returning packaging

Bring Back Your Packaging: In order to highlight the fact that householders are not waste producers but waste receivers and also to highlight the failure of outlets to provide recycling facilities despite section 29(i) of Waste Management Act 1996, Anti Bin Tax Campaigns in Dublin City are organising a “bring back your packaging” event at 7.15 tonight at Crumlin Shopping centre and at SuperQuinn on the Sundrive Road.

i think this is what came up in conversation with duncan last night

lambuel – crazy creationist terror

OBJECTIVE: 4 Kidz: “Hello! My name is Lambuel and I hope that we can be friends. I would like to share with you my love for Jesus. Did you know that Jesus loves each and every one of us? It’s true! In the Bible, He says: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’… Isn’t that COOL?!”

This is hillarious and terrifying. The funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Now where’s my coffee. Bah!

idea: quickhacks

This post is for tracking ideas for quick little software hacks that would save time but that I don’t have the time to implement right now. The idea is that when I have a few free hours, I can pick one of these up.

A Call for Anti-War Actions in Washington, DC, January 20, 2005

RISE Against Bush
SHINE For A Peaceful Tomorrow

A Call for Anti-War Actions in Washington, DC, January 20, 2005

Every morning, the sun rises up, penetrating and overcoming the darkness
of night. What once was dark becomes bright, changed by the force of the
sun’s rays.

Our world is in darkness tonight, plagued with war, poverty, environmental
destruction, and attacks on many of the liberties that so many of us hold
dear. The darkness over our world has grown yet darker with the election
of George W. Bush to another 4 years in office.

In the dark of the night, we need only wait for the sun. However, in the
dark of our world, we cannot wait. If we are to see a new dawn, we must
take action now. The DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) calls on the people of
the world to RISE Against Bush and SHINE For A Peaceful Tomorrow.

We RISE
· Against the needless slaughter in and occupation of Iraq;
· Against the assault on civil liberties, as represented by such acts as
the Patriot Act and the immoral detentions at Guantanamo Bay;
· Against US support of the Israeli government’s denial of human rights against the Palestinian people;
· Against U.S. overthrow of Aristide in Haiti;
· Against U.S. attempts to overthrow any other democratically elected
leader, including Hugo Chavez in Venezuela;
· Against any U.S. military action in Iran.

We SHINE
· For a world that embraces peaceful dialogue instead of war;
· For a world where we respect the liberty of all beings;
· For a world that looks out for all those who are now oppressed,
including the poor, women, racial minorities, workers, the disabled,
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, as well as the earth and its creatures;
· For a world that embraces social justice;
· For democracy and the autonomy of all people to have a full say in how
they are governed;
· For each other.

The Call
DAWN calls for people all over the nation and world to converge on
Washington, DC, on the day of George W. Bush’s Inauguration, January 20,
2005, for peaceful anti-war actions.

While DAWN is coordinating with many groups for a day of actions, DAWN
calls additionally for these specific actions:

1. A permitted nonviolent anti-war rally followed by a march to Bush’s
inaugural parade route
2. A nonviolent civil disobedience die-in, following the rally, in
memorial to the dead at the hands of Bush and his Administration

DAWN also calls for organizations, affinity groups, and individuals to
partner with us in organizing these two actions.

Next Steps
If you or your group or organization wants to endorse DAWN’s call to
action, please send an e-mail to info@dawndc.net. Write also if you wish
to collaborate in the planning or offer financial donations or other
material support.

Find out more information about DAWN’s and other groups’ actions at
http://www.counter-inaugural.org, by participating in the DC Cluster
Spokescouncil meetings (refer to website), or by participating in DAWN’s
weekly meetings. Check our website, http://www.dawndc.net for more
details. Housing boards, events boards, working group information, and
(soon) ride boards can be found at http://www.counter-inaugural.org. We
will post updates of our actions, as they become available, to that
website.

The new dawn begins with our rising up. It will take a lot of light to
break through such darkness, but we can do it. We have no other choice.
