rewriting history

Here's a good article about how the Religious Right gets its way in Texas. From the New York Times Magazine.

Remember, "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" meets at Fourth Ave. Methodist Church this Thursday at noon. Bring your own lunch if you wanna eat. AU is a good mix of clergy, atheists, activists, etc. You're all welcome.

gossip/manipulation/spin

From my humble experience, what often dooms communes and other such endeavors is a climate of disrespect. I think the answer is to address it, and address it, and address it. Also, to challenge spin, and stifle rumors.

AU Meeting on the 18th

Hey all you Brickers, on February 18th, there will be an AU meeting at 4th Avenue Methodist Church (We used to meet at Carly Rae's, but it went out of business.)

AU is from, "Americans United for Separation of Church and State". One of the biggest such groups in the USA.

Come meet with us and help put a dent in the religious Right's plan to pocket taxdollars, limit reproductive freedom, weaken public education, etc., etc.

We meet at 12 noon; bring your own lunch if you want. We're a mixture of religious folks, atheists, clergy, agnostics, etc. Everyone is welcome! This will be our second meeting there since Carly Rae's went under, but I am pretty sure we'll enter on the North, rear, side of the church.
