SECTION ONE: TABLE NOTES
Around the table: Byron, Mr. G., Viddle, Mira, Julia, Vlasta, Lauren, Sophia
Around the table: Byron, Mr. G., Viddle, Mira, Julia, Vlasta, Lauren, Sophia
At the Table: Byron Moodey, Mr. G., Ms. Anonymous, Vlasta Molak, Sophia Yarden, Julia Yarden, Ellen Bierhorst, Lauren Hanisian, Viddle, Mira Rodwan,
Election results: all the local dems. lost except Judge Nadine Allen, Co. Auditor Dusty Rhodes.
Driehaus lost 45% to 52%
Obama gave a good address and press conference. Read here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2010/11/03/press-conference-president
(We went person by person around the table, passing the Maasai talking stick, each taking 3 minutes.)
Byron: I was not happy with the election outcome. My concern is that I think US voters want instant gratification, want all the economic problems fixed immediately and that's not going to happen. I am concerned whether the Republicans in the House will work cooperatively with the President, or whether it will be gridlock. I am concerned about the influence of the Tea Party people.
Viddle: The problem is unemployment, the perception of a debt that is based on an old Protestant ethic of frugality. The country has been in debt since 1932, and the debt is growing. The notion that debt is amoral comes from an extreme notion.
Byron: NPR. One rep. in the House said they'll go to Washington and support the Health Care Bill, but at home their constituents are talking about jobs. One reason why the Dems. lost a lot of seats was because the people need jobs and the gov't was concentrting on other things.
Julia: What do people mean "We need jobs". ? I feel bored about the election. (?) yes, I voted. disappointed; same old same old. in the revolutionary war people were upset because we were in debt, they were in debt to European governments. Was a big reason why we had the Revolution. It would be good for the Tea Party nuts to look at history.
Our nation went from agricultural base to industrial base... I'd like to see a group "the new sons and dau. of the Am. Revolution" rather than Tea Party.
Mira: Before the election I didn't have high hopes. Tried to figure out how to vote that would be meaningful. ... I took (salonista) Janet Kalven to vote. She is now 97 years old. ... a few weeks ago I was thinking maybe I should renew my relations with my Canadian relatives. ... I thought there was a lot of covert racism.
... next Sunday,
Nov 7, 7 pm at CINTAS center, XU, Michel Brownley and Karen Llanfair, Transition Towns..."Ecology and Sustainability: Green Urbanism" series. ... Changing us from fossil fuel dependence. Free. ... In March, Richard Louv on Nature Deficit Disorder.
Vlasta on Sat. I went to Fountain Square for the local "March to restore Sanity", large screen. I was told not to come in with my dog. Was told it was private property. The policeman said "this is private property". So I stood near by. He said, "No this is still private property". I was so pissed off! And that is what they are going to do with Washington Park.
... a woman comes to pet my dog. 60 ish.
They had Cat Stephens sing Peace Train. Now called Yusuf. He became a Moslem.
Colbert and Jon Steward...
Yesterday I worked all day at a polling place...I think it would be easy to cheat.
Lauren: I was not at all surprised; I feel bitter, disappointed in the American public. I don't get it why people voted like this. I think there is some racism under the surface. The tea party people hate him. Seems like more hatred than any other presidential election.
I was glad Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown both won, despite the millions of the opponents. California.
I look forward to watching the Republicans fail in the next two years.
Ellen: I think we should get involved in local party politics.
Mr.G: (censored)
... saw "Waiting for Superman" about our education system failing. Our country should stand up and say "You cannot do this!" ... lots of scenes of parents taking kids to charter schools, where there is a lottery to pick accepted students. sinful! Crazy!
Brooke: I was not surprised by the election. I hoped Strickland would win. At least we've got Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer. My priority is to change our election system to Proportional Representation where you rate your preferences. this would help level the playing field re. money in campaign coffers. The other thing would be campaign finance reform. ... the recent Supreme Court ruling empower corporations to give unlimited campaign money.
How could we get representatives who are beholden to the grass roots. We all know the corporations are running the show. Need campaign finance reform.
I wish the Democrats would read Geo Lakoff more; frame the debate; they don't represent themselves well. They let the Republicans define them.
The rep. capitalized on fear and doubt. That is easy. For instance the charges that Strickland lost 400,000 jobs in Ohio. The Dems didn't correct that. I don't understand why the Republicans are more effective in communicating to the voters.
Viddle... the economy is not the Dems problem, but they happened to be in power when it has been happening.
Brooke: I feel the average american didn't get told why the bailouts were necessary... not effectively.
Mr. G. Our country is full of people who support Republican rhetoric even if they don't believe it. I think the fault in this election is that the Democratic administration has not produced the results its supporters expected.
... I was afraid for 8 years during the Bush years; I don't want to be afraid now. Don't want to be motived by fear.
Brooke: I agree
Mira: who owns the media.? Edutainment. Even PBS news hour has corporate sponsors. ... I have a friend who was looking at the sky and said "We need a theocracy."
Van Jones ... he was in the administration, and he had to resign because he said something ... He wanted to get green jobs for poor people. that was a terrible loss.
I think Obama could have concentrated on jobs in the beginning.
Vlasta: I think the Republicans essentially bought the elections... they had more money. Because our education system has failed to teach people to tell fact from fiction. The average Americans are morons.
And 80% of old people do vote, many more than young people. So we are to blame.
At the polls yesterday, working, the poll workers were grossly obese and smoked. They complained about their health. They were younger than me but look older.
The one better dressed woman complained about her recent hospitalization. She was a Republican. I asked her how she paid for it (over a million dollars). She said "Medicare".
... there were inefficiencies... the machine broke at about ten o'clock ... had to be replaced. ... they couldn't tell us how much we were being paid.
How can we change? Get off the grid like I am. ... There is enough energy falling on my roof to supply my needs.
Brooke: Friday there is an eco art show at McKee center in Northside on Chase Ave. Sat at Off the Avenue is a dance, a tribute to native peoples of this area. George Hardebeck's project. There is also a pot luck. The mayor has acknowledged this. More events on Sunday. Call 681 7632 extension 3 for more information, ARCHE.

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

SECTION TWO: ACTIVITIES, OPPORTUNITIES
George Hardebeck posted in ARCHE - Arts Restoring Culture for Healing Earth.George Hardebeck 2:10pm Nov 2 A Harvest for Reconciliation
with our Native Life
1:30 - 4:30 P.M., Sunday, November 7th
World Community Day Weekend in Native American Heritage Month
North Presbyterian Church Hall, 4222 Hamilton Avenue, Northside 45223
Join our Potlatch / Potluck to help us to kick off our Regional Reconciliation Process, with Native Peoples, Culture and Natural Life.
If of other than Native American descent the cost is a suggested donation of $10, and food to share. Funds support venue, and a Native concern.
If you are of Native lineage, this feast is for you. So, no charge. If you wish to share food, we humbly accept but make no request. You've given plenty.
Some of our local farmers are helping to provide food, right where we have our market in Northside, and among them some have been growing this feast too as a ritual of reconciliation - following Squanto's lead, when he offerred with the Pilgrims to sow a feast for the Narragansett, whose graves they desecrated and food they stole upon first landing.
We've got a long road ahead to get this right but are working toward cycling this process through Cincinnati's many communities, with many of our sectors, including those in Interfaith & Interethnic work, Peace & Justice, Gardenning & Conservation, Health & Education, and Arts & Identity Promotion, as this is about our long-term identity and its health.
'What does reconciliation mean' - we are asing our Native Peoples and for Native Life - as we get "The Nati Going Native to help bring on our Age of Reconciliation", as proclaimed by our most Honerable Mayor Mark Mallory, at The Vigil for Native Life? How does 2012 sound for the beginning of this long overdue age? Many others are claiming these beginnings elsewhere.
See the UN's Indigenous Forum for a world view on the web.
Jean Marie Brightfire Stophlet will help us gain a sense of what it's like to be Native in the Nati, while we pose other questions to contemplate, like: How would our region look and feel now, had we continued going native, as did our French voyagers, who saw Native life and our mildly wilds as salvage, rather than savage - the English version. Have we been going native, as is natural for an invading group over time, and how?
Jean Marie helped bring the Native aspect into our National Underground Rairoad Freedom Center, among other great work for reconciliation, and as a Native elder leads our Interethnic Council of Greater Cincinnati.
Janice Trytten, Sunflower, will share Native Flute, and we'll all work on this ritual of gratitude and thanksgiving together, re-creativlly in celebration recharging the native value of community and relatedness with our life.
Let's reconcile the errors of our cultural and ancestral ways, allowing our meek toward all life to lead us in healthfully inheriting our wondrous Earth, as our indigenous have in the havens of our planet, as once was entire.
We'll make a petition for changing Columbus Day to First American's Day available, too, as Native Peoples are working toward for next year.View on Facebook ·

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. Consider that you need tags for your dog but no license to own a lion or cobra. The Burmese Python now breeds in the wild in Florida because so many escaped or were released. 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:
