[Scpg] Reflections on Cochabamba

[Barbara Wishingrad]

Hi everyone,
I have been writing for the last month or so about my South America experience 
and what it means in the bigger picture; I've finished parts 1-3. I have ideas 
for 12 pieces for now.  I've posted the articles on hopedance.org and sent in 
the photos that go with them but the photos aren't up yet.  still, if you want 
to read them,  here they are:
http://hopedance.org/blogs/reflections-on-cochabamba-part-1-eruptions-of-a-volcano.html


http://hopedance.org/blogs/reflections-on-cochabamba-part-2-living-well-instead-of-living-better.html


http://hopedance.org/blogs/reflections-on-cochabamba-part-iii-the-inauguration.html


 You can check back in the next days or week to see if the photos are up too.
These articles can be copied, passed around, and reposted on the web.  I just 
ask that people keep my byline (name); keeping the bio would be better.  I have 
some serious writing ahead of me in Part 4 about the working groups, the process 
of consensus, assumptions about ideology at the conference, how we presented and 
are presenting ourselves and our conclusions at the UN and other places in the 
world, and so on.  But I figure I will just keep aiming to write every day, and 
one day it will be done, and then the next one, etc. I am enjoying it.
comments and feedback are appreciated.

 "...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even 
if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is 
enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the 
very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and 
shelter."
- Bill Mollison
