Consumer culture is out of control and is killing the planet. Once we shopped for what we needed, but now that we’re in need of little we shop: - to impress each other - to fill a void - to kill time - because we’re bored (with ourselves?) BUY NOTHING DAY is a simple idea with deep implications. We force ourselves to think about the effect of the "shop-till-you-drop" imperative on the rest of the world. On BUY NOTHING DAY we enjoy a break from the shopping frenzy, while relishing and flexing the muscles of our power as consumers to change the economic environment. http://www.adbusters.org/ ___________________________________________________ “Shit happens because you’re too libertine” - Apollonarianism. ‘Shit happens because you’re in ‘chains’’ - Dionysianism. “‘Shit happens because your not in chains and wannabe’ modern bondage cult. ///////////////////// YOU187 HIPPY ACID POEM ON TOILET PAPER “Thanks for amazing update, Fraser, on the Dope's War! See 'Exo-Psychology' and its update version 'Info-Psychology' for best rundown on Tim Leary's 10,000 year plan of the 10 trillion celled human.” Michael Shields And for Leary’s take on drug doubters dubbleclik: http://www.erowid.org/culture/characters/leary/leary_doubters.shtml (terence mckenna’s take on DMT is also worth recalling: it was his opinion that, since this drug came on instantly and totally cleared the body within a half hour, anyone professing an interest in the psychic/spiritual realm who refused to ‘experiment’ could really not be considered a serious researcher.) =============== loved the title! and much of what u say is true, 'specially about expert/specialists’ disease! and you put it eloquently as well. and you make a credible case for the demise of those demi-god “experts”, hope so! Yes, sounds like cosmic winds a-blowin’ from your pen and scattering the cotton on old black joe's farm, who picked it up and sang the true blues while MaryJane rocks in de chair! And further seeding it with new meme sperm because what u r talking about is birthing of the Very New Age, a multiple-level birthing process going on right now, here on Earth and in our galaxy, of co-operation and creation - as the old crumbles finally down! Also like historical notes on Mr Nice guy an’ friends. Real history emerges, and the tale is told and retold! It’s killer Stuff!” <james hamilton> ________________________________________ “We know why Shit happens” - classical Science. ///////////////////// YOU 188 San Francisco SAT NOV 11 A beautiful day of Latin Jazz, food and drink! 1-7pm @ Backflip, 601 Eddy, San Francisco.

Better would be to ask him to refer the whole dispute to the International Court of Justice. .
