The Lloyd House Wednesday Night Salon WEEKLY 
(See at the end of this email for introductory material)


SECTION ONE: TABLE NOTES 


Around the table:  Adrienne, Viddle, Julia, Mira, Vlasta, Byron 
At the Table: Adriene Cooper, Viddle, Mira Rodwan, Byron Moody, Vlasta Molak, Sophia Yarden, Julia Yarden, Ms. Anonymous, Joe McMillain, Charles Griffen, Ken Stern

 Mira:  William McDonough spoke at Xavier Monday night.  Sustainability.  So hopeful!  Amazing projects all around the world.  
Now he is working on a project to house refugees from war or natural disaster... 
Monsanto and the genetically modified food crops are not the way to go.  

Vlasta: I've been following him for 20 years.  ... his claims for the building at Oberlin are exagerated and untrue.  I went with open mind to his talk.  But the moment he walked in I thought, "Oh-oh!"  Had on a bow tie.  Ego maniac.  He put down every other environmental person... he is the only one who is valid, according to him.  
Said there should be no toxic chemicals in any products, but then said our water is also toxic in sufficient dosage and duration.  So he was not logical.
Said there is no population problem; there are not too many people.  He should go to any city in India!  He is out of touch with reality.  
He was full of himself.
Julia asked him whether he liked his dinner.  He never answered.  She had sold the vegetables 

Regulations are a sign of design failure.
He brags about working for WalMart, the Chinese government.  Proctor and Gamble.  

Adrienne and Mira: have you noticed that there are more acorns this year than ever before? 

Julia:  i saw cathy wilson's "Your Negro Tour guide"...  she got from Harriet Tubman to Hurricane Katrina... Timothy Thomas.  At ETC.  Last night Monday.  

Ms. Anonymous:  there are natural methods to kill bedbugs.  the outbreak is more serious than I thought.  If people stop going to restaurants and theaters...  
At Macy's, a woman in the bedding dept., a man from the health dept says "No, it is not a matter of if y ou get them, but when."  
91% isopropyl alcohol, sprays around, shoes.  Also sprinkles diatomaceous earth  all around the bed.
the eggs can live for a year with no sustenance.  
I am starting to wear white pants and white shoes so I can see the bugs.  ... Cincinnati is the bed bug capitol.  

Vlasta:  frozen carbon dioxide, dry ice,  in a gal. bottle.  Leave the lid open.  The bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide.  Science News said it is the most effective.  
Don Wang said the Chinese set the bed legs in a bowl of water.  The bugs have to crawl up the legs of the bed, and so they drown.  

DeBugg, a company downtown.  has a Cedar Oil product.  

the city council and the mayor are giving the city away.  3CDC is a money laundering operation.  I am looking for courageous lawyers for a group of people to sue the city.  

Mira:  Ken, you are at Findlay Market, do you know whether Amish chicken is really natural...

Ken:  like any community, the Amish are a varied group.  

Vlasta:  the only thing I feel Obama has done wrong is the guy he appointed as head of Education.  "Race to the top" program punishes teachers for pupils' poor performance, so this punishes teachers for working in inner city schools.  

Byron:  "Waiting for Superman" at the Esquire, about education.

Dear Wonderful Martin Luther King Chorale Singers (and anyone else who loves to sing),

It is the time of year when we gather to imagine the world Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was able to envision.
 
King saw the beauty that emerges when we all become drum majors for justice, when we step out in freedom's name, when we work for peace and religious tolerance, when we speak out against bigotry and endless spending on war rather than the social uplift of all people.
 
We have much work to do. Let us join together in song to broadcast hope and courage with a message bigger than each of us individually. Let's raise our joyfilled voices for justice. Let's send out a ringing, resonant choral endorsement of empathy and compassion.
 
Walk the Journey! Pass the Torch! Embrace the Dream

Rehearsals begin on  Tuesday, November 9 at the House of Joy, at 7:00.
 
Rehearsals are every other week in 2010:
Tuesday November 23 @ 7
Tuesday December 7 @ 7
Tuesday December 21 @ 7

2011:
Tuesday January 4 @ 7
Tuesday January 11 @ 7
Saturday January 15 (10 to 12)
 
Our performance is on Martin Luther King Day, at Music Hall, Monday January 17. We will make our annual pilgrimage to Warren Correctional Institute on Friday January 14, and we usually perform at least one or two other run-outs in the community.
 
Thank you,
with love
Dr. Catherine Roma & Bishop Todd O'Neal

SUHITH WIKREMA VOTES FOR SOCIALIST DAN LABOTZ

 Dear Friend

I voted yesterday.  I would like to share with you how I voted on two races- the Ohio Governor's race and the race for the UN Senate seat from Ohio. Both of these races have third party candidates. The Governor's race has a Green Party candidate. The US Senate has a Socialist Party candidate.  I would have liked to vote for both of these candidates.  However, I decided to vote for only one of these candidates.

Let me explain why.

2011 is going to be a redistricting year. Thus, I would rather have Democrats in control ofOhio.  All the polls show that the Ohio Governor's race is a tossup. I did not want to be an ideologue and vote for the Green Party candidate thus, increasing the chances of giving the control of the redistricting process to the Republicans.

The Race for the US Senate is different. The Real Clear Politics poll average gives the Republican candidate an 18.5 % lead.  Some polls even give the Republican candidate a 23% lead.  My vote for the Democratic candidate would not have made any difference.

  I did not want to waste my vote on the Democratic candidate. Thus, I voted for Dan La Botz.

Dan La Botz:  Opposes the war!  Support Single Payer Health care! Support the immediate repeal of DADT and equality in marriage for all!

Since I agree with the above positions, I could not see any reason to vote for any other candidate.

   CityBeat  agreed with me and endorsed Dan La Botz .  http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-21963-curiouser-and-curiouser.html

"La Botz supports radical democracy, the democratic control of the economy by the majority of Americans instead of by a small minority. Working people make the country run, he says, and working people should run the country. He sees the answers to our national problems and international conflicts coming not from the Democratic or Republican parties but from powerful labor and social movements he hopes to foster."

Bentley Davis' updates on the political scene... Bentley rocks!  Best politics expert I've met.  Ellen

Political Notes:

Bentley is too busy campaigning, but got questions?  email her.  

Bentley DAvis <bentleysdavis@gmail.com>


 Important to GOTV (Get out the Vote!)

The national polls, media, etc. are all reporting a situation that looks really glum for the Democrats.   So why should we bother?   Here are my personal reasons for why we should continue to work with intensity and not give up:
 
1) First and foremost, polls can be wrong, and there can be last-minute shifts that make previous polls obsolete.   Our gameplan continues to be to get those Democratic-leaning but sporadic voters (who the pollsters are assuming won't vote) to show up.   If we do that, we change the math.   Especially in closer races, this can swing the result.
 
2) Recent polls in Ohio show some races are closing.   The Governor's race, for example, is now seen as a dead heat.   Now is not the time to give up on this!
 
3) There are many candidates on the ballot, and many voters will likely split their votes.   Getting the Dem-leaning voters out there may not be enough for some candidates, but may make the difference for others.
 
4) The people we are contacting are first-time 2008 voters, or very sporadic voters.  Regardless of the outcome of this election, we want to make voting more of a habit for these folks.   A first-time voter in 2008 who also votes in 2010 is much more likely to vote in subsequent elections, vs. looking at 2008 as an anomaly when the unusual excitement of the race got them to vote.   We need to think beyond 2010, and cultivate our supporters to be regular voters.
 
5) Win or lose, I suspect the political strategists and the policy makers are going to be looking at the election results as they try to measure levels of support in our communities going forward.   We need to make as strong a showing as possible.   The stronger the position, even in a losing election, the more influence we have with the decisions that ultimately get made.
 
6) Personal responsibilty.   I don't want to wake up on November 3, and feel like I had not done what I could do to help make a difference.
 
Bottom line:  Sure, there will be some Democratic losses on November 2.   But if we work hard, there will also be wins.    Let's filter out the talking heads right now, focus on winning where we can, and make as strong a showing as possible everywhere else.
 
Ok, the philosophizing is over.   Please let me know if you are able to help out between now and Election Day, and I will get you plugged in to the activities.  Those of you who have already given your schedules to Nancy, thanks!   We will be back to you as we know more.
 
Thanks!
   --Mike
 

Ellen,
 
I can't thank you enough for all you do for our City.  Thank you to infinity for helping Steve Driehaus!  Bravo to you.

Ellen - Gabriel Cousins is great on videos.  Sorry it wasn't good.  I wonder if he's actually a rabbi.
 
Have you ever seen or heard of Anna Baltzer, an American Jewish woman who has a DVD about her experiences in the Middle East.  Father Ben just showed part of it at a meeting, and I bought a copy.  It needs to be shown in full followed by a discussion.  Have you had discussions about Palestinian/Jewish situation at Lloyd House? 
Father Ben would like to contact you.  I was going to give him your phone number, but maybe you prefer email.  You are difficult to reach by phone.

Valerie Cronus Bickett sends this by Dylan Thomas:

Poem in October

It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood   
      And the mussel pooled and the heron
                  Priested shore
            The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook
And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wall   
            Myself to set foot
                  That second
      In the still sleeping town and set forth.

      My birthday began with the water-
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name   
      Above the farms and the white horses
                  And I rose   
            In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days.
High tide and the heron dived when I took the road
            Over the border
                  And the gates
      Of the town closed as the town awoke.

      A springful of larks in a rolling
Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling   
      Blackbirds and the sun of October
                  Summery
            On the hill's shoulder,
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly   
Come in the morning where I wandered and listened   
            To the rain wringing
                  Wind blow cold
      In the wood faraway under me.

      Pale rain over the dwindling harbour
And over the sea wet church the size of a snail   
      With its horns through mist and the castle   
                  Brown as owls
            But all the gardens
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales   
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.   
            There could I marvel
                  My birthday
      Away but the weather turned around.

      It turned away from the blithe country
And down the other air and the blue altered sky   
      Streamed again a wonder of summer
                  With apples
            Pears and red currants
And I saw in the turning so clearly a child's
Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother   
            Through the parables
                  Of sun light
      And the legends of the green chapels

      And the twice told fields of infancy
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine.   
      These were the woods the river and sea
                  Where a boy
            In the listening
Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joy   
To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tide.
            And the mystery
                  Sang alive
      Still in the water and singingbirds.

      And there could I marvel my birthday
Away but the weather turned around. And the true   
      Joy of the long dead child sang burning
                  In the sun.
            It was my thirtieth
Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noon   
Though the town below lay leaved with October blood.   
            O may my heart's truth
                  Still be sung
      On this high hill in a year's turning.


— by Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas (27 October 1914 – 9 November 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer  who wrote exclusively in English. In addition to poetry, he wrote short stories and scripts for film and radio, which he often performed himself. His public readings, particularly in America, won him great acclaim; his sonorous voice with a subtle Welsh lilt became almost as famous as his works.

The Elephant in the Living Room - film [Friday-Thursday 5-11 November]: This is the local premiere of a documentary (filmed largely in Ohio) about the trade in exotic pets, their owners in American suburbs and, the sometimes deadly consequences of owning these animals.

There are as many tigers in Texas as are in the wild globally. Illegal trade in "exotics" is a multibillion dollar business. Not only is the topic important, the film has won several awards & is being praised by audiences (9.3/10 rating at IMDb.com) & critics alike:
    "One of the scariest, most entertaining & technically perfect film." ~ Michael Moore
    " A movie like this comes around only once in 30 years." ~ Sagan Lewis, Director, Sedona International Film Festival
    "Eye opening & heart stopping. The very best in documentary filmmaking." ~ Ron Hammer, Prescott News.
