I hope you are all going to dress up:-) I had a very nice day yesterday. I went to a Cat Power concert in a small art gallery yesterday afternoon. There were about one hundred people present. Being an art gallery, the walls were white. A small stage had beeb erected, with a piano on it. There was a small column with candles on it to each side of the stage. The back wall was lit by plain white lights. When Cat Power faced the audience with her guitar she caught the light. When she turned to play the piano all we could see was a Cat Power silhouette. The gig was slightly awkward and very beautiful. I knew a small amount of her songs. There were some great cover versions - Wild Is The WInd, House Of The Rising Sun, Who Knows Where The Time Goes, and a wonderful All I Have To Do Is Dream/Blue Moon medley. After this, I went to a talk, reading, and book signing given by Karen Armstrong and Margaret Atwood. They are currently on the book tour launching a new series of books from Canongate. The idea is that well known myths are rewritten by modern authors. Karen Armstrong's book describes what myths are. Atwood has recast the Odyssey from the point of view of Penelope, wife of Odysseus, and called it the Penelopiad. The other book published is called Weight by Jeannette Winterson and is a retelling of the myth of Atlas (unfortunately she did not appear at this stop on the tour). It was well worth the small entrance price. If this tour comes to your city i highly recommend that you go along. Apparently there are already over seventy authors involved in this series which is planned to continue until 2038.

There is a definite neurophysiological cause for addiction. Once a person who has the genetics of an addict tries drugs or alcohol, regardless of the reason for using that first few times, they are hooked and even with periods of sobriety and treatment, they are not cured of their addiction. I wouldn't be too sure that it was an intentional overdose. There is no cure for addiction, and your niece was early in recovery. I would think her overdose was an accident rather than intentional.

About ten minutes ago, Rosa Parks passed by my office windo and I was able to look down and see her casket through the Hertz window. Behind her was a metro bus from the 1950's draped with a royal blue ribbon across the front. It was her family. In front of her were about a dozen policemen on motorcycles clearing the way. They were heading up 7th Street towards New York Avenue. I am thinking she was on the way to the airport to be flown to Detroit. Some of my coworkers were able to go outside to see the procession face to face. It was good enough for me to just see it through the window. I said, "Goodbye Rosa" as her body passed by. I am so happy to see her getting such a stately send-off. Even her death is a blessing to the young children who never knew about segregation or what Rosa Parks really means to everyone. I was so touched by all of the children being interviewed on TV last night who understood what Rosa really means to all mankind. Even in death, she is a blessing and I am very honored to have seen her pass by.

The drugs neccesary to take one's own life are not easy to come by. And I feel a human *should* have the option to end her or his own life if there's no way out.

If I were going to do myself in, I think I'd want to do it to cause the least amount of mess and worry for my family or whoever happened to find my carcass.

It made me very glad, so I thought I'd share it with you all: "In honor of Ms. Rosa Parks, one front seat on each UConn shuttle bus will remain empty on Wednesday November 2nd, for the entire day. The seats will be marked by a sheet of paper which reads: "In Memory of Ms. Rosa Parks....." We ask that all of our passengers honor this display by leaving the paper in place and the seat empty." Is that cool or *what*? I am so happy that her memory and spirit are being celebrated so hugely and by so many, all across the land. (Anyone feel a song coming on?)

(maybe a bullet would bury it once & for all???) yes - there are many, many, many, responsible and safe gun owners out there. people who would use them correctly, at the range, out hunting etc & never, ever harm anyone. unfortunately, there are others who wont. people who may lose their temper & pull a trigger, or be careless & pull a trigger, or even coldly & deliberately pull that trigger just to see what happens, or leave the gun in an unsafe place to be stolen & abused. just like a whole bunch of other things in life. booze, drugs, cars, marriage, children, power in the workplace, cigarettes, computers, all kinds of things. some folks can use them safely & responsibly - others cant. the problem comes in when the irresponsible ones inflict their irresponsibility on innocent others. do some responsible people give up their rights & privileges just because others abuse them. well - i dont really see any other way. we all observe a low speed limit because there are unroadworthy cars, or bad drivers out there. we have to fund a hugely expensive police force because of the criminals, we all pay insurance in case someone steals something. so our personal freedoms are retsricted for the greater good. an incredible amount of money and effort goes into protecting society from the actions of a few people. while giving up guns may be difficult for some, can we really let our personal pleasure & preferences be an excuse for someone else to have access to something which may harm another person (i was going to say an innocent, but i guess innocnce is actually irrelevant). but instead of seeing it like that people just polarize and see any criticism of, or support of guns as a personal attack and attack back. (which only kind of gives support to the proposition that guns should be done away with.) hiding behind a constitution is just plain a cop out. who cares whether the right is in the constitution or not?? we have minds of our own, & should it be there or not should be the debate. the only thing which i am not quite clear on is the self defence issue. we clearly do have a right to defend ourselves, but if our pursuit of that right is more harmful then what???? am i suggesting a joyless society where all pleasure is given up because it may just harm someone somewhere??. definitely not. i just think we should look at our priorities, and weigh up the benefits and the harm. cars are dangerous (cars dont kill people, people kill people??) but are necessary for everyday life - so we try to control the risk in other ways - speed limits, roadworthiness requirements, license tests etc. somewhere there has to be a balance - i dont know where or what. but i honestly do believe that the harm caused, and sorrow caused, by having a gun happy society far, far outweighs any good brought, or pleasure obtained. so, hell yeah, lets get rid of them all. the mozambican government has been on a huge push to locate and destroy weapons, which were left scattered all over their country during their civil war (ak 47s could be bought for around 2 us dollars!!). a country which was fairly recently immensely dangerous, is now becoming safe again. a few years ago no one would venture outside of the cities - today tourism is starting to boom & the economy is recovering. ron np - happy rhodes - 100 years ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 20:25:04 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Happy Hallowe'en Some complete foolishness from Screaming Jay Hawkins.

The MYTH that having a gun in your home increases your safety, when the REALITY is that the odds are that you'll be killed by your own gun, either by your own hand, as Mia pointed out, or by someone that knows you intimately. The MYTH that blacks are a threat to me when the REALITY is that the stats clearly bear out that crime is vastly white on white or black on black. One of my favorite lyrics, which I've quoted here on a couple of ocassions, is from "You've Got To Be Taught": You've got to be taught To hate and fear You've got to be taught From year to year It's got to be drummed In your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be taught To be afraid Of people whose eyes Are oddly made And people whose skin Is a different shade You've got to be carefully taught You've got to be taught Before it's too late Before you are 6 or 7 or 8 To hate all the people Your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught Fear always has been and has will be the biggest salesman. And believe it or not, I don't have a major issue with guns, several guys that I work out with are big-time hunters and target shooters. What I do have an issue with is this "keeping a loaded gun on my nightstand/in my jockey shorts/under my pillow to protect myself nonsense". Again, criminals, dumb though they may be, are much more likely to break in to your home when YOU'RE NOT THERE, and your beloved gun will be one of the first things to go.
