    I just came back from an event with the Dalai Lama about women and peace. One of the women speaking there was tycoon daughter Swanee Hunt, who spoke eloquently about - well, women waging peace. This is a society she formed:

  • Parenting… a Radical, Political Act & Synergy...

    Rated Sep 05 2 reviews activism, nutrition, parenting, environment, politics synergymag.ca

    From the page: "with each and every act that I perform in my role as â€oemother” and â€oehomemaker”, I am acting from a deeply political and deeply personal place.

    For each time I feed my children fresh fruits and vegetables that Iâ€ve grown myself, I am sticking it to the industrial agricultural complex. I am denouncing monocultures: the great fields of chemically-dependent wheat and soybeans and corn that pollute our water systems, destroy bio-diversity and concentrate land into fewer and fewer hands.

    Each time I cook a meal for my family, I am laughing at the fast food industryâ€s sordid attempts to lure my children to obesity and diabetes.

    Each time I grow and gather herbs to heal my family with, I am denying the legitimacy of the pharmaceutical companies. My family wonâ€t be peeing out anti-depressants that will eventually make their way back into our drinking water, the ocean and several species of fish. My children wonâ€t be one of the 10,000 deaths in Canada this year due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs."

    From the page: "Rewards go further than punishment in building human cooperation and benefiting the common good, according to research published this week in the journal Science by researchers at Harvard University and the Stockholm School of Economics. While previous studies have focused almost exclusively on punishment for promoting public cooperation, here rewards are shown to be much more successful."

    Eliminationism is a concept I first heard about yesterday. Here is an explanation of it:

    From the page: "What, really, is eliminationism?

    It's a fairly self-explanatory term: it describes a kind of politics and culture that shuns dialogue and the democratic exchange of ideas for the pursuit of outright elimination of the opposing side, either through complete suppression, exile and ejection, or extermination.

    I first encountered it in Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners, which is in many regards a problematic text, especially insofar as it describes prewar German society as almost uniquely predisposed to antisemitism. But Goldhagen's text correctly identifies and describes the essence of the Nazi campaign against the Jews as eliminationist in nature, something that was made undeniably manifest in the Holocaust.

    But while eliminationism's most startling historical example was provided by the Nazis, it also has a long and appalling history in the annals of American democracy. It was manifest in the genocidal wars against Native Americans, when "the only good Indian was a dead Indian": in the many anti-immigrant campaigns waged by Nativists of many different stripes; in night-riding Ku Klux Klansmen, Jim Crow segregation, and the lynch mobs who murdered thousands of innocent blacks during the heyday of white supremacism; in the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II; in the continuing march of hate crimes that target various kinds of "undesirable" members of society for terrorization and exclusion; and in the lingering far-right "militias" and related hate groups who scapegoat minorities and immigrants, gays and lesbians, government officials, and liberals generally, making them the targets of both hateful rhetoric and actual violence.

    Eliminationism in truth forms the really hateful, violent core of fascism, the facet that distinguishes the real item from its pseudo manifestations (though of course not all eliminationism is necessarily fascist). It glories in violence, in action over intellect, and always insists, of course, that it represents the true national identity."

    Rated Nov 20 2008 1 review activism, environment, financial planning, economy financialpermaculture.org

    Finanacial Permaculture removes our time, attention and money from investments in global corporations that destroy local culture and ecology for profit, and re-invests capital in local enterprises that put people and planet on their bottom line ledger.

    Financial Permaculture is the conscious whole system design of human financial systems to create a zero waste economy that cares for the earth, the people and distributes surplus of material, currency and knowledge in a fair and equitable manner.
