Hello all you HAIR freaks. Ya know I always get kinda philosophical and 
sentimental whenever we kiss one year goodbye and greet a new one. But I'm 
gonna keep it relatively short this year.
Always remember the great lessons that HAIR has taught us all. Once upon a 
time there were hippies roaming everywhere who were kind and giving and 
caring and sharing and loving each other. These ideals are the best I can 
offer up to you at any given time. The most simple thing in the world is to 
accept and practice tolerance towards others. It doesn't take up any of our 
time; it does take a daily mindset. We have enough hate, bigotry, prejudice, 
and cruelity to last our lifetime and our children's lifetime. We can be a 
wonderful power of example to all who cross our paths if we only hold HAIR 
and all its fantastic values in our hearts and conduct ourselves 
accordingly.
May we all share a new year of traveling along our life's path in peace and 
harmony.

PEACE,
Leo

Information Age? More like the New Middle Ages
By Eric Jager
Eric Jager teaches medieval literature at UCLA and is the author of "The
Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal, and Trial by Combat in Medieval
France."

January 1, 2006

IT'S ONLY 2006, and people have already dubbed this new century the
Information Age, the Digital Age or the Connectivity Age. I have a more
accurate name for the 21st century, and I encourage us all to start using it
today: The New Middle Ages.

With the resurgence of legalized torture, rampant religious fanaticism,
widespread poverty and illiteracy, the threat of mysterious plagues,
fascination with magic and the occult and suspicion of science, what else
would you call it?

Nearly 30 years ago, when Barbara Tuchman published her bestselling book, "A
Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century," her title hinted that we could
catch our own reflection in the medieval past. We now live even further from
the 14th century's disastrous wars, popular revolts, religious strife and
epidemic plague ? yet the mirror no longer seems so distant. Tuchman wrote
her epochal book after the worst horrors of the last century, including an
influenza pandemic that killed millions, two devastating world wars and the
Holocaust but before AIDS, Ebola and now the avian flu raised the specter of
modern plague, before the fall of communism unleashed civil war and genocide
in the Balkans and before religious extremists seized power in Iran and
Islamic terrorists began attacking Western cities, giving dangerous new life
to medieval words like "crusade" and "jihad."

One of my students once wrote, "Medieval people were so ignorant, they had
no idea they were living in the Middle Ages." He was partly right. Medieval
people thought they lived in modern times ? just as we think we do today.
The word "modern" was actually coined by medieval people to distinguish
themselves from the ancients. The Renaissance stole the label of modernity
for itself and invented a prior "middle age" when classical civilization lay
dormant, awaiting a glorious rebirth. The Enlightenment made the "barbaric"
and "superstitious" Middle Ages seem even more obsolete.

We now use the word "modern" as a compliment, not just for ourselves but
also for our latest inventions. But human know-how changes at the speed of
light compared with human nature. Has our collective virtue really increased
since, say, 1348? Or have we confused technical upgrades with signs of moral
progress? Terrorists and identity thieves take to computers with the same
enthusiasm as teenagers and bond traders. Tools are only as good ? in every
sense ? as those who use them.

Like our gadgets, we ourselves are only temporarily modern, and that label
will be taken from us very soon. What sort of mirror will later generations
find in us? The people of the future, looking back on our violent and
benighted era, may decide to call us "medieval," so I suggest we just go
ahead and accept that the New Middle Ages have begun.

when i joked our brain i made of fatty tissue and needs cholesterol to be  
normal and that statin drugs or lipid lowering agents would take the fat out of  
the blood stream then wondered what would happen to our brain? [forgive the  
simplicity of the statement but this is essentially the topic for non medical  
recipients] i came across this article which i found interesting, since we 
are  giving statin drugs to almost everyone these days as if they are  
innocuous.

'Catching up on my tech reading, again, an interesting item...

 
"Study: TV, Personal Computer Usage Varies Among Minorities"
 
CED Magazine

A new study put out by Menlo Park, Calif.-based Knowledge Networks
indicates African American and Hispanic households tune in differently
to their TVs and computers. African Americans have more TVs and larger
sets compared to Hispanic or white families, but when it comes to PCs
and broadband Internet access, African American and Hispanic households
still lag behind white peers. 
The report found that 62 percent of African American homes had more than
two TVs, compared to 51 percent of white and 44 percent of Hispanic
households. About 49 percent of African American homes have TVs larger
than 30 inches, compared to 44 percent of white and 41 percent of
Hispanic homes. 
When it comes to computers, the numbers reverse, with 70 percent of
white households owning a home computer compared to 55 percent of
African American households and 47 percent of Hispanic homes. The
difference in percentage of broadband Internet service among the
households also is dramatic, with 30 percent of white families linking
to high-speed service, compared to just 19 percent of African American
and 16 percent of Hispanic homes.

'Strapped' for Adulthood
By Jodie Janella Horn, PopMatters
Posted on January 3, 2006, Printed on January 3, 2006
http://www.alternet.org/story/30041/

I didn't need Tamara Draut to tell me that I'm strapped, but I did need her
to tell my mom.

In the five years since I graduated from college, the same argument has
arisen again and again. I insist that it's much harder to make a living now
versus when she was my age in the mid-'70s. My mom disagrees, and continues
to wonder why I haven't taken her advice and purchased a home. I inform her
that a down payment on a condo in Los Angeles, where I live and work, would
be greater than the sum total of all the money I've made this year. She
again tells me the story of how she and my father saved the money for their
first down payment while she was a drugstore clerk and he was an
oft-unemployed electrical engineer. I tell her those days are over, at least
in California, and she doesn't believe me. Repeat as necessary.

This ongoing fight with my mom had reached an all-time high recently because
my husband and I have begun to panic about our future. Unless, somehow, we
can genetically engineer offspring that needs neither food nor diapers, our
hopes of being able to afford a child are not great. In addition to cash
flow issues, my job does not provide paid maternity leave, and our insurance
doesn't cover much, let alone pregnancy.

As a result of this stress, I have developed a recurring fantasy of taking
President Bush, grabbing him by the hair and slamming his face on his desk
repeatedly while screaming, "Family values? I'll show you family values. I'm
moving to Canada so I can afford to have a family." Hell hath no fury like a
lioness without cubs.

Since my mother and I both find the prospect of my moving back home
nightmarish, I decided to end our "Standards of Living: Then and Now" debate
once and for all. I sent her Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings
Can't Get Ahead, and guess what? It worked! Yes, the Strapped method of
garnering parental support worked for me. I want to do infomercials for the
book now. "Do your baby boomer parents wonder why all their success hasn't
rubbed off on you? Do they ask you why they bothered to send you to college
when you're un- or underemployed? Do they think you're paying more than half
your paycheck in rent just because you're decadent? Then this book is for
you!"

Draut lays it out like a pro without indulging the whininess that so often
creeps into my voice when I try to convey my generation's situation to my
mother. The problems for us youngsters are as follows: College is expensive
and induces debt, paychecks aren't rising with the cost of living, rent and
home prices are prohibitively high, starting a family is costly, and
finally, We Are All In Debt (sing it to the tune of Weezer's "We Are All on
Drugs" if it'll make you feel better).

Furthermore, young people have lost faith in politics and government as a
mechanism for enacting real change in our lives, and aren't protesting or
voting at the rates that our parents did. The problems affecting the young
are far greater for people coming from low-income families. Even public and
community colleges are vastly more expensive than they were for my parents'
generation, so many kids have to work full- or part-time to float their
tuition.

However, all that working gets in the way of studying, and many students get
caught in the trap: They need more money, so they work more hours and take
fewer classes, and eventually they no longer have time for school. If
students do finally finish school, most are wracked with inhibiting student
loan payments.

Couple that with an economy that is increasingly punishing to individuals
without college degrees, and you've got a problem. The median income,
adjusted to 2002 dollars, for a male with a high school diploma has fallen
from $42,630 in 1972 to $29,647 in 2002.

In addition to the student loan debt most of us acquire, we also have credit
card debt. Draut points out that conventional wisdom says that young people
"are wildly decadent about their spending," but her interviews with young
people across the country uncovered that credit card debt was usually
acquired fixing cars and traveling home for holidays and weddings.
Additionally, credit cards bear the costs of setting up an apartment and
acquiring a professional wardrobe.

The use of credit cards might not be so damning to young people were it not
the untamed political lobbying cash cow that is the credit industry. There
is little federal regulation of the fees and interest rates that credit
cards can charge, making borrowing a complicated game that leaves many
people screwed when it comes time to purchase their first home.

Perhaps the most pressing dilemma that Draut presents is that of the high
cost of starting a family. While federal law stipulates that new parents can
take up to three months off from their job, it does not require that time to
be paid. As a result, only 36 percent of women and 33 percent of men take
parental leave.

Now that the standard for families is two working parents, child care is a
pressing concern with no easy way out. As Draut says, "When the cost of
child care is prohibitively high, it may make sense on paper for one parent
-- usually it's the mother -- to stay home."

At this point in my life, it makes sense for me to find a career that allows
me to also stay at home to raise children or that pays well enough to afford
quality child care, but these are lofty goals, and my options are limited.

My mom actually took notes while reading. Her best notation? "Book premise
-- harder and more costly to become an adult." Now that my mother is in tune
with the pressing issues facing young people trying to become a full-fledged
adult with a spouse, a home, a car, and a job, there's no reason why the
young people affected can't become more aware and heed Draut's call to
political arms.

Unless you want to a future of greater economic stratification and tyranny
of debt collectors, read the book, pass it around, and start drafting some
letters to politicians.

France."

January 1, 2006

IT'S ONLY 2006, and people have already dubbed this new century the
Information Age, the Digital Age or the Connectivity Age. I have a more
accurate name for the 21st century, and I encourage us all to start using it
today: The New Middle Ages.

With the resurgence of legalized torture, rampant religious fanaticism,
widespread poverty and illiteracy, the threat of mysterious plagues,
fascination with magic and the occult and suspicion of science, what else
would you call it?

Nearly 30 years ago, when Barbara Tuchman published her bestselling book, "A
Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century," her title hinted that we could
catch our own reflection in the medieval past. We now live even further from
the 14th century's disastrous wars, popular revolts, religious strife and
epidemic plague ? yet the mirror no longer seems so distant. Tuchman wrote
her epochal book after the worst horrors of the last century, including an
influenza pandemic that killed millions, two devastating world wars and the
Holocaust but before AIDS, Ebola and now the avian flu raised the specter of
modern plague, before the fall of communism unleashed civil war and genocide
in the Balkans and before religious extremists seized power in Iran and
Islamic terrorists began attacking Western cities, giving dangerous new life
to medieval words like "crusade" and "jihad."

One of my students once wrote, "Medieval people were so ignorant, they had
no idea they were living in the Middle Ages." He was partly right. Medieval
people thought they lived in modern times ? just as we think we do today.
The word "modern" was actually coined by medieval people to distinguish
themselves from the ancients. The Renaissance stole the label of modernity
for itself and invented a prior "middle age" when classical civilization lay
dormant, awaiting a glorious rebirth. The Enlightenment made the "barbaric"
and "superstitious" Middle Ages seem even more obsolete.

We now use the word "modern" as a compliment, not just for ourselves but
also for our latest inventions. But human know-how changes at the speed of
light compared with human nature. Has our collective virtue really increased
since, say, 1348? Or have we confused technical upgrades with signs of moral
progress? Terrorists and identity thieves take to computers with the same
enthusiasm as teenagers and bond traders. Tools are only as good ? in every
sense ? as those who use them.

Like our gadgets, we ourselves are only temporarily modern, and that label
will be taken from us very soon. What sort of mirror will later generations
find in us? The people of the future, looking back on our violent and
benighted era, may decide to call us "medieval," so I suggest we just go
ahead and accept that the New Middle Ages have begun.

Dear Michael -

Our hearts go out to you with the deepest possible sympathy. Thank you 
for sharing this sad news with us.  Hope you know you are in our thoughts.

One of the most interesting things about this year for me was learning 
more about your amazing family, and its adventures in theater of all 
kinds.  Your father was a remarkable man, and he gets more remarkable 
the more I learn about him.  His memory will be honored in many ways.  I 
can only imagine how you feel.  As others have said, we are here if you 
need us.

Love always,
Bill

Hi!

I'm writing to ask you to join me in writing a short note to your
Senators, asking them to oppose Judge Samuel Alito for the Supreme
Court.

Judge Alito has a record of extreme views on issues like privacy and
civil rights and a pattern of deception to hide them from congress and the
public. He's the wrong choice for the highest court in the land.

You can
write a short letter to your Senators and deliver it online just by going

Dear, Dear Michael,

I met you very briefly at the reunion at LaMama.  My deepest heartfelt 
sympathy for you and your family.  That was your Dad, that was putting the 
flower in the rifle at the Demonstration in Washington DC  in 1966???????  I 
feel honored that I was standing right in front of him when that happened. I 
will never forget the applause from the crowd. (  Unbelievable!!!!)  I 
wasn't personally arrested, but a couple of my friends were, and relased the 
same day. Remember the scene in the movie Forrest Gump, when Jenny came 
running through the water when she saw Forrest???  That was another 
inccident that happened that very same day. ( an inccident that they chose 
from that day to include in the movie Forrest Gump) A very special day, that 
will always remain clear in my mind forever!! I can see that you will have 
many Beautiful memories of your Dad.  Bless you Michael!!

Love & Peace for you Forever
Your Sister ~ Elizabeth ~

Nonononono, that was his brother, actually, whose name ALSO was George 
Harris. :) (aka Hibiscus) I thought it was really cool that that scene 
was parodied on The Simpsons a few years ago!

Hi folks - 

Attached below is some information just in from Mike Blaxill 
about a benefit he is putting together for the victims of the 
October 8th earthquake in the Kashmir region of Pakistan and 
Northern India, and for which he is bringing together Hair 
alumni for a set of Hair songs. Below, in his invitation, is a
list of alumni who are performing, and he would love to have
you join them. If you have any questions, or are interested 
please contact Mike directly, at the numbers and email 
address listed in his letter below.

Happy new year to you all! May 2006 bring you all much love, 
laughter, peace, health and perhaps another chance to see each
other like we did last September!
Love,
Nina

Greetings..

..And a Happy New Year to you! For the past few
years I've been involved in putting on benefit
concerts for liberal causes and have recently
teamed with Music For America ("providing the
cultural capital and political savvy for the new
generation to reinvent progressive politics")
plus top local NYC indie promoter Todd P.
(TimeOut NY calls him a "One-man Scenemaker" -
more info below) and peace group "We the World"
to produce music shows that inspire young people
to be politically active.

When I attended the amazing Hair reunion at
LaMama last September with my wife Debbie
Andrews, all of us there were witness to the
incredible sound of Hair 2005!! This inspired me
to plan an event that would "feature" members of
the original cast and run of the Broadway HAiR,
plus members of major 60's and 70's productions,
performing an hour-long set of songs from the
show...and to have members from the original band
playing.  We've scheduled a benefit in NYC for
Tuesday January 31st and are inviting you to come
sing!!  

The concert we have planeed for Jan 31st will be
a benefit for victims of the Oct 8th earthquake
in the Kashmir region of Pakistan and Northern
India - proceeds will go to an earthquake relief 
organization very much on the ground and hands on 
in the area.  We'll also be asking for peace and 
cultural understanding in the Kashmir region.

The rest of the line-up is being decided as we
speak. Promoter Todd P. has contacts with top
draw artists in the city, and the fact that HAiR
is involved is making it easy to book...everyone
wants to play with you!! Early invites have gone
out to Norah Jones, Gogol Bordello and Radio
4...NYC indie rock/pop meets Hair originals!!


So far Hair cast members signed up to perform
are:

Heather Mac Rae (Sheila in LA, Miami, and Bway
runs)
Donnie Burks (original Broadway cast)
Debbie Andrews (Crissy in Detroit, Washington, & Broadway runs)
Warren Chiasson (original Broadway percussionist)
Zenobia Conkerite (Dionne in LA and Broadway runs)
Marjorie Lipari (original Broadway cast)
Natalie Mosco (original Broadway cast)
Robert I. Rubinsky (original Broadway cast)
Dale Soules (Jeannie in Broadway run)

Hair author Jim Rado is helping out with vocal
arrangements and getting in touch with cast
members.  Once we have a list of performers we'll
rehearse either mid to late Monday the 30th or
Tues afternoon on the day of.

Because the event is a benefit and we want to
give maximum proceeds to charity - and since we
expect a sell-out crowd and a lot of Hair folks!
- we're humbly asking Hair cast who can to
purchase the $15 tickets.  If you're coming from
out of town we can help you try to find an
inexpensive place to stay.

It's going to be a magical night of peace and
creativity and we hope you can make it!
PEACE

 A recent item in TimeOut NY re promoter Todd P

TIMEOUT NY
Todd P: One-man Scenemaker

It's a cliche among hardworking folks to claim
that they do it "for the love". But rock show
promoter Todd Patrick must be doing it for the
love -- he certainly doesn't do it for the cash. 
Better known as Todd P, the 29 year old Dallas
native has been putting on the scrappiest (read:
most fun and laid-back) events in town since he
moved here in 2001, and for nearly all of them,
he gives 100 percent of the door receipts to the
bands.  Such is his reputation--not to mention
the ever changing rotation of out-of-the-way
clubs he books in--that many local acts no longer
bother saying where the gig is. They'll simply
say "We're playing a Todd P show," and those in
the know understand to check his website
(www.toddpnyc.com).  While Patrick's DIY activity
has been centered in Greenpoint of late--with
shows in small Nassau Avenue bars and advance
tickets sold at the neighborhood shop Eat
Records--he hopes to open his own live-music
space, the Llano Estacado, in Williamsburg later
this year.  "I don't want to do shows seven
nights a week," says Patrick, who's naming the
space after the West Texas region where the
desert meets the plains.  "And I don't want to
compete with full-time rock venues.  If you do
that, you have to do things like find the next
Bravery before they get big. I have no interest
in that stuff."-- Mike Wolf

A Benefit for the Victims of the Earthquake in 
Pakistan and India

featuring performances by members of the original
cast of HAIR and
other musical and cultural performances.

Tuesday January 31, 2006
doors @ 6:30PM

@ CODA CLUB
34 East 34th St

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - January 3rd, 2006

Press Contact - Mike Blaxill <mblaxill@yahoo.com>

- 917 327-6376

On October 8th, 2005, the Kashmir region of 
Pakistan and India was hit by a massive
earthquake - killing 73,000 people and leaving
approximately 3 million  people homeless.

The initial response to the devastating 
earthquake was tremendous as people,
organizations and governments around the world
opened their hearts and their wallets for the
survivors. Even the heavily armed border in
Kashmir was opened for aid to cross in the wake
of the
tragedy.

And yet, 3 months later, 2.5 million people are 
still homeless and facing starvation as the
impending harsh mountain winter draws near.
Already, reports of refugee camps overwhelmed by
snow and scarce provisions are headlining the
international media.

In the spirit of world peace, understanding
between cultures, reconciliation and mutual
respect, Mike Blaxill of Music for America
(MusicForAmerica.org), independent music promoter
Todd P (ToddPNYC.com), and Rick Ulfik of We, The
World (WeTheWorld.org) are organizing a concert
event to benefit victims of  this devastating
October 8th earthquake in Pakistan and Northern
India. In addition to raising awareness, the
funds raised by this benefit will help a number
of charities working for direct aid on the ground
in the affected regions.

The organisers plan this special concert event as
the first of a series that will combine
celebration, information  and action - to raise
awareness and to provide aid for the challenging
future that lies ahead.

The organizers are excited to announce that the
benefit, scheduled for January 31, will feature
members (see profiles below) of the original
Broadway cast and original Broadway run of the
"American Tribal-Love Rock Musical" HAIR -
singing Aquarius, Hair, I Got Life, Easy To Be
Hard, Three-Five-Zero-Zero, Frank Mills, Where Do
I Go, Let the Sunshine In and other hits from the
show that changed America.

The owners of Coda Club on 34 East 34th St have
generously offered their stage for a night that
will feature, in addition to the reunited HAIR
cast, musicians and other cultural performers
representing the spirit of the affected regions,
as well as informative speakers, and some of the
top new rock and noise bands in the city, curated
by avant rock organiser Todd P.

Advance tickets will be available. The ticket
price and sales locations will be announced at a
later date.

Mills". She's also received a National Endowment
for the Arts Jazz Grant for piano, and plays and

York City such as the Oak Room at the Plaza and
the Waldorf-Astoria.

She is a founding member and co-writer of the
pop/rock group Gladshot - The band's songs have
been featured on the WB network and they've
opened for such artists as Michelle Shocked, Head
Automatica, and Corey Harris.

- ZENOBIA CONKERITE
Zenobia made her Broadway and theater career
debut at the age of 18 in the Hair tribe, singing
"What a Piece of Work is Man" and later went on
to perform as one of the original "Weather Girls"
featured on the hit 70s single "It's Raining
Men".

Dear, Dear Michael,

I met you very briefly at the reunion at LaMama. My deepest heartfelt 
sympathy for you and your family. That was your Dad, that was putting the 
flower in the rifle at the Demonstration in Washington DC in 1966??????? I 
feel honored that I was standing right in front of him when that happened I 
will never forget the applause from the crowd. ( Unbelievable!!!!) I 
wasn't personally arrested, but a couple of my friends were, and relased the 
same day. Remember the scene in the movie Forrest Gump, when Jenny came 
running through the water when she saw Forrest??? That was another 
inccident that happened that very same day. ( an inccident that they chose 
from that day to include in the movie Forrest Gump) A very special day, that 
will always remain clear in my mind forever!! I can see that you will have 
many Beautiful memories of your Dad. Bless you Michael!!

Love & Peace for you Forever
Your Sister ~ Elizabeth ~

Happy birthday Doc! (that's Bill.)  What's up?

And to Elizabeth E. - that was my brother George III, not my Dad (also George, but George II) stuffing the flowers in the guns.  You were fortuate to have witnessed it first-hand.  My dad got in a good one during a visit to us here in Seattle during the first Gulf War and Bush #1.  He scribbled a note on a yellow Post-It and stuck it to his jacket.  It read, "Impeach Bush, the Mad Dog Killer!!!"  People took notice, especially my wife's boss, a lifelong Republican.

George the First (my grandfather) was a talented painter who fought in World War One.  He died at age 39.
Geroge Jr (my dad) was 84 when he passed away last month. He served in the Air Force during WW2.
George III (aka Hibiscus, the gun stuffer) died at 32 and protested the Vietnam War.

One of these days I'll write about all three of them - three very different artists who share the same name.

And to all - thanks for your warm wishes of condolance on the passing of my wonderful father.

Peace and love,

WMH

Subject: [Mb-hair] The Great Mystery: An Indigenous Perspective by Scott
	Barta]
Message-ID: <E1Ev58g-0001Ne-HR@smtpauth02.mail.atl.earthlink.net>


?




 The Great Mystery An Indigenous Perspective
 ?
 The ongoing discussion regarding ?atheism, intelligent design, evolution, 
creationism? appearing in the Opinion page in recent December and January 
Northwest Arkansas Times issues reads very interesting. Being from northwest Iowa, 
visiting a good friend in Fayetteville during the ?holiday? break, I rarely 
get a chance to see such dialogue, as the newspaper in my hometown seems too ?
conservative? to even print such discourse.
 ?
 I thought it possible to bring a little ?Indigenous thought? into the 
discussion, facts which are for the most part unknown, unavailable to most, or 
ignored. For most of my adult life I have been studying the Indigenous 
understanding of what is called the ?Great Mystery? or ?All That Is?, in my Nakota 
(misnomer ?Sioux?) Indigenous Red ?Indian? Language, we say ?All That? Is ?
Wakan Tanka.?
 ?
 Contrary to the evolution/creationism people, the Nakota do not try to 
decipher or ?break down? life but instead to learn throughout life to appreciate 
the great gifts of Nature - which we are actually and factually a relative to 
and part of. Without the Two-Legged ?human being?, the Earth and beings of 
Nature would get along just great, yet another ?clue? to be always thankful of 
the Natural World we need.
 ?
 Nakota ?spiritualism? consists very simply of Unci Maka ?Grand Mother Earth?
 and Tunkasina Mahpiya ?Grand Father Sky? which are Wakan Tanka ? the ?
Great Mystery.? The Nakota never worried about why the Sun came up and why the Sun 
went down, but were instead thankful for each Sun rise and Sun set, a very 
advanced way of thought, a manner of thinking now mostly, and unfortunately, 
neglected and disregarded.
 ?
 During the recent influx of huge amounts of European ?Christians? to my 
homelands, Indigenous peoples were forced for many years to submit to the 
god/creation society now prevalent in America. Most of the people I know today ? red, 
white, yellow, or black in skin tone (the four sacred colors of human kind) 
believe in some type of ?creator, higher power? or ?god? concept. The ?god? 
idea was a man-made invention just ten thousand years ago that came 
hand-in-hand with domesticated animals, money, male-dominating power and authority 
desires, slavery, greed, and the denial of Earth and Grand Mother Grand Mother 
Earth (the necessary and important female aspect of the family and community). All 
colors of human kind knew the Earth to be round and had peaceful communities 
and happiness before the ?crusades? or the newfound marauding groups of 
power-hungry conquistadors. The rest is history, so to speak.
 ?
 The rest of my acquaintances do not claim ?god? have some type of ?after 
life? or reincarnation-type theory that they profess to - usually, nonetheless, 
with some type of a ?belief? and often a ?higher power? lingering somewhere 
in the background. In accordance with ancient Indigenous teachings, however, 
it is the duty as two-legged human beings is to be just that ? human beings.
 ?
 Recently, I have discovered within myself, that it is not necessary to have ?
beliefs?, whether it be in science or religion, but instead ?be? and live 
every day in the moment and find contentedness, while understanding and 
appreciating all the great gifts of Nature afforded to us each day from Earth and Sky.
 ?
 For eons, rare and sincere visions and dreams of individuals within 
Indigenous communities were gifted from Wakan Tanka and were highly revered. These 
similar gifts were afforded to all the races of human beings millions of years 
ago (despite Adam and Eve or the monkey theory), and included such things as the 
Fire, the Bow and Arrow, and the Tipi or home shelters.
 ?
 So why did Indigenous Red ?Indian? Nations and Peoples live in such peace 
prior to this ?columbus era? (1492 to the present) upon Great Turtle Island ?
western hemisphere? with no forts, fences, weapons of mass death and 
destruction? They accomplished this by living in balance with Nature, respecting all 
beings of Nature ? thereby making it possible to respect and hold dear their 
human relatives. Water was free and pure, and an individual simply had to hunt and 
gather the fruits, vegetables, plants, and animals (and dry and prepare it 
for winter months) needed for their life. Therefore Indigenous peoples were 
thankful and appreciated even the tiniest drop of water, understandably a reason 
why the Nakota word for water is MiNi or ?My Life.?
 ?
 A most stress free life with no automobiles driving past homes and children 
at forty miles an hour, no child molesters, no burglary, lying, cheating, mu
rder, rape, war; no old age homes, orphanages, or prisons ?freed-up? Indigenous 
Peoples so that they could and did enjoy plenty of quality family and 
community time for sharing and loving.
 ?
 Basic Laws of Nature and common sense principals kept a ?moral compass? (as 
referenced in the Times December 27 issue) intact for all Indigenous Peoples 
long before columbus. Right and wrong was understood ? without scientific or 
religious jargon or man-made ideas and ?laws?, which are only made for 
societies of the lawless. Understanding Wakan Tanka also meant that the Earth was 
known by Indigenous peoples as being round, just like the Sun and Moon ? a fact 
they so eagerly shared with Columbus. Truly a deep understanding of life on 
Grand Mother Earth.
 ?
 There is a continuing struggle for the last of Indigenous resources like 
coal and oil. Greedy corporations who control government policy have a desire for 
lands ? Indian ?reservations? (formerly considered concentration camps) for 
which to place toxic wastes upon. And because the United States already has 
over nine trillion dollars worth of the Nakota People?s ?Black Hills gold? 
housed illegally as stolen property in Fort Knox Kentucky, ?Indigenous information?
 is conveniently left out of ?history? and replaced with such things as the ?
tomahawk chop? or ?Indians scalped.? When in fact, again, it was the early 
Dutch colonists who began the bounty for the whole bodies, then the severed 
heads, then finally just the black hair ?redskin? scalps of the Indigenous men, 
women and children - paid so eagerly by the early colonial governors.
 ?
 It is sometimes difficult to explain these facts to the average American, as 
they have been instructed these stereotypes throughout their ?schooling.? 
When these facts are mentioned, too often a simple response - based in denial, 
is ?Oh you Indians used to kill each other, too!? Although claims of 100 
million dead peaceful Indigenous Peoples at the hands of disease and the early 
pilgrims, settlers, and Americans compares drastically to only 3 ? 5 thousand 
Europeans dead (the largest probably Custer at the Little Big Horn, a mere 200 
fully battle-ready fighting troops) in just five hundred years does tell quite a 
different story then what is ?taught? in American classrooms.
 ?
 How does the above relate to the ?atheism/intelligent design/evolution? 
discussion? My Nakota People conduct many thanksgiving ceremonial exercises 
throughout the year, such as the Sun Dance ? thanking the Day Sun (Sun) and Night 
Sun (Moon) every Summer Solstice. The shortest day, Winter Solstice, of the 
year was also recognized with the cleansing north Winds honored and excitement 
for the ?return? of the Day Sun northward. The Sun warms and the Moon 
facilitates the ocean currents and Sacred Time of the female.
 ?
 Tobacco is offered as thanksgiving to a Sacred Tree when having to take the 
life and cut it down in order to construct our needed Tipi or house, as does 
the same practice occur when the sacred life of all Plants and Animals taken by 
our humanly needs. Lowly man, who would starve, be forced to survive, or 
freeze to death without our superiors. The Sacred Tree does not have to kill to 
live, nor does the Sacred Deer have to ?make fire? to live their lives; and 
neither have to make jackets or blankets to cover themselves during the frigid 
winter months, which qualities are, in fact, superior to humankind. Without 
continual and sincere exercises in thankfulness by the two-legged, the ?chain saw 
is superior to the tree? mentality overrides human common sense, which 
self-destructive spiral is most dangerous for two-legged survival (let alone living) 
upon Sacred Grand Mother Earth.
 ?
 The Natural World is superior to the human being; a fact which is contrary 
to innuendos in the both the Christian bible which suggest man has ?dominion? 
over the earth and its creatures, as well as scientific theory. A 
misunderstanding by Christian peoples and the scientific community is the misconception 
that reason - versus instinct, is somehow a superior trait over Animals and 
Nature. This confusion has led to great tragedies in nature and among human kind.
 ?
 It seems many people today are bound by fear. Some by a fear of dying and ?
going to? a place they call ?heck? ? a fear of the unknown. Yet should fear 
be the deciding factor on what keeps some with their ?moral compass? pointing 
north, and what may keep them behaving? Might their lives instead be dictated 
by love of Earth and Sky, and the great gifts of Nature, their relatives 
ignored and abused?
 ?
 As far as the evolutionists go, hand-in-hand with the ?intelligent designers?
, maybe they spend too much time thinking of ways to create things that 
ultimately destroy Nature ? our extended family. Today I am thankful to the 
evolutionists and creationists and to the Northwest Arkansas Times which has allowed 
me to weigh in on such an important issue.
 ?
 (Also, the ?Folktales from Around the World? piece in the Times on the 27th 
was very interesting also! I like your paper! Keep up the great work 
Northwest Arkansas Times!!)

Yeah, especially because Snopes verifies it as TRUE!

Yeah, I'll tell ya that was quite a Flash Back!!!!!! I hadn't really thought 
about it much until Forrest Gump came out.  My friends who were arrested  
(David and Brandy) were there with your brother waving daisies underneath 
the nose of the soldier, and then your brother stuck the flower in the 
rifle. I can remember waiting to see if the guy was gonna lose it, but he 
didn't. That would have been scary.

My Dad was also in the Air Force in WWII.  He's 87 years old and is living 
near me with my mom in San Diego. Again my condolences.

Peace & Love ~ Elizabeth ~

Elizabeth and Walter,

I hope you understand how much your recollections are appreciated.  Your 
stories have enabled me to personalize what was otherwise "just" a 
historical iconic photograph and event.  I have a much better understanding 
of the risk, fear and bravery of the participants. One of the reasons I love 
belonging to this mailing list is that people share such stories, which 
serve as a reminder that one person CAN make a difference, and ANY of us can 
be that person.  It honors me to be in the presence of some of those who 
have.

Thank you!
-Bil Gonzalez

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your words.  Finding the spirit and sameness in each other is 
indeed a life's work~
The jumping to conclusions usually jump right past the point of dialogue and 
are based on fear and ignorance- no judgement there, just something to look 
at.

I liked how you said that HAIR was a bridge because we pissed off the "left" 
and the "right"...
and purple is my favourite colour!!!

We are living in a sound-byte world.  We need Thomas Merton back to remind 
us of the importance of CONTEMPLATION.

Taking the time to think about something does not constitute "wishy-washy" 
politics.
fatalistic, immediate gratification pisses me off. :)

but I have actively tried to see the Fearmongering phalanx of our executive 
branch with compassion- man is it hard.  it would be cool to jump out of the 
box all together and put down both the guns and flowers and maybe go cook 
something together- yeah, i get a little out of hand with my metaphors...but 
it's fun :)

it's all about what Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the 
same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

I love you all very much.
Peace,
Katie

sad news I just received


P&L Dagmar

   January 7, 2006Barry Cowsill, 51, MissingSince Hurricane, Is Dead By THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6 (AP) - Barry Cowsill, a member of the popular1960's and
early 70's singing 
family the Cowsills, was identifiedTuesday as among the dead nearly four
months after he 
disappeared whenHurricane Katrina flooded this city. He was 51.

Mr. Cowsill's body, recovered Dec. 28 from the Chartres StreetWharf, was
identified with dental 
records, said Dr. Louis Cataldie,head of the state hurricane morgue in
Carville. The cause of death 
hasnot been determined.

Mr. Cowsill, who lived on and off in New Orleans, had not been heardfrom
since he left phone 
messages for his sister on Sept. 1, hisfamily's Web site said. 

The Cowsills, the inspiration for the television series "ThePartridge
Family," recorded a series of top 
hits between 1967 and 1970,including "The Rain, the Park and Other Things"
and "Hair." They 
alsoappeared in commercials and print ads for the American DairyAssociation.

Four Cowsill brothers played in the band: Barry on bass, Bill onguitar, Bob
on guitar and organ, and 
John on drums. Their mother,Barbara, and sister, Susan, eventually joined
the group.

The Cowsills got their start in Newport, R.I., where by 1965 theyhad a
regular gig at a club. They 
were spotted by a producer for NBC's"Today" show who booked them for an
appearance that led to 
a recorddeal.

The band broke up in the 1970's, amid acrimony that left somemembers
estranged for several years.

Barbara Cowsill died in 1985.

In addition to his siblings, Mr. Cowsill is survived by twodaughters and a
son.

Re: WMH's father passes away

He was a man I never met.
His was a name I never knew.
Then I read the "Broadway World" article about his pioneering efforts in the
creation of the "Off-Off-Broadway" theater movement that has had a profound
effect on my life.

The world has lost a great light.
Rest in peace, George E. Harris.



Blessed be with peace, love, and happiness,
John

Hey gang:

My new play is in rehearsal for a February 2 opening
at Theater for the New City in NYC.  It's looking
pretty good.  The play is about Hollywood's Ivar
Theater and it's people-- The Ivar, from 1974-1986,
was one of the cheesiest strip houses to exist.  I
know, I worked there.

If you need a HAIR-connection (and if I myself don't
suffice) one of my leads, Brian Hoover, played Berger
in a Fairfield CT production of HAIR.

Following is a link to explain most of what you should
need to know:

Thanks!

That's part of the game plan, I'm soliciting interest
all over.  A little apprehensive of how the present
owners of the Ivar will take to this, they seem to go
at lengths to disassociate from the theater's past
reputation as much as possible.  Also, they've
rehabilitated the theater more beautifully than it
ever was, and produce children's shows. (!)

'There just could be, a whole new group, being introduced to the music
of Rado, Ragni, and MacDermot....

(These thoughts inspired by a couple of new New York radio series, and
"oldies rock radio," in general....!) 

Jim Burns
____

"Rock Me, Zarathustra (Or, Titan's Calling)" 


I don't think you have to be an inveterate SF buff, to realize, or
remember, that part of the utter exuberance of the '60s, was the space
program. 

We use to launch rockets, with men, on a fairly regular basis, and every
time, was a first time, as NASA, and America, raced to make Kennedy's
deadline, of a man on the moon, before decade's end. 

And it was so much of this great music, that was the soundtrack, for so
many of us, of those aspirations. 

If you were the right age-- 

No, if you were of the right set of mind-- You absolutely believed that
certainly by the turn of the millenium, mankind would have several
addresses, nearer to the stars. 

(And would have, if Nixon hadn't essentially cancelled the space program
on a cold day, in 1969. NASA presented him with the natural extension of
the moon program. Hard to believe, in retrospect, but we were all set to
have "Man on Mars," IN 1980! Nixon cancelled what was supposed to have
been the last three Apollo missions, and nixed everything but the space
shuttle's development--which was particularly odd, since it now had no
where to go to....) 

The lifestyles shown in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY weren't necessarily
science fiction, but what was simply the normal projection of where our
technology could have been allowed to take us. 

But even if, by today, we had our vast space stations, and cities on the
moon, and sojourns to the Red Planet, and beyond-- 

Surely, a destiny that would have been worth meeting up with-- 

It occurs to me, that our past-- 

Our youths, and childhoods, as it were-- 

Would, of course, have remained the same. As would this music, that so
many of us love. 

But it's the prism through which we hear it, that would have changed. 

Our perspective. 

And, it's fascinating to consider if there would have been "oldies"
shows emanating from, or, more likely, receivable, on these trans-earth
outposts... 

:-) 

One other thought, quickly, something I've touched upon, before. 

The radio, and television, broadcasts, from years past, are still
travelling outward, amongst the stars. 

Shows from the '60s, are just now making their way, to some of our
closer stellar neighbors. 
Which means, as you're listening to some of these musical celebrations,
some civilization, some where, maybe out around Rigel, might well be
enjoying their first taste, of some of the very same music. 

...One aspect of the future, inevitably, catching up with the past that
might have been.

What hapened to that production of HAIR at the High

going on about now?

No one's said anything about it.

This whole Iran thing is really now beginning to form some "focus", "The Mother Of All Battles" of which this will be ( it will make Iraq look like a cartoon) has gone from the embryonic phase to baby steps & it already feels frightening just wait until we start "walking". We already have troops, tanks & planes in Iraq & Afghanistan on either side of Iran "in theatre" & they don't like it at all, all we have to do is add a more troops & turn the 'guns' around. The big difference is that unlike Iraq Iran will fight back with with power & might. Hells a poppin' folks, wake up America it's time to take to the streets.

Love forever

For those of you who are interested, you might want to head to over to
McHale's, today, at 46th and 8th...  The long-time haven for actors,
stage-hands, and other theatre folk is closing its doors, forever, at
midnight.

By the end of the month, several other Broadway joints on 45th, between
8th and Broadway, will also be gone, forever, if not for good...

I send this to my Free Press readers

                                 Al Pacino surveys the killing crime scene
in the beginning of Michael Mann's classic film, "HEAT",
                                     shouting to his investigating
lieutenants, "Whatta we got? Whatta we got?"

            WHAT WE'VE GOT is a bunch of scared, highly paid boobs posing as
media reporters and journalists not giving us vital information.....
                          information most people know nothing about because
it doesn't reach their narrow, NY Times media access.    
                                     Without wide open free media speech
describing all the criminalities against ALL the people, 
                                    we now have learned to scour the
internet for articles like this one by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS.   

                                           It's time for all good people to
understand the increasing erosions of  liberty for a few moments, 
                                                        come out of "hiding
heads in the sand" even if only for a painful few moments.

                                                             Best wishes,

Bush Has Crossed the Rubicon
by Paul Craig Roberts <mailto:paulcraigroberts@yahoo.com> 
by Paul Craig Roberts 

Dictatorships seldom appear full-fledged but emerge piecemeal. When Julius
Caesar crossed the Rubicon with one Roman legion he broke the tradition that
protected the civilian government from victorious generals and launched the
transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Fearing that
Caesar would become a king, the Senate assassinated him. From the civil wars
that followed, Caesar's grandnephew, Octavian, emerged as the first Roman
emperor, Caesar Augustus.
Two thousand years later in Germany, Adolf Hitler's rise to dictator from
his appointment as chancellor was rapid. Hitler used the Reichstag fire to
create an atmosphere of crisis. Both the judicial and legislative branches
of government collapsed, and Hitler's decrees became law. The Decree for the
Protection of People and State (Feb. 28, 1933) suspended guarantees of
personal liberty and permitted arrest and incarceration without trial. The
Enabling Act (March 23, 1933) transferred legislative power to Hitler,
permitting him to decree laws, laws moreover that "may deviate from the
Constitution."
The dictatorship of the Roman emperors was not based on an ideology. The
Nazis had an ideology of sorts, but Hitler's dictatorship was largely
personal and agenda-based. The dictatorship that emerged from the Bolshevik
Revolution was based in ideology. Lenin declared that the Communist Party's
dictatorship over the Russian people rests "directly on force, not limited
by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules." Stalin's
dictatorship over the Communist Party was based on coercion alone,
unrestrained by any limitations or inhibitions. 
In this first decade of the 21st century the United States regards itself as
a land of democracy and civil liberty but, in fact, is an incipient
dictatorship. Ideology plays only a limited role in the emerging
dictatorship. The demise of American democracy is largely the result of
historical developments.
Lincoln was the first American tyrant. Lincoln justified his tyranny in the
name of preserving the Union. His extra-legal, extra-constitutional methods
were tolerated in order to suppress Northern opposition to Lincoln's war
against the Southern secession. 
The first major lasting assault on the US Constitution's separation of
powers, which is the basis for our political system, came with the response
of the Roosevelt administration to the crisis of the Great Depression. The
New Deal resulted in Congress delegating its legislative powers to the
executive branch. Today when Congress passes a statute it is little more
than an authorization for an executive agency to make the law by writing the
regulations that implement it. 
Prior to the New Deal, legislation was tightly written to minimize any
executive branch interpretation. Only in this way can law be accountable to
the people. If the executive branch that enforces the law also writes the
law, "all legislative powers" are no longer vested in elected
representatives in Congress. The Constitution is violated, and the
separation of powers is breached. 
The principle that power delegated to Congress by the people cannot be
delegated by Congress to the executive branch is the mainstay of our
political system. Until President Roosevelt overturned this principle by
threatening to pack the Supreme Court, the executive branch had no role in
interpreting the law. As Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote: "That congress
cannot delegate legislative power to the president is a principle
universally recognized as vital to the integrity and maintenance of the
system of government ordained by the Constitution."
Despite seven decades of an imperial presidency that has risen from the New
Deal's breach of the separation of powers, Republican attorneys, who
constitute the membership of the quarter-century-old Federalist Society, the
candidate group for Republican nominees to federal judgeships, write tracts
about the Imperial Congress and the Imperial Judiciary that are briefs for
concentrating more power in the executive. Federalist Society members
pretend that Congress and the Judiciary have stolen all the power and run
away with it.
The Republican interest in strengthening executive power has its origin in
frustration from the constraints placed on Republican administrations by
Democratic congresses. The thrust to enlarge the President's powers predates
the Bush administration but is being furthered to a dangerous extent during
Bush's second term. The confirmation of Bush's nominee, Samuel Alito, a
member of the Federalist Society, to the Supreme Court will provide five
votes in favor of enlarged presidential powers. 
President Bush has used "signing statements" hundreds of times to vitiate
the meaning of statutes passed by Congress. In effect, Bush is vetoing the
bills he signs into law by asserting unilateral authority as
commander-in-chief to bypass or set aside the laws he signs. For example,
Bush has asserted that he has the power to ignore the McCain amendment
against torture, to ignore the law that requires a warrant to spy on
Americans, to ignore the prohibition against indefinite detention without
charges or trial, and to ignore the Geneva Conventions to which the US is
signatory. 
In effect, Bush is asserting the powers that accrued to Hitler in 1933. His
Federalist Society apologists and Department of Justice appointees claim
that President Bush has the same power to interpret the Constitution as the
Supreme Court. An Alito Court is likely to agree with this false claim.
This is the great issue that is before the country. But it is pushed into
the background by political battles over abortion and homosexual rights.
Many people fighting to strengthen the executive think they are fighting
against legitimizing sodomy and murder in the womb. They are unaware that
the real issue is that America is on the verge of elevating its president
above the law.
Bush Justice Department official and Berkeley law professor John Yoo argues
that no law can restrict the president in his role as commander-in-chief.
Thus, once the president is at war - even a vague open-ended "war on terror"
- Bush's Justice Department says the president is free to undertake any
action in pursuit of war, including the torture of children and indefinite
detention of American citizens. 
The commander-in-chief role is probably sufficiently elastic to expand to
any crisis, whether real or fabricated. Thus has the US arrived at the verge
of dictatorship.

<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/076152553X/lewrockwell/> This
development has little to do with Bush, who is unlikely to be aware that the
Constitution is experiencing its final rending on his watch. America's
descent into dictatorship is the result of historical developments and of
old political battles dating back to President Nixon being driven from
office by a Democratic Congress. 
 There is today no constitutional party. Both political parties, most
constitutional lawyers, and the bar associations are willing to set aside
the Constitution whenever it interferes with their agendas. Americans have
forgotten the prerequisites for freedom, and those pursuing power have
forgotten what it means when it falls into other hands. Americans are very
close to losing their constitutional system and civil liberties. It is
paradoxical that American democracy is the likely casualty of a "war on
terror" that is being justified in the name of the expansion of democracy.

Hello!

Once again I tried posting to the HAIR list only to have it bounce back. 
 Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can I trouble you again to post 
something for me?  This is in response to your blog, "In Search for an 
Answer".  Thanks.

XO
M

***

I agree with Michael B. that Hope is the answer.  To that I would add: 
Youth.

Last week, at a fundraiser for The Power of Hope (my new employer), when 
it came time for my few minutes at the podium, I could think of no 
better summary for my present thinking and direction than to quote a 
familiar line:

Where do I go?
Follow the children
Where do I go, follow their smiles.

Is there an answer
In their sweet faces
That tells me why I live and die?

Playing with my new grandson a lot lately I find those words resonate 
more powerfully for me now than they did in 1968.  In my grandson's 
smile and laughter and purity I find hope of the most basic kind - the 
trust that a little kid has in love.

Hope and Youth are therefore inseparable, and it's a chicken-and-egg 
thing.  I find nothing hopeful in this present generation of misfits 
manipulators and criminals.  Therefore I'm betting on Youth as the 
source of Hope and worthy of our best efforts.

Thank you Michael - peace to all,

WMH

:
The hippies were right all along about happiness
By Andrew Oswald
Published: January 18 2006 20:28 | Last updated: January 18 2006 20:28

Economy Politicians mistakenly believe that economic growth makes a nation
happier. ?Britain is today experiencing the longest period of sustained
economic growth since the year 1701 ? and we are ?determined to maintain
it,? began Gordon Brown, the chancellor of the exchequer, in his 2005
Budget speech. Western politicians think this way because they were taught
to do so. But today there is much statistical and laboratory ?evidence in
favour of a heresy: once a country has filled its larders there is no point
in that nation becoming richer.

The hippies, the Greens, the road protesters, the downshifters, the
slow-food movement ? all are having their quiet revenge. Routinely derided,
the ideas of these down-to-earth philosophers are being confirmed by new
statistical work by psychologists and economists.

First, surveys show that the indus?trialised nations have not become
happier over time. Random samples of UK citizens today report the same
degree of psychological well-being and satisfaction with their lives as did
their (poorer) parents and grandparents. In the US, happiness has fallen
over time. White American females are markedly less happy than were their
mothers. Second, using more formal measures of mental health, rates of
depression in countries such as the UK have increased. Third, measured
levels of stress at work have gone up. Fourth, suicide statistics paint a
picture that is often consistent with such patterns. In the US, even though
real income levels have risen six?fold, the per-capita ?suicide rate is
the same as in the year 1900. In the UK, more encouragingly, the suicide
rate has fallen in the last century, although among young men it is far
greater than decades ago. Fifth, global warming means that growth has
long-term consequences few could have imagined in their undergraduate
?tutorials.

None of these points is immune from counter-argument. But most commentators
who argue against such evidence appear to do so out of intellectual habit or
an unshakeable faith in conventional thinking.

Some of the world?s most innovative academics have come up with strong
evidence about why growth does not work. One reason is that humans are
creatures of comparison. Research last year showed that happiness levels
depend inversely on the earnings levels of a person?s neighbours.
Prosperity next door makes you dissatisfied. It is relative income that
matters: when everyone in a society gets wealthier, average well-being stays
the same.

A further reason is habituation. Experiences wear off. A joint intellectual
effort by psychologists and economists has got to the bottom of the way
human beings adapt to good and bad events. Some researchers believe that
after a pay rise people get used to greater income and eventually return to
their original happy or unhappy state. Such hedonic flexibility also works
downwards. Those who become disabled recover 80 per cent of their happiness
by three years after an accident. Yet economics textbooks still ignore
adaptation.

A final reason is that human beings are bad at forecasting what will make
them happy. In laboratory settings, people systematically choose the wrong
things for themselves.

Yet surely, it might be argued, what about power showers, televised
football, titanium wristwatches, car travel for all ? are these not
compelling evidence for the long arm of growth? Yes they are, but we need
these because Mr and Mrs Jones have them, not because they make an intrinsic
difference.

Economists? faith in the value of growth is diminishing. That is a good
thing and will slowly make its way into the minds of tomorrow?s
politicians. Led by the distinguished psychologist Edward Diener of the
University of Illinois, a practical intellectual manifesto signed by many of
the world?s researchers, entitled Guidelines for National Indicators of
Subjective Well-Being and Ill-Being, has just begun to circulate on the
internet. That document calls for national measures of ?separate facets of
well-being and ill-being, including moods and emotions, perceived mental and
physical health, satisfaction with particular activities and domains, and
the subjective ?experience of time allocation and ?pressure.

Happiness, not economic growth, ought to be the next and more sensible
target for the next and more sensible generation.

The writer is professor of economics at the University of Warwick. This
article is extracted from a lecture to be delivered today as part of the One
World Week summit at the university

CONCERT AND POW-WOW FEBRUARY 10 TO 19. 

All proceeds benefit Native American scholarship fund. 

WHEN AND WHERE:
February 10 to 19, 2006 
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm; Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm 

Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue (at Tenth Street). Presented
by Theater for the New City. 

$10 general admission to all evening shows, whose running time is 2:00.
MATINEES ARE KIDS' DAYS: At all 2:00 pm performances, children under
twelve accompanied by a ticket-bearing adult are admitted for $1.00
(adults $10). Running time 1:30. Box office/audience info (212)
254-1109. Online ticketing available at www.theaterforthenewcity.net 
DETAILS: 
????????????????Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers will hold their 31st annual Dance Concert and Pow Wow at
Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, from February 10 to 19. The
troupe's appearances benefit college funds for needy Native American
students. The company's Pow-Wows have been presented annually as a
two-week event by TNC since 1976, with the box office donated to these
funds. There will be dances, stories and traditional music from the
Iroquois and Native Peoples of the Northwest Coast, the Southwest, the
Plains, and the Arctic regions. Between 25 and 30 dancers will assemble
for the event. 
????????????????Highlights of this
year's celebration will include a Hoop Dance performed by Raymond Two
Feathers (Cherokee) and "Dancing Wolf" Michael Taylor (Choctaw/French).
For the fourth time, the Pow Wow will include a dance from the Inuit
people of Alaska, called The Caribou Dance. Highlights will also include
a Butterfly Dance (a Hopi custom which gives thanks for the beauty of
nature), a Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance (from the Northern Plains
people), a Fancy Dance and a Shawl Dance (from the Oklahoma tribes).
Featured performers will also include Joe Cross, a storyteller from the
Caddo Tribe (Oklahome), the Heyna Second Son Singers (various tribes)
and Mitoka Eagle (Santo Domingo/Pueblo). 
????????????????A new outreach component
has been added this year. After matinees, the cast will remain in the
lobby to personally meet the children attending and be photographed with
them. This component of the show was inspired by the troupe's school
residencies. Says Louis Mofsie, the Thunderbirds' artistic director,
"Educators try to suppliment the kids' knowledge of Native Americans and
to teach them about different cultures. But the emphasis is on how we
used to live, in the past tense. The kids are never taught how to relate
to us in the present. Now they can meet us, and be photographed with us,
and it's present tense. It's more than just seeing us on stage." He
adds, "Learning about different cultures is important to enlarging the
kids' perspective, particularly in light of what's going on in the
world. We're in trouble today because we don't understand different
cultures." 
????????????????A Pow-Wow is more than
just a spectator event: it is a joyous reunion for native peoples
nationwide and an opportunity for the non-Indian community to voyage
into the philosophy and beauty of Native culture. Traditionally a
gathering and sharing of events, Pow-Wows have come to include
spectacular dance competitions, exhibitions, and enjoyment of
traditional foods. 
????????????????Pageantry is an
important component of the event, and all participants are elaborately
dressed. Most dances are performed in the traditional Circle, which
represents a unity of peoples. There is a wealth of cultural information
encoded in the movements of each dance. More than ten distinct tribes
will be represented in the performance. 
????????????????In the final section of
the program, the audience is invited to join in the Round Dance, a
friendship dance. Throughout the performance, all elements are explained
in depth through detailed introductions by the troupe's Director and
Emcee Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago). An educator, Mofsie plays an
important part in the show by his ability to present a comprehensive
view of native culture. The TNC lobby becomes a gallery for Indian
crafts, bathed in the cooking aromas of Native American foods: corn
soup, venison, fry bread and wild rice. 
????????????????The Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers are the oldest resident Native American dance company in
New York. The troupe was founded in 1963 by a group of ten Native
American men and women, all New Yorkers, who were descended from Mohawk,
Hopi, Winnebago and Sanblas tribes. Some were in school at the time; all
were "first generation," meaning that their parents had been born on
reservations. They founded the troupe to keep alive the traditions,
songs and dances they had learned from their parents, and added to their
repertoire from other Native Americans living in New York and some who
were passing through. Within three or four years, they were traveling
throughout the continental U.S., expanding and sharing their repertoire
and gleaning new dances on the reservations. (A number of Thunderbird
members are winners of Fancy Dance contests held on reservations, where
the standard of competition is unmistakably high.) Members of the
Thunderbirds range in professions from teachers to hospital patient
advocates, tree surgeons and computer engineers. 
????????????????The Thunderbird-TNC
collaboration began in 1975, when Crystal Field directed a play called
"The Only Good Indian." For research, Ms. Field lived on a Hopi
reservation for three weeks. In preparation for the project, she met
Louis Mofsie, and they made plans for a Pow Wow to celebrate the Winter
Solstice. The event has continued annually to this day. 
????????????????The Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers Scholarship Fund receives no other source of income, and
has bestowed over 325 scholarships to-date.

  AUSTIN, Texas --- I'd like to make it clear to
the people   who run the Democratic Party that I will not support
Hillary Clinton  for president.

               Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and
equivocation.
    Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This
is not a   Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable
of taking a   clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to
disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to
mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible
little dodges.

               The recent death of Gene McCarthy reminded me of
a lesson I spent a long, long time unlearning, so now I have to
re-learn it. It's about political courage and heroes, and when a country is
desperate for leadership. There are times when regular politics will
not do, and  this is one of those times. There are times a country is so
tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief.

               If no one in conventional-wisdom politics has
the courage to speak up and say what needs to be said, then you go out
and find some obscure junior senator from Minnesota with the guts to
do it. In 1968, Gene McCarthy was the little boy who said out loud,
"Look, the emperor isn't wearing any clothes." Bobby Kennedy -- rough,
tough  Bobby Kennedy -- didn't do it. Just this quiet man trained
by Benedictines who liked to quote poetry.

               What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's
sake? The (SET ITAL) majority (END ITAL) of the American people (55
percent)  think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get
out. The (SET ITAL) majority (END ITAL) (65 percent) of the American
people  want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more
taxes to get it. The (SET ITAL) majority (END ITAL) (86 percent) of the
American  people favor raising the minimum wage. The (SET ITAL)
majority (END  ITAL) of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing
Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The (SET
ITAL)  majority (END ITAL) (66 percent) wants to reduce the
deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon
spending or  raising taxes.
                The (SET ITAL) majority (END ITAL) (77 percent)
thinks we should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment.
The (SET ITAL) majority (END ITAL) (87 percent) thinks big oil
companies are gouging consumers and would support a windfall profits tax.
That is the center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
          I listen to people like Rahm Emanuel superciliously
    explaining elementary politics to us clueless naifs outside
the  Beltway ("First, you have to win elections"). Can't you
even read the damn polls?
             Here's a prize example by someone named Barry
Casselman,who writes, "There is an invisible civil war in the
Democratic Party, and it is between those who are attempting to satisfy the
defeatist and pacifist left base of the party and those who are
attempting to  prepare the party for successful elections in 2006 and
2008."

               This supposedly pits Howard Dean, Harry Reid and
Nancy Pelosi, emboldened by "a string of bad new from the Middle
East ..  into calling for premature retreat from Iraq," versus those
pragmatic folk like Steny Hoyer, Rahm Emmanuel, Hillary Clinton, Joe
Biden and  Joe Lieberman.

               Oh come on, people -- get a grip on the concept
of  leadership. Look at this war -- from the lies that led us
into it, to the lies they continue to dump on us daily.
            You sit there in Washington so frightened of the
big, bad  Republican machine you have no idea what people are
thinking. I'm  telling you right now, Tom DeLay is going to lose in his
district. If  Democrats in Washington haven't got enough sense to OWN the
issue of  political reform, I give up on them entirely.
                Do it all, go long, go for public campaign
financing for Congress. I'm serious as a stroke about this -- that is the
only  reform that will work, and you know it, as well as everyone
else who's ever studied this. Do all the goo-goo stuff everybody has
made fun of all these years: embrace redistricting reform, electoral
reform, House rules changes, the whole package. Put up, or shut up. Own
this issue, or let Jack Abramoff politics continue to run your town.

               Bush, Cheney and Co. will continue to play the
patriotic bully card just as long as you let them. I've said it
before: War  brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went
around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were
"German dogs."
    They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.
The MINUTE  someone impugns your patriotism for opposing this war, turn
on them like a snarling dog and explain what loving your country
really means.
    That, or you could just piss on them elegantly, as Rep.
John Murtha  did. Or eviscerate them with wit (look up Mark Twain on the
war in the Philippines). Or point out the latest in the endless
"string of bad news."
                Do not sit there cowering and pretending the
only way to  win is as Republican-lite. If the Washington-based party
can't get up and fight, we'll find someone who can.

                                                      -30-

Attention all McNamaras :) 

"The End Of The World Show" the news is the ultimate realty show & it goes on 24 hours a day & it is unfolding before our eyes.The newly elected  Iranian President "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" (remember that name because you will be hearing it alot in the future & you will probably learn how to say it)  is a master terrorist & the new rock star on the world stage, he has more influence than Osama a million times over, pay attention gang this is getting serious.Dick Chaney calls him a m a madman. This whole Iran thing is really now beginning to form some "focus", "The Mother Of All Battles" of which this will be ( it will make Iraq look like a cartoon) has gone from the embryonic phase to baby steps & it already feels frightening just wait until we start "walking". We already have troops, tanks & planes in Iraq & Afghanistan on either side of Iran "in theatre" & they don't like it at all, all we have to do is add a more troops & turn the 'guns' around. The big difference is that unlike Iraq Iran will fight back with with power & might. Hells a poppin' folks, wake up America it's time to take to the streets. Please give  the attached article a "hard read" it will give you more insight.  I have also put a link below to one interesting article about the Israelis feelings because the new  president thinks they should be "wiped off the map", I will be sending more as we move on down the line, this is the "real deal" folks, time to pay attention.

I will love you all forever

There's method in the Mahdi madness of Iran's president


By Charles Moore

14/01/2006

http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/01/14/do1402.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2006/01/14/ixopinion.html <http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/01/14/do1402.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2006/01/14/ixopinion.html> 

Iran has "broken the seals". The phrase refers to the seals placed by UN nuclear inspectors on equipment that, unsealed, enables uranium enrichment, making possible the development of a nuclear bomb.

It has a suitably apocalyptic ring. In the Book of Revelation, the Lamb breaks the seven seals and earth-shattering violence ensues: ".the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men. hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains".

Our own not-quite-chief captain, Jack Straw, took refuge instead in a BBC studio. It is almost physically impossible to keep one's attention on the Foreign Secretary as he smothers meaning in his blanket of official phrases about IAEA governing bodies and Chapter Seven UN Resolutions and "prior stages" before anything like sanctions actually happens, but I did hear him yesterday venture the opinion that "in Iran things are difficult". You've got to give it to the man: he's right.

It is just a pity that Mr Straw recognises it only now. Ever since he became Foreign Secretary in 2001, Mr Straw - and British policy more generally - has been devoted to the idea that we can make friends with Iran.

Mr Straw went there five times on those expeditions that the Foreign Office loves as much as botanists love the search for rare seeds in the Karakoram - hunting for the "moderates". Our eggs were placed in the fragile basket of former President Khatami's "reformists" and were duly addled. In the presidential election last year, Britain decided that the winner would be another "moderate", Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Mr Rafsanjani is "moderate" only in the sense that Molotov was more moderate than Stalin or Goering than Hitler, but anyway, this man of Straw did not win. The victor was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the mayor of Teheran.

Since coming to power, Mr Ahmadinejad has organised an international conference designed to prove that the Holocaust never happened and has declared it the aim of Iranian policy to "wipe Israel off the map". Now he is fulfilling his country's long-planned strategy of making the means to do just that: he has broken the seals. Iran can have its own Bomb in four years or so.

Relentless media attention in the West has focused on the errors of the Coalition in Iraq, and plenty of errors there have been. But almost no scrutiny from press or Opposition has been given to the way that the supposedly intransigent George Bush has actually been so accommodating to European sensibilities that he has delegated the policy on Iran to Europe. This has produced the current disaster.

For years now, the "EU Three" - Britain, France and Germany - have been in charge, emboldened since 2005 by the personal support of Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state. They have wanted to believe that they were dealing with a power that was negotiating in good faith. They have spurred that power on to greater excesses by declaring that Western military action was (Mr Straw's word) "inconceivable". They have hoped against hope and against evidence. Only this week did they finally admit defeat. They agreed, which earlier they had refused, to try to take Iran's behaviour to the Security Council.

What is the West facing in the government of Iran? I read in yesterday's Times that President Ahmadinejad is a "na?ve extremist". It is an assumption of Western foreign policy elites that extremists are, by definition, na?ve, but is it so?

The point about Iran since 1979 is that it has been governed by revolutionaries; and the history of revolutionaries - successful ones, anyway - is that they are often mad and bad and incredibly skilful all at the same time.

Thus Hitler could genuinely believe in crazed racial theory and outmanoeuvre the chancelleries of Europe. Thus Chairman Mao could promote deranged, famine-inducing economics, while at the same time keeping a grip on power for a quarter of a century.

Westerners tend to see the Iranian revolution as "medieval", but this is a slander on the Middle Ages. "Twentieth century" would be the more accurate description. When Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran, he encouraged his lieutenants to be well versed in the history of revolutions, particularly the communist revolution in Russia.

If you look at Iranian "democracy" today, you will see that the only candidates allowed are those committed to the constitution's idea of the "guardianship of the clergy" (a rule which, at the last parliamentary election, permitted the Council of Guardians to disqualify 6,000 of the 7,000 who wanted to stand).

This is a religious version of the Leninist idea of the "leading role of the party". In 1979, Khomeini said that his revolution was the first step ''in correcting the past of Muslim history''. He meant radicalising Shiism to take over the Muslim world.

That's what Ahmadinejad means, too. Last September, he addressed the United Nations in a speech that called on God to hurry up and send along his "Promised One". This was a reference to the strong Shi'ite belief in a Mahdi, or Hidden Messenger, who will reappear in the world to rule it aright.

Recalling his own speech afterwards, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "One of our group told me that, when I started to say 'In the name of God, the almighty, the merciful', he saw a light around me and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change and, for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink."

By putting himself inside this aura, Mr Ahmadinejad may be at once sincere and cynical. He may truly think that God is bringing the Mahdi his way, but he will also know that by identifying with this strand of Shi'ism he can seem to be a Robin Hood for the poor against corruption. He may also be hinting, some experts believe, that, if the Hidden Messenger is coming, the increasingly unpopular clergy and their Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Khamenei) could be superseded by truly holy, non-clerical persons, eg himself and his Revolutionary Guard.

The Bomb, blessed by God, will make Iran proud. It will force the West to let Iran dictate terms in the region, give Mr Ahmadinejad the prestige to crush dissent in his own country and help him grab world Muslim leadership, taking over Iraq. Mad, perhaps, terrifying, certainly, but perfectly sane as a way of staying on top.

What can we do? There may be sanctions and other forms of isolation that would work. For instance, although full of crude oil, Iran is short of petrol and has to import a great deal from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Without that, it would be in trouble.

But the bigger question concerns the West's extraordinary indulgence (Mr Straw calls it "patience") towards the regime. Why don't we distinguish government from people and reach out to the latter? In the contest of the West with revolutionaries, we win in the end when we help their victims rise up against them, when the people themselves, not our tanks, take down the Berlin Wall.

Iran's recklessness

Message-ID: <27271-43D679B1-19796@storefull-3273.bay.webtv.net>


Some of you, in the area, might want to check out a few Broadway
"joints," that are shuttering, over the next few weeks... (A couple of
these, will be gone, after Sunday.) They've been a lynchpin of the
Broadway community for years, and a couple of the locales go back to the
HAIR days, and DECADES before....

Here's a short piece I wrote, that also woundup being paraphrased,
during a guest shot, last week, on WOR.... 

Jim Burns 


"When Runyon's Shadows, Shadow"
The Loss of a Few Great Broadway Joints 

Perhaps it was being at the sensational, record-breaking performance of
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, that has put me in a nostalgic mood, but I don't
think there's ever anything foolish about celebrating the past,
particularly if 
it has a pleasant foothold, on the future. 

Last week saw the closing of McHales, on 46th at 8th, a tavern famous
for food that was as plentiful, and good, as it was inexpensive--and a
haven for actors and stagehands. 

By the end of the month, we will have lost several other Broadway
institutions, to the vagaries of "redevelopment." 

Barrymore's on 45th, is the only place I can think of where actors are
still known to be-- consciously--partying at 3 AM, while doubling for
the rest of the day as a meeting place for the neigborhood's endless
stream of theatre folk, tourists, and "locals." 

The loss of that street's Frankie and Johnny's (part of which goes back
to Damon Runyon's speakeasy days), Sam's, and Puleo's, is no less sad,
for their patrons. 

Progress, generally, isn't supposed to mean the end of something that
already works. And I can't help but think that at some point in the
future, a theme park entrepeneur will decide to construct a "Broadway
block," of themed bars, and eateries. 

It's fascinating that for the not too many-remaining moments, such a
magic corridor, already exists. 

And secret labyrinths beneath our city's streets aside, I will miss
these oases, of the night.

Subject: [Mb-hair] "Why We Fight" --new film now playing
Message-ID: <E1F1dVQ-000495-6w@smtpauth04.mail.atl.earthlink.net>

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the 
acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or 
unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for 
the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
-- President Eisenhower, in his Farewell Address
Dear Mha Atma S:
Thirty five years ago this week, President Dwight D. Eisenhower 
made his famous Farewell Adress to the nation, in which he 
popularized the phrase "military-industrial complex." The 
following 35 years have shown us that Ike didn't know the half 
of it.
Including war spending in Iraq and Afghanistan and mandatory 
defense related spending, America's defense budget is over 
$750 billion. Our national priorities have been shaped in part by 
this spending. Yet many Americans remain ignorant of the 
costs of our defense establishment.
That's why director Eugene Jarecki wrote and filmed 'Why We 
Fight.' The documentary won the prestigious Grand Jury Prize 
at the Sundance Film Festival, and has been called "absorbing" 
by the New York Times. Entertainment Weekly's Owen 
Glieberman called it "nimble" and "brilliant," and said, "I defy 
anyone not to be staggered by it." 
The film is a look at our national military culture. It weaves 
unforgettable personal stories with commentary by a "who?s 
who" of military and beltway insiders. Featuring John McCain, 
Gore Vidal, William Kristol, Chalmers Johnson, Richard Perle 
and others, 'Why We Fight' launches a bipartisan inquiry into 
the rise of the American Empire. 
But 'Why We Fight' is not really focused on the Washington 
insiders we've come to expect. In the film, we meet Wilton 
Sekzer, a former NYPD Sergeant and Vietnam Veteran who 
lost his son on 9/11. We meet Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, who 
was at her desk in the Pentagon's Middle East Desk on that 
day. From stealth bomber pilots to the CEO of the company 
making the stealth bombers, from designers of the new 
generation of weapons, to those firing those weapons, to Iraqis 
who face the devastation those weapons cause, we see the 
effects of our $750 billion military budget. 
Perhaps most impressively, it manages to examine these 
issues without falling into the trap of polemics. Jarecki quietly, 
calmly and beautifully lays out the costs and the reasoning for 
war. Not just our current war, but all of the wars of the past half 
century. No US President in that period has managed to avoid 
sending troops to a shooting war zone. Jarecki simply asks, 
"Why?" 
'Why We Fight' is opening this week in New York and Los 
Angeles, and around the country starting February 10. And 
because we think 20/20 Vision supporters are bound to be 
interested in it, we've gotten the release schedule and posted it 
here: 
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=73799939
&url_num=2&url=http://www.2020vision.org/event/WhyWeFight
Sched.htm
I believe that this film is going to be one that is talked about for 
years to come. I was lucky enough to see a screening, and I 
personally consider it one of the finest films I've seen in the last 
year. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I urge you to make 
plans now to see this during its limited release, and to tell your 
friends and neighbors about it. I think you'll find yourself 
discussing it long after you've left the theater.
Ron Zucker, 20/20 Vision

During World War II, the U.S. government commissioned a series of 
propaganda films (some directed by Frank Capra) entitled 'Why We 
Fight.' Now, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki turns that premise on its head, 
using the same title to take an incisive, unflinching look at the 
convention of warfare. Using as his starting point Dwight D. 
Eisenhower's declaration that a responsible government "must guard 
against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or 
unsought, by the military-industrial complex," Jarecki charges that in 
the current political climate, the government's ambitions -- stated or 
otherwise -- in going to war are often starkly different from the best 
interests of its citizens. Why do we lack the sense of wartime purpose 
that previous generations proudly upheld? How large a role do political 
and corporate agendas play in influencing a U.S. call to arms? These 
questions and more are addressed in a powerful film that transcends 
polemical scapegoating, forcing us to confront a new brand of 
imperialism that cannot easily be justified or ignored.

It took me twelve hours to figure out, but the merger between the WB and
UPN television networks, is yet another conspiracy, from the far right.

The new network, is to be called "CW."

Which, of course, mnemonically, and phonetically, spells:


"See Dubya."


Bastards.

Old media

King content
Jan 19th 2006
>From The Economist print edition


Don't write off Hollywood and the big media groups just yet


?PAIN is temporary, film is forever.? That hopeful thought, which found its
way into the original script of Peter Jackson's recent re-make of ?King
Kong?, might be seized upon by today's beleaguered entertainment industry.
Media companies are suffering intense pain?and it is starting to seem
worryingly permanent. In America shares of ?old? media firms such as News
Corporation, Comcast and other giants of television, film, radio and print,
have fallen 25% behind the S&P 500 in the past two years, despite some
heroic financial results. Meanwhile, the market value of Google, which made
its debut on the stockmarket in 2004, is now equal to the combined worth of
Walt Disney, News Corporation and Viacom, three beasts of the old media
jungle. One investor, who recently moved two-thirds of his $1 billion fund
out of American media and into emerging-market companies, moans that ?the
market thinks something's going to get them, whether it's piracy, personal
video recorders, or Google.?

Desperate to rescue its share price, Viacom broke itself in two on January
3rd. Time Warner, the biggest media group of all, is under attack from Carl
Icahn, a corporate predator perfectly adapted to sniff out the weak and
vulnerable. The big groups have seen their newspapers and magazines lose
readers and advertising to the internet; their music businesses suffer
piracy and falling sales; and someone else's video games captivate new
generations of consumers. Now come fears about film and TV, the bedrock of
their business.

Hollywood took 7% less at the box office in 2005 than in 2004 and growth in
sales of DVDs has slowed. Internet video threatens the satellite and cable
systems of companies such as News Corporation and Time Warner. Dozens of
advertisers are shifting budgets from television to such places as the
internet and billboards. Brand-owners hate it that people are using digital
video recorders to avoid their pitches. And if media firms move on to the
internet themselves, they risk losing their films and television programmes
to pirates.

Moguls still

No wonder that on media island they are downcast. Yet, if Hollywood teaches
one thing, it is that stories can be re-made and dreams can come true.
Rather as big retailers, including Wal-Mart and Tesco, have discovered
advantages online, so too will big media companies.

True, the internet and digital devices will eventually break those
companies' grip on distribution. But they gain something else: a digital
world in which what you supply matters far more than how you supply it. In
satellite radio, for example, Sirius has crept up on XM Satellite Radio
thanks chiefly to its content, in the controversial form of Howard Stern.
And this world holds another promise, too: an abundance of virtually
costless ways to supply consumers with what they want to watch, whenever
they want it?things established media are ideally placed to provide.

The internet is still in the digital equivalent of the silent-film era. It
has been formidable for text, still images and music, but is only now, with
broadband access, entering an age of high-quality video. As it does so, Time
Warner, News Corporation, Disney and other media companies will be able to
cash in on their film and television archives. Selling video direct to
consumers, without distribution getting in the way, lets media firms, and
viewers, mine their vaults for old episodes of ?The Outer Limits?, Johnny
Carson, or whatever: minority tastes, to be sure, but taken together, a vast
new market.

Moreover, old media will command audiences for many years yet. New media
understand this: Google has just bought dMarc, which sells old-fashioned
radio advertising. Websites, such as BabyCenter.com and AlwaysOn, have
recently launched print-magazine versions of themselves, to capture
advertising that was out of their reach online. As the best remaining source
of a mass audience, TV and film are the best places to create and promote
the next ?Simpsons? or ?Narnia?.

Some people worry that new media companies may over time shunt old ones
aside as producers of content. Certainly, digital media will create new
stars and new businesses, but making high-quality video content will always
be a daunting and expensive task. Music or a blog can be composed from a
bedroom, but not an episode of ?Friends?. Just last month DreamWorks,
Hollywood's youngest studio, sold itself to Viacom, despite its strong
financial backing and the talent of Hollywood luminaries. It made some
money, but could not afford a billion-dollar investment in films year-in,
year-out. Yahoo! has a media unit, but so far it hasn't had any hits.
Responding to the news this week that Yahoo! intends to spend up to $10m on
a reality-TV concept called ?The Runner?, analysts complained that the
investment would damage its margins.

By contrast with Yahoo!'s dabbling, old media is now investing in digital
media in earnest. It all went terribly wrong before 2000 when bewitched
executives squandered money on the internet and Time Warner sold itself to
AOL in one of history's worst-ever deals. But now they are back. Rupert
Murdoch, chief executive of News Corporation, made a series of acquisitions
in 2005 (see article). Disney is supplying two hits, ?Desperate Housewives?
and ?Lost?, using Apple's iTunes download service. Last summer Viacom bought
Neopets.com, a virtual-pets site. Old media is well placed to steer its huge
offline audiences to its websites.

Helpfully on cue, piracy now seems less of a threat. The music industry now
has a healthy business in legal downloads. Operators of peer-to-peer
networks, such as eDonkey, are going straight. And Hollywood is realising
that it has no equivalent to a big musical weakness?that many albums consist
of a few decent tracks padded by dross.

Any media business has two products to sell: its content (to readers and
viewers); and its audience (to advertisers). The task for old media is first
to protect its advertising revenues by amassing audiences online and,
second, to offset their viewers' intolerance of mass-advertising by making
them pay more for content?which they are increasingly willing to do. It will
not be easy, but then saving the heroine never was.

  A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at 
  the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He 
  asked, "What are all those clocks?" 
  

  St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks.  Everyone on Earth 
  has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will 
  move." 
  

   "Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?" 
  "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating 
  that she never told a lie." 
  

   "Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. 
  Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands 
  have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire 
  life." 
  

  "Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man. 
  "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

All proceeds benefit Native American scholarship fund.

DETAILS: 
Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers will hold their 31st annual Dance Concert and Pow Wow at
Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, from February 10 to 19. The
troupe's appearances benefit college funds for needy Native American
students. The company's Pow-Wows have been presented annually as a
two-week event by TNC since 1976, with the box office donated to these
funds. There will be dances, stories and traditional music from the
Iroquois and Native Peoples of the Northwest Coast, the Southwest, the
Plains, and the Arctic regions. Between 25 and 30 dancers will assemble
for the event. 
Highlights of this
year's celebration will include a Hoop Dance performed by Raymond Two
Feathers (Cherokee) and "Dancing Wolf" Michael Taylor (Choctaw/French).
For the fourth time, the Pow Wow will include a dance from the Inuit
people of Alaska, called The Caribou Dance. Highlights will also include
a Butterfly Dance (a Hopi custom which gives thanks for the beauty of
nature), a Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance (from the Northern Plains
people), a Fancy Dance and a Shawl Dance (from the Oklahoma tribes).
Featured performers will also include Joe Cross, a storyteller from the
Caddo Tribe (Oklahome), the Heyna Second Son Singers (various tribes)
and Mitoka Eagle (Santo Domingo/Pueblo). 
A new outreach component
has been added this year. After matinees, the cast will remain in the
lobby to personally meet the children attending and be photographed with
them. This component of the show was inspired by the troupe's school
residencies. Says Louis Mofsie, the Thunderbirds' artistic director,
"Educators try to suppliment the kids' knowledge of Native Americans and
to teach them about different cultures. But the emphasis is on how we
used to live, in the past tense. The kids are never taught how to relate
to us in the present. Now they can meet us, and be photographed with us,
and it's present tense. It's more than just seeing us on stage." He
adds, "Learning about different cultures is important to enlarging the
kids' perspective, particularly in light of what's going on in the
world. We're in trouble today because we don't understand different
cultures." 
A Pow-Wow is more than
just a spectator event: it is a joyous reunion for native peoples
nationwide and an opportunity for the non-Indian community to voyage
into the philosophy and beauty of Native culture. Traditionally a
gathering and sharing of events, Pow-Wows have come to include
spectacular dance competitions, exhibitions, and enjoyment of
traditional foods. 
Pageantry is an
important component of the event, and all participants are elaborately
dressed. Most dances are performed in the traditional Circle, which
represents a unity of peoples. There is a wealth of cultural information
encoded in the movements of each dance. More than ten distinct tribes
will be represented in the performance. 
In the final section of
the program, the audience is invited to join in the Round Dance, a
friendship dance. Throughout the performance, all elements are explained
in depth through detailed introductions by the troupe's Director and
Emcee Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago). An educator, Mofsie plays an
important part in the show by his ability to present a comprehensive
view of native culture. The TNC lobby becomes a gallery for Indian
crafts, bathed in the cooking aromas of Native American foods: corn
soup, venison, fry bread and wild rice. 
The Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers are the oldest resident Native American dance company in
New York. The troupe was founded in 1963 by a group of ten Native
American men and women, all New Yorkers, who were descended from Mohawk,
Hopi, Winnebago and Sanblas tribes. Some were in school at the time; all
were "first generation," meaning that their parents had been born on
reservations. They founded the troupe to keep alive the traditions,
songs and dances they had learned from their parents, and added to their
repertoire from other Native Americans living in New York and some who
were passing through. Within three or four years, they were traveling
throughout the continental U.S., expanding and sharing their repertoire
and gleaning new dances on the reservations. (A number of Thunderbird
members are winners of Fancy Dance contests held on reservations, where
the standard of competition is unmistakably high.) Members of the
Thunderbirds range in professions from teachers to hospital patient
advocates, tree surgeons and computer engineers. 
The Thunderbird-TNC
collaboration began in 1975, when Crystal Field directed a play called
"The Only Good Indian." For research, Ms. Field lived on a Hopi
reservation for three weeks. In preparation for the project, she met
Louis Mofsie, and they made plans for a Pow Wow to celebrate the Winter
Solstice. The event has continued annually to this day. 
The Thunderbird American
Indian Dancers Scholarship Fund receives no other source of income, and
has bestowed over 325 scholarships to-date.

            Dear Sam Sheldon, 

            BHRT is Under Attack!

            ...and you will be too if your patients are denied the therapy that has restored their health, comfort and quality of life!


            Actually, this is no laughing matter! Wyeth Pharmaceuticals recently petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to impose harmful restrictions on the compounding and dispensing of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).  

            Wyeth asks for strategic restrictions that, if granted, would put an end to all pharmacy compounding.  In addition, Wyeth has unleashed an organized campaign to fuel support for its efforts.  Several Wyeth-affiliated, nationally known organizations have filed comments in support of Wyeth's petition.  Media coverage on BHRT has spiked.  

            This is yet another attack on pharmacy compounding!

            We need YOUR help to stop this attempt by pharmaceutical manufacturers to restrict access to compounding and BHRT!

                  THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP

                  1) File a comment asking FDA to deny Wyeth's flawed petition 
                  2) Help your doctors get educated and involved in this issue 
                  3) Get your patients involved. They already have the passion -   
                      give them the tools!

Op-Ed Columnist: Your Ticket to Mars
By JOHN TIERNEY
Think of your ticket to "Roving Mars" as a small down payment for an even better story -- really sending someone to joy ride on Mars.

THE SMALL TREE


I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse,
and after he had just finished a rough first day on
the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work,
his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck
refused to start.


 While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On
arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we
walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a
small tree, touching the tips of the branches with
both hands. 


When opening the door he underwent an amazing
transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles
and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife
a kiss. 


Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree
and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him
about what I had seen him do earlier. 


"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I
can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's
for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house
with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up
on the tree every night when I come home and ask God
to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them
up again." "Funny thing is," he smiled," when I come
out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly
as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

Hi folks:

Just wanted to put in another plug for my new play at
Theater for the New City which opens this Thursday.
Very proud of this piece of work, and how my director
has staged it-- and the great cast and production
team, etc.
The play, "Follies of Grandeur," is about the Ivar
Theater, which in the 70s, was one of the worlds
strangest burlesk palaces-- loosely phrased. 
Information on the Ivar can be seen at this website,
otherwise devoted to the music of Tom Waits, an
occasional Ivar patron: 
http://www.keeslau.com/TomWaitsSupplement/Topography/ivar.htm

Considering the joy given to me by casts and companies
of HAIR, I'd be very honored to return my portion of
wonder to you.

Ross MacLean

?Follies of Grandeur?at Theater for the New City 
Ressurects Ivar Theater, L.A.?s Infamous Burlesk House

NEW YORK, NY ? Hollywood?s Ivar Theater once featured
a round-the-clock show advertising ?The Most Beautiful
Girls in the World? at ?America?s Home of Burlesk.? 
Patrons recall the Ivar as ?a sticky-floored dump? and
?a chamber of desperation, a mausoleum for souls -- on
and off the runway.?   

Lewd and notorious in its day, the Ivar inspired
lyrics in the songs of Tom Waites, and photographer
Garry Winogrand?s images of the Ivar strippers have
been displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 


 ?Follies of Grandeur? follows the career path of
Melody, a teenage drifter who aspires to greatness on
the Ivar?s runway.
A dramatic memoir alternately cold and compassionate,
?Follies of Grandeur? by Ross MacLean makes its
premiere at Theater for the New City from February 2
to February 19, 2006, playing Thursday, Friday and
Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 3:00. 

Playwright Ross MacLean, a fixture of L.A.?s theater
scene in the early to late 70?s, worked with many L.A.
stages, including La Mama Hollywood, the Los Angeles
Actor?s Theater and the Deja Vu Coffeehouse and the
Odyssey.  A Manhattan resident since 1980, his later
works have been seen at Denver?s Changing Scene and in
the Humana Festival at Actor?s Theater of Louisville. 
?He was also the Ivar?s stage manager and spotlight
operator throughout 1977 and 1978.

Directing is Mark Finley, award-winning director of
Doric Wilson?s ?A Perfect Relationship,? as well as
?Eisenstein?s Monster? and the Fringe-festival hit
?Penny Pennyworth,? which had an extended run at the
Duplex.  He has also directed for the Abington
Theater, Emerging Artists and Native Aliens.  As a
playwright, his works have been produced at Where
Eagles Dare theater in New York and the Source in
Washington D.C.  Mark is the Artistic Director for
TOSOS II.

The cast features Daryl Brown, Melissa Center, Brian
Hoover, Kevin Kelleher, Jolie Meshbesher, Mary Louise
Mooney, Bobbi Owens, McGregor Wright, and Jennifer
Dominguez as Melody.  Set design by Michael Muccio, 
lights by Igor Goldin.
Presented by Theater for the New City, Crystal Field,
Executive Director, 155 First Avenue, New York City. 
Tickets available online at Theatermania.com, or
through the box office at 212 254-1109.

> To have known Arthur Upham Pope is one of the ennobling experiences of my
> life; I have not found in any other man so profound a devotion to beauty and
> truth; he was a very saint among scholars; he, more than all others, revealed
> Persia [Iran] to me and one of my dearest ambitions is to bring to a larger
> audience the amazing revelation that he has given the learned world of
> Persia's inexhaustible art.
> ????Asked to comment briefly on Persia in the History of Civilization, I have
> very reluctantly consented, for it is incredible that I should be able to
> reveal to so learned an audience any new aspect of Iran's fascinating culture
> and career. Listening to the patient and erudite exposition given by Mehdi
> Bahrami while he guided us through the collections in Iran's beautiful
> Archaeological Museum, I felt more deeply than before the antiquity of this
> culture, and its success in stamping its own exquisite quality upon every
> alien force that has entered this land.
> ????For thousands of years Persians have been creating beauty. Sixteen
> centuries before Christ there went from these regions or near it?from Aryana
> Vaieho, or Old Iran?the migration that poured new blood into northern India.
> From that new blood came the noble Sanskrit language, so nearly kin to your
> own melodious speech; from that fusion came the Vedas, the Upanishads, and
> Buddha. You have been here a kind of watershed of civilization, pouring your
> blood and thought and art and religion eastward and westward into the world.
> From the Avesta of your ancient faith came not only a hundred influences upon
> Judaism, Christianity, and Muhammadanism, but one of the highest moral
> philosophies of all time?the conception of life as struggle between light and
> dark-ness, truth and falsehood, good and evil, and the command to men to
> enlist in the fight for light, and help Ahura Mazda win that great battle
> whose cosmic scope and vast duration gave to the individual life a meaning, a
> value, and a nobility that could not be crushed by death.
> ????I need not rehearse for you again the achievements of your Achaemenid
> period. Then for the first time in known history an empire almost as extensive
> as the United States received an orderly government, a competence of
> administration, a web of swift communications, a security of movement by men
> and goods on majestic roads, equaled before our time only by the zenith of
> Imperial Rome. The decay of that Achaemenid Empire after Marathon and Salamis
> was a tragedy for civilization; and yet, when Alexander came, 150 years later,
> he was so impressed by the culture and courtesy of the Persians, the
> refinement and grace of then-lives, and not least by the beauty and modesty of
> their women, that he abandoned all notion of conquest, proposed a union of
> Greek and Persian blood and civilization, and set an example to his soldiers
> by marrying Persian wives. I should be happy if the narrow morals of my own
> rearing would permit me to follow his example.
> ????In some ways the Seleucid dynasty realized Alexander's dream of uniting
> Greek and Persian cultures into one complex civilization. The entry of Rome
> and its armies into Asia disturbed that fusion; and throughout the Parthian
> period Persia had to spend its forces, as now, on the preservation of its
> national independence against external pressure or aggression. The Sasanian
> kings almost recaptured the glory of Achaemenid days; once again there were
> great rulers, orderly government, artistic creation; every material, from the
> most delicate textiles to the strongest iron or bronze, received the impress
> of skillful workmanship and subtle design; and now took form many of the
> decorative motives that were to influence Byzantine orna-ment, and came to
> fullest flower in Persian Islam.
> ????The Arab Conquest disturbed the continuity of your cultural development.
> But hardly a century passed before the Abbasid revolution marked, or allowed,
> the victory of Persia over her conquerors; Persia did to the Arabs what Greece
> had done to Rome. The Shi'a faith rewrote the Muhammadan religion for the
> Persian people. Grammarians, lexicographers, historians, rose as if from the
> dead, and prepared the way for a literary renaissance. In the fourth century
> of your era ten large catalogues were required merely to list the books in the
> public library at Rayy; about 550 H. Merv had ten libraries, one of which
> contained 12,000 volumes. As early as the third century of the Muslim era you
> were producing great historians like al-Tabari; and 900 years ago a Persian
> scholar, Ibn Miskawayh, wrote what I am now trying to write in too brief a
> life?a universal history from the point of view of philosophy.
> ????About 197 H. Khwarazmi, a Persian of Khiva, introduced the Hindu numerals
> into Persia, whence they spread through Islam to the West to become our
> "Arabic" numerals. On the cars that I saw in Baghdad both sets of license
> numbers were Arabic, though few Iraqis or Europeans there realized it. The
> same Khwarazmi practically established the science of algebra, and gave it its
> name?al-jabr, integration, completion. He formulated the oldest known tables
> of trigonometry. By general consent of even European historians like George
> Sarton or David Smith, Khwarazmi was the greatest of mediaeval mathematicians.
> A still greater scientist, a savant of astounding range, was also born near
> Khiva, about 362 H.?Muhammad Biruni, the Leonardo and Leibnitz of Islam. He
> was a mathematician, an astronomer, a geographer, a linguist, an historian, a
> poet and a philosopher; and he did original work in all these fields. The
> princes of Khwarazm, Tabaristan, and Ghazni competed for the honor of
> sheltering him at their courts. You know the story of the traveler who told
> Mahmud that he had seen a land on which the sun never set for months at a
> time. Mahmud thought that the traveler was making fun of him, and ordered his
> execution; Biruni saved the traveler's life by explaining to Mahmud the
> midnight sun of the north polar regions in our summer, and of the south polar
> regions in our winter. Al-burins Tank al-Hind?Inquiry into India?is the
> greatest work of objective scholarship in all mediaeval literature. He took
> for granted the sphericity of the earth, measured with amazing accuracy the
> inclination of the ecliptic?the angle between the equator and the orbit of the
> sun's apparent motion around the earth. He expounded gravitation, and remarked
> that all known astronomical phenomena could be explained by supposing that the
> earth revolves daily on its axis, and annually around the sun.
> ????As Biruni was the greatest of mediaeval scientists, so Razi (born c, 220
> H.) was the greatest of mediaeval physicians. His picture hangs in the School
> of Medicine at the Uni-versity of Paris, along with that of Ibn Sina. Ibn
> Sina, whom Europe calls Avicenna, was, quite deserving it, more famous than
> Razi as a writer on medicine; but deserved his fame as the greatest of
> mediaeval philosophers. Born near Bukhara about 380 H., he lived at Khiva,
> Gurgan, Hamadan, and Isfahan. His Qanun of medicine, translated into Latin,
> displaced both Razi and Galen, and was used as a text in the universities of
> Montpellier and Louvain till our seventeenth century. The Astor Library in New
> York has a precious copy 300 years old; I was allowed to study it, but could
> hardly carry it from shelf to desk? a thousand double-columned pages as large
> as those of your great Qur'ans. Even vaster, running to eighteen volumes, was
> Ibn Sina's Kitab al-shifa?a one-man encyclopaedia of science, philosophy and
> theology?the greatest intellectual achievement in all mediaeval history. Here
> and in Aristotle were the sources of Averroes and Maimonides, and even of
> Christian scholastic philosophy. Roger Bacon considered Avicenna the greatest
> philosopher since Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas quoted him repeatedly, with
> respect equal to that which he gives to Plato.
> ????I know of no people in history?except possibly the Japanese?that has had
> so many poets as Persia. Harun al-Rashid's favorite poet was the scandalous
> Persian, Abu Nuwas. The ShahnNameh of Ferdowsi is one of the major works of
> the world's literature; and none of its rivals has ever been written, or
> illuminated, or bound, so beautifully as the magnificent Shahnamehs that are
> treasured in the museums and private collections of the world.
> I have spoken so far only of Persia before the Seljuq ascendancy. I say
> nothing of the graceful glory of Persepolis, its mighty architecture and
> massive reliefs; nothing of your rock-cut reliefs, from Darius I to Shapur II;
> nothing of the scant remains that Turkish, Mongol, and Tartar raids have left
> of your art in the Abbasid period; yet Muqaddasi and other travel-ers ranked
> the mosques of Nishapur and Turshiz with the Umayyad mosque of Damascus. To
> your Seljuq conquerors you did as you had done to the Arabs?you transformed
> them from warriors into artists. "Seljuq architecture," says Arthur Upham
> Pope, "is one of the classic manifestations of the human spirit."
> ????The Persian taste for graceful ornament united with the heroic mould of
> the Seljuq Turks to produce at Merv, and Hamadan, and Qazvin, and Isfahan an
> architectural flowering as remarkable as, and contemporary with, the Gothic
> efflorescence in France. In Persia and other lands of the Near and Middle East
> the elements of Gothic architecture in pillar and pointed arch, vault and
> dome, took definite form, and, in the Seljuq masterpieces, achieved perfection
> and unity. And in that Seljuq age ceramics became a major art; architecture
> became at times an appendage to pottery; and the tiles of Rayy and Kashan, the
> lustered decoration, faience, and glass of these and other Persian
> cities?Tabriz, Sultanabad, Damghan, Nisha-pur?brightened the face and walls of
> a hundred mosques and a thousand palaces. And on the walls, and under men's
> feet, were Persian rugs such as even Persia cannot make today. "All the
> paintings of the Italian Renaissance," said an American painter, John Singer
> Sargent, "are not worth one Persian rug."
> ????Your most famous poet belongs to the Seljuq age. Omar Khayyam, of course,
> was above all a scientist, whose quatrains were the casual amusement of one
> whose greatest pleasures were mathematics and astronomy; do not take too
> seriously his paeans to wine. His proposed reformation of the Persian calendar
> was more accurate than Europe's present Gregorian calendar; this errs by a day
> in 3,330 years, Omar's by a day in 3,770 years. I mourn that I shall not see
> his tomb in Nishapur, nor the artistic wealth of Mashhad; nor shall I see the
> little town near Tiflis where Nizami sang of Layla and Majnun; nor the shop in
> Nishapur where Attar sold perfumes. But I trust that I shall see Shiraz, and
> thank it for Sa'di and Hafez.
> ????The Mongols came upon all this glory and laid it waste; ruined the canals
> that watered your soil, and the libraries that nourished your souls; and you
> repaid them by turning them, too, into lovers and creators of art. Tabriz grew
> rich on the trade that flowed between the Mongol lands of the East and the
> cities on the Black Sea; probably along this route the Mongols brought from
> China the art of printing; Tabriz used the art to print paper money in A.D.
> 1294. I need not tell you of the great mosques that rose and fell at Tabriz;
> of the famous observatory at Maragha, near Tabriz, where Hulagu in 1259
> brought together the leading astronomers from the Chinese to the Islamic
> worlds, under the leadership of Nasir al-Din Tusi; of the brief magnificence
> of Uljaitu's Sultaniyeh, and the university city built just south of Tabriz by
> the great prime minister, Rashid al-Din, at the opening of the fourteenth
> century of the Christian era, "There is no greater service," wrote this
> vizier, rivaled in Islam only by Nizam al-Mulk, "than to encourage science and
> scholarship ... to make it possible for scholars to work in peace of mind
> without the harassments of poverty."
> ????In your great Archaeological Museum I saw some of the few surviving works
> of Rashid al-Din as historian, and mourned that no book of this century would
> ever be written or illustrated so beautifully. One could almost forgive the
> ravages of the Mongols for the art of illumination that prospered under their
> patronage. In those centuries, patient and subtle fingers made the loveliest
> books that the world has ever known. These men knew printing, but would not
> use it for their books; and the best printed books of today are to an
> illuminated masterpiece of the Mongol age in Persia and Transoxiana what a
> Ford car is to the Parthen-on. "Imagination," said a Persian poet, "cannot
> grasp the joy that reason draws from a fine-drawn line." I do not know which,
> in these great manuscripts, is fairer?the illumination or the text; only
> Chinese and Japanese can rival the Arabic script as works of calligraphic art.
> To my perhaps untutored taste the inscriptions that label the objects in your
> Archaeological Museum are among the loveliest things in these bright halls.
> ????But I must not continue this reckless leaping from peak to peak of your
> cultural history. Forgive me for talking so long. But I have learned to love
> your poetry, your art, your man-ners, your spirit; I wish the years might be
> given me to study your achievements more fully, and to do them justice in my
> history. But I shall do what no Christian author has ever done ?give to
> Islamic culture almost a third of all the space in my volume on mediaeval
> civilization. My Christian readers will marvel at the length of my survey of
> mediaeval Islam; and Muslim scholars will mourn its criminal brevity.
> ????Seldom has any society seen, in an equal period, so many illustrious
> figures in government, education, literature, philology, geography, history,
> mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, theology, and philosophy as in
> the four centuries of Islam between Harun al-Rashid and Averroes. In a sense
> this brilliant flowering was a recovery of the Near East from Greek
> domination; it reached back not only to the Persia of Darius but to the Judea
> of Solomon, the Assyria of Assurbanipal, the Babylonia of Hammurabi, the Akkad
> of Sargon, the Sumeria of unknown kings. So the continuity of history
> reasserts itself; despite earthquakes, epidemics, eruptive migrations, and
> catastrophic wars, the essential processes of civilization are not lost; some
> younger culture takes them up, snatches them from the conflagration, and
> carries them through imitation to creation, until fresh youth and spirit can
> join the fray.
> ????As men are members of one another, and citizens are parts of a united
> state, so civilizations are units in a larger whole that we may only call

> belongs to his country through affectionate prejudice, feels himself also a
> citizen of that boundless realm, the international of the Mind; he hardly
> deserves his name if he carries political or racial distinctions into his
> studies; and he accords his grateful homage to any people that has borne the
> torch and enriched his heritage. So I do to you.

If anyone has an email address for Annie Golden, I'd love to get in touch 
with her again. Annie did a production of my play, "The Sugar Bean Sisters"

If anyone does know how to contact Annie, please forward this email to her!

Thanks!

Howdy Podnuhs,

Apparently, I'm back.

Providing, that is, that you have even noticed I haven't been around lately, that is, ... well, sorry 'bout that, Kids.  Been on a walkabout of sorts, I reckon you can say (something ol' Tioga Joe is known to be prone to do).  I've even been kicked off the List a couple of times for having a mailbox so full that the HAIR List postings got bounced back to the sender once too often.

Well, you know, been busy and all that ****, saving the world and what not.

Anyway, apparently, I'm back on with you, the Cyber Tribe, so, I'll try to pitch in something worthwhile now and zen again (and forgive me for not replying to any queries I might have received during this hiatus -- I've got, like, a couple of month's worth of digest postings I received before getting the boot that I have yet to look at -- but plan to ... eventually -- all in good time).

So, at any rate, er, ... oh yeah!  Happy Groundhog's Day!!!!

--tioga

Hello Tribe!!!!!!!!!

Well we got a big plug tonight on American Ideal.
During the show they started to play our song HAIR for all the long hairs that were auditioning. I think they should use more of all of our songs. It was great to here Jim and Jerry and the cast singing on world wide TV. 
I have wanted to go to one of there auditions but I found out they don't take us older guys especially if we have been on Broadway back in the 1960's.

We should start an Older Folks American Ideal and give them a run for there voices. 

Well I will see of talk to all of you later.

Peace, Love, and Blessings to all of you. ~~Charles Preston~~

    The State of the Union
    By William Rivers Pitt
    t r u t h o u t | Perspective

    Tuesday 31 January 2006

    i knew that i was dying.
    something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become
    them, accept.
    then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
    bit.
    it needn't be much, just a spark.
    a spark can set a whole forest on
    fire.
    just a spark.
    save it.

    - Charles Bukowski

    "He shall from time to time," reads the Constitution, "give to the
Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their
consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." And
so it shall be. George W. Bush will be speaking tonight from the podium in
the House of Representatives. Before him will be arrayed Senators,
Representatives, generals and judges. The balconies will be filled with
observers, luminaries, reporters and a few so-called "special guests" whose
presence will be used to reinforce some argument or another.

    It shall be quite a thing to see, a show worth watching if only to
observe exactly how many lies, distortions, threats, taunts and smirks can
be crammed into a single speech. This will be Mr. Bush speaking, after all,
and the truth is not in him. It will be in every pertinent sense a mere
commercial, a television advertisement from a failing company, a
whitewashing of ugly truths by a staggering CEO whose sole desire is to keep
the stockholders in line for another quarter.

    In the interests of truth, the actual state of this union deserves to be
displayed for all to see. This is the deal. This is how it is.

    The Real Economy

    Since 2000, the number of Americans living in poverty has risen to
nearly 37 million. More than 13 million of these are children. More than one
in four American families with children make less than $30,000 a year. Look
within that number and you will find 46% of African American families with
children and 44% of Hispanic families with children fall below this mark.
Average annual income for Americans fell once again in 2005. 46 million
Americans live without health insurance.

    The response to this? Vice President Cheney, three days before
Christmas, cast the tie-breaking vote on a spending reduction bill that will
fall most heavily on the poor, the infirm and the elderly. Funding for
health care, child support, and education subsidies for low-income families
has been gutted. Medicaid benefits for the poor were cut by $7 billion, and
Medicare programs for the elderly were cut by $6.4 billion. Federal
student-loan programs were cut by $12.7 billion.

    On the very same day, the Senate passed legislation that drastically cut
funding for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and
Education. The Head Start program was hit especially hard: the cuts here
eliminate some 25,000 slots for low-income children. All in all, these
spending reductions are expected to save $40 billion.

    Meanwhile, recently-passed tax cuts ravage the budget far more deeply
than these drastic budget cuts. Two tax cuts in particular that went into
effect on New Year's Day will cost $27 billion, more than half of what the
spending reductions are supposed to save. These cuts will cost more than
$150 billion over the next ten years. 97% of the money from these cuts will
go to households making more than $200,000 a year. Households with incomes
under $100,000 will get 0.1% of these cuts.

    If all of Mr. Bush's tax cuts are stopped or allowed to expire, $750
billion will be added to the federal budget. That is more than enough to pay
for the programs that have been eviscerated. It won't happen, not with the
priorities of this administration, but that is the simple math of the
matter.

    New Orleans Drowned in a Bathtub

    The first weeks of September brought to all Americans a devastating
tragedy. The city of New Orleans was all but obliterated by Hurricane
Katrina when levees meant to hold back the waters failed. The failure of
these levees came, in no small part, because of unprecedented budget cuts
for the Army Corps of Engineers, which was tasked to keep the levees viable.

    The tragedy was compounded by the utterly incompetent management of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and its head, Michael Brown, whose
experience with disaster management came while he was serving as an attorney
for owners of Arabian horses. In the weeks to follow, lavish promises were
made by Mr. Bush. "We will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it
takes, to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives," he said
on September 15th.

    Those promises have been broken. We have gone from oaths to revive this
cherished city to this: "I want to remind people in that part of the world,
$85 billion is a lot," said Bush on January 26th. Hundreds of thousands of
Americans remain displaced, many holding on by the skin of their teeth in
cramped trailers. Thirty million cubic yards of debris remain uncollected -
the Washington Post estimated over the weekend that this was "enough to
build a five-sided column more than 50 stories tall over the Pentagon."
There is not even a plan in place to begin to attack the problem. The Bush
administration has left New Orleans to rot, and the next hurricane season is
four months away.

    Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist once famously stated that he wanted to
shrink the federal government to the size where it could be drowned in a
bathtub. As evidenced by the budget cuts and tax giveaways described above,
many within this government feel as Norquist does. Thanks to their actions,
to the cuts in the Army Corps of Engineers budget, to the nomination of
useless cronies like Brown to vital positions of civil defense, to a war in
Iraq that has bled the budget further and left Louisiana without sufficient
National Guard troops to help the population, it is New Orleans that has
been drowned in Norquist's bathtub. A major American city has been
shattered, and nothing is done about it.

    To add insult to injury, the Bush administration utterly refuses to
answer any questions on the matter. Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut,
perhaps the most widely-known Democratic defender of Mr. Bush, is the
ranking minority member on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee. Even Mr. Lieberman is flabbergasted by the stonewalling
of the White House.

    "My staff believes that DHS (the Department of Homeland Security) has
engaged in a conscious strategy of slow-walking our investigation in the
hope that we would run out of time to follow the investigation's natural
progression to where it leads," Lieberman said last week. "At this point, I
cannot disagree. There's been no assertion of executive privilege, just a
refusal to answer. I have been told by my staff that almost every question
our staff has asked federal agency witnesses regarding conversations with or
involvement of the White House has been met with a response that they could
not answer on direction of the White House."

    Mark Folse, a New Orleans native, operates a blog called "Wet Bank
Guide." On Monday, Mr. Folse posted a message for Mr. Bush. "I've never lost
the deepest allegiance I've ever held: to my city," wrote Folse. "We have
always known we were a people different and unique, as divided as we may
seem. That sense of identity as a New Orleanian is the powerful bond that
draws me on. It is the deep love of country that drives me - of my country,
New Orleans and southern Louisiana. It is the irrational emotional
attachment to my piece of America that leads men and women to go willingly
up Bunker Hill, to follow General Pickett, to volunteer for Iraq."

    "A life of assured privilege has protected you from having to take these
sorts of risks," continued Folse, "to find the strength to get up and go
into the maw of uncertainty, to risk and gamble your own and not other
peoples' lives or money. You can pledge allegiance or sing the anthem or
give a stirring speech as well as any, but you know you have no allegiance
except self-interest."

    "If nothing moves you except your own self-interest," concluded Folse,
"then consider this. There are hundreds of thousands of us, scattered
throughout most of the United States. We are everywhere you and your party
will go to campaign: Arkansas and Atlanta and Austin, Dallas and Detroit and
Denver, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Baltimore and Boston, Chicago and
Charlotte. Many will remain there indefinitely, unable to go home, precisely
because you have lied to them and betrayed them. We will not let you escape
from the net of lies you have woven. Wherever you turn, you will find us,
ready to call you out."

    The situation in New Orleans is a problem that will not go away. Men
like Mark Folse will make absolutely sure of that.

    "Scandal" Is Too Small a Word

    The Abramoff scandal directly touches some sixty Republican
congresspeople, according to campaign finance records that show where the
disgraced lobbyist sent his money. Mr. Bush recently promoted the lead
investigator in this case, effectively removing him from the investigation.
Despite this, the hard look into Mr. Abramoff's dealings continue. Mr.
Abramoff's plea deal has a lot of people in Washington suffering from
flop-sweat.

    Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the outing of a deep-cover CIA
agent by administration officials continues apace, and has already cashiered
Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby. According to t r u t h o u t
investigative reporter Jason Leopold, Fitzgerald has "spent the past month
preparing evidence he will present to a grand jury alleging that White House
Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove knowingly made false statements to FBI and
Justice Department investigators and lied under oath while he was being
questioned about his role in the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame's
identity more than two years ago, according to sources knowledgeable about
the probe."

    "Although there have not been rumblings regarding Fitzgerald's probe
into the Plame leak since he met with the grand jury hearing evidence in the
case more than a month ago," continued Leopold in his January 10th report,
"the sources said that Fitzgerald has been quietly building his case against
Rove and has been interviewing witnesses, in some cases for the second and
third time, who have provided him with information related to Rove's role in
the leak."

    None of this will be mentioned in the State of the Union speech tonight.
The Bush administration continues to stonewall these investigations with all
its might - Mr. Bush has denied ever knowing Jack Abramoff, despite the
existence of several pictures showing them glad-handing each other in the
White House - and the Republican-controlled congress will certainly do
nothing to advance the questions being asked.

    In contrast, a portion of the speech will certainly be dedicated to
moralistic sloganeering about values. Remember, as high-flown words about
truth and justice are spoken, what the Abramoff and Plame scandals
represent: a government run by thieves, stroked by swindlers, and staffed by
assassins who sing of defending the nation even as they cast us down into
greater danger.

    And, by the way, the Enron trial started on Monday.

    The Middle East

    2,242 American soldiers have died in Iraq. Tens of thousands more are
grievously wounded. Tens and tens of thousands of civilians are dead or
maimed. Scores more simmer in rage and pick up weapons to attack American
forces. American soldiers wishing to go around the Pentagon to augment their
meager armor have been threatened with the revocation of death benefits for
their families. A coalition of fundamentalist Shiite groups has taken over
the government, the two main parts of which are notorious terrorist
organizations with umbilical ties to Iran. Hundreds of billions of dollars
have been spent to do this. There is no end in sight.

    Three years ago, in another State of the Union address, Mr. Bush told
the nation that Iraq was in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000
liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons (which is 1,000,000 pounds) of sarin,
mustard and VX nerve agent, 30,000 munitions to deliver these agents, mobile
biological weapons labs, al Qaeda connections, and uranium from Niger for
use in a robust nuclear weapons program. Mr. Bush will have to work very
hard tonight to tell a lie as vast, dramatic and bloody as this.

    Certainly, Mr. Bush will sing the praises of bringing democracy to the
Middle East. It is worthwhile, however, to consider what his concept of
democracy has accomplished to date. Six months ago, a radical named Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad was elected president of Iran. Thanks to the intense feelings
within Iran's populace about the US occupation of Iraq, Ahmadinejad has been
able to unify his country behind the establishment of a nuclear program that
frightens the rest of the world. Ahmadinejad's election itself owes a great
deal to Mr. Bush's policies on Iraq.

    Last week, the terrorist organization Hamas was overwhelmingly elected
by the Palestinian people to run their government, leaving the Fatah party
shocked and displaced. While the success of Hamas has much to do with
Fatah's corruption and lack of progress on several fronts, the slow
radicalization of the general population in the Middle East once again can
be laid at the doorstep of Mr. Bush. It has been revealed that Bush's
decision to disengage from the peace process between Israel and Palestine
several years ago was a disastrous choice. Couple that with the occupation
of Iraq and the torture of its citizens, and few can be surprised when the
general population in the Middle East turns toward more radical elements.

    Democracy is a tricky thing. The fact that people in Iraq, Iran and
Palestine are afforded the opportunity to vote, instead of suffering the
absolute control of a dictatorship, is arguably a good thing in the main.
Yet methods matter. When the Iraqi people are given the vote by way of a
ravaging war that inflames the passions of the region and enshrines a
radical government, democracy becomes its own worst enemy. When that
ravaging war empowers a fringe president in Iran, democracy becomes its own
worst enemy.

    Methods matter. Democracy does not exist in a vacuum. When it is forced
upon a population at the point of a sword, that population will see the
sword as the best viable option to exercise its collective will. Almost
immediately, democracy will be used to elect radicals, and those radicals
will dispose of democracy at the first opportunity. The radicalization of
governments all across the Middle East has made the world substantially more
dangerous. Mr. Bush will speak of progress tonight. The only progress being
made is toward a general conflagration.

    On the other hand, Exxon Mobil has posted a $32 billion profit for the
last year. This stands as the largest single one-year profit in the entire
history of the world. Progress indeed.

    The Unitary Executive Tapping Your Phone

    Mr. Bush and friends have been jumping through flaming hoops to justify
the blatantly illegal policy of spying on Americans by way of the National
Security Agency. Their tortured arguments in favor of this action, and their
flat-footed declaration that the policy will continue, makes confetti of the
Fourth Amendment.

    More than that, however, it moves this nation one step closer to having
an Executive Branch that supersedes all others in power and scope. Not only
will Mr. Bush spy on whomever he pleases, but he will also torture whomever
he pleases. Put simply, the constitutionally-required separation of powers,
the checks and balances that have maintained the stability of this republic,
is being destroyed. This will echo down the corridors of our history long
after Mr. Bush has left his office.

    On Monday afternoon, Senate Democrats failed to muster the necessary 41
votes needed to avoid cloture on the nomination of Samuel Alito. The man
will be elevated to the highest court. Beyond the fact that Alito is hostile
to a woman's right to choose, hostile to privacy rights in the face of
unwarranted police intrusion, and hostile to the poor and disadvantaged,
there is the matter of his opinion on the powers of the Executive. In short,
he agrees with Mr. Bush.

    The Reign of Witches

    The state of this union is not good. We are poorer, frightened, faced
with the swelling ranks of enemies our leaders have created, and hell-bent
to do away with the most precious aspects of our system of government. We
are surveilled, propagandized, intimidated. We empower the radicals and
disenfranchise the common good. We are fed swill via the television and thus
convinced that what they tell us is what we already believe. We are bought,
and we are paid for.

    The radicals running this country have long desired to destroy the
government's ability to govern - they found things like taxes intrusive,
which is amusing when one hears them now defending warrantless spying on
Americans - and they are well along the path towards success. The budget is
destroyed, spent on tax cuts and the Iraq occupation, while millions of
Americans suffer the loss of necessary services. The one percent of the one
percent is making a killing, and the rest of us are left behind.

    If there is hope to be found in all this, it is in the words of Thomas
Jefferson, written 208 years ago after the passage of the Sedition Act.

    "A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over,
their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore
their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we
are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long
oppressions of enormous public debt. If the game runs sometimes against us
at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an
opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game
where principles are at stake."
