Seeking volunteer to co-facilitate a short OS in Seattle for Earth Charter

[Susan Partnow]

Hello dear OS community...
I am working on the Earth Charter Citizen Summit -- for the Seattle site,
Saturday September 29.   This is a wonderful cause and important event:
help make it happen!  It is more important than ever, given the events of
9-11.

Much of the day is structured with down linked videos from the national
program -- and section on discussions of the charter itself:  but then we
have a chunk of time for citizens to talk about how to make the charter come
alive and how to take action to bring it into their lives and community --
and we want to do that part in OS style...  I will be here on the 29th but
cannot help set the room on Friday Sept 28 (I am going to be out of town for
the next week)  -- we'll need to figure out the space and the grid with
time/space etc. as well as refine the focusing question.  I am hoping
someone will step forward to help with this... I will be totally available
to help out on Saturday and will be happy to take a back seat or lead at
that point...

Please contact me -- and Kat Gjovik, the event prime organizer (I am helping
with design and facilitation and outreach).  Thanks!

Check out the website for more info on the event (this is happening in 12
cities across the country -- though I doubt others are trying to use OS)

dear friends,
as well we have to look to the way of making news, cutting them,
enlarging them,
because news are an product.
in the german tv 1 there was shown president bush saying
"..... in the old western there was a poster >wanted, dead or alive<
....."
and we got shocked understanding that he mentioned
to practice old western style of hunting men.
later we listened to the radio: a german reporter asked his american
partner
about that and was told about the situation:
the president had been asked from a reporter:
"mr. president, do you want bin laden dead or alive ?"
the president answered:
"well, in the old western there was a poster >wanted, dead or alive<,
but we want to bring him to justice"
i think that is an important difference, as i understood.
(perhaps my quoting has lingual mistakes, but i think the sense is
correct)
