From what I saw on dkos, it seems pretty exciting.<BR/><BR/>Once again, thanks for sending me that link.XicanoPwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058956642832068827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065791.post-1157219188536667562006-09-02T11:46:00.000-06:002006-09-02T11:46:00.000-06:00Nanette: I don't believe he coined it, but the slo...Nanette: I don't believe he coined it, but the slogan <I>think global, act local</I> would be an apt characterization. I first ran across his name in the Earth First! Journal, and some of the deep ecology & politico-anarcho- types. While he can at times be a bit didactic & rigid for my taste (fer example, I don't see the spiritual/mystical in such necessary opposition as he does), he inspired so many different people & 'social impulses' that understanding his position(s) is a worthwhile exercise,e ven when one doesn't wind up in total agreement. Suppose that's true of any Thinker.<BR/><BR/>I don't know that he or anyone else has come up with a clear strategy to counter being co-opted. If ya's wantz ta be a playa . . .<BR/><BR/>Did ya get a chance to listen to the talk I linked to?<BR/><BR/>Heyas XP!

Some people will do the entire walk; most will join us for individual days somewhere along the route—with the biggest crowd, we hope, leaving from Shelburne Farms on Monday morning at 9 AM to march together into downtown Burlington and gather in the early afternoon for an address from our political candidates at City Hall Park. In each town we visit we'll hold a Conversation on the Green with music, speakers, and with chances to take action. Before we're done we hope to incite our state and federal candidates to commit to taking real action. [snip]<BR/><BR/>And why are we leaving from Frost's cabin? In the hopes of finding strength from Vermont's Yankee heritage, which addressed problems forthrightly and figured out how to solve them." <A HREF="http://vtwalc.org/invite.php" REL="nofollow">link</A> <BR/><BR/>more <A HREF="http://gr2006/08/30/mckibben/index.html" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/><BR/>There's also a great <A HREF="http://thenexthurrah.typepad.com/the_next_hurrah/2006/08/global_warming_.html" REL="nofollow">interview</A> with march organizer Bill McKibbon by Meteor Blades.Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060173224625105511noreply@blogger.com
