Scots census awarded to Abu Ghraib torturers
04-08-2008 17:34
The Scottish government has awarded the next census contract to CACI, a corporation responsible for torture in Iraq. This corporation is not only being sued by Iraqi survivors, but was even condemned by the official US army investigation. This gestapo-like corporation will soon be legally demanding the personal details of all Scots, so one more reason not to fill in the census.Report Back From the Green Spirituality “ Friend or Foe” Workshop Monday 4th Aug
04-08-2008 16:30
Chris Philpott gave a little talk about how Green Spirituality can be a friend of the Climate Change Movement. He explored the commonality of spiritual teachings that pointed to the spiritual causes of Climate Change. He said that one cause was the drive of greed and materialism fuelled by consumerism, as this was shown as a danger and distraction to spiritual progress in the Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Bahai, Islamic, Hindu, and other spiritual traditions. Another spiritual cause of climate change was identified as how we have lost our connection with nature, which was illustrated in the teachings of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Shamanism, Paganism and other spiritual traditions. A further spiritual cause of climate change was pointed out to be our collective bad karma which was explained in the teachings of Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism and other spiritual traditions. Finally he pointed out that a spiritual cause of climate change was our loss of balance in our lives which was emphasised in the teachings of Islam, Taoism, Hinduism, and other spiritual traditions.Full article | 1 addition | 4 comments
