Passion vs Flaming

[Guest guest]

I love passion! Passion keeps us alive and on our feet!

 

We should feel excited! We should feel upset. We should support one

another! We should praise one another! We should confront one

another! We should question one another!

 

I hope no one is afraid of a little confrontation or

questioning. . .How else do we expect to uncover the Truth?

 

People are dying due to the corporatocracy and the dis-information

that is propagated in regards to diet and lifestyle in order to keep

us sick and dependent. We should feel passionate about the mission

to exalt to the Planet the benefits of holistic living and Raw

Foodism.

 

Of course we should be respectful and tactful and should control our

flames. However, I do not think that we should hold back our

viewpoints if we feel they are important enough.

 

Recently, some members were upset by a certain accusation. In trying

to understand this, I asked myself, how else could one have said, " I

believe you belong to the CIA " any way other than that?

 

Perhaps the member could have re-phrased the question as, " Would you

be so kind as to inform me if you have been or are presently linked

to a certain governmental organization with 2 vowels and a consonant

in its abbreviation that is believed to plant subversives in

grassroots organizations such as ours? " But upon further inspection

of this phrasing, my conclusion is that this takes too much space and

time and causes one to get loss in the translation.

 

Is this a point of view that one should keep to oneself? From what I

understand, similar activities from a similar organization brought

death to the civil rights movement. Of course we should not become

McCarthy-like and allow paranoia to destroy us, but a little civil

discourse should prevent that.

 

Please do not take this as an endorsement of that viewpoint, but a

little discussion back and forth keeps this group alive. Members can

choose to respond or ignore as they please, but offending someone is

not the same as flaming someone.
