'Jesus said, 'Love your Enemies.' He did NOT say, 'Ignore,' 'Deny,' 'Unoppose' them!!!' sLoving
Relative to 'Enemies' I am recognizing two deadly pitfalls I've been in all my days, at least, typical pitfalls for one raised in the Light of Jesus, as I was:
1. Not recognizing Enemies. Jesus clearly teaches to Love the enemy, and for me, that has meant being 'blind,' in 'denial,' to their existence.
2. Mis-Representing 'Enemies' to oneself. NEVER can they be the person. NEVER. BUT THEY MUST BE SEEN AS THE EVIL (OPPOSITE OF 'LIVE,' LIFE PRODUCING) WITHIN THE PERSON, PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS....
3. Not Warring, Unviolently, against them with every particle of being.

URGENT. Loving Here: I may need Funding Help, Manpower help, Immediately. Circulate This.
YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER HELPING WITH THIS - $$$$, FUNDRAISING, MANPOWER FOR RESEARCH. FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T BLOW THIS OFF. LET ME KNOW. CIRCULATE TO YOUR FRIENDS. NOW. Tomorrow, is too late.
I envision my role three fold going forward the next 3 months or so:
1. Continuing to 'be' opposition, 'the' opposition with every breath. To be the other 'side,' the alternative to living with the status quo of environmental armageddon. This is the most important thing that I, you or anyone can do.
2. Filling the Planning/Progress Report Void. Would you have a crucial flight to catch, yet not know - where the airport is, what time the plane leaves, how to get there, what time it is now, how fast you are traveling, what the wait time at check-in is...???? No. Yet this is precisely the situation regarding environmental armageddon. There are literally dozens if not thousands of articles every day on the environment, but no plan, no status report, no benchmark, no reference mark to judge what they mean! 'Brazil has reduced forest destruction 80%,' for example. So what? It that 80% of what we need, or .0001%? 'Wind power growth doubled last year.' So what? Is that twice what we needed to be on track to reducing the use of carbon 80% by 2020, or is it .00001% of what we needed. NO ONE KNOWS, RIGHT NOW. What the Hell do we need all these articles for, if they don't tell us anything?!?!? If, IF I devote myself, I can begin to move us out of this total darkness. Correction. I can begin to move ME out of this total darkness. I have every reason so far to expect that just as my efforts thus far have been carefully ignored, they will be ignored going forward. But that isn't my responsibility. And no, I am not feeling sorry for me. I'm feeling sorry for Humanity.
3. Filling a crucial 'visibility' void - in front of the White House. The Hope for Saving HomeEarth is that the Children, the Youth will wake up to what we are doing to their home. The next possibility isn't one millionth as hopeful. 10,000 kids or more from all over the country, and world, will go thru the WH park this spring. I want to be there 12 hours per clement day blaring KIDS VOICES like these - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-beg-you-get-this-seen-nick-news.html . But I'm under massive constraints - I live on the streets for the privilege of devoting 100%, not 99% of my Life to these issues; hence, I am massively constrained on where, when, and how I can power sound equipment, and my computer. I need sound power loud enough to get noticed in that massive park, and that lasts 14 hours. And, it needs to fit in my already bulging suitcase. I have no home. I have no storage. I have much experience with this, and massive practice. I know the batteries. I know the PA systems. I have tech question emails out to several vendors, but it looks like: A. I have the loudspeaker (but the criminally shoddy, international vendor, Beringer (epa40), has neglected to import replacement batteries for over a year. Literally, and mine's dead. Wish I had a lawyer.). B. The Battery I need must be able to fully recharge in 8 hours, and then last 12, every day. The one battery that can do that is this, and it needs an inverter http://www.amazon.com/Goal0-Ranger-Battery-Universal-Inverter/dp/B004FT5OIA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332166307&sr=8-4 .
3. Streamlining Start Loving blog to be more of an environmental resource center. For weeks now I've devoted many hours per day culling the articles that apply to the 4-prongued Plan B 3.0, and posting them. But Start Loving blog's main page is crammed with much, much, much stuff, diminishing it's ability to be a readily searchable resource center. I envision re-orienting the site, breaking it into sub-pages / tabs, so that the main page is clear as a searchable resource center.
I'm already throwing myself at this. But I haven't a fraction of the resources necessary. You need to step up, yourself, with friends, with acquaintances....
