hi larry-
the miso i've gotten here seems mostly imported,
though there is a surpisingly good selection. what i'd
really like is the chunky-with intact grain miso they
used to have in bulk at Community Foods in santa cruz,
Follow Your Heart in santa barbara, and the Fairfax,
CA healthfood store too (the Good Earth?). now THAT
was some tasty miso, with seaweed tidbits and not to
salty/strong so that you good practically eat it
straight. do they have that in NC?

of the universe
some say.

here's a little article that would seem to influence
how friendly hipsters are toward fundamentals/war on

Fundamentalists flog Somali woman in public
Strict religious punishment raises fears of
Taliban-style regime

Somali woman in public in Mogadishu on Thursday.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- Islamic leaders in
Mogadishu gave a woman 11 lashes for selling cannabis
Thursday, the first female to receive such punishment
since the fundamentalist rulers took over the capital
in June.

The woman, who throughout the beating insisted she was
innocent, was flogged alongside five other men at the
Yassin Square in Mogadishu in front of several hundred
people. The small bundle of cannabis, worth around $1
on the streets in the capital, was burned before the
crowd.

"The reason we punished them was that we want to stop
people selling and using drugs," said a local security
official, Sheik Omar Hussein. "We believe as Islamists
that people should stay away from drugs."

The imposition of strict religious rule has sparked
fears of an emerging, Taliban-style regime. The United
States accuses Somalia's Islamic leaders of harboring
al Qaeda leaders responsible for deadly bombings at
the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Somalia has not had a police force or judiciary for 16
years since the warlords overthrew longtime dictator
Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on each
other, carving much of the country into armed camps
ruled by violence and clan law.

The Islamic leaders stepped into the vacuum in
Mogadishu and most of southern Somalia, projecting
themselves as a source of stability.

Late Tuesday, Islamic militiamen raided a makeshift
video hall in Mogadishu, beating up viewers watching
an Indian film. Like the Taliban, members of the group
appear to see any secular entertainment as un-Islamic.

Somalia has a weak transitional government set up two
years ago with U.N.-backing, but it has been unable to
assert its authority beyond Baidoa, 150 miles (240
kilometers) northwest of Mogadishu, and could only
watch helplessly as Islamic militants seized the
capital in June.
