Well Shel I haven't been to Auckland for many years and don't eat take out much but John and I are planning to go on a camping trip all over N.Z. in the future and I will be happy to give them my patronage. Most N.Zealanders would not be offended by the billboard 'coz there very much like Canadians. The Prime Minister refused to send troops to Iraq 'coz she refused to send the sons and daughters of her country to war based on lies.

Hey did you have a look at that lucianne website Shel?? I think we need to go get some push up bras and put on some T-shirts that say REAL Hippies DON'T smell!! Wadaya say!! On their home page is a link to a story and message board about Cindy Sheehan. Boy I would never talk about someone, who had lost their child in War, like that even if I didn't agree with their politics.

Found this on the internet. Not sure which topic to put it under so I'll post it in this one:

September 1st!

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post thing like this... Just let me know
and I won't do it again...

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES AND
CANADA DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT
THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.
THEREFORE SEPTEMBER 1st HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP
THEIR BEHIND " DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THESE TWO NATIONS SHOULD NOT
BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS
MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.
WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN
PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT
AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING
COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON
EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING
MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE
DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Careful: George wouldn't approve, Cheryl. It would hurt his family and friends; they'd lose some money.

If we could get everybody to do the same thing for one day (and I don't mean not buying gas), we wouldn't be at wer in Iraq today. It could become a movement...

I found a coupla neat hippie links online:

The "Belief System Selector" http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/
uses a scant twenty questions to come up with a probablility percentage of what spiritual belief system you do, or don't, fit into. I came up "Neo-Pagan" (100%) followed by a tie between Secular Humanism & Unitarian Universalist (93%). Interestingly, Islam & the RCC tied with a 21% probability. I wouldn't use it as a tool to determine one's spiritual path, but it's an interesting generalized comparison of belief systems and, in my case, was a "tell me something I don't already know" thingy. Have fun & don't take the selector (or yourself) too seriously!

Well, I'm a full cup of Unitarian Universalism, a scant cup of Liberal Quaker followed by a pinch each of Buddism, Humanism and Neo-Paganism.

My Dylan song is "The Times They are A Changin'" Underneath it says I am Revolutionary, Rebelliuos, and Proud.

Who me?

Louise, I am in with you on "The times they are a Changing". I come out a secular humanist with Unitarian undercurrents (which I was) and then a pinch of this and that. Sure wish I understood all of this. I need to read more!

I'm "Tangled Up In Blue", too. One of my favorite Dylan tunes to listen to and play, to boot! My favorite line from it is the last: "We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view... tangled up in blue"

Tangled up in blue here too. I did figure out from the religion thingie that I am a Pastafarian .
