About me:
The BlueGreenEarth / An Talmh Glas collective set up the BlueGreenEarth website 6 weeks before 9/11 to discuss social ecology, via anarchism and the left. In late 2005 we set up a new website for the European Social Ecology Institute (founded 1992).
Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thikers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.
Empire or Humanity?
What the Classroom Didn't Teach Me about the American Empire
by Howard Zinn
"Religion has no place in schools, as facts have no place in religion" -
Inspector Gary Chalmers, The Simpsons
"And by anarchist spirit I mean that deeply human sentiment, which aims at
the good of all, freedom and justice for all, solidarity and love among
the people; which is not an exclusive characteristic only of self-declared
anarchists, but inspires all people who have a generous heart and an open
mind..." - Errico Malatesta
"Anarchism in its most mature form in the United States, has demanded freedom, not for one individual or one group, but for each and every individual. - Eunice Minette Schuster
"Mankind will not be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest" - Voltaire
"It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense." - Robert Green Ingersoll.
"One fundamental goal of any well-crafted indoctrination program is to direct attention elsewhere, away from effective power, its roots, and the disguises it assumes."
- Chomsky, Deterring Democracy, 1992
"Just as the earth itself forms the indispensable ground for the only kind of life we know, providing the sole sustenance of our minds and bodies, so does empirical truth constitute the foundation of higher truths."
- Ed Abbey
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem."
- Howard Zinn
"The Earth is not dying. It is being killed and the people killing it have names and addresses."
- folksinger Utah Phillips
"If the complexity of our economies is impossible to sustain, our best hope is to start to dismantle them before they collapse."
- George Monbiot
"Is it not already too late if one waits until one is thirsty to begin digging a well?
-Chinese Proverb
"Representative government has broken down. Our politicians represent
not the people who vote for them but the commercial interests who
finance their election campaigns. We have the best politicians that
money can buy."
- Ed Abbey
"The meaningless absurdity of life is the only incontestable knowledge
accessible to man."
- Leo Tolstoy
"It's always going to be difficult to come up with sustainable ways to support our unsustainable lifestyle."
- Charles Whyman, UCal Riverside
"It is a simple thing, this Golden Rule, and all that is required. Political economy and the survival of the fittest can go hang if they say otherwise. What is not good enough for you is not good enough for other men [sic], and there's no more to be said."
- Jack London, People of the Abyss
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his
government."
- Ed Abbey
"Fascism is capitalism plus murder."
- Upton Sinclair
"How could I look my grandchildren in the eye and say I knew about this and did nothing?"
- Sir David Attenborough, 2006
"As individual fingers we can easily be broken, but all together we make a mighty fist."
- Sitting Bull
"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."
- Ed Abbey
"God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed."
- Luis Buñuel
You scored as Atheist, Infidel, Skeptic, Humanist. [HOORAY!] Your beliefs are that of an atheist. It's not a religion as many people seem to think. It's simply the lack of the belief in god and the lack of a religon. Richard Dawkins pointed out that "We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." Being a skeptic about things lacking evidence is a rational way of life. Being an infidel ussually means you're anti-Christianity and/or anti-Islam. Humanism is atheism with philosophy. Humanists are scientists, environmentalists, strive for peace and being a moral person.
Hilarious or heart-breaking? Humanist or anti-humanist? Whatever you decide, a classic nonetheless

Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thinkers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.
You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul.
Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.
You scored as Green. The Green Party believes in an America where decisions are made by the people and not by a few giant corporations. Their environmental goal is a sustainable world where nature and human society co-exist in harmony.
You scored as Realism. Epistemological realism is a metaphysical position maintaining knowledge of an object independent of mind. Realists tend to be skeptics about the full implications of many ideas.
You scored as Epicurean. Epicureanism is named for Epicurus, its founder. While its ends are similar, Epicureanism differs from Stoicism in its methods and its beliefs in the afterlife. Epicureans believe the soul (if it even exists) dies with the body and that no afterlife exists; therefore, one's life on earth if of the utmost importance.
Enjoyed your profile.......keep up the nice work!! I appreciate the new connection with you. I look forward to interacting with you! You have my support and welcome to my world of art and writing!
Also , Please enjoy my latest my blog....and thank you for being a valued friend of mine (=....
We do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..

I am hoping that you can give me some input on an article I just wrote about oil prices for my blog on StockValues.Org
Here is a brief summary:
When I last wrote about oil on Saturday, Dec 20, 2008, I was lucky enough to precisely pick the bottom of the West Texas Intermediate. (According to DOE data, Texas light sweet crude hit its daily five year low of $30.28 the following Tuesday.) Back then, an ounce of gold would buy you 21.3 barrels of oil, over 25% more than the 25 year average of 16.8 barrels. Currently, we are at 13.5 barrels of oil per ounce, which is almost 20% less than average. Given the deflationary economic environment and newly overheated stock market, I would rather bet on oil taking a tumble than gold prices catching up. Especially because other commodity prices confirm this line of thinking.
Anthony Marr will be telling more fascinating tiger tales, and discussing how to save life on Earth, this coming Friday on Animal Voices.

When I was in Africa a couple of decades ago, I camped for a stretch in the territory of a lion pride comprising 3 males, 10 females and 22 cubs.
The 3 pride-males, named Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector (AAH), were about 6 years of age and very much in their prime. Their 22 cubs were thriving under their protection - protection against predators,
and the coalition of four 4-year-old prideless bachelors, who had been loitering in the neighborhood.
Due to the superior fighting prowess of AAH, they had been kicking the butts of the Gang of Four (GOF), so far. If the GOF drove out or killed AAH, they would kill all their cubs so that the lionesses would have cubs bearing their genes. AAH would be able to repel GOF for another couple of years, which was a fairly stable long term scenario in lion terms. What was unforeseen was that a trophy hunter killed Achilles.
Now with only Agamemnon and Hector holding the fort, they were no match for the GOF. Valiantly, AH tried to defend their offspring, but it was a matter of fighting to the last cub before they both were killed. The 10 lionesses became the spoils of war. And so, a new leonine dynasty was born. But through it all, 25 lives were lost, all due to one single bullet fired by one egomaniacal trophy hunter. Shame on Safari Club International! And shame on you Mr. President, for support hunting.
Dolphin brains are larger than ours (1600 CC vs1450 CC). Who are we to say what they can or cannot think? Anthony Marr's latest creation: [Conversation with a Dolphin], was the jewel of last Friday's Animal Voices talkshow.
will be Anthony Marr's guests on Animal Voices this Friday, when we will be charting a course for humanity.

Which of the following 3 alternatives would you wish for these fawns?
If you prefer the 3rd alternative, please join the Anti-Hunting-Alliance (AHA) currently being forged by Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE - www.HOPE-CARE.org), which initially will seek to accomplish the following:
1. Support local campaigns against the culling and bow-hunting of deer in urban, suburban and park environments.
2. Integrate the local deer-battles into a national Deer War.
3. Launch massive internet and media campaigns on local and national levels.
4. Launch federal-level class-action legal challenges against the state-level Hunter Harassment laws for violating the freedom of speech and property rights of non-hunters and anti-hunters as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (listen to the Jan Haagensen interview by Anthony Marr on Animal Voices in www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr).
There will be a higher aim with the success of some or all of the above objectives: To terminate Recreational Hunting and Trophy Hunting, period.
Please contact Anthony Marr via MS messaging or email (Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org) and let's roll!
Autumn has always been loved. But lately, sadly, I've heard cries of "They've made me hate the fall!", due to the annual bloodbath of deer. To sooth your frazzled nerves, let me share with you [Nocturnal Meditation: a gift of peace] - music by Chopin (Nocturne in E-flat) and Massenet (Meditation, performed by Anne Sophie Mutter); photography by Anthony Marr. If you have already seen/heard it, be enchanted all over again, and pass it on.
Descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, a hunter addressed me as "Dear Rush Limbaugh of Animal Rights". Haha! No thanks. But if Limbaugh can do it on his medieval mindset, so can I on my futuristic one. This coming Friday, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, on Animal Voices, I will just bare my soul, open my heart, and speak my mind. And you are invited to do likewise. Just call 1- 604- 684- 7561, and speak your mind.
Anthony will be interviewed by Tracy Zuber Friday on Animal Voices - on the plight of the tiger and his tiger conservation work in America and Asia.
