The only thing that convicted me was that I am a Mexican and that he was a police officer. People hollered for my life, and they are to have my life tonight. &quot;The people never hollered for the life of the policeman that killed a 13-year-old boy who was handcuffed in the back seat of a police car. The people never hollered for the life of a Houston police officer who beat up and drowned Jose Campo Torres and threw his body in the river. You call that equal justice. This is your equal justice. This is America&#39;s equal justice. &quot;A Mexican&#39;s life is worth nothing. When a policeman kills someone he gets a suspended sentence. When a Mexican kills a police officer this is what you get. From there you call me a cold-blooded murderer. I didn&#39;t tie anyone to a stretcher. I didn&#39;t pump poison into anybody&#39;s veins from behind a locked door [ ... ] I hope God will be as merciful to society as he has been to me. I&#39;m ready, Warden.&quot;]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:26:05 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:14199</guid></item><item><title>www.BrazilianArtists.net, the A-Z of Brazilian Arts, Entertainme...</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/14348</link><description><![CDATA[Cool artistic flags.]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:40:31 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:14348</guid></item><item><title>Ivorian scandal reveals world's hidden toxic trade | Top News | ...</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/14350</link><description><![CDATA[One the things that has to change in this world.]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:39:27 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:14350</guid></item><item><title>BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Lost city 'could rewrite history'</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/16224</link><description><![CDATA[This changes the whole view of history!]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Wed, 11 Oct 2006 12:59:19 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:16224</guid></item><item><title>/ welcome to / thcnet dot net /</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/16343</link><description><![CDATA[OK, here&#39;s something that&#39;s been bugging me for a few weeks. What, exactly, is the difference between a Grave Robber and an Archaeologist? Is it simply the age of the grave? How is it worse that some random corpse was briefly dug up to retrieve the diamond ring on its finger, than a man like Howard Carter dragging tons of loot out of king Tutankhamen&#39;s tomb? As I understand it, the basic prohibition is vaguely religious, in that you&#39;re supposed to leave the dead to their rest or some such. But then you read stuff like the following in wikipedia: &quot;Grave robbing is the bane of art historians and archaeologists; countless precious grave sites and tombs have been robbed before scholars were able to examine them.&quot; ...which implies that the only thing separating the &quot;good&quot; plunderers from the &quot;bad&quot; ones is that the Good Guys waited long enough for the contents of the grave to have been historically significant! Kind of odd, particularly since it is very likely that it was the families of the dead egyptian kings themselves that had the tombs professionally emptied, primarily because it otherwise would be a HUGE chunk of the &quot;family fortune&quot; going literally into a hole in the ground. Personally, I don&#39;t understand the weirdness with corpse veneration anyway.]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2006 09:31:19 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:16343</guid></item><item><title>Violence against children widely accepted: U.N. study - Yahoo!

As many as 139 countries voted in favor of the resolution while 24 abstained. The United States, the world&#39;s largest supplier of small arms, was the only country that opposed the resolution. Other major arms-manufacturing nations that oppose the treaty but did not participate in the voting include Russia, China, India and Pakistan. The vote came after three years of complex diplomatic negotiations and a worldwide campaign by civil society groups that involved more than one million people in 170 countries.]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:11:07 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:24293</guid></item><item><title>Treehugger: Polycrystalline Silicon Shortage Extended: Bad News ...</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/29148</link><description><![CDATA[How they will prevent the change to solar.]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Tue, 21 Nov 2006 08:06:27 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:29148</guid></item><item><title>YouTube - Iraqi Kid Runs For Water - Mozilla Firefox</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/30676</link><description><![CDATA[Horrible]]></description><category>The World</category><author>floweringmind</author><pubDate>Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:52:23 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:30676</guid></item><item><title>Christian Coalition president-elect quits over lack of focus on ...</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/floweringmind/marks/30834</link><description><![CDATA[Joel Hunter preaches to Northland Community Church parishioners via a live video feed in Longwood, Fla. Hunter said poverty and the environment &quot;are issues Jesus would want us to care about.&quot; Enlarge By Phelan M. Ebenhack, AP Joel Hunter preaches to Northland Community Church parishioners via a live video feed in Longwood, Fla. Hunter said poverty and the environment &quot;are issues Jesus would want us to care about.&quot; ORLANDO (AP) — The president-elect of the Christian Coalition of America has declined the job, saying the organization wouldn&#39;t let him expand its agenda beyond opposing abortion and gay marriage. The Rev. Joel Hunter, who was scheduled to take over the socially conservative group in January from Roberta Combs, said he had hoped to focus on issues such as poverty and the environment. &quot;These are issues that Jesus would want us to care about,&quot; said Hunter, a senior pastor at Northland Church in Longwood, Fla. Hunter announced his decision not to take the job during an organization board meeting Nov. 21. A statement issued by the group said Hunter left because of &quot;differences in philosophy and vision.&quot; Hunter said he was not asked to leave. &quot;They pretty much said, &#39;These issues are fine, but they&#39;re not our issues, that&#39;s not our base,&quot;&#39; Hunter said. His resignation is the latest setback for the once-powerful group. The Christian Coalition, founded in 1989 by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, became one of the nation&#39;s most powerful conservative groups during the 1990s, but it has faced complaints in recent years about its finances, leadership and plans to veer into non-traditional policy areas. The group claims more than 2 million members. Copyright 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Her closing lecture to the Soil Association conference (you can hear the podcast <A HREF="http://www.soilassociation.org/conference">here</A> was electrifying, passionate and sobering. Entitled ‘Taking the Oil Out of Agriculture’ she argued that sustainable agriculture and <EM>“working for a living, working with the land, working with the soil, could actually be the most evolved status of being human, not something that should disappear in history and will be put into a dustbin. That’s our common future, everywhere”.</EM> We are hoping to be able to include a talk by Vandana in the next Transition Town Totnes programme.
