the party in your community. We'll deliver your remarks to Governor Dean.

Click here to take action today!

Two things: I updated the wedding web site.... keep checking back there 
(especially closer to the actual date. It's *only* 483 days away!:) I tried to 
update it to include the engagement picture but it didn;t work..... oh well

http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/AmyKazan&SethGoodchild 


And I posted the engagement pictures to the yahoo web site. Also I zoomed in 
on my ring in one so for the people who haven't been able to see it yet, check 
that out. (look under "Seth and Me")

Okay, a bit of unsolicited advice...

I don't know what your religious affiliation is, if any, but....

If you're planning to get married Catholic, then please, please, please,
PLEASE RESERVE YOUR PRE-CANA SPOT NOW!!!! As a member of my church's
Pre-Cana team, I can tell you that spots fill up REALLY quickly. Get that

Seth both agree on the dates...we've called couples back to verify their

for anything!)

Good advice for all Catholics who are planning to get married!

I am Catholic but we're not getting married in a Catholic ceremony.... my 
fiance isn't and doesn't want to be and we want to get married outside so that 
means it wouldn't be a valid Catholic marriage (don't ask)

we're actually trying to figure out exactly who is going to married us. We 
want it to be Christain, but not very religious... I'm envisioning music and 
readings (some Biblical, some poetry) and things like that....he isn't really a 
member of any church and I'm only as member of the Catholic church.... so we're 
kinda stuck on that right now.

Hi Amy,

 I wouldn't worry about that at all.
 in this day and age, I'm sure you can design your own beautiful ceremony
without 
any "official" blessings by any organized religon!

attendance, and sometimes the fianc?[e] didn't even know they were signed up
for anything!)

Good advice for all Catholics who are planning to get married!

Op-Ed Columnist: Where's the Road Beef?
By MAUREEN DOWD

At the dawn of feminism, there was an assumption that women would not be as severely judged on their looks in ensuing years. Phooey. It's just the opposite.

Hi Amy,

I designed my entire wedding myself.  I chose a licensed minister who was a 
Native American woman, and then I had a Native American yuwipi do a 
blessing.   My marriage was outdoors, I cut the wood and  gatherred the sage 
that my arbor and altar would be made from.  I tied over 1000 prayer ties.  
The ceremony was very spiritual without being religious.   You can ask a 
judge to perform the ceremony or a justice of the peace, and design your own 
vows using any poems or exerpts from the bible if you choose.  Don't feel 
you have to do anything that doesn't feel right to both of you.

There is also the  Unity church which is a non denominational church.  Their 
headquarters is in Lee's Summit, Missouri and they are across the nation.  I 
held my daughter's baptism at a buddhist temple temple.  It just seemed to 
be a special place of beauty and serenity.  It was on a lake.  Everyone was 
very happy with the ceremony and the location!

Beautiful poem! We have reviewed Harvey's Book "Have You Thought Of Leonard 
Peltier lately?"  at Q and P.  I believe it is in the October 2004 issue.  I 
have a copy which I am now reading.  It is really powerful!

Jonathon has your book been reviewed?

Vincent I have been married 3 times,my 1st was to an Armenian girl,it was an 
Armenian ceremony, let me tell you those Armenians give us Irish a run for 
our money when it comes to partying. But I must say my last wedding was the 
best we had a Justice of Peace & read our own vows.

The Plot Thickens Online

Producers of TV dramas are creating Web-only content that adds story elements and interactivity to keep viewers engaged.

February 25 2005

The Beacon Hill murders have Sherri Washburn baffled. She spends hours each day sifting through crime-scene photographs and police reports, musing over such questions as why the numeral "3" was scrawled in blood on the foreheads of the three victims. More evidence, she figures, might help her crack the case.

>
>INJUSTICE AGAINST LEONARD PELTIER:
>THE ROLE OF MEDIA MANIPULATION
>
>===================================
>
>Background
>
>Beginning in January 1975, the Senate Select Committee to Study
>Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities,
>known as the "Church Committee" (named after its chairman Frank
>Church), took public and private testimony from hundreds of
>people, collected huge volumes of files from the Federal Bureau
>of Investigation (FBI) and many other federal agencies, and
>issued 14 reports.
>
>Since the passage of the JFK Assassination Records Collection
>Act in 1992, over 50,000 pages of Church Committee records
>have been declassified and made available to the public.  These
>files contain testimony and information on the FBI's counter-
>intelligence programs and related topics.
>
>As discovered by the Church Committee and reported in 1976,
>the goals of the COounterINTELligence PROgrams of the period from
>1956 to the mid-1970s were to "expose, disrupt, misdirect,
>discredit, or otherwise neutralize" those persons or organizations that
>the FBI decided were "enemies of the State."
>
>The COINTELPROs were designed to "disrupt" groups and
>"neutralize" individuals deemed to be threats to domestic
>security.  The law - in particular, the U.S. Constitution - was
>simply ignored.  There was a general attitude that intelligence
>needs were responsive to a higher law.  According to the Church
>Committee:  "Whatever opinion one holds about the policies of
>the targeted groups, many of the tactics employed by the FBI
>were indisputably degrading to a free society."
>
>One of the most effective tactics used, as documented by the
>Church Committee, was the use by the Bureau of the media to
>not only impact on the public image of the FBI, but also to
>disrupt the public communication channels of targeted
>individuals and dissident groups, as well as spread mis-
>information about them so as to adversely affect public
>perceptions and attitudes.
>
>Examples:
>
>+ Planting a series of derogatory articles about Martin Luther
>King, Jr., and the Poor People's Campaign.  In anticipation of
>the 1968 "Poor People's March on Washington, DC," Bureau
>Headquarters granted authority to furnish "cooperative news
>media sources" an article "designed to curtail success of
>Martin Luther King's fund raising."  Another memorandum
>illustrated how "photographs of demonstrators" could be
>used in discrediting the civil rights movement.  Six
>photographs of participants in the poor people's campaign in
>Cleveland accompanied the memorandum with the following
>note attached:  "These [photographs] show the militant
>aggressive appearance of the participants and might be of
>interest to a cooperative news source."  Information on the
>Poor People's Campaign was provided by the FBI to friendly
>reporters on the condition that "the Bureau must not be
>revealed as the source."
>
>+ Soliciting information from Field Offices "on a continuing
>basis" for "prompt... dissemination to the news media... to
>discredit the New Left movement and its adherents."  The
>Headquarters directive requested, among other things, that
>specific data should be furnished depicting "the scurrilous and
>depraved nature, of many of the characters, activities, habits,
>and living conditions representative of New Left adherents...
>Every avenue of possible embarrassment must be vigorously
>and enthusiastically explored."
>
>+ Ordering Field Offices to gather information which would
>disprove allegations by the "liberal press, the bleeding hearts,
>and the forces on the left" that the Chicago police used undue
>force in dealing with demonstrators at the 1968 Democratic
>Convention.
>
>+ Taking advantage of a close relationship with the Chairman of
>the Board - described in an FBI memorandum as "our good
>friend" - of a magazine with national circulation to influence
>articles that related to the FBI.  For example, through this
>relationship, the Bureau: "squelched" an "unfavorable article
>against the Bureau" written by a freelance writer about an FBI
>investigation; "postponed publication" of an article on another
>FBI case; "forestalled publication" of an article by Dr. Martin
>Luther King, Jr.; and received information about proposed editing
>of King's articles.
>
>As these instances demonstrate, the FBI has covertly influenced
>the public's perception of persons and organizations by
>disseminating derogatory information to the press, either
>anonymously or through "friendly" news contacts.  The impact of
>those articles is generally difficult to measure, although in some cases
>there are fairly direct connections to injury to the target.  Beginning
>immediately after the shoot-out at Oglala, in force
>during his trial, and continuing into recent history, this is
>particularly true in the case of Leonard Peltier.  Yes, this
>tactic continues to be used against Peltier today.
>
>Executive Clemency
>
>In 1993, Leonard Peltier requested Executive Clemency from
>then President Clinton.  Peltier's petition was not seriously
>investigated or considered until the year 2000.
>
>In 1999-2000, an intensive campaign was launched - supported
>by Native and human rights organizations, members of
>Congress, community and church groups, labor organizations,
>luminaries, and celebrities.  The Peltier case became a national
>issue.
>
>On November 7, 2000, during a live radio interview, Clinton
>stated that he would seriously consider Peltier's request for
>clemency and make a decision before leaving office on January
>20, 2001.
>
>In response, the FBI launched a major "disinformation" campaign
>in the media, and among key government officials and members
>of Congress.
>
>Many citizens were highly disturbed by a number of public
>statements and actions by various FBI officers in 1999-2000.
>These officials, by the way, publicly announced that their
>one and only goal was to block the release of Mr. Peltier,
>whether through parole or clemency.
>
>At the outset, the propriety of members of the Department of
>Justice (DOJ) engaging in such a public campaign was questionable. Parole
>and clemency decisions are largely determined at various
>branches of the Justice Department and neutrality and fairness
>in the handling of such matters must be above reproach.  Having
>members of one branch of the Department engaged in vigorous
>lobbying on these matters (to Congress and the American people)
>certainly raised serious questions.
>
>Many of the statements made by DOJ officials during the
>Peltier clemency campaign (and since) were false, intentionally
>misleading, or omitted highly relevant information with the
>intent of deceiving the public.  Still other statements were
>highly emotional and dramatic, if not near hysterical, in
>nature. These constant declarations were clearly intended to
>misinform the public and create an atmosphere of fear and
>confusion, all with the goal of depriving Mr. Peltier of a
>fair and reasoned consideration of his legal requests for parole
>and clemency.
>
>Most notable, in November 1999, during efforts by a number of
>Mr. Peltier's supporters to disseminate information and
>increase public awareness about his case, the Federal Bureau
>of Investigation Agents Association placed a large paid
>advertisement in the Washington Post.  This ad intended to
>mislead the public and obstruct full and fair consideration
>of Peltier's parole and clemency requests with statements that
>were inappropriate, inaccurate, deceptive, and inflammatory.
>
>Similar public statements were made by individual FBI agents,
>as well as the organizers of a Web site dedicated to denying
>a fair consideration of Mr. Peltier's requests for parole.
>
>But nothing was more bizarre than the event of December 15, 2000.
>In an unprecedented event, over 500 FBI agents marched in front
>of the White House to oppose clemency for Leonard Peltier.  The
>agents claimed to be exercising their First Amendment rights and
>argued they were acting as private citizens on their own time
>despite the fact that this march took place during standard
>business hours.  FBI agents are law enforcement officers, it
>should be remembered.  As such, they are generally considered
>to be always on duty.  They also are officers of the court and on
>ethical grounds should have refrained from out-of-court
>communication, verbal or otherwise.
>
>The marchers risked disciplinary action (which never
>materialized, despite the concerns of then Attorney General
>Janet Reno) for one purpose, we believe, i.e., to garner media
>attention.  Indeed, the media paid special attention to the staged event,
>with segments airing on evening news programs of all the
>major television networks.  There appeared to have been a news
>blackout, however, with regard to the event five days earlier when
>THOUSANDS of people marched in support of Leonard Peltier in front of the
>United Nations building in New York City.
>
>All of the above tactics proved successful.  Despite indications
>from the White House that clemency was imminent, on January 20,
>2001, the list of clemencies granted by Clinton was released to
>the media.  Without explanation, Peltier's name had been excluded.
>
>Continuing Media Manipulation
>
>State ethics rules prohibit prejudicial statements by attorneys in a case.
>  These rules apply in both state and federal court, and to
>prosecutors and defense attorneys alike.  The Supreme Court in
>Gentile v. State Bar of Nevada noted that "[f]ew interests under
>the Constitution are more fundamental than the right to a fair trial by
>impartial jurors," and such ethics rules are necessary to
>uphold that right.
>
>The American Bar Association's Model Rule 3.6, on Trial
>Publicity, sets the standard.  It prohibits an attorney who is
>participating in a case investigation or litigation - as well as any
>lawyer in the same firm or government agency - from making an
>out-of-court statement that would have the substantial likelihood
>of prejudicing "an adjudicative proceeding" in the matter.
>
>In early February 2004, a murder trial was held in Rapid City,
>South Dakota.  Arlo Looking Cloud was charged in the murder of
>Anna Mae Pictou Aquash in 1976.
>
>During the trial, it is true that the U.S. prosecutor refrained
>from making out-of-court statements.  However, the majority of
>the testimony presented by the U.S. prosecutor during the four-
>day trial concerned the American Indian Movement (AIM), in
>general, and Leonard Peltier, in particular, and had no relevance
>to the government's case.
>
>There is no ethics rule to prevent in-court statements.
>Reporters observing the trial were treated to a barrage of
>prejudicial information that served to sensationalize the
>proceedings.  This clearly had an effect on jurors, but we
>believe the real target audience was the media and, by extension,
>the American public.
>
>The style and content of the articles published by the media
>during the February trial of Arlo Looking Cloud were
>alarmingly similar to those published by the media at the
>request of particular FBI agents during Peltier supporters'
>campaign for Executive Clemency in 1999-2001.
>
>Since the Looking Cloud trial, the media mentions about
>Peltier have increased, as well as highlighted and exaggerated
>the testimony given during the trial, to the extent that now
>it is claimed that Peltier may have ordered the murder of
>Annie Mae.
>
>What the media does not report is that Leonard Peltier simply did
>not have the authority within AIM to order any such action.  At
>the alleged time of the murder, Peltier was himself a prisoner
>in a Canadian prison and mostly isolated from the happenings in
>South Dakota.  Leonard did not learn many of the details
>of Annie Mae's death until he was extradited to the United States
>in December 1976, nearly one year after her murder occurred.
>Leonard Peltier simply had nothing whatsoever to do with Anna Mae
>Aquash's murder.
>
>Conclusion
>
>Nearly 30 years after the incident at Oglala, the FBI and
>government prosecutors still engage in vengeful acts.  They
>carefully avoided out-of-court statements this past year,
>However, they did use actual court proceedings, primarily for
>the benefit of the media, to intentionally provide as fact
>false information to the public on AIM and Leonard Peltier.
>This has the effect of rewriting history with regard to AIM,
>in general, and Leonard Peltier, in particular, so as to
>prejudice the public against them.  The sensational claims
>of witnesses - some of them paid informants - were widely
>reported in the press.  As other prosecutions with respect
>to the Aquash murder are pending, such behavior has the
>appearance of having been done for the purpose of prejudicing
>the public against AIM in a state where anti-AIM sentiment
>and racism against Native Americans already runs very high.
>In our considered opinion, these actions have been taken to
>influence the outcome of pending federal prosecutions by
>potentially poisoning the jury pool, as well as destroy
>support for Peltier and prevent his release on parole in 2008.

Santa Ana College Theatre Arts Department presents

HAIR

The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical 2005

   Book and Lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado

SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA: The Age of Aquarius comes to Phillips Hall
Theatre at Santa Ana College as we visit the "Flower Children" of
the formidable and turbulent 1960's. HAIR is as intriguing today as

scores created for the musical theatre! First produced in 1968, Hair
was a revolutionary theatrical phenomenon, with the first rock-
inflected score (including "Aquarius" and "Good Morning, Star
Shine," among others) to arrive on Broadway, where it ran for more
than four years. It tells the story of a group of young men facing
the draft during the Vietnam War. Its anti-establishment bent makes
it particularly timely right now. HAIR is at once nostalgic,
enlightening, and contemporary, and is sure to have you dancing in
the aisles. Although there is NO NUDITY in this production, HAIR

for children under the age of 16.

King Karl   ---   It's no big deal, insists the White House. But Rove's new duties will help fix Bush's place in history.  By Howard Fineman and Michael Isikoff. Newsweek Feb. 21 issue - 

 

Saudis thrive in the heat, but not the Washington kind. In July 2003, they were looking for protective cover. A congressional panel had issued a report on the roots of the 9/11 attacks, in which 15 of the 19 perpetrators were Saudis. The report contained 28 superclassified pages that described evidence of possible Saudi funding for two of the hijackers. In reaction, the Saudis descended on the capital, eager to dispute the charges and reassure George W. Bush and his administration. Prince Saud al-Faisal sat down with the president, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Colin Powell. Later that same day, the prince met with national-security adviser Condi Rice.

Hi Tribe and all!
Will anyone be going to the show on any of the two Saturdays. I'm
working on Pirates of the Caribbean during the week but would love it if
anyone wants to go on Saturday. Let me know.
The new server of my site provides a discussion space, and the first to
log in is someone who really lived in the heart of British rock, the
former girlfriend of one of the most colourful drummers in British rock
history, who unfortunately is no longer with us.
She is now married to Gordon Waller of Peter & Gordon fame, and Gordon
is still out playing the gigs. So I'm hoping that we can create a
dialogue of the real history of rock from the stove cooking! Those of
you who have a story to tell are welcome to tell the true stories, no
press release material in this! Just click on "Discussion" and log in.
Peace forever
Paul Korda

Subject: [Mb-hair] Ossie Davis snub at Academy Awards
Message-ID: <000a01c51d6c$fd00f8e0$f0807643@0019448444>

Dear Cybertribe,


Did any of you watch the Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night?

If you did, did you notice that when the tribute was given to the movie people who died in the previous year one person, and only one person, had their picture and caption rotated and diminished by special effects?

All that I could tell was that it was a black male as the picture was so distorted and the caption rendered totally illegible on my television set.

I believe that the person chosen for this special, nation-wide, insult was the late and great Ossie Davis.  Was this snub due to a choice made by the Academy, ABC television, or by both?

I wonder if the people at the ceremony saw this corrupted image or a "clean feed" projected on their large-screen monitors?  If they saw the corrupted image that apparently was broadcast nation-wide, I certainly didn't hear any reaction from the Academy members!

The Academy and ABC should investigate this incident,  publicly announce who the snubbed person was and why he was so treated, and then fire those responsible.

Sorry for the rant, but this is one angry old white fart!  Needless to say, I hope that I really saw this incident incorrectly, and that it was only a benign "accident."  I am looking forward to comments from others who saw the ceremony.


Blessed be with peace and love,
John

I was watching and I noticed that during Ossie Davis they showed the screen with the stage at the awards instead of just the picture taking up the whole TV.... I didn't notice any distortions.... maybe I missed it...

The Movielink-Blinkx tie-up, enabling Web surfers to buy or rent movies and TV shows, could be a preview of coming attractions.

By Chris Gaither
Times Staff Writer

February 28 2005

SAN FRANCISCO &#8212; A deal between two little-known California technology companies is the first step, some experts say, in what could be the next big thing on the Web: search engines that let you find movies and TV episodes &#8212; and then buy or rent them.
