Bob,
I hope I catch you before you sign off, I do not share the sentiments of
everyone on this list but I do value yours and your work.  I wish you would
reconsider you decision to withdraw from this list.

The work you do and have done in Oklahoma has been nothing short of
miraculous and I appreciate your presence here.

I never should have let my emotions get the best of me, because Lawrence is
as 
bigoted as it comes when it this kind of subject comes up, and I knew that 
having subscribed here for a long time, and there's no possibility of
rational 
discussion with such people.  I apologize for my lack of discretion and will
be 
unsubscribe as it is evident from that the list owners comments that
Catholics 
are not welcome here and I don't want to intrude where I am not wanted.

It is a bibilical saying worth reading. I attached the .jpg too. Something
about God gave humanity this world to live on and we should take care of it
and each other. That's what this Permaculture list is about.

What a hoot.

happen because there are pro choice elements in these communities. So it
goes.

Wow. Some reply; talk about lacking observational abilities. That was a
pretty serious genocidal event in Argentina carried out by the
billionaire/military thuggery you despise, or at least you say you do, and
all you can say is you don't know, you were not there at the time; well who
was? I guess next you'll say 'its not my job'.  Those unfortunate victims
were a carbon copy of the alternative movements of America, Europe and
elsewhere. They were probably pro choice too, an attribute that would have
sealed their fate as far as the church was concerned. The priests who sided
with the alternative movement were abandoned by the church and thrown to
the genocidal military thugs.
Some record. All over doctrine and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

You must be joking. Sounds like typical fundamentalist boilerplate
propaganda.
I think this Creation you mention = DOCTRINE.
Creation = God gave us this world to live on and we need to take care of it
and all of its creatures
standing with the poor =  make sure everyone is fed and that there are not
more mouths to feed than there is food to put in them....
And you know what that means don't you, Bob? Women's right to choose and
birth control, neither of which is acceptable in your camp. So what kind of
humanitarian are you?
