Humans have raped her for her resources, and are now expanding out into the universe to do the same thing to other worlds: "if Grace is there with you - look in her memories.

[Associates For Biblical Research] Biblical Reflections on the Earthquake in Haiti: God has not stood back in the heavens in aloof indifference but has acted in history in the person of the God-man, Christ Jesus, to deal with evil, and will return in judgment to complete the full eradication of evil on the Last Day. God, in the great mystery of the incarnation, took on human flesh, and lived as a man amongst his very own creation in a fallen world.

[The Lifeline] Copenhagen reflections - Lucy's perspective » The Lifeline: There are many passionate educated activists from all walks of life who are pushing for change and are willing to get on their bikes and cycle across Denmark in Winter or travel with their own funds to march for Climate justice. Along the route we met many plucky well informed change makers willing to stand up and ask for real deal.

[Infoshop.org] An Anarchist FAQ - E.6 What is the population myth? | Infoshop.org: A mythic 'Humanity' is created -- irrespective of whether we are talking about oppressed minorities, women, Third World people, or people in the First World -- in which everyone is brought into complicity with powerful corporate elites in producing environmental dislocations. In this way, the social roots of ecological problems are shrewdly obscured .

By the standards of the original ST series, Picard and the rest of the high command of the Federation and Starfleet would have been tried, found guilty, and executed many times over, for crimes against sentient life, for their heartless, compassion-free, uber-strict deliberate mis-interpretation of the words of the Prime Directive as opposed to its spirit, to convince themselves that watching a race die without trying to save it, clandestinely, was better than messing with "the natural order".

It's taking tools of individual self-reflection and adding a collective dimension to them: I can see what others in my situation are doing, and can use this reference to motivate myself or others to do more, to do better, to do what we collectively agree is right.

[Reading Marx's Capital with David Harvey] Reading Marx's Capital with David Harvey » Blog Archive ...: It has long been the dream of many in the world, that an alternative to capitalist (ir)rationality can be defined and rationally arrived at through the mobilization of human passions in the collective search for a better life for all.  These alternatives – historically called socialism or communism - have, in various times and places been tried.  In former times, such as the 1930s, the vision of one or other of them operated as a beacon of hope.  But in recent times they have both lost their luster, been dismissed as wanting, not only because of the failure of historical experiments with communism to make good on their promises and the penchant for communist regimes to cover over their mistakes by repression, but also because of their supposedly flawed presuppositions concerning human nature and the potential perfectibility of the human personality and of human institutions.

[Opinionator» Olivia Judson] Reflections on an Oyster - Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com: Yes, evidence of us may exist for millions of years, but with rapidly diminishing returns.
