<div><font face=Arial>My longtime/sometime girlfriend, Hope, has moved to
Lubbock to pursue her PHD, abandoning the wilderness. I am running for a
spot on
the board of directors of our food coop in Silver City and enjoying the
social
activities which surround this institution, including (yes) some women I had
not
met before, all quite young (30's and 40's) and interesting from a
distance.</font></div>

<div><font face=Arial>Also bemoaning New Orleans, a city I once visited
twice
monthly for 5 years and grew to admire. I recently redid the words to
"Goin' to
New Orleans" by Prof Longhair into a lament for the lost culture of
that special
musical place (for an appearance at our annual cabaret night. "If you
see the
Zulu Queen, tell her I have a place for her to stay..."</font></div>

not
he's really not (hot). But he can deliver a good speech once in awhile. I
hope
we have some better choice than he or HC, establishment squares of the
highest
order who will not support anything the resembles genuine change and who
refuse
to oppose the war. Who knows what all will transpire between now and 2008???
More natural disasters??? Implosion of the economy??? Rabid inflation??? A
total
collapse of the Bush regime??? Class awareness leading to social
rebellion??? It would appear that any or all of the above is/are
possible/inevitable. </font></div>

Gore: When there is No Vision, the People Perish<br>by Bob
Burnett<br>CommonDreams.org<br>Sunday, September 11,
2005<br><br>Friday
morning, when they arrived at the opening plenary session of the
<br>first-ever Sierra Club convention held at San Francisco's
Moscone
Center, <br>several thousand activists got a surprise. Instead of an
address by <br>Executive Director, Carl Pope, they heard a rousing
speech from former Vice <br>President, Al Gore<br><br>Gore's theme
was
based upon the quote from Proverbs, "When there is no
<br>vision, the
people perish." He dwelt at length on the catastrophe of
<br>Hurricane
Katrina observing, "It is important that we learn the right
<br>lessons
from what happened, or else we will repeat the mistakes that were
<br>made."<br><br>Gore identified three basic lessons that the
American
people must grasp: the <br>first is deceptively simple - Presidents
should be expected to pay <br>attention. The former Vice President
recalled that on August 6, 2001, <br>President Bush received an
intelligence briefing, "Bin Laden determined to <br>strike in
U.S.," but
took no action as, "it was vacation time."<br><br>Four
years later, the
Bush Administration received dire warnings of the <br>damage that
would
be done to New Orleans, and the Gulf Coast, if Hurricane <br>Katrina
kept to its projected course; nothing was done, "It was, once
again,
<br>vacation time."<br><br>The second lesson, according to
Gore,
involves presidential accountability. <br>"There has been no
accountability for horrible misjudgment and outright <br>falsehood -
leading to the tragedy of Iraq." The former VP argued that this
<br>has
produced an atmosphere, in the White Hou se, where "there is no
fear of
<br>accountability" for the Federal missteps surrounding
Hurricane
Katrina.<br><br>Gore opined that the management philosophy of the
Bush
Administration has <br>been dictated by conservative lobbyist,
Grover
Nordquist, who famously <br>boasted, "my goal is to get
government down
to the size where we can drown <br>it in a bathtub." Gore
indicated
that, as a result, the President <br>deliberately shrunk the size of
FEMA, rendering it "weak and helpless."<br><br>The former
Vice
President's third lesson is that Presidents ought to heed
<br>warnings.
The Bush Administration ignored distress signals about Al Qaeda
<br>and
the frailty of the New Orleans' levees, and continues to disregard
<br>warnings about global warming.<br><br>"The average
hurricane will
get stronger because of global warming, he said, <br>noting a
scientific
study, recently reported in "Nature" magazine, that
<br>concluded,
"Since 1970, the average hurricane has been 50 percent strong
er,"
<br>specifically because the oceans have grown warmer.<br><br>Gore
passionately compared present-day America to Great Britain on the
eve
<br>of World War II. He recalled the words that Winston Churchill
spoke
after <br>Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's infamous 1938
appeasement
of Hitler,<br><br>"They are decided to be undecided, resolved
to be
irresolute, adamant for <br>drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful
to
be impotent -<br><br>This is only the beginning of the reckoning.
This
is only the first sip, the <br>first foretaste of a bitter cup which
will be proffered to us year by year <br>unless by a supreme
recovery of
moral health and martial vigour, we arise <br>again and take our
stand
for freedom as in the olden time."<br><br>Noting the chilling
similarities between the crisis-management style of Bush <br>and
Chamberlain, the former VP declared that it is time that Americans,
<br>"recover our moral health and demand
accountability."<br><br>Gore
concluded his speec h by observing that the US is at "a moral
moment -
<br>This is not about scientific debate or political dialogue, but
about
who we <br>are.<br><br>The former Vice President remembered that,
after
the end of the civil war, <br>Abraham Lincoln remarked, "As the
problems
are new, we must disenthrall <br>ourselves from the
past."<br><br>Gore
implored his audience to help America be similarly disenthralled,
"to
<br>shed our illusions that have led us to ignore the consequences
of
the global <br>warming that has already begun."<br><br>And the
crowd
went wild.<br><br>I don't know why the geographic state of the
United
States<br><br>was mysteriously steered away from its lawfully
elected
leader.<br><br>If there is purpose here,<br><br>It is a mysterious
purpose indeed.<br><br>Perhaps that purpose is beginning to reveal
itself.
