Hello out there, just a little feed-back from where I've been sitting
(as an inactive GP member) on where local Greens seem to be going or
not, and on the above message:
a question first: is it my imagaination or are local active Ottawa
Greens largely males employed in high tech?
(if this is true, it may not be bad, but limiting.....)
and on the above message: this philosophy has some resonance with me, it
speaks to my faith and belief in the necessity of positive thinking and
simply good will, as essential elements in psychic health and
sustainablility.....and odd though this may sound, and forgive me for
doubtless over-simplifying, perhaps the Green appeal to pure intelligent
logic to persuade others to adopt approaches more likely to result in
better physical sustainability for the planet, needs to be balanced out
with more old-fashoioned faith in the Divine, whatever that may
be,.....so it is possible that Greens and Natural Law advocates might
benefit from closer association with each other, not to mention also,
others involved in ecumenical or inter-faith eco-spirituality.
