Monica's Story
Seems like several years ago, first the Republicans and then the Democrats, put out a 'trial balloon' on the notion of family values, and received a positive response. I guess that means that the heart and soul of the American people, agrees with the notion that if we could behave more like a 'good' family might, we'd be a lot better off. I suspect the notion that 60 some-odd percent of the American people respond that God has an influence in what happens, in a positive direction, indicates the same sort of thing.
If this is true, then who are our parents, and what kind of example are our 'parents' giving us?
Some would prefer to talk about family values in the 'pictured' way. Can't imagine that would feel good to the parties in question ??? How then does this 'teach' us what it means to be part of a family ?
It would seem that the example being presented to us, by media and politicians, is the following.
- The management of our 'household' is equally controlled, contributed to by two parties, the Republicans and Democrats, the Liberals and Conservatives, the Left and the Right. The power between them is divided roughly equally. Kind of like the 'ideal' mother and father ?
- In the American household then, first the mother, and then the father, make recommendations as to how the family ought to proceed.
- How do they proceed? Consistantly and constantly, forever and ever, year after year, incident after incident, slogan after slogan, jingle after theme song, they proceed to criticize and condemn each other.
- How's that work in your family ???
SoCô¿ôL has a tendency to think that there's a tremendous lack of integrity when people talk about the good of the country, the good of anything, and then proceed to abuse respected members of their family. But, then, that's negative isn't it ???

How do you go about saying that the individual ideas that both sides espouse, have value? Isn't it a good thing that one side may adopt the best ideas of the other? and vice versa ? I'd be interested to know if the 'shifting paradigm's' occuring in many different areas of many different people's lives, will have an
impact on the relationship between our mother and father ??? on their children ???

The Supreme Court Decided ...
The Supreme Court yesterday spurned Clinton's contention that he should not
have to defend himself against Jones until 2001, finding that nothing in the
Constitution allows a sitting president to postpone a private civil damages
lawsuit. The court said it is unlikely the case would burden Clinton's time.

Oh guilt! Yes, yes, yes. It is so rampant on so many levels in our
culture, Catholic or not, especially in the areas of sexuality and pleasure. The
whole Judeo-Christian ethic that has been programmed into most of us tells
us that we're flawed and we must spend our lifetimes fixing/elevating our
out-of control, basic nature. When what it is we really need to do is
de-program the misconceptions and lies weÇve been taught!
So, we spend our lives looking incessantly for what's"wrong" so we can fix
it to feel "right!" There is a saying, "where the attention and emotions go,
manifestation follows." The more you look for what's wrong, the more you
will find that feels wrong. Feeling wrong, means not feeling right. And we
want to feel right. The pang we feel at being wrong, is guilt.
One very simple way to begin to turn this around is to choose to focus your
attention more on what feels "right" or good. What attitudes, beliefs,
thoughts, actions help us to feel wonderful inside and wonderful about
ourselves. What works?...And then continue to follow your nose into those
pathways and places. It gets easier with dedicated practice.

Subject: Sexual Harassment
Hi
I am also doing a thesis on this subject. I am doing my MBA. But I have
never written a thesis before. My paper will talk about all the things
you are talking about plus how it can be reduced in the workplace. If
you can help me with anything I will appreciate it very much.

Thanks Surekha ..
For yo'er response to SoCô¿ôL and SoCô¿ôL comments on
Sexual Harassment.
I reckon we could turn boys into girls and girls into men ?
Let's face it. Our societies inability to learn the difference between
law and spirit, our propensity to blame and penalize, our goal oriented
attempt to 'equalize' the playing field, is currently conducted in an
environment where people are continually forced to choose up sides.
The critical question is, whether the most significant difference
between human beings, is the difference between their legs, or between
their ears.
The Doctor ...
The Doctor, Thomas A Most, doesn't write often or long, but on this subject he has.
Freedom of speech is determined by those who can best afford to defend it.
Money/power therefore make some more equal than others. Factor in the
"spin doctors" and the truth becomes something that is more influenced by
whatever lies which can be told most often and most consistantly, hence,
those who hold the greatest influence over media.
This is one of those truths that I hate to acknowledge. The almighty paycheck. I hate
when logic and reason and principle and good deeds are replaced by competition among paid
assasins.
It really has very little to do with sex, but of money, greed and power.
There has been a subtle (and, sometimes, not so subtle) shift of power
from the penis to the vagina. It is not that that power has existed from
the dawn of human history so much as an overt acceptance of that power in
a once male dominated political and judicial arena.
Sure can make a mess of our private lives.

Family values and improved human relations are not
achieved in courtrooms.

P.S. I am continually reminded of a statement made by a favorite lady friend,
