article Sociatry

While I respect your perspect Cynthia, and I know from our 
conversations that we have a quite similar vision of a world
of peace and sanity, I have difficulty with this statement:

"Pinter's reaction is typical of social activism that
only knows protest and polarization to try to stop what is happening.  And
is a reaction typical of social activists who demonize one side over the
other, making one side seem the innocent victim, which also is not historically
or currently accurate. That is confronting the dynamics of the problem with the same dynamics; Bush
is demonizing, so demonize back."

Here is my concern:  To suggest that the problem is the back and forth demonization of sides to another
does not recognize the soical implications of occupation, cultural destruction, invasion, and out and out
rape.  The impact of just the rediation experiments the United States is deploying in Iraq is equal, in
the long of it - the to gas chambers of the Nazi regime, in my view of things.  This is along side of
what we have done here to the First Nations of this land and what we are doing - with the rest of the world -
to the land, air, sea, fish, birds, plants, earth.

I take this point of view:  unless we address the situation, it remains unaddressed.  How we address it is
critical.  We have the science in our hands.  Moreno left us with the science, albeit unfinished in the realization.
The whole idea of sociatry is so interesting to me.  What if he left us formulas to address the whole of mankind?

That's my passion.
