Oh yeah! That it does... so does Sandalwood... should we,shouldn't we?

Apparently Aloes wood does the same thing at least some species...

Hey at long last relented and let me sign in again:)

 

Good show Butch taking a rest for a while. Most people have no idea

on the hours he spent everyday on his computer trying to help educate

people. He also spent huge amounts of time with personal replies at

the cost of his business.

 

Most people also do not know about the recent fights we both had with

the moderators of ATFE. This resulted from the overworked list owner

Stacey trying to take a break and the group got into the hands of

dictators. Butch myself and others were determined to stop their crap

of editing and stopping posts to the group if they did not like

them. Fortunately now that group is again back in the position where

people can express their opinions openly.

 

Many people in aromatherapy just detest what they consider flaming

and on line fights. They want everything to be all sweetness and

light. Unfortunately, those same pacifists also refuse to recognise

that we are in a trade that is bursting at the seams with liars and

con artists. Only with open discussion can these people sometimes be

exposed on newsgroups (there is no other medium that can happen in).

Therefore, I salute Chris. for allowing open discussion on this group

without heavy handed editing.

 

As someone who was in the past involved in politics I can have a

heated argument with someone over policy issues, which to people not

used to such exchanges looks like a fight. In politics people then

walk into the bar afterwards and have a drink together. For those

who think you can separate politics from aromatherapy you are living

in a fools paradise. In the next few days I hope to post some

information on rosewood oil and that inevitably involves political

issues.

 

So lets hope Butch has a welcome break and maybe I can fill the gap

if only a little. Assuming does not keep messing me around!

This is great news. I've been wondering for a while about some

political issues regarding EOs - like: am I helping or hindering

workers in 3rd world/emerging market countries by purchasing EOs? Are

they enslaved and exploited for work by distillers a la De Beers or

Starbucks? How much of an environmental footprint does the harvest of

plant material and distillation of EOs leave?

 

My conscience needs to know these things....
