peace within chaos: March 2009
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 20, 2009. Well, it's been so long since I posted anything, I wonder if anyone's still paying attention. But the other day gave a couple priceless moments with Willow that I had to share. As we sat down for our third and final flight of the day Willow said to me, "there's no chance the same thing could happen in Sacramento that happened in Dulles is there? Dulles, what happened in Dulles? I asked. "Um, or was it Dublin? I love him so much. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I often have to stretch ...

peace within chaos: the free town (co-athored by kassia)
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2008/12/free-town-co-athored-by-kassia.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. The free town (co-athored by kassia). Most famous for are their bikes. They developed a kind of tricycle with the parallel wheels in front, supporting a large carrying container (pics below.). Christiania was the center of the european pot trade, with about $1 million passing through the community every day. The vibrancy of the arts, music, and performance culture is the focus for others. One way this has come up recently is in the struggles with the danish government. Th...

peace within chaos: community and economy, sustainability and justice
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2008/09/community-and-economy-sustainability.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. Community and economy, sustainability and justice. I wrote this to a newly forming group called the Charlottesville Relocalization Community. We need community. We need a powerful social network. We need relationships. We need each other. Effective organizing is usually based on strong relationships. If the relationships are solid then you can face whatever comes. More than that, we need to change our system of economics. We need an economic system that supports and encour...

peace within chaos: articulating the map
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2007/12/articulating-map.html
Sunday, December 9, 2007. Note: This is an email I wrote to some of my new friends at Tryon. It does a good job of articulating and illustrating my current vision of how to fullfill what I am currently understanding to be my purpose in life. It's a bit rough, and all the terminology might not be totally self-explanatory, but I think you'll get the essence of the ideas and the excitment. Enjoy! I was thinking about using Mountains, Hills, and Valleys). Anarchist HR collective(s) -. Services and trainings,...

peace within chaos: the call - co-authored by kassia arbabi
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2008/07/call.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2008. The call - co-authored by kassia arbabi. But what is the right direction for our actions? Disseminating and displaying is one thing; implementing is another. So who is responsible for carrying this out? What if everyone, for no other reason than being alive, was guaranteed basic rights to "food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security."? How would people live differently? Our political and economic systems are falling ever shorte...

peace within chaos: abortion, religion, and empire
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2009/01/abortion-religion-and-empire.html
Thursday, January 15, 2009. Abortion, religion, and empire. Over the last few months my mother and I have been having an email exchange on the topic of religion. I thought I'd share my last volley. Mother Theresa names various social ills. And names abortion as their cause. I agree that the problems she named are serious problems. I disagree that abortion, or the legalization of abortion caused them or has exacerbated them. Do you know of any data/studies that support her assertions? Mother Theresa says ...

peace within chaos: October 2008
http://peacewithinchaos.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. SWOMP (in Dutch) stands for Slimme Woonwagenbewoners Op Mooie Plekjes, which roughly translates to Smart Wagon-people on Beautiful Places. It's a unique and creative expression of the strong squatting movement in Amsterdam, using small trailer homes on vacant lots instead of occupying a flat or whole building. Generally, squatting in Europe happens on a level far beyond anywhere in the U.S. Why this level of tolerance, and even acceptance, in Europe? Thursday, October 9, 2008.
