Greetings,

give thanks Iyah and Seshatasefekht,

STER it is then! and yes, i&i agree that it is best to operate in our own backyards first (with one eye on the big picture) and then unite to finish babylon off....

Iyah, seen. Because of what i do for a living and my background (i am an urban and regional planner) i have a profound interest in the whole question of living lightly and in the subtle arts of opening peoples minds up to the realities of racism implicit in our system. Here in Oz the issue is not so much one of slavery (though that did go on) as one of wholesale disposession and cultural vandalism. To complete the link between these two issues, the folk most likely to know how to live lightly in this environment are the very same ones who are the most marginalised and dispossesed, the indigenous people.

To some extent, the ending of racism in this particular environment is a matter of survival. if we dont start listening soon we will have no trees, water, of fauna left.

But enough of my ranting...

So far we would seem to have identified education and living more simply as being objectives of the newly formed european militant wing of STER.

Any other suggestions, ways of practically doing this, or ideas. I would also be interested in knowing where people hail from so we can start to form the networks...

love and life
paul
