Letter: Sacred wetlands

JABOTB, We don't know how many animals will die but some certainly will.

Animals will also live. Animals will get along. That's what we do.

I certainly hate when commuter convenience and "economic development" lord it over sanity and I hate new pavement...but commuters, developers and wildlife will be benefiting from this debacle.

Wildlife will benefit. That doesn't make this silliness sane, but it makes your argument a tiny bit lame. There is plenty to argue about, don't put it on the backs of the mosquito fish, blue-winged teal and dreams of crawfish frogs.

With regard to the rights of property owners and stewards, we all feel the tragedy of the commons. This will not go away. This will likely be our end, but the meek will carry on and the lords of little deaths will always rise again. There will be wildlife death, and it will forecast our own death.

In a distinct way, death rules over life. Still, the meek rule and life will continue.

All said, a good fight was mounted against the powers that be. Be happy about the expanded wetlands that you helped create. Let's honor and support the wetlands that will carry on, since there is no way to stop this project.

Exactly... The privileged have privileged information, the right to use it to further their ends, to line their pockets and dismiss all other views, saving those who agree with their ends or fail to understand them.

If you illegally gather information, within the law, then you have perpetrated the greatest of evils. You have declared yourself a god.

The iPhone is not NEAT. It is messy, addictive and watched by those who steal. It is in the hands of those born every minute and willing to give their minutes to those who wish to control our times.

Shamanic healing has a foothold in Lawrence

I would agree that they got what they paid for. They may have gotten more than that.

I also think it's impossible for you to have knowledge that would indicate that they're only looking for an experience and could care less about "truth".

BTW, is it such a horrible thing to be looking for experience in this life? Do you not believe there is value of seeking new experiences?

Shamanic healing has a foothold in Lawrence

Shamanism is a simple offering to assist people in "finding" their way, not some end of searching for enlightenment. Believing that your soul is "just fine, better than fine" is the epitome of arrogance.

Do you fear all that is beyond your religion? Do you revile it? You make it seem as if you do. Why would you not care to believe that shamanism is as present as any beat of any drum, or any voice of loving assistance? You've no doubt felt the power of drums and positive thought. Why do you knock it like it's a criminal act? You have nothing to lose, right?

I believe that you're not saving any "souls" with your negative attitude. Do you disagree?

Oh...and $35 is a cheap concert for a venue of uplifting words and music.where you get to relax on stage.

You are not a preacher of your faith. You are not a healing influence. You detract from your philosophy by claiming that you are swell...while denigrating others.
