What Are You Up To?
Dear Readers!
Please share with us what you are personally doing
relating to nonviolent change. If you send us a short report of your doings,
learnings, ideas, concerns, reactions, queries, and so forth, we will print
them here. Responses can be published in the next issue.
Marilee Niehoff: published reviews of Lauar M. Ramirez:
Keepers of the Children: Native
American approaches to Parenting, and John Selby, Quiet Your Mind: An Easy-to-Use Guide to Ending Chronic Worry and
Negative Thoughts and Living a Calmer Life, in the June/July issue of AHP Perspective, and of Philip Lee
Miller, The Life Extension Revolution:
The New Science of Growing Older Without Aging, in the October/November
issue of AHP Perspective.
Steve Sachs: Hoping that the New Year brings a
uniting of the opposites, for you and the world, in this very polarized time,
with opportunities taken to transform the many breakdowns occurring into
breakthroughs. For the good of the world and the country, it is especially
important that positive changes take place in United States politics and policy
in the year ahead. Among the issues that need to be properly addressed is the
shift occurring in world power. The United States is declining economically
(with not only jobs moving abroad, but with large numbers of U.S. firms being
bought by foreign corporations, while U.S. governmental debt and imbalance of
payments are increasing dangerously), and hence ultimately militarily and
diplomatically, while China and other Asian nations are rising in economic,
and hence military and diplomatic power. The Bush Administration has been
resisting that decline in ways that sharply amplify it, while intensifying
international conflict, increasing the likelihood of war. While the U.S.
still has the resources to do so, it can enhance its position by taking
collaborative approaches that creatively deal with the developing shift in
world power, to create a more favorable future for the world, and hence for
the U.S.
