According to the US government, not only are nature and shamanism illegal, but so are YOU, of possession AND manufacturing of an “illegal narcotic.”

Bleeding Heart Libertarians
One of the most elucidating introductions to the “intellectual traditions” of libertarianism I’ve ever heard. Very thought-provoking and concise. Highly recommended if you’re interested in politics or non-politics.
Interesting how the individual and the collective form a spectrum. And that is where all form and pattern originates. Between the particles and the waves. ~

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Man explains to News why he loves the Orlando Police Department
Awesome and hilarious, but about a serious issue however. Dozens of Food Not Bombs folks have been arrested, many right in the midst of serving healthy free meals to children. 27 of the volunteers have been charged and await trial, and many spent nearly a month in prison, for simply feeding the hungry in a public park.

Citizens Write Iceland’s New Constitution With Help From Social Media
The newest government in the world was designed with help from comments on the internet. God help us all. After Iceland’s economic collapse in 2008, the island nation decided it was time to write a new constitution, this one not based on its parent country of Denmark but rather made from the original ideas of its citizens. Iceland’s small population of 320,000 elected 25 assembly members from 522 ordinary candidates (including lawyers, political science professors, journalists, and many other professions), who in turn opened their process up to the public in an unprecedented fashion. The Constitutional Council was highly active on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr, where they solicited comments and suggestions for the new government. On Friday July 29th, 2011, the Iceland parliament officially received the new constitution, comprised of 114 articles divided into 9 chapters. Set to be reviewed, and then put before vote for ratification by October 1st, the internet-assisted document marks a possible paradigm shift in governing. In the 21st Century, we’re writing our constitutions with social media. The future is a crazy place.

UN attempting to outlaw all sacred plants (Ayahuasca, Iboga, etc.). SIGN PETITION!!
Important message from Luis Eduardo;
Dear friends,
I urge you to sign this petition. Once more, this is an attack against the cultural and spiritual heritage of non-western people, a continuation of conquest and colonization of the word by people with a very limited worldview.
Best regards,
Luis Eduardo
The United Nations International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) has published on their website their annual report about the world situation on drugs in 2010. In this report, the INCB has included the preoccupying recommendation towards governments to outlaw traditional plants such as Ayahuasca (a decoction made with botanicals like Banisteriopsis Caapi and Psychotria Viridis) andTabernanthe Iboga among others, neglecting their important role as traditional medicine, as a sacrament and as therapeutic tool. These are the primary uses of these plants found in societies all over the world.
The International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research & Service (ICEERS) is organizing a letter-writing campaign to counter this demonic injustice. Please read more about this issue and add your signature here, and take a moment to browse the beautiful website of ICEERS.org.
