Ugh. I wonder how much Obama knows, really. He's only one guy, right? He can't know every little thing that every department of the government does. I'd hope to think it's the FBI. I recently watched part of the Gandhi movie…

When history tells us over, and over, and over, and over, and over again how this is going to play out, and we have woken up from naivety, we are left with the choices of following the road paved by our predecessors and giving into repeating history…

To clarify that last bit further, you can destroy an idea without killing its believers.

Initial raids were in Minneapolis, now antiwar.com reporting them nationwide:http://news.antiwar.com/2010/09/24/fbi-launching-mass-raids-of-antiwar-activists-homes/So, is Obama trying to appeal to the right, is the FBI doing this independently, thoughts?See More

I'd love to hear what you were doing in Korea and Central America....

I'm glad to hear you're healthy!!

I'm really grateful that I got to go on the Sabeel trip.....I kind of feel like I now know more specifically how little I know! We sat next to this Burundi guy on a bus at one point - he had been all over Africa - from the southern tip, all the way up and over to where we met him, in the W. Bank. He said, "You learn you don't know anything." Maybe I learned enough to have a million poorly formed questions - or maybe not quite a million. :)

Hope to see you at the open house!

Hi Loring! I just went on the Friends of Sabeel trip to Israel/Palestine with Cyndy Kulp - do you know her? I imagine you must....

How are you?

Hey Loring! Any chance you've gotten what I sent out about the anniversary of the invasion planning? If not, will you email me so I can send it to you? sgill@afsc.org. I would've sworn I had your email but I can find it. Anyway, I'd love it if someone picked it up for the Springs so we could call it a statewide action--we have folks in Boulder and Ft. Collins committed, and I'm hoping for a few more places, too. Hope all's well!

I just resent it - I sent it only to your gmail account before. I sent it to both this time. It's a forward now, and the subject line is "bonds of humanity". Thanks so much for looking it over. Let me know if it doesn't show up again. It should!

Hi Loring! Did you get my email?/What do you think? We're wanting to put it out there by the end of this month, so I'm attempting to gather last minute feedback.. Do you think it's something that your community in the Springs would find helpful, or maybe not really..?

Excellent point. Hopefully we're going to start seeing more interest in this area, but I'm not terribly worried. I'd just really like to see some growth, but it will happen in time.

That's so cool. I'm jealous of all you Coloradoans. You have this huge group of people to draw from AND you have incredible weather. :-) Our team is holding steady and actually doing things, so that's good. I can't complain!

You're welcome! Thanks for inviting us.

Loring, I'm looking at your background, and wondering if you would be willing to look over some text that I've been working on for a long time now - the idea came around the mark of this occupation of Iraq last year. Lesley and I have been working on it together - she's making some great art for it!! Anyway, can I send it to you without further explanation?

That's crazy! Her eyes are awesome. We have an Irish Wolfhound and she weighs about 140lbs. :-)
