International Day of Non-Violence

2 October:  Is there a spot on the globe where human beings are not wreaking havoc on each other, the wonderful creatures sharing our world and the world itself.  We need to take control.  Stop fighting with each other in our daily lives, stop letting them drag us and our loved ones off to kill and be killed in wars that the powerful start for their own enrichment, and stop letting the Corporatocracy kill the land and those who depend on it for their survival, again, for their own power.  On this International Day of Non-Violence perhaps we can make our own personal promise to ourselves to let kindness guide our actions and not get pulled into any act that contravenes that promise.

Magi Cecilia - R.I.P. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran. Shame on...

R.I.P. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.





 Shame on Indonesian President,
shame on Australian Federal Police. Eight people were executed last
night in a country that had been on its way to abolishing capital
punishment under the previous administration. If President Widodo
wanted to piss us off, he's succeeded with me. The most important thing
to come out of this particular case for me is that there should be an
investigation of AFP actions and policies in relation to this case and
others like it and the axe should fall on those in the agency with the
responsibility for sending these men to their deaths.
